Prior to that, I was PayPal's Chief Data Engineer, helping build systems, platforms, teams, and processes that enabled access to the hundreds of petabytes of data under PayPal's management.\n\nEarlier in my career, I held senior technical roles at Netflix, LinkedIn, eBay, and Etsy, among others. I earned my BS and MS degrees in Computer Science from Cornell University, where I focused on distributed systems.\n\nOutside of work, I advise early-stage companies and several technology conferences. Once an active committer on Apache Airflow, I'm now mostly a fan and supporter of the open-source community.",

In this session, we'll pull back the curtain on Azure Cosmos DB's internal architecture, from how we deploy our database engine onto hardware from partners like AMD in datacenters worldwide, to how we set up replica sets with quorum-based replication to deliver the high availability guarantees you depend on. We'll demystify how consistent hashing determines where your data lands and why choosing a good partition key matters so much. From there, we'll explore how we built the pay-per-request serverless model, demystifying what a Request Unit actually is under the covers. We'll also look at capabilities like RU pooling, which lets you pool throughput capacity across your workloads when running a fleet of Cosmos DB containers. We're ditching PowerPoint and going straight to the whiteboard for this one."
