Mike Demmer talks about the major changes that Slack has made to the service architecture to meet the needs for larger and larger enterprise customers. Demmer presents 3 of these changes: decomposition of the real-time message service, client-side lazy loading via edge caching, and scaling the primary data storage tier with fine-grained horizontal sharding using Vitess.
