In this episode, David is joined by Unmesh Joshi, Principal Consultant at Thoughtworks and author of “Patterns of Distributed Systems” for a conversation on the technical intricacies that keep modern applications running smoothly.

Join as we discuss:
Key concepts behind distributed systems, including fault tolerance and consistency models, consensus algorithms, and more.
Unmesh’s inspiration behind “Patterns of Distributed Systems,” and how he hopes to simplify complex concepts for developers.
Technical predictions for distributed systems over the next five years.
