S12 E27: The Real-Time Scaling Tax: Why High-Volume WebSockets Kill Monolithic Performance and How AnyCable Decoupled the Real-Time Layer with Irina Nazarova, CEO of Evil Martians

Irina Nazarova grew up in Russia, and has lived in Portugal, Turkey, and now, San Francisco. She got a computer science degree, but felt like an imposter in the dev world. She went on to get an economics degree, and went to work for JP Morgan. Feeling little reward from her work, she read the lean startup and jumped out to build her own, and eventually joined Evil Martians. Outside of tech, she is a person who loves hiking, traveling, and old school film and photography. She enjoys working with old film, where there is high touch, and you have a limited number of takes. Irina is the CEO of Evil Martians, a well known design and engineering consultancy. During the time of the company, she and the team noticed that websocket solutions don't guarantee delivery. They decided to build a new solution, one that does guarantee delivery, through automatic recovery of messages during connection issues. This is the creation story of AnyCable by Evil Martians.
