An edge gateway is an essential piece of infrastructure for large scale cloud-based services.
In his session at 17th Cloud Expo, Mikey Cohen, Manager, Edge Gateway at Netflix, will detail the purpose, benefits and use cases for an edge gateway to provide security, traffic management and cloud cross region resiliency. He will discuss how a gateway can be used to enhance continuous deployment and help testing of new service versions and get service insights and more. Philosophical and architectural approaches to what belongs in a gateway vs what should be in services will be discussed.
Real examples of how gateway services are used in front of nearly all of Netflix’s consumer facing traffic will show how gateway infrastructure is used in real highly available, massive scale services.
