Corfu: A Cloud-Scale Consistency Platform

Corfu is a consistency platform designed around the abstraction of a shared log. CorfuDB objects are in-memory, highly available data structures providing linearizable read/write operations and strictly serializable transactions. This talk will go over the benefits of Corfu and show how easy it is to build a distributed system using Corfu.

Talk objectives:

  • By the end of the talk, you will be inspired to write your next distributed system around Corfu!

Target audience:

  • People who build, program, administer or otherwise have to deal with distributed systems.
