Managing cloud resources in a distributed and fault-tolerant manner with EVRYTHNG’s resource manager #138

Closed stephendeyoung closed 5 years ago

stephendeyoung commented 6 years ago

At EVRYTHNG we had to a build a number of Node.js applications that required managing multiple resources in a distributed environment. For example, handling real-time connections to other clouds such as Nest and Honeywell and sending notifications to IFTTT applets. What if there was a library that handled the allocation and distribution of these resources so developers could focus on the core business logic of their application?

The EVRYTHNG distributed resource manager is a Node.js library that solves this problem. Developers don’t need to worry about maintaining real-time connections when new nodes are added to the system or if one of them goes down.

In this talk I would demonstrate the resource manager so attendees will see what problems it solves for us at EVRYTHNG. In addition, they will gain an understanding of how we use Node.js at our company and how it helps us scale. Please note that this library is not currently open source but it should be in the next 1-2 months.

I work as a Technical Lead for EVRYTHNG who provide an IoT platform for businesses around the world. It’s my role to decide on the architecture for various parts of the platform and how we will build these components using Node.js. I’ve been programming in Node for five years.

Hi @stephendeyoung - thank you for your talk proposal - this is great - I'd love to hear more on this kind of use of node - and it will be nice to see how EVRYTHNG has progressed since @domguinard's talk at LNUG a couple year's ago (Node.js, the Web and the IoT.

We are currently working out our final schedule for this month's meetup (next week Wednesday 23rd May). There may still be a speaker slot available. Does that work for you - if not, there's June/July/Aug... (if you want to wait till your library is ready and open source?)

Let me know.

meanwhile... some members have asked us to formalise the agreement with speakers: So just checking - and can you confirm:

@lnug/contributors - can I get another seconder for this talk please?

It's a very interesting talk subject - I second it.

On a sidenote, me and Stephen both worked at a company called Axisto about 5 years ago - he's a good chap, and pretty sharp at table football.

admataz commented 6 years ago

Hi @stephendeyoung - I've moved you to June - how does that suit?

stephendeyoung commented 6 years ago

@admataz June works for me. Length of talk is fine and I agree to the Code of Conduct.
