Photo credit: Carol Yepes Last month Pandora announced a public podcast beta in conjunction with the Podcast Genome Project. This rollout introduced many exciting features to our current mobile application offerings, including fully integrated and native podcast support. Ironically, one of the most interesting features and perhaps our biggest engineering win with this iteration is something that’s transparent to our end users: the inclusion of a new audio playback sequencer used exclusively for

by Deva Jayaraman , Shashi Madappa , Sridhar Enugula , and Ioannis Papapanagiotou EVCache has been a fundamental part of the Netflix platform (we call it Tier-1), holding Petabytes of data. Our caching layer serves multiple use cases from signup, personalization, searching, playback, and more. It is comprised of thousands of nodes in production and hundreds of clusters all of which must routinely scale up due to the increasing growth of our members.

Summary Distributed systems are complex to build and operate, and there are certain primitives that are common to a majority of them. Rather then re-implement the same capabilities every time, many projects build on top of Apache Zookeeper. In this episode Patrick Hunt explains how the Apache Zookeeper project was started, how it functions, and how it is used as a building block for other distributed systems.

The “micro frontends” idea has been around for a while now, with great resources such as this Tom Söderlund article , which includes a list of current existing implementations. In this article, I would like to take an in-depth look at the reference implementation using fragments: explain what it tries to achieve, where it falls short and possible solutions to those limitations.
