Twitter is hosting a meetup in San Francisco on March 25th, and there's still room to RSVP:
https://www.eventbrite.com/e/aurora-and-mesosframeworksmeetup-tickets-10850994617 Come learn about Apache Aurora, a framework developed by Twitter for running services on Mesos, and hear about the Mesos framework API and changes that will be made in the near-future to make it easier for framework developers to write distributed applications for Mesos. Following the talks, there will be time to socialize about Aurora and developing Mesos frameworks. *Introduction to Apache Aurora by William Farner* In this talk we introduce Apache Aurora, a framework built on top of Apache Mesos with the goal of providing a general-purpose process scheduler. Aurora has been in development at Twitter for about four years (growing alongside Mesos), and powers a large portion of Twitter's services and ad-hoc processes. In November 2013, Aurora was accepted into the Apache Incubator program. Apache Aurora is self-described as a service scheduler, which means that it aims to reliably run many replicas of a serving system. Additionally, it encourages decoupling service management from machine management, allowing a relatively small number of administrators to manage very large fleets of machines. *Building distributed frameworks on Mesos by Benjamin Hindman* This talk will explore the fundamentals of Mesos, as well as what it takes to build applications and frameworks on top. In particular, it will focus upcoming changes to the framework API to simplify the process of writing new frameworks on Mesos.
