We have been running a truly global deployment for 3+ years now. With datacenters in D.C., England, Europe, and Japan, we would be hard pressed to span more distance without visiting Antarctica. Bandwidth in and out of our datacenters varies greatly, as does latency. Comms are not always 100% reliable either. This was one of the main things that led us to choose Cassandra. This talk will cover many of the lessons learned and best practices for both preventing issues and recovering from them in the real world.
