Event Description
Spirits, Ski & Java
from Jan 12th to 16th, 2018
jSpirit is a new Java unconference in the Bavarian alps. Starting in Winter 2018, we’re down for Spirits, Ski & JAVA. How does that sound do you?
Spirits
jSpirit is the first Java (un)conference ever being held in a distillery (at least to our knowledge). And it’s not just any distillery – it’s Europe’s most modern distillery: Lantenhammer Erlebnisdestillerie Hausham!
By the way: we are renting the entire distillery: lunch will be served in the main storage depot between all the whisky, gin, rum and schnapps barrels. And we can hold sessions everywhere, even right by the stills!

Sovereign fault domains are failure boundaries defined by legal, political, or physical jurisdiction rather than hardware topology. The article maps geopolitical events to known distributed-systems failure modes, argues multi-region should replace multi-AZ as the HA baseline for systems crossing jurisdictions, and outlines design patterns, chaos experiments, and an ALE model to justify the spend.
