About this talk
As demand increases, systems don’t fail gradually. Pressure builds quickly, and underlying weaknesses are exposed all at once.
Camjar Djoweini looks at what happens behind the scenes during these moments, from overloaded components to failures spreading across services. The talk focuses on why systems struggle under peak demand and what it takes to keep them stable when it matters most.
The emphasis is on designing for real conditions. Not just scaling for growth, but building systems that can handle uncertainty, absorb spikes, and continue operating when parts of the system begin to fail.
What you’ll learn:
- What happens inside systems as demand increases
- Where pressure tends to build first
- Why failures spread across services
- How to design systems that remain stable under load
