Containers are the key technical enablers for tremendously accelerated deployment and innovation cycles. Think of containers as the packaging for microservices that separate the content from its environment – the underlying operating system and infrastructure. In production, containers are easy to replicate. What is Docker?

Google was among the pioneers that created “web scale” architectures to analyze the massive data sets that resulted from “crawling” the web that gave birth to Apache Hadoop, MapReduce, and NoSQL databases. Are there inherent time relationships in the messages that need to be preserved as they travel across the system? At least once?

Chokepoint : Even sharded Berkeley DB was choking under the stress and there was a database crash with recovery taking hours, it had to be replaced. Similarly, if one customer is causing an anomaly that is choking the system then temporarily disable that customer or service for that customer and re-enable it when issue is fixed.
