Beyond Stateless: Distributed Transactions with Autoscaling and Consistency on K... Jumpei Nishitani

This talk covers a practical approach to implementing distributed transactions with strong consistency and seamless autoscaling on Kubernetes. The speaker, Jumpei Nishitani from Hitachi, demonstrates how to integrate a transaction monitor with the Horizontal Pod Autoscaler, allowing stateless business applications to maintain ACID properties while scaling efficiently. Through real-world examples, the session provides valuable insights into system design and deployment, making it relevant for cloud architects, engineers modernizing legacy systems, and developers interested in online transaction processing. Key technologies discussed include Kubernetes, Paxos Commit Transaction Orchestrator, and the Horizontal Pod Autoscaler.
