Keynote: Cloud Native Is About Culture, Not Containers

Featuring Holly Cummins

As a developer in IBM's Cloud Garage, Holly works with customers who are trying to shift their businesses to the cloud, and to cloud native in particular. Their dream is more effort higher up the value chain, more innovation, and greater adaptability. What they really want is to beat their...

The Bumpy Road Towards Containerised Microservices: Why Early Adoption Meant It Took Longer For Us To Get There

Featuring Nicky Wrightson

How you run your applications is always evolving - Monoliths to microservices, migration to the cloud, containerisation, improved orchestration. Containers have become synonymous with microservices but they present a new set of challenges.

In this talk Nicky will share some of her experiences and...

Featuring Ian Cooper

True Tales of Terraform

Featuring Graham Lyons

What is it like to use Terraform every day? What horrors might be uncovered should you choose to use it? And what dizzying pleasures await the brave engineer. Graham will explore some of Terraform's best features and more ugly warts, gathered from using it in production for more than a year....

Delivering Quality at Speed With Gitops

Featuring Brice Fernandes

In this talk, Brice will go through using Gitops to improve delivery speed and quality, with real examples of teams that have transformed their software delivery. We’ll describe the principles of Gitops as well as show how Weaveworks implement Gitops internally for our own production systems....

Migrating To Microservice Databases: From Relational Monolith To Distributed Data

Featuring Edson Yanaga

In a Microservices architecture with multiple moving parts, you can’t allow that a single complement downtime breaks down the entire system. Dealing with stateless code is easy, but it gets much harder when you have to deal with persistent state. In this scenario, zero downtime migrations are...

Coordinate Cloud-Native Components Using Distributed State Machines

Featuring Bernd Rücker

Microservices or serverless functions decompose logic into small or even tiny pieces. But how can you implement complex end-to-end use cases (e.g. a customer order) when you have a bunch of nicely decoupled components (e.g. checkout, payment & shipping)? How can you handle the state of long...

Keynote: Deprecating Simplicity

Featuring Casey Rosenthal

When engineering teams take on a new project, they often optimize for performance, availability, or fault tolerance. More experienced teams can optimize for these properties simultaneously. Now add an additional property: feature velocity. Mental models of architecture can help you understand the...
