Presentation : Netflix API – BAPI 2011 – SF
This is my presentation from the Business of APIs Conference in SF, held by Mashery (http://www.apiconference.com). This talk talks briefly about the history of the Netflix API, then goes into three main categories of scaling:
- 1. Using the cloud to scale in size and internationally
- 2. Using Webkit to scale application development in parallel to the flexibility afforded by the API
- 3. Redesigning the API to improve performance and to downscale the infrastructure as the system scales
When viewing these slides, please note that they are almost entirely image-based, so I have added notes for each slide to detail the talking points.
