Directions:

- From the train station "Wallisellen", head south into Richtistrasse. 
- After ~250m, you reach an area with 5 large office buildings (also Microsoft is in one of those).
- The building where Cisco is, is the south-western one, with the entrance at the very end of this building
- Enter the lobby and the elevator, then hit the button where it says "Cisco" in the elevator :-)

"Stateful Containers - the next challenge in microservices"

Crate is an open-source SQL database that is highly available, scalable and based on a shared-nothing masterless architecture, enabling significant performance increases over competing solutions. “Crate´s simplicity and masterless architecture make it a perfect match for containerized environments,” Solomon Hykes, founder and CTO of Docker. “I expect to see it widely deployed as more developers adopt the new microservices paradigm.”

Demo time: Running MySQL and InfluxDB cloud-native style

In the last meetup, we introduced 2 different approaches how to operate self-healing, stateful services like databases. This time, we want to demo these two approaches:

Demo 1: The Autopilot pattern in action: Running MySQL in container orchestators like Kubernetes or Mesos

Demo 2: Running a self-healing InfluxDB cluster on Mantl.io using a custom-built Mesos framework
