Dan Draper
With significant data breaches becoming the daily norm, our approaches to storing data in the cloud, especially with 3rd party providers need to radically improve.
Up next · 7:00
Lenfree Yeung
Lenfree will talk about how he got started with Elixir, along with the things he likes and dislikes. Then he'll show off his solution and talk about his learnings for a rate limiting library, which he developed.
That's a wrap
Thanks for coming. Stick around for a chat, and we're always after speakers, first-timers included.
