We've been hosting a live show weekly on Mondays at 5p for about an hour, and recording them all; here is the recording.
In addition to Bryan Cantrill and Adam Leventhal, speakers included Dave Pacheco. Eliza Weisman, Andrew Stone, Greg Colombo, and James MacMahon.
Some of the topics we hit on, in the order that we hit them:
- Distributed Sagas: A Protocol for Coordinating Microservices - Caitie McCaffrey
- Oxide RFD 107: Workflows Engine
- Steno
- chat: "the trouble with other people's workflow engines, somehow with all the yaml in the world they're never quite extensible enough"
- Not our first bit of background noise on OxF (trombone)
- SAGAS paper
- chat: "when i hear sagas i think "transaction semantics enforced at the application layer" and when i hear workflow i hear "a dsl that doesn't have a for loop""
- Automated saga testing
- Oxide RFD 289: Steno Upgrade
- Feral Concurrency Control paper from Berkeley and the University of Sydney
- Eliza's PR
- Steno's description of its divergence from Distributed Sagas
- AWS "constant work" blog
- chat: "Now, migrate the owl."
- OxF on formal methods
- A complex bug with sagas: "tl;dr there's TWENTY steps in 5042 that leads to an accounting bug"
- Oxide RFD 373: Reliable Persistent Workflows
- Eliza's novella on updating an instance
