• Making DISQUS realtime

  by Adam Hitchcock

  Currently in development is the DISQUS realtime service. This talk will detail what it took to add real time to a truly “web scale” django app.

  This will include:

  • Numbers! how much concurrency and msg/s we are supporting with realtime
  • Overview of the architecture (redis + gevent + flask) and why those choices were made
  • How we baked high availability into the application, not just the infrastructure
  • Overview of the hardware involved
  • Lessons learned (what broke hard, what worked awesome)

  I hate long talks and love open spaces. Also, I’m not the world’s leading expert in real time anything. So I’m planning on making this a 20-30 minute talk, and then converting it to an open space for 20-30 minutes which I will lead. The goal is to get a good conversation going around the topics I will have presented. So I’d prefer a 45-60 minute slot.

  Suggested audience experience:

  • Medium/Advanced level experience
  • Familiarity with Flask, Gevent/Eventlet would be really good.
  • Disqus
  • Django
  • Gevent
  • Real Time
  • Redis
  • Scaling
