1 post · Jan 2023

What this trail covers

Netflix is building a reliable Device Management Platform to support automated testing of hundreds of device types and partner device onboarding. The platform ingests event-sourced device updates via MQTT and Kafka, processing them into a scalable CockroachDB datastore. Key requirements include back-pressure support, in-order processing, and fault tolerance to handle dynamic traffic loads and ensure up-to-date device information for testing and certification.
