Distributed Systems in One Lesson by Tim Berglund

Normally simple tasks like running a program or storing and retrieving data become much more complicated when we start to do them on collections of computers, rather than single machines. Distributed systems has become a key architectural concern, and affects everything a program would normally do—giving us enormous power, but at the cost of increased complexity as well.

Using a series of examples all set in a coffee shop, we’ll explore topics like distributed storage, computation, timing, messaging, and consensus. You'll leave with a good grasp of each of these problems, and a solid understanding of the ecosystem of open-source tools in the space.

Tim's lectures are so funny and captivating that I can binge on them instead of Netflix.

Thanks for the lessons m Berglund. This was by far one of the educating 40 minutes I had in years. I'd like to thank you for sharing your knowledge.

"I like americano today, tomorrow maybe [...] mocca with extra foam - I'm the definition of mutable state" 😂

"I am the very definition of mutable state" Awesome. I think I may need to steal this. Thank you Tim!

All this Hadoop/Spark thingy are so abstract that I have no clue what is what anymore. 🤣😂

Anyone else noticed: "Kakfa" in the heading of the slide :O..

[korniszon]

Nice talk. It feels like watching a good movie :)

[matheusdallrosa]

I don't know if it is a natural skill from this speaker, but he speaks in a very clear way that i can watch the talk in 1.5 speed. Thank you.

Tim has a knack for explaining things in a clear and intuitive way. A great teacher, I hope he does more of this. Regards from Chennai.

What if I tell you that you read 'kakfa' as 'kafka' 33:07

Amazing single place to know about Distributed system, tools and techniques.
Thanks for sharing...

[tommysuriel]

Best explanation of Cassandra and consistent Hashing in all of Youtube

[huntrz]

the original lesson is on Oreilly and its amazing

Great introduction to Distributed Systems. So often the industry gets bogged down in buzzwords and cliche terms that newcomers find it difficult to know where to begin. This is a great starting point.

[johannsebastianbach]

As a full stack developer who does stand up on the side, gotta say that was one tough crowd :D

[deepakzworld]

Not Really.
This video starts with briefly explaining distributed systems concept but then goes into specific tools/technologies prevalent in current times. As such, this video might be irrelevant to its title in a few years.
