Building Low Latency Apps Masterclass

Latency hides in every layer of a distributed system. In this masterclass you’ll learn proven strategies to eliminate bottlenecks across the stack — from the application layer down to the database.

Designed for teams building performance critical applications, this event offers practical methods for battling P99 (and higher) percentiles, and knowing when it's time to stop optimizing. Attendees will walk away with a holistic approach, including techniques that intersect many areas of software engineering, distributed systems, databases, and operating systems.

Draw from real world experience of Pekka Enberg (Turso CTO/Founder and author of Latency) and Felipe Cardeneti Mendes (Technical Director at ScyllaDB and co-author of Database Performance at Scale) and learn how to:

• Spot, understand, and respond to latency, across your whole stack
• Tackle often-overlooked causes of database latency
• Evaluate when (and when not) to use caching for latency reduction
