Overheard at P99 CONF

Great #p99conf so far -- a masterclass on all the kinds of latency in services, and then a really interesting talk from someone building their own toy operating system, and the latency challenges they solved in it.

The Scylla team’s conferences—P99 CONF and Monster Scale Summit— are top-tier. The hardest part is choosing a track when every session looks great. And the swag is in its own league 🙂

Why Attend the P99 Conference?

There’s no other event like this — a conference for engineers by engineers, where we’ll share novel approaches for solving complex problems efficiently and at speed. Vendor and tool agnostic, this conference will be for a highly technical audience only. Your boss’s boss is not invited.
