We built a database in .NET and pushed the runtime to its absolute limits. In this talk, we'll dissect the engineering decisions we made, extracting hard-won lessons you can use to build truly high-performance software. Expect battle-tested techniques you can apply to any demanding .NET service. Even if it's not a database.

Join us to learn how to survive the sharp edges of systems programming. We'll explore:
1. JSON and Beyond
2. The Memory Game
3. Taming the State Machine
4. Beyond the Cache Line
5. Vectorize Everything!
6. Surviving the Ecosystem

~60 min. but not less than 50 minutes, .NET & related (public cloud will be referred to), for people interested in building great software
