One of my favorite talks is by Rick Reed about scaling Erlang at WhatsApp. What an absolute savage. He flies through an articulate and in-depth curriculum on system performance and bottleneck mitigation.

The talk is called "That's 'Billion' with a 'B'" and makes for a great lunchtime watch: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c12cYAUTXXs
