Abstract

The systemd project and some others have been adopting the Varlink IPC system recently, in places traditionally reserved for D-Bus. In this talk I'd like to explain why Varlink matters, and is a major step forward from D-Bus for almost all areas of Linux OSes. I'll talk about patterns, lifecyles, tracing, parallelism, security, and a lot more.
