Speaker: Flavio Percoco
Marconi is a multi-tenant cloud queuing system written in Python as part of the OpenStack project. As every message bus, it’s main goals are: performance, availability, durability, fault-tolerance and scalability. Besides providing support for queuing and notification services through OpenStack, Marconi aims to ease the design of distributed systems and allow for asynchronous work distribution without creating yet another message broker.
This talk aims to give the audience as much information as possible about Marconi’s architecture, design, patterns, performance, issues it faced and how / why it was built from scratch.
