Managing Big Storage Clusters at Twitter

Distributed databases are complex systems with multiple dependencies that must be maintained in order to conserve correctness. Manhattan, Twitter's primary distributed key-valve store, has many differing capabilities that require careful and subtly different orchestration while operating on the cluster in order to deploy new versions or add and remove nodes. This talk will touch on the evolution of Manhattan's automated cluster management service, cover some of the complications involved in operating large featureful storage clusters, and discuss the importance of generalized infrastructure for the sanity of your team members.
