serverless-iiif: From flail to scale in a year or less

Description:

A presentation given at Samvera Connect 2020 On-line described thus and After trying to navigate deployment, configuration, performance, and scaling issues of several different image servers and support infrastructure (Cantaloupe, Aware, Riiif, nginx, and SquidCache, to name a few), we decided to see if we could build something less general/configurable but far more suited to our use case and runtime environment. serverless-iiif started out as a bare bones, proof-of-concept demonstration of how a scalable, high-performance IIIF image server could be implemented in a small, inexpensive AWS Lambda function. Just over a year later, the project serves as the basis for high-volume IIIF services running in production at Northwestern University, Princeton University, the University of Notre Dame, and the Royal Pavilion & Museums, Brighton & Hove. This presentation will cover the project from its beginnings (as a small demo repository carved out of Northwestern's cloud repository infrastructure), through a number of forks, merges, performance enhancements, deployment improvements, and into production. We will also include performance benchmarks, current production stats, and some thoughts on future work. The 'Related URL' below links to a video recording of the session. The video has closed captioning.

Inter-institutional Spikes: Exploring Elixir

Description:

Princeton and Northwestern recently underwent a two-week spike to explore a set of new technologies we might use in our respective teams. We looked at ElasticSearch, Elixir, and Phoenix. This presentation will go through our expected outcomes, strategies for a successful collaboration, our eventual output, and a retrospective on how the process went with advice for any others looking to do this kind of exploratory work. The video recording of this segment is available at the 'Related URL' below.
