Paul Campbell — A Modern Approach to Third-Party Embedded Widgets (Turing Fes...Turing Fest
Embeddable widgets have proliferated the web since JavaScript was born in the mid-nineties, and even before. Since the days of CGI counters, we have come a long way, with companies like Intercom and Stripe providing drop-in code to render components that provide rich and interactive experiences within customers’ existing sites.
At Tito, we have provided an embeddable widget since early on. When it came to rewriting it, we wanted to keep the things that made it great: a simple drop-in native-like web component that was easy to customise with CSS and integrate with JavaScript hooks. Our secondary goals were higher level. We wanted an easy to use codebase, and a widget that could be the primary code that we used on our own checkout pages. We also wanted to hook in to the modern ecosystem of JavaScript package managers, bundlers and modules.
This talk will explore the process of upgrading an older widget to a modern codebase and framework, some of the advantages to be gained, and some of the challenges faced.

Application Darwinism: Why Most Enterprise Apps Will Move to the Cloud (SVC20...Amazon Web Services
(Presented by Skytap) Complex multi-tier enterprise applications that have been under development for decades assume reliable hardware and typically have dependencies on underlying operating systems, hardware configurations, and network topologies. The boundary between one application or service and another is often fuzzy, with many interdependencies. These traits make some enterprise applications difficult to refactor and move to a public cloud. Even the teams that manage these applications can be unfamiliar with cloud terminology and concepts. In this session for enterprise IT architects and developers, Brad Schick, CTO of Skytap and Skytap customers Fulcrum, DataXu and F5 will share their insights into why the evolution of enterprise applications will lead to hybrid applications that opportunistically take advantage of cloud-based services. Brad will then demonstrate Skytap Cloud with Amazon Web Services and discuss how enterprises can easily achieve this integration today for application development and testing.
Improving Availability & Lowering Costs with Auto Scaling & Amazon EC2 (CPN20...Amazon Web Services
Running your Amazon EC2 instances in Auto Scaling groups allows you to improve your application's availability right out of the box. Auto Scaling replaces impaired or unhealthy instances automatically to maintain your desired number of instances (even if that number is one). You can also use Auto Scaling to automate the provisioning of new instances and software configurations as well as to track of usage and costs by app, project, or cost center. Of course, you can also use Auto Scaling to adjust capacity as needed - on demand, on a schedule, or dynamically based on demand. In this session, we show you a few of the tools you can use to enable Auto Scaling for the applications you run on Amazon EC2. We also share tips and tricks we've picked up from customers such as Netflix, Adobe, Nokia, and Amazon.com about managing capacity, balancing performance against cost, and optimizing availability.

Con l'approccio tradizionale al mondo IT per molti anni è stato difficile implementare tecniche di DevOps, che finora spesso hanno previsto attività manuali portando di tanto in tanto a dei downtime degli applicativi interrompendo l'operatività dell'utente. Con l'avvento del cloud, le tecniche di DevOps sono ormai a portata di tutti a basso costo per qualsiasi genere di workload, garantendo maggiore affidabilità del sistema e risultando in dei significativi miglioramenti della business continuity.
AWS mette a disposizione AWS OpsWork come strumento di Configuration Management che mira ad automatizzare e semplificare la gestione e i deployment delle istanze EC2 per mezzo di workload Chef e Puppet.
Scopri come sfruttare AWS OpsWork a garanzia e affidabilità del tuo applicativo installato su Instanze EC2.
Microsoft Active Directory su AWS per supportare i tuoi Windows WorkloadsAmazon Web Services
Vuoi conoscere le opzioni per eseguire Microsoft Active Directory su AWS? Quando si spostano carichi di lavoro Microsoft in AWS, è importante considerare come distribuire Microsoft Active Directory per supportare la gestione, l'autenticazione e l'autorizzazione dei criteri di gruppo. In questa sessione, discuteremo le opzioni per la distribuzione di Microsoft Active Directory su AWS, incluso AWS Directory Service per Microsoft Active Directory e la distribuzione di Active Directory su Windows su Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (Amazon EC2). Trattiamo argomenti quali l'integrazione del tuo ambiente Microsoft Active Directory locale nel cloud e l'utilizzo di applicazioni SaaS, come Office 365, con AWS Single Sign-On.
Dal riconoscimento facciale al riconoscimento di frodi o difetti di fabbricazione, l'analisi di immagini e video che sfruttano tecniche di intelligenza artificiale, si stanno evolvendo e raffinando a ritmi elevati. In questo webinar esploreremo le possibilità messe a disposizione dai servizi AWS per applicare lo stato dell'arte delle tecniche di computer vision a scenari reali.
Amazon Web Services e VMware organizzano un evento virtuale gratuito il prossimo mercoledì 14 Ottobre dalle 12:00 alle 13:00 dedicato a VMware Cloud ™ on AWS, il servizio on demand che consente di eseguire applicazioni in ambienti cloud basati su VMware vSphere® e di accedere ad una vasta gamma di servizi AWS, sfruttando a pieno le potenzialità del cloud AWS e tutelando gli investimenti VMware esistenti.
Molte organizzazioni sfruttano i vantaggi del cloud migrando i propri carichi di lavoro Oracle e assicurandosi notevoli vantaggi in termini di agilità ed efficienza dei costi.
La migrazione di questi carichi di lavoro, può creare complessità durante la modernizzazione e il refactoring delle applicazioni e a questo si possono aggiungere rischi di prestazione che possono essere introdotti quando si spostano le applicazioni dai data center locali.
Crea la tua prima serverless ledger-based app con QLDB e NodeJSAmazon Web Services
Molte aziende oggi, costruiscono applicazioni con funzionalità di tipo ledger ad esempio per verificare lo storico di accrediti o addebiti nelle transazioni bancarie o ancora per tenere traccia del flusso supply chain dei propri prodotti.
Alla base di queste soluzioni ci sono i database ledger che permettono di avere un log delle transazioni trasparente, immutabile e crittograficamente verificabile, ma sono strumenti complessi e onerosi da gestire.
Amazon QLDB elimina la necessità di costruire sistemi personalizzati e complessi fornendo un database ledger serverless completamente gestito.
In questa sessione scopriremo come realizzare un'applicazione serverless completa che utilizzi le funzionalità di QLDB.
Con l’ascesa delle architetture di microservizi e delle ricche applicazioni mobili e Web, le API sono più importanti che mai per offrire agli utenti finali una user experience eccezionale. In questa sessione impareremo come affrontare le moderne sfide di progettazione delle API con GraphQL, un linguaggio di query API open source utilizzato da Facebook, Amazon e altro e come utilizzare AWS AppSync, un servizio GraphQL serverless gestito su AWS. Approfondiremo diversi scenari, comprendendo come AppSync può aiutare a risolvere questi casi d’uso creando API moderne con funzionalità di aggiornamento dati in tempo reale e offline.
Inoltre, impareremo come Sky Italia utilizza AWS AppSync per fornire aggiornamenti sportivi in tempo reale agli utenti del proprio portale web.
Database Oracle e VMware Cloud™ on AWS: i miti da sfatareAmazon Web Services
Molte organizzazioni sfruttano i vantaggi del cloud migrando i propri carichi di lavoro Oracle e assicurandosi notevoli vantaggi in termini di agilità ed efficienza dei costi.
La migrazione di questi carichi di lavoro, può creare complessità durante la modernizzazione e il refactoring delle applicazioni e a questo si possono aggiungere rischi di prestazione che possono essere introdotti quando si spostano le applicazioni dai data center locali.
In queste slide, gli esperti AWS e VMware presentano semplici e pratici accorgimenti per facilitare e semplificare la migrazione dei carichi di lavoro Oracle accelerando la trasformazione verso il cloud, approfondiranno l’architettura e dimostreranno come sfruttare a pieno le potenzialità di VMware Cloud ™ on AWS.
Amazon Elastic Container Service (Amazon ECS) è un servizio di gestione dei container altamente scalabile, che semplifica la gestione dei contenitori Docker attraverso un layer di orchestrazione per il controllo del deployment e del relativo lifecycle. In questa sessione presenteremo le principali caratteristiche del servizio, le architetture di riferimento per i differenti carichi di lavoro e i semplici passi necessari per poter velocemente migrare uno o più dei tuo container.

"Impact of front-end architecture on development cost", Viktor TurskyiFwdays
I have heard many times that architecture is not important for the front-end. Also, many times I have seen how developers implement features on the front-end just following the standard rules for a framework and think that this is enough to successfully launch the project, and then the project fails. How to prevent this and what approach to choose? I have launched dozens of complex projects and during the talk we will analyze which approaches have worked for me and which have not.
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.

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.
Let's dive deeper into the world of ODC! Ricardo Alves (OutSystems) will join us to tell all about the new Data Fabric. After that, Sezen de Bruijn (OutSystems) will get into the details on how to best design a sturdy architecture within ODC.
