About the talk

Lots of people have plans for a product that will eventually reach 100s of thousands of users or more but are unsure of how to design their tech to scale. The Cloud makes this job easier but some early decisions still need to be made to make your app last as long as possible before a major architecture change would be required. Luke Briner uses his experiences of working at PixelPin – a large-scale Authentication-as-a-Service provider – and Microsoft Azure to share the lessons he learned along the way and how you can give yourself the best chance of making good decisions early

About the talk

One of the key concepts behind DevOps is end-to-end ownership of services. If your stack is not there just yet, this move is hard to make. Your teams need to take on more responsibility, and they may not be equipped for it. After all, you cant just adopt the full DevOps Toolbelt overnight. Of all the possibilities of devops tooling, which one should you invest your time in? This talk covers a number of areas where you can make small, iterative improvements in tooling that don’t require big investment, yet nudge the whole org towards fuller ownership.

About the talk

Docker, Kubernetes, event bus, microservices, API gateway. So many unknown words and more important, unknown architecture. I’ve written a lot of microservices and found some best practices to develop scalable and maintainable apps. This is the definitive guide for building the Node microservices.

This talk is about Node.js microservices. The talk will go through the common terms and tools, such as Docker, Kubernates, Event Busses, API Gateways and so on and explain them to visitors. But the biggest focus of the talk is ,,what’s the best way to combine those tools” and write beautiful and scalable Node microservices. They should be small, independent and they should do just one function. The talk will contain tips that from my experience and it will have examples of the code and images (graphs) with the architecture. After this talk, the visitors are able to create good and scalable microservice architecture and deploy it. They’ll have the confidence to share the knowledge with the coworkers and will be able to convince lead developers in the company to try this architecture. I started to implement this in my current company and we’re not going back!

Spring Boot is a product from Spring, that provides many configuration defaults for a new Spring project, so that one can set up a project in minutes. However, this is only one of the many features of Spring Boot. One of its module also provides many important Non-Functional Requirements out-of-the-box: monitoring, metrics, exposing those over HTTP, etc. In this presentation, I’ll demo some of those, that will make DevOps more than a little happy.

About the talk

The engineering culture of a company might be a key to it’s success, yet as hyper growth kicks in it becomes hard to keep it while doubling the number of engineers every year. So the question becomes: is there a way to protect the culture, and if so, how? In this talk I will summarize my experiences of leading the Bootcamp at Emarsys. Every engineer who joins Emarsys spends the first few weeks in this team until they learn the tricks and practices that we think were essential to the success of the company.

About the talk

Getting sites really fast requires more than tools and techniques, but a complete rethink of how we approach building for the web. When we built our new product, we started out with some strong considerations and opinions to build a better product for our users. We opted for an approach of no-tracking, limited use of third parties as well as dependencies and aimed for the best performance we can achieve. This led to a fast and solid experience that not only benefits our users, but also greatly benefits ourselves. This talk is a guide and advice on what has worked well and hopefully most of all, an inspiration for how we can build for a better web.

Data processing paradigms are undergoing a paradigm shift as we move more and more towards real time processing. Emerging software models such as the SMACK stack are at the forefront of this change, focused on a pipeline processing model, but are also introducing new levels of operational complexity in running multiple complex distributed systems such as Spark, Kafka and Cassandra. Apache Mesos is a distributed system for running other distributed systems, often described as a distributed kernel. It’s in use at massive scale at some of the worlds largest companies like Mesos, Netflix, Uber and Yelp. DC/OS is an open source distribution of Mesos, which adds all the functionality to run Mesos in production across any substrate, both on-premise and in the cloud. In this talk, I’ll introduce both Mesos and DC/OS and talk about how they work under the hood, and what the benefits are of running these new kinds of systems for emerging cloud native workloads.

When projects do fail for reasons that are primary technical, the reason is often uncontrolled complexity. The complexity goes out of hand when the code lacks structure. In large software projects where many developers work on the same code base one of the biggest challenge is to get consistency in code, to create development patterns for common problems, so you can control the complexity and size of the system.

About the talk

Let’s see how do these technologies can affect us, developers.

This session starts with facts, establishing what a blockchain, smart contracts and other concepts are. Armed with theory, we will showcase a ‘smart contract’ application, built in Kotlin, with Corda (open source), then discuss applications, problems and consider implications of a contract being put “out there” (and what is “there”) You will walk out understanding what a ‘distributed ledger’ is, knowing what to get from Github. And maybe an idea of an application, who knows?

About the talk

This isn’t a talk about microservices, NO-SQL, Container solutions or hip new frameworks. This talk will show some of the standard Java APIs that are part of Java since version 5, 6, 7 or 8. All this features are very helpful to create maintainable and future-proof applications, regardless of whether JavaEE, Spring, JavaFX or any other framework is used. The talk will give an overview of some important standard concepts and APIs of Java like annotations, null values and concurrency. Based on an overview of this topics and some samples the talk will answer questions like:

• How can I create my own annotations?
• How can I create a plugin structure without using frameworks like OSGI?
• What’s the best way to handle NullPointerExceptions?
• How can I write concurrent code that is still maintainable?

About the talk

In this session we will NOT talk about how much Microsoft loves Linux or how much Azure loves Java. This session will focus on how an application written in Java using tools available for Java environment can survive inside Azure. Together we will take a look on how we can create a similar environment as you have on AWS or on-premises to run your Java applications. We will try to cover topics related to infrastructure, CI/CD pipelines, SaaS integration and specific solutions used together with Java applications (e.g. Kafka, Cassandra).

About the talk

Oh Java, my old, lousy and boiler plaited friend. For ages, trying anything new (which luckily wasn’t that frequent afterall) required starting a new project, followed by a Sandbox class and a public static void main method. Alternatively, a simple JUnit test was a nice entrypoint as well – if we were lucky enough to have some dependency management sorted out.
Thankfully, things have changed. Together with Java9, a REPL has been introduced, so that everybody can just run an up-to-date Java shell and try out new syntax, new APIs, new libraries. Now we can feel like Scala, Clojure, Ruby, JavaScript, PHP, call whatever language developers – finally there. In this talk I’ll walk through essential REPL examples, see how we can use JShell to try out new language features (like Java10 local-variable type inference, Java9 Streams enhancements), but foremost, we will use it to build a real-life web application. Expect meat-only talk without theory, diagrams, useless “javax.swing.*” application examples.

With Docker adoption on the rise in many organisations, it’s becoming increasingly challenging to manage multiple containerized environments across clusters and infrastructure providers.

Starting from the question of what do we use to manage our Kubernetes clusters in cloud or on-premise, we’ll look at a head-to-head comparison of major Container Orchestration and Management platforms in the enterprise and open-source world.

RedHat OpenShift Container Platform, Docker Enterprise, DC/OS, Rancher and Spinnaker and the main platforms which we’ll be taking a closer look at and I hope that this comparison will help make a more informed choice for a Container Management platform. Looking forward to discussing the above and possibly other options with you.

For those interested after the presentation, we could have a hands-on session with all of the above platforms, to get a real feeling of each one.
