Joseph Lynch is a software engineer for Yelp who focuses on building datastore and service infrastructure. Joey is a core contributor to Yelp’s datastore platform which has allowed Yelp to go from a primarily MySQL data tier to a Polyglot data tier including Elasticsearch, Cassandra, and Zookeeper. He loves pushing the edge of how Yelp uses Puppet to automate infrastructure and never met a problem he didn’t want to automate away. When not wrangling clusters of datastores, he enjoys building service discovery, reliable communication, fast deployment, and monitoring into Yelp’s SOA.
