Description:

Demystifying the internet beyond the cloud

With the advent of cloud computing services in the last decade deploying a website or internet-connected solution to a global audience in 2019 is easier than ever. While it is easy to deploy a website with a few cloud compute instances behind an elastic load balancer, there is still a significant amount of physical internet infrastructure between your customers and your web server. This talk focuses on what the internet infrastructure looks like beyond the cloud and gives a brief introduction to how the internet works in 2019.

A big thank you to our sponsor and host, Root Insurance. Without companies like Root who are willing to put their time and money into supporting the local tech community, activities like this would not be possible.
