Ben Butler-Cole tells the story of how Neo4j’s system developed, both the product and the implementation, in terms of the decisions they made about how to manage risk. He talks about their use of Kubernetes as a foundation for their stateful service: why they chose it and how they handled the risks associated with that choice. Filmed at qconlondon.com.
Ben Butler-Cole is the engineering lead for Neo4j's new DBaaS product. He has spent most of the last two decades looking for imaginative ways to build software without unnecessarily increasing the number of lines of code at large in the world. He has worked in publishing, finance, retail and telecommunications.

database inside [Kubernetes]. This is going to make
you lose your job—guaranteed.”
