Elevating Tactical DDD Patterns Through Object CalisthenicsDorra BARTAGUIZ
After immersing yourself in the blue book and its red counterpart, attending DDD-focused conferences, and applying tactical patterns, you're left with a crucial question: How do I ensure my design is effective? Tactical patterns within Domain-Driven Design (DDD) serve as guiding principles for creating clear and manageable domain models. However, achieving success with these patterns requires additional guidance. Interestingly, we've observed that a set of constraints initially designed for training purposes remarkably aligns with effective pattern implementation, offering a more ‘mechanical’ approach. Let's explore together how Object Calisthenics can elevate the design of your tactical DDD patterns, offering concrete help for those venturing into DDD for the first time!

Neuro-symbolic is not enough, we need neuro-*semantic*Frank van Harmelen
Neuro-symbolic (NeSy) AI is on the rise. However, simply machine learning on just any symbolic structure is not sufficient to really harvest the gains of NeSy. These will only be gained when the symbolic structures have an actual semantics. I give an operational definition of semantics as “predictable inference”.
All of this illustrated with link prediction over knowledge graphs, but the argument is general.
GDG Cloud Southlake #33: Boule & Rebala: Effective AppSec in SDLC using Deplo...James Anderson
Effective Application Security in Software Delivery lifecycle using Deployment Firewall and DBOM
The modern software delivery process (or the CI/CD process) includes many tools, distributed teams, open-source code, and cloud platforms. Constant focus on speed to release software to market, along with the traditional slow and manual security checks has caused gaps in continuous security as an important piece in the software supply chain. Today organizations feel more susceptible to external and internal cyber threats due to the vast attack surface in their applications supply chain and the lack of end-to-end governance and risk management.
The software team must secure its software delivery process to avoid vulnerability and security breaches. This needs to be achieved with existing tool chains and without extensive rework of the delivery processes. This talk will present strategies and techniques for providing visibility into the true risk of the existing vulnerabilities, preventing the introduction of security issues in the software, resolving vulnerabilities in production environments quickly, and capturing the deployment bill of materials (DBOM).
Speakers:
Bob Boule
Robert Boule is a technology enthusiast with PASSION for technology and making things work along with a knack for helping others understand how things work. He comes with around 20 years of solution engineering experience in application security, software continuous delivery, and SaaS platforms. He is known for his dynamic presentations in CI/CD and application security integrated in software delivery lifecycle.
Gopinath Rebala
Gopinath Rebala is the CTO of OpsMx, where he has overall responsibility for the machine learning and data processing architectures for Secure Software Delivery. Gopi also has a strong connection with our customers, leading design and architecture for strategic implementations. Gopi is a frequent speaker and well-known leader in continuous delivery and integrating security into software delivery.

Kubernetes & AI - Beauty and the Beast !?! @KCD Istanbul 2024Tobias Schneck
As AI technology is pushing into IT I was wondering myself, as an “infrastructure container kubernetes guy”, how get this fancy AI technology get managed from an infrastructure operational view? Is it possible to apply our lovely cloud native principals as well? What benefit’s both technologies could bring to each other?
Let me take this questions and provide you a short journey through existing deployment models and use cases for AI software. On practical examples, we discuss what cloud/on-premise strategy we may need for applying it to our own infrastructure to get it to work from an enterprise perspective. I want to give an overview about infrastructure requirements and technologies, what could be beneficial or limiting your AI use cases in an enterprise environment. An interactive Demo will give you some insides, what approaches I got already working for real.

Any purchase decisions customer make should be made based on currently available technology.
- Cloud Computing seems to be everywhere now in the IT press - where did the clouds come from? 11 yrs ago we asked "why can't enterprise software be more like amazon.com?". Why do I have to buy, install and manage hardware and software. Why can't we connect to a mass-scale Internet platform to handle that, and we use it to run our business. That was the vision 11 years ago which we pioneered and evangelised.
- Salesforce has been a pioneer in the industry and over that time we've grown to 1bn+ revenues to prove the market. 72,500 global customers. Proving the market for Enterprise Cloud Computing
- What's the immediate future look like? For every CIO - cloud is #1 technology imperative (ranked by gartner). From CIOs that we're speaking to, the question for them is how to they build a transition plan. They want to use Cloud Computing to innovate, create new applications that make them more competitive, and help them get closer to their customers. Surprisingly though - Gartner estimate that in 2 years, 1 in 5 organisations will have made that transition and own on IT assets.

Salesforce.com has built the functionality of Cloud 2 into our applications and our platform.Our applications include our Sales Cloud 2 application for managing all your sales information; our Service Cloud 2 application for managing customers service and support; our Chatter collaboration application for collaborating across the enterprise, and our Force.com platform for building your own custom cloud applications.All of these applications run on our Force.com platform that lets you build and customize apps 5X faster and half the cost of traditional platforms. Force.com includes all the enterprise components you need to build enterprise apps, plus the collaboration components to build Cloud 2 apps.And of course, it all runs on our trusted cloud infrastructure, the most secure, reliable and high performing infrastructure in the industry.

- We're also seeing the shift in devices. Over the next 10 years, next generation devices like the iPad are going to transform how we access the internet. The desktop metaphor is dying. Today in the UK more than 50% of Mobile Internet traffic is on Facebook.
- Once again, we're seeing the Consumer Web shaping our expections of Business software.
- For the last 10 years, the proposition of Cloud Computing has been Low Cost, Fast to deploy and Easy to use
- Over the next 10 years, we think Cloud Computing is going to shift to focus on these 3 areas: Make applications and people more collaborative. Support the New Devices so that we can access information from any source on any device. And get updates in real-time on what's important to you - the same way that Facebook brings insights to you in Real Time
- We think these things coming together: Cloud Computing, The Influence of the Social Web, and the shift in smart phones, all working together, are where the industry is heading. Our first move into this space is our new service called Chatter. It'll give organisations for the first time a way to collaborate across their business in real time, and allow people to get real-time updates not just from people, but get alerts on documents they are following, and from information in salesforce and other applications. So for example, as a Sales manager, i can follow the key deals for this month and get alerts in my newsfeed as they progess.
