MesosCon EU 2016

Cloud-based infrastructure is providing businesses with enhanced resiliency, improved performance and reduced costs. Development against such infrastructure, however, has become turgid and fragile. Even with the revolution of “infrastructure as code”, we still see hardcoded IP Addresses, sleeps and randomly failing unit tests. Test’s themselves are bloated with boilerplate connection code and massive delays as test infrastructure is provisioned. The rapid feedback loops promoted in the previous decade are fast becoming impossible to achieve.

The presentation will introduce the audience to Apache Mesos and several Mesos-related projects that we hope solve some of these problems. Minimesos is an in-memory development environment to allow engineers to develop scalable applications on their own machine. Mesos-Starter is a Spring component that enables users to create a Mesos framework in a matter of minutes. And our bleeding edge project, Mesos-Monkey, provides a tool to harden, test and verify an application's resiliency to failure.

The audience will also be able to try online versions of MiniMesos throughout and after the presentation.
