Hugs instead of Bugs: Dreaming of Quality Tools for Devs and Testers

I have a Dream that Testers extend their horizon and toolsets and not only test for functional correctness but make a step towards what developers need in order to fix critical issues. I am talking about architectural, scalability and performance metrics such as # of JS Files on a page, Page Size, # of SQL Statements, # of Log Messages Written. If Testers start to capture this information as well and share it with their bug description I am sure it will both increase the value of testers as well as reduce the total time it takes to fix problems.

Unlock your VMWare Investment with Pivotal Cloud Foundry (VMworld 2014)

Presented by Cornelia Davis - Platform Engineer, Cloud Foundry, Pivotal You might have heard that software is eating the world; in every industry enterprises are being challenged to bring software to their consumers faster, more frequently and with insanely great user experiences. Pivotal Cloud Foundry, the leading enterprise Platform as a Service (PaaS) that is powered by Cloud Foundry, is designed to remove friction from the traditional application lifecycle, from dev all the way through production. At the core it exposes application and services “dial tone”, rather than infrastructure “dial tone”, scoping a broad set of capabilities such as autoscaling, dynamic routing, logging, monitoring, health management, and more, around the application. Pivotal Cloud Foundry itself depends on the infrastructure “dial tone” that is brilliantly provided by vSphere or vCHS. In this session we’ll start with the industry drivers for PaaS, explain how it leverages your existing vSphere or vCHS investment, and then dive into the details of what Pivotal Cloud Foundry brings to the enterprise developer and operator. Light on slides and heavy on demo, you’ll come away with a solid understanding of how Pivotal CF can revolutionize they way your enterprise develops, delivers and manages software.

Cassandra and DataStax Enterprise on PCF

SpringOne Platform 2016 Speakers: Ben Lackey; Partner Architect, Datastax. Cornelia Davis; Sr. Director of Technology, Pivotal. DataStax Enterprise (DSE) is a distributed database built on Apache Cassandra with support for Spark, Solr and graph database. Bringing DSE support to the Pivotal Cloud Foundry application platform allows developers and operators to self-service provision DSE clusters and easily connect them to Spring Boot apps running in and managed by PCF. In this session we’ll start with the use cases for on-demand, dedicated DSE clusters, cover the solution design, and demo the system. The creation of on-demand clusters takes full advantage of BOSH 2.0 and we’ll go just a little bit under the covers to show you how these new BOSH features rock this use case. Finally, we’ll complete the story by looking at the support that Spring has for Cassandra.

How DataStax Enterprise and Azure Make Your Apps Scale from Day 1

DataStax

This document discusses how DataStax Enterprise (DSE) and Microsoft Azure can help applications scale from day one. It recommends starting with Cassandra for built-in replication, redundancy and scaling. Using DSE and Azure provides these features in the cloud. The document outlines how DSE can add more functionality like search and analytics while scaling across data centers. It provides a real example of how migrating an existing application to DSE and the cloud improved its performance, monitoring and ability to change over time.

DataStax

Platforms-as-a-service provide a fantastic application developer experience, enabling large scale zero downtime deployments in a repeatable and scalable way. But Data services are often left behind and require manual deployment and day 2 operations. The next evolution in PaaS provides a range of managed services such as DataStax Cassandra for developers to quickly utilise in their Cloud Native Applications. This talk describes the approach and challenges of building managed services such as DataStax Enterprise Cassandra with automated lifecycle management using BOSH & Pivotal Cloud Foundry including a detailed discussion of the ease of Day 2 operations such as software upgrades and backups that is supported in the offering. The presentation includes a demonstration on the use of BOSH and Pivotal Cloud Foundry to build a managed DataStax Enterprise Cassandra service that allows operators to provide a comprehensive Cassandra offering that deploys production ready clusters. About the Speakers Ben Lackey Partner Architect, DataStax I work in the Cloud Strategy group at DataStax where I concentrate on improving the integration between DataStax Enterprise and cloud platforms including Azure, GCP and Pivotal. Damian O'connor Product Manager, Pivotal I'm a Technical Product Manager working with Pivotal's Cloud Services team and based out of our Dublin office. My role is to provide Pivotal Cloud Foundry customers with an industry leading Cassandra service running on the Pivotal Cloud Native platform.

The primary goals of this session are to: Do a deep dive into the CF architecture via animated slides illustrating push, stage, deploy, scale, and health management. Also do a brief dive into BOSH, including why BOSH, what it is, and animations of how it works. It’s not an operations focused workshop, so we keep the treatment light. Discuss the value adds to CF BOSH OSS that Pivotal brings through the Pivotal Ops Manager product and our associated ecosystem of data and mobile services. Quickly prove that I can push an app to a Pivotal CF environment running on vCHS in the same exact way I can push an app to PWS. Pivotal Cloud Platform Roadshow is coming to a city near you!

Cassandra vs. Redis

Tim Lossen

This document compares Cassandra and Redis for use as a backend for a Facebook game with 1 million daily users and 10 million total users. Redis was chosen over Cassandra due to its simpler architecture, higher write throughput, and ability to meet the capacity and performance requirements using a single node. The Redis master handled all reads and writes, with a slave for failover. User data was stored in Redis hashes to turn it into a "document DB" and allow for atomic operations on parts of the data.

Using Pivotal Cloud Foundry with Google’s BigQuery and Cloud Vision API

Breaking the Monolith

How do you grapple with a legacy portfolio? What strategies do you employ to get an application to cloud native? How do you grapple with a legacy portfolio? What strategies do you employ to get an application to cloud native? This talk will cover tools, process and techniques for decomposing monolithic applications to Cloud Native applications running on Pivotal Cloud Foundry (PCF). The webinar will build on ideas from seminal works in this area: Working Effectively With Legacy Code and The Mikado Method. We will begin with an overview of the technology constraints of porting existing applications to the cloud, sharing approaches to migrate applications to PCF. Architects & Developers will come away from this webinar with prescriptive replatforming and decomposition techniques. These techniques offer a scientific approach for an application migration funnel and how to implement patterns like Anti-Corruption Layer, Strangler, Backends For Frontend, Seams etc., plus recipes and tools to refactor and replatform enterprise apps to the cloud. Go beyond the 12 factors and see WHY Cloud Foundry is the best place to run any app - cloud native or non-cloud native.
