Session Abstract
The world of online learning has been very, very busy in the past year. At my company D2L, we host websites for schools. We just experienced our busiest semester start ever pushing our infrastructure further than we’ve ever pushed it. I’d like to share my own experiences. I’ll describe how busy we got and the lessons we learned, both the ones we anticipated and the ones that took us by surprise.
And what about the future? What practical strategies are we adopting to evolve our database architecture to handle even more growth? I’d like to share the way we understand our scaling challenges and how we plan to tackle them.
