Real-Time Adaptive Controls for Resilient Distributed Systems

Explore a conference talk on implementing real-time adaptive controls for enhancing the resilience of distributed systems. Dive deep into CrowdStrike's approach to dynamically tuning service parameters using techniques inspired by TCP congestion control. Learn how this method improves system resilience by real-time sampling of errors and latencies, eliminating the need for periodic manual adjustments. Discover the challenges and lessons learned from deploying this feature in CrowdStrike's massive production environment, which handles trillions of events daily. Gain insights into minimizing configuration surfaces, reducing operational toil, and preventing overload and cascading failures in modern services with hundreds of tunables.
