Systems Analysis for Highload: What Really Matters

How to identify critical requirements for a highload system before they become a problem?

Drawing on real-world experience, this practical talk focuses on what really matters when analysing and designing highload systems.

We’ll explore how to identify non-obvious use cases, predict peak loads, and design a metrics system. I’ll walk you through how to gather non-functional requirements properly, what architectural aspects to consider from the start, and how to validate decisions made.

After the talk, you'll get a set of practices and tools for working on highload projects that will help prevent issues before they arise.

All examples are based on real projects and real mistakes — the kind you’ll want to avoid repeating.
