Live from Google Cloud Next ‘19 the KPfG team presents a fireside chat with Eric Brewer, our first guest with their own Wikipedia page. Eric devised the CAP theorem for distributed systems, based on his work at early search company Inktomi and UC Berkeley. He was the person who announced Kubernetes to the world almost 5 years ago, and has been working on Google’s cluster and compute infrastructure since 2011.
