Description

500 million people around the world use Dropbox to work the way they want, on any device, wherever they go. With 200,000 businesses on Dropbox Business, we are transforming everyday workflows of entire industries. In this keynote session, Peter Boros from Dropbox’s databases team will give us a peek to the challenges they are facing to handle the metadata of 1,200,000,000 uploaded files every single day. Because of the sheer volume and growth, the team has to use automation, and think about optimizations all day, every day. We will discuss our design decisions over time, the improvements we made and their impact, and what do we have in the making.
