Otvoritev dogodka Java & Cloud

Urban Zaletel
SIOUG

Tudi prejšnje leto smo imeli virtualno konferenco, ki se je odvijala čez cel teden, zato smo jo poimenovali MakeIT Week. Letos smo se odločili za drugačen format. Namesto dveh dni z več vzporednimi predavanji, bomo imeli več enodnevnih ali dvodnevnih dogodkov. Vsi ti dogodki bodo v jeseni, zato ime MakeIT Autumn.

09:05 - 09:50

Releasing at the speed of light

Andres Almiray
Oracle

Your project has reached that stage when it’s a good idea to post binaries, but new questions appear such as where should they be posted? How do make it easier for users to install and discover your binaries? Where should releases be announced? Most importantly, can answers to these question be automated? Enter JReleaser, a tool that provides answers to these questions and more. JReleaser may be used to create GiHub/GitLab/Gitea releases and publish binaries that can be consumed from different distribution channels such as Homebrew, Snap, Scoop, and more. Once published, the release cab be automatically announced on Twitter, Slack, Gitter, Discord, and other communication channels.

Come to this session to learn how JReleaser can help you release, publish, and announce binaries with ease, and fast!

On the Bleeding Edge of OpenTelemetry

Philipp Krenn
Elastic

Tracing and telemetry are popular topics right now, but the development is so quick that it also confuses:

  • Starting with OpenTracing, then W3C Trace-Context, and now OpenTelemetry there are plenty of standards, but what do or don't they cover?

  • How do the Cloud Native Computing Foundation (CNCF) and its projects like Jaeger play into that.

  • Where is OpenTelemetry headed, and how can projects tie into it?

This talk gives an overview of standards, projects, and how they all tie together.

11:50 - 12:35

Zero-downtime deployment on Kubernetes with Hazelcast

Nicolas Fränkel
Hazelcast

Kubernetes allows a lot. After discovering its features, it’s easy to think it can magically transform your application deployment process into a painless no-event. For Hello World applications, that is the case. Unfortunately, not many of us do deploy such applications day-to-day because we need to handle state. Though it would be much easier to have stateless apps, and despite our best efforts in this direction, state is found in (at least) two places: sessions and databases.

You need to think keeping the state while stopping and starting application nodes. In this talk, I’ll demo how to update a Spring Boot app deployed on a Kubernetes cluster with a non-trivial database schema change with the help of Hazelcast, while keeping the service up during the entire update process.

Managed Kafka

Pete Muir
Red Hat

Many modern video games are constantly evolving post-release. New maps, game modes, and game balancing adjustments are rolled out, often on a weekly basis. This continuous iteration to improve player engagement and satisfaction requires data-driven decision-making based on events and telemetry captured during gameplay, and from community forums and discussions.

In this session you will learn how Red Hat OpenShift Streams for Apache Kafka and Kafka Streams can be used to analyze real-time events and telemetry reported by a game server. Specifically, you’ll learn how to:

  • Provision Kafka clusters on OpenShift Streams

  • Develop a Javaapplication that uses Kafka Streams and Quarkus to process event data.

  • Deploy the application locally, or on OpenShift and connect it to your OpenShift Streams for Apache Kafka Cluster.


Author's biography

Oracle’s Enterprise Container Management Platform: Verrazzano

David Cabelus
Oracle

Verrazzano is Oracle's an end-to-end Enterprise Container Platform for hosting either cloud-native as traditional applications in multi-cloud and hybrid environments. It is based on components which are well known in the Open Source community and a lot of the tools are either a CNCF incubated or even graduated project. This enables customers to lift and shift their current standard applications to a Cloud Native platform, and also leaves room for developing Cloud Native applications. It supports Multi Cloud, Dev and GitOps practices, and is prepared for landing either Oracle products such as WebLogic, Coherence and Helidon or Open Source technology Verrazzano consist of the folowing components: Containers (Docker) Orchestration (Kubernetes) Kubernetes Management(Rancher) Identity & Access Management(Keycloak) Service Routing (Istio) Logging and tracing (ELK, Jaeger).

Leveraging Multi-Cloud Clusters in Real-World Scenarios

Adrienne Tacke
MongoDB

Public, Private, Hybrid...Multi-Cloud?

As the cloud development options and architectures continue to evolve, we've finally found ourselves at the next new thing: Multi-Cloud. What is it? Do we really need it? How would you take advantage of a multi-cloud solution?

In this talk, I'd like to describe a few real-world use cases where a multi-cloud solution is currently in production, specifically when it comes to data. A demo on how to setup a multi-cloud cluster will also be shown.

The audience will leave with a more confident understanding of real-world, multi-cloud use cases and see how to create their own!


Author's biography

Currently a Senior Developer Advocate for MongoDB, Adrienne Tacke is also a Filipina software engineer, speaker, published author of the book Coding for Kids: Python, and a LinkedIn Learning instructor who specializes in Cloud Development courses. Perhaps most important, however, is that she spends way too much money on desserts and ungodly amounts of time playing Age of Empires II.

In this session, we'll find what developers writing in JVM languages need to know to start working with Apache Spark and also

  1. We'll write an example business-like pipeline

  2. We'll look at different Spark APIs

  3. We'll define differences between them

As a result, the audience will learn how to use Spark in several different ways to query and analyze data and will be ready to build a simple data pipeline with Spark.

Security in the cloud

Krzysztof Pawlowski
Merapar Technologies

Cloud computing changed the way we develop software. We are not dependant on the infrastucture / IT teams any more. We, as the developers, are empowered to setup the infrastructure on our own, which in most cases helps us deliver faster. However, with great power comes great responsibility. How often do we think about the security thread when implementing our solutions? Are we aware a simple mistake when configuring access policies can have a huge consequences? During the presentation I will present the biggest security breaches in the cloud solutions known from the news and tell you how they could be avoided.


Author's biography

Cloud Microservices for the next Billion users

Tejas Chopra
Netflix, Inc.

The food wastage in India is 70 tonnes per year, and there is mismanagement at several layers. Approximately 20-30% of the wastage happens in the last mile, between wholesale traders, and retail mom-and-pop stores. Is there something we can do about food wastage?

This was the problem statement I attempted to solve as a first engineering hire at a startup. Our customers were 12.8 million retail owners that deal in FMCG (Fast-moving consumer goods, such as food grains, tooth paste, etc.). The goal was to develop a platform for retail traders (mom and pop shop owners / small and medium business owners) to buy FMCG products from wholesale traders using an Android app.

We were attacking a deeply entrenched business practice to help solve a societal goal. For a section of the population which is not very well versed with smartphones and technology, the user experience had to be designed from the ground up to be multi-lingual, fungible, unstructured, and relevant. In this talk, I cover how we went about iterating the solution from a simple SMS based system to a full fledged app backed by micro-services. Having a micro-service architecture provided us the agility to experiment and iterate quickly, and we were able to push out changes much faster, and help solve wastage problems even sooner.

I will discuss the several problems we faced in this segment with regards to unstructured data, and how our data models had to adapt. We used cloud services extensively, so I will also cover how different pieces came together in a cogent form to build better experience for our customers.

After having worked in bigger companies on software projects that scale to millions of devices, this was a unique challenge for me, and something I am very proud of. I would like to share my experience in building empathetic software for the masses.
