QCon is one of my favorite engineering conferences. That makes it even more special to be asked to host a new "Accelerating APIs and Edge Computing" track at #QConPlus in May. Join the event and learn how to deliver data from servers to your users faster and more efficiently. We have very exciting talks coming up from leading-edge experts in the field (pun intended) - I'll share more details within a couple of weeks.

QCon Plus session spotlight
BBC Online: Architecting for Scale with the Cloud and Serverless
During the 2020 US Presidential Election, BBC Online served video, audio, and text to over 140 million users. Events like this require the BBC’s sites and apps to be at their very best – fast, reliable, and relevant at a massive scale. It’s been achieved with a modern, cloud-native architecture that’s dependable and scalable.
In this talk we’ll dive into this architecture, to understand how BBC Online works. We’ll discuss resilience, caching, error handling, cloud costs, and more. And we’ll take a particular look at how the architecture utilizes serverless, both to help with scaling, and to speed up development.
Matthew Clark, head of architecture for the @BBC's Digital Products
