How Starbucks Rewards Scaled To 50M+ Users
About this Event
Niran Fajemisin, Engineering Director @ Airbnb, ex Director Amazon, Twitter, Starbucks is joining us for an event to teach how to build reliable large scale distributed systems.
If you are dealing with distributed systems, cloud migrations, or high-stakes architecture, this talk is for you. We are skipping the high-level fluff and getting straight into the technical realities of moving the massive Starbucks Loyalty Platform to the cloud for global scale.
Here is what we'll cover:
Agenda
The Blueprint: Why the team chose to experiment with Starbucks Japan first before tackling the massive North American migration.
The Architecture: A technical deep-dive into the use of CQRS and Event Journaling at a massive scale.
The Launch Day Reality: A candid look at what happened when everything went wrong post-launch.
The Outcome: How the underlying architectural choices ultimately saved the backend and positioned the platform to unlock exciting new capabilities.
