Implementing the Geode Pattern in Azure .Net

iO Associates bring you our latest .Net Virtual Meetup. We are joined by William Eastbury, Principal Azure Architect and Engineer at Microsoft, who deliver a session on ‘Implementing the Geode Pattern in Azure with Front Door, Azure App Service and Azure Cosmos DB’.

Many large-scale services have specific challenges around geo-availability and scale.

The Geode pattern involves deploying a collection of backend services into a set of geographical nodes, each of which can service any request for any client in any region. This pattern allows serving requests in an active-active style, improving latency and increasing availability by distributing request processing around the globe.

We walk through a practical demo of this architecture and built a cloud-scale, globally geo-resilient, and globally performant scaled data storage service architecture that will perform at scale from all corners of the globe.
