Real-world depth
We focus on distributed systems in practice: consistency, consensus, CAP tradeoffs, observability, data movement, fault tolerance, and performance at scale.
Seattle Systems is a community-run meetup focused on distributed systems - algorithms, architecture, reliability, and the hard problems between. Company-neutral, practitioner-friendly.
Open, technical, and welcoming to practitioners of all backgrounds.
We focus on distributed systems in practice: consistency, consensus, CAP tradeoffs, observability, data movement, fault tolerance, and performance at scale.
Run by engineers for engineers - bringing together students, VCs, managers, founders, and researchers across the Seattle area.
No sales decks. Speakers share designs, incidents, and lessons learned so we can all build more resilient systems.
Distributed systems are where theory meets production. We dig into the trade-offs behind real services: latency budgets, backpressure, replication strategies, and failure modes - the details that decide whether systems bend or break.
Talks are free. RSVP required when seats are limited.
