This document provides tips to avoid common engineering mistakes when building an MVP. It recommends designing for 10x scale but not more, following the rule of three when generalizing, and evaluating testing strategies holistically. It also stresses the importance of focusing on creating differentiated value over simply speed of creation.

FC-Compiler™ is a (free) Calculus-level Compiler that simplifies Tweaking parameters in ones math model. The FortranCalculus (FC) language is for math modeling, simulation, and optimization. FC is based on Automatic Differentiation that simplifies computer code to an absolute minimum; i.e., a mathematical model, constraints, and the objective (function) definition. Minimizing the amount of code allows the user to concentrate on the science or engineering problem at hand and not on the (numerical) process requirements to achieve an optimum solution. Download at http://goal-driven.net/apps/fc-compiler.html FC-Compiler™ App has many (50+) example problems with output (see 'Demos' on main menu) for viewing and getting ideas on solving your own problems. These are improved productivity examples do to using Calculus-level Problem-Solving. Please share this Calculus Problem-Solving tool with your friends. Thanks!

The talk is the story of a Clever's journey to effectively use a container orchestration system (ECS) and a walk through decisions to create a simple and effective deployment pipeline. We will go through various aspects of building application deployment pipelines for microservices. Clever is an education technology company and we do hundreds of deployments of tens of thousands of containers every week to serve over 50% of K-12 public and private school districts in the US.

Monorepos with the open source toolkit Nx So..you might not necessarily be a large team and distributed across the globe. But do you have multiple different apps across your company, like backend & frontend maybe, that need to integrate with each other? Or do you have a library of reusable UI components shared with all your teams? Or maybe you don’t because publishing is hard, versioning even more and then there’s backward compatibility! In this talk, I’m showing you how big companies like Google, Facebook and Microsoft solve this, why a monorepo might be a good choice and how the open source toolkit Nx, in particular, can help you with that.

The goal of Continuous Delivery is, briefly, to get features into your users' or customers' hands as quickly and confidently as possible. In order to succeed, Development and Operations teams need to align and come up with both working and deployable software in short, regular intervals. Chef, Puppet, Ansible & Co. enable teams to code up application runtime environments, but alone do not allow for building quality into their processes. In this presentation I will show how you can apply the "Red, Green, Refactor Cycle" of Test-Driven Development and combine it with your configuration management or orchestration tool of choice in order to come up with better infrastructure that can automatically be tested using Ansible, Test Kitchen, Docker, Serverspec and RSpec.

Polyglot and Poly-paradigm Programming for Better Agility

Is it possible to write a program that significantly changes its behaviour during the runtime without changing its source code? Have you ever wondered about native TypeScript support in Node.js? Or whether it is possible to write JavaScript code that syntactically feels a lot different but is still valid? The answers to these and a lot of other questions will be discussed in detail in this talk. From the basics of metaprogramming theory to practical examples of its application in enterprise projects. We are going to talk about metalinguistic abstractions, domain-specific languages, and how they can help us solve software engineering problems. We will take a look at how popular frameworks and libraries like React.js, Express.js, Nest.js and Lodash use metaprogramming to develop systems that are used worldwide. Moreover, we will learn how to think in terms of metaprograms and broaden our outlook towards the great world of metasystems.

You can only claim you know Spring if you fully understand the Proxy design pattern, and how the framework uses it to do its magic. Join this live-coding session to explore 6 ways of intercepting method calls that you can use to cast your own spells and dramatically simplify your codebase. Grab a strong coffee and prepare yourself for a whirlwind of live-coding, interwoven with deep theoretical concepts and implementation details that you have to master if you are using the Spring Framework. During this session, Victor will share one of the best parts of his Design Patterns training, applied to Spring. You'll hear about the Decorator pattern plus 2 ways to wire it with Spring, bare-hands interface proxies, concrete classes proxies, @Aspect applied to custom annotations, plus some of the most common standard off-the-shelf Spring aspects. Come and learn from a hands-on practitioner real-world best practices of using Aspects, design hints, under-the-hood implementation details, debugging tips, performance impact of aspects, all in an interactive, entertaining and extremely dynamic session. - Talk held at JPoint 2019, Moscow

Let’s assume you’ve already had every *Docker 101 tutorial* for breakfast. You’re now ready to take that brilliantly crafted application into production. But wait… first you need to test your container-based microservices architecture. What does the whole DevOps workflow look like? What about performance and security? And last but not least; how the hell do I run my microservices in production, and will it scale? Let Daniël guide you through the wonderful world of container-based development and running microservice architectures at scale. By attending the talk, you’ll gain insight into how to bootstrap and dive straight into learning what DevOps workflow should look like when using containers.
