For the last year we have been working on a site-wide WebP adoption project and as a result now serve it to Mobile, Desktop, and TV. We want to share both highlights and lowlights of our effort to bring faster video thumbnails to the web. “Scaling YouTube’s Backend: The Vitess Trade-off.” If your website or mobile service becomes hugely successful, you will quickly realize that one of the hardest parts to scale is the storage. You will also find yourself making various trade-offs related to transactions, consistency, availability and durability. We faced these challenges at YouTube, which gave rise to the development of Vitess, an open source project. This talk will cover Vitess’s architecture and discuss how we found our sweet spot by balancing all these requirements.
