Building A Highly Scalable Service that Survived A Super Bowl

We use encryption every day without knowing it. Whether it is our hard drives that are encrypted or we buy something online our data (hopefully!) is encrypted. But how do you build an encryption service? And not only that, how do you build one that will stand up to extreme load for a commercial airing during a Super Bowl? Very tough questions no doubt. All sorts of things must be answered like the technology stack and much more. In this session I'm going to tell you how at Quicken Loans we built one of our most important and robust services to date. I'll tell the story of how we overcame adversity of a hard deadline and how our culture played a critical role in our success. I'll also cover the technologies we used, how we chose them and tell one our greatest technical stories most have never heard of the day we launched Rocket Mortgage to the nation on Super Bowl Sunday.
