What Came First: The Ordering of Events in Systems
43:00
Summary
Kavya Joshi explores the beautifully simple happens-before principle. She delves into how happens-before is tracked in a distributed database like Riak, and how it’s implicitly maintained by the concurrency primitives provided in languages like Go. She touches upon other sophisticated uses of happens-before like consensus protocols and data race detection.
Bio
Kavya Joshi works as a Software Engineer at Samsara, a start-up in San Francisco. She particularly enjoys architecting and building highly concurrent, highly scalable systems.
