I will discuss common architecture patterns, rollout strategies, evaluation and monitoring loops, operational failure modes, and engineering tradeoffs that show up at large scale. The talk is intended for experienced computing professionals and can be adjusted to a 45-60 minute format with Q&A. Speaker bio: Silu Panda is a Sr. Software Engineer at Linkedin.com.
