##About Rootconf:

Rootconf is HasGeek’s annual conference -- and now a growing community -- around DevOps, systems engineering, DevSecOps, security and cloud. The annual Rootconf conference takes place in May each year, with the exception of 2019 when the conference will be held in June.

Besides the annual conference, we also run meetups, one-off public lectures, debates and open houses on DevOps, systems engineering, distributed systems, legacy infrastructure, and topics related to Rootconf.

This is the place to submit proposals for your work, and get them peer reviewed by practitioners from the community.

##Topics for submission:

We seek proposals -- for short and long talks, as well as workshops and tutorials -- on the following topics:

  1. Case studies of shift from batch processing to stream processing
  2. Real-life examples of service discovery
  3. Case studies on move from monolith to service-oriented architecture
  4. Micro-services
  5. Network security
  6. Monitoring, logging and alerting -- running small-scale and large-scale systems
  7. Cloud architecture -- implementations and lessons learned
  8. Optimizing infrastructure
  9. SRE
  10. Immutable infrastructure
  11. Aligning people and teams with infrastructure at scale
  12. Security for infrastructure

Hotstar Pulse - Processing 25M+ beacons every minute in real-time

Submitted Jul 30, 2019

At hotstar, one of the important metrics which we present to end-users and our business partners is the number of people watching live. While this may seem to be a simple problem of rendering a number, but it ain’t. It’s not an approximate number, it’s an actual number and it need to be presented in real-time to users. Each unique user is counted in real-time, every minute we receive millions of beacons and we process it in real time. At peak when we did 25.3M, we were getting about 30M beacons every minute from across the world.

Outline

The goal of the talk is to present the approach of how we created the design for calculating this number using pure open-source tech.
Objective of the Pulse
Be able to calculate 50M users in real time.
Keep the cost low
Avoid Data loss
Assist Scaling of other system by predicting upcoming traffic
Background on Hotstar 25.3M LIVE
What were the solutions evaluated for building this system
Why not a simple Telegraf + InfluxDB worked for this use case.
The framework for calculating any metric in real time
Ensuring that system was horizontally scalable as the hotstar scaled.
Resilient & Recoverable design.

Requirements

None

Speaker bio

I am a architect & an evangelist at hotstar. I have been associated with hotstar for past 1.5 Years, where I have worked on many projects from preparing the platform for 25M to delivery never done before Server-Side ad insertion on Live.
Before hotstar, I had worked with multiple startups. I had head engineering for BabyChakra (A parenting app), and had lead teams for TinyOwl, HackerRank etc.

I am a full-stack engineer and a hard-core design & architecture geek. I love building distributed systems which work at scale!
