"Typesafe's Director of Engineering, Viktor Klang, equips you with tools and strategies for dealing for system failures."

"What is Aurora? Platforms like Twitter operate across tens of thousands of machines, with hundreds of engineers deploying software daily. In this type of environment, automation is critical. Aurora is software that keeps services running in the face of many types of failure, and provides engineers a convenient, automated way to create and update these services. To accomplish this, Aurora leverages the Apache Mesos cluster manager, which provides information about the state of the cluster. Aurora uses that knowledge to make scheduling decisions. For example, when a machine experiences failure Aurora automatically reschedules those previously-running services onto a healthy machine in order to keep them running."

Consumers Pacto helps you test consumers by both validating and stubbing services. This helps you decouple tests to reduce test times and non-deterministic test failures without losing confidence in your test suite. You can also design compatibility tests for similar consumers. Providers You can use Consumer-Driven Contracts to ensure you're providers are well tested without losing agility. Pacto will test the provider implementation and make sure it complies with the same contract used to stub the service for consumers.

"CockroachDB is a distributed SQL database built on a transactional and strongly-consistent key-value store. It scales horizontally; survives disk, machine, rack, and even datacenter failures with minimal latency disruption and no manual intervention; supports strongly-consistent ACID transactions; and provides a familiar SQL API for structuring, manipulating, and querying data.
