Throughput and latency are at a constant tension. ScyllaDB CTO and co-founder Avi Kivity will show how high throughput and low latency can both be achieved in a single application by using application-level priority scheduling.
Avi Kivity, CTO of ScyllaDB, is known mostly for starting the Kernel-based Virtual Machine (KVM) project, the hypervisor underlying many production clouds. He has worked for Qumranet and Red Hat as KVM maintainer until December 2012. Avi is now CTO of ScyllaDB, a company that seeks to bring the same kind of innovation to the public cloud space.
