Lightning Talk: A Teaspoon Of Sand In The Sahara, Or The Challenges Of Massive Scale Image Rendering In Cloud
Please log in to watch this conference skillscast.
In this talk Dave will share with you how his Team at ZeroLight use NodeJS and MongoDB to efficiently manage render farms to produce millions of actually needed images out of a potential search space of hundreds of quadrillions of images. Specifically, Dave will explore with you real-world use-cases of rendering images for car configurators, where the cars have huge numbers of potential configurations. Thanks to the use of analogies - to help make clear the scale of the problem, you will discover some of the challenges (and some of the answers) of dealing with such huge potential search-spaces in a performant manner. You will also learn about the ramifications on image caching, both speculative and historical, as well as the issues around meaningful invalidation.
