Presentation: Deploying like a Boss: From 2 Servers to 20,000

Time: Monday 12:05 - 12:55 / Location: Grand Ballroom A & B

Deployment systems are where the rubber meets the road for most websites, yet they often begin their lives as uncommented Bash scripts - before exploding into unreadable thousand-line Bash scripts. We'll take a walk through the typical deploy script lifecycle as a business grows, and then look at how Uber's shiny new system handles rolling upgrades, automated rollbacks and other neat features. Finally, we'll peer into the future with Mesos frameworks like Aurora and Marathon.
