Take a peek at some of the R&D that we are doing at William Hill to cope with 464 bets per second, 5,000,000 price changes and 160TB of data passing daily through our networks on a system that is available 24x7.

Talk objectives:

- Discussion of the high level architecture used to build these systems.

- Apache Kafka as the firehose.

- Connecting and scaling systems with Docker.

- Dashboards with Elastic Search and Kibana.

- A demo or two.

Target audience:
