Ignite Talk: How to Survive and Thrive in a Big Company

SpringOne Platform 2016 Speaker: Doug Sherman; Principal Engineer, DreamWorks DreamWorks Animation is a company that has historically thrived on taking advantage of cutting edge technologies and has more currently set its sights on further utilizing Microservices and the Cloud as part of its movie making process. This session will review the efforts that took place in both the initial phases which incorporated targeted parts of the Spring Framework, as well as more current efforts that leveraged Spring projects such as Spring Boot, Spring Data and Spring Cloud. Highlighted throughout the talk will be examples demonstrating the pros and cons of various approaches taken, including the social engineering aspects of changing a movie making culture to fully embrace what it means to adopt a Microservices platform.

Data Science Powered Apps for Internet of Things

SpringOne Platform 2016 Speaker: Chris Rawles; Data Scientist, Pivotal The Internet of Things (IoT) continues to provide value and hold promise for both the consumer and enterprise alike. To succeed, any IoT project must concern itself with (1) how to ingest data, (2) build actionable models, and (3) react in real-time. In this talk, Chris describes approaches to addressing these concerns through a deep-dive into an interactive demo centered around classification of human activities. See the guts of such applications and learn about the tools that will enable you to build an application like this yourself! These include: (1) collecting streaming smartphone data, (2) the process of training and building machine learning models in real-time, and (3) an application that scores real-time. For each of these he will cover the necessary components of the entire IoT stack of ingesting, storing, and processing big data - all in real-time using the open-source Pivotal Cloud Foundry and Big Data Suite.

Ignite Talk: Continuous Delivery: Why Everyone Should Do It

Cloud Native Security: Rotate, Repair, Repave

SpringOne Platform 2016 Speaker: Justin Smith; Director, Pivotal Enterprise software security traditionally resists change as a matter of unquestioned policy. Vulnerability is a function that changes with time. The probability of being exploited increases with the accumulation of long lived credentials and unpatched code. The question that must be asked is: how can a security strategy which resists change keep up with the pace of the modern threat landscape? This asymmetry in speed and adaptiveness only creates advantages for the attacker. What if the only what to increase security is to move as fast as possible? Continuously rotating credentials, patching systems, and rebuilding clusters to minimize windows of vulnerability decreases the threat profile in time and severity. This presentation will outline principles and practices of Cloud Native Security and how Cloud Foundry can be part of your strategy to increase velocity and security.

IoT in the Cloud: Build & Unleash the Value in your Renewable Energy System

Finance market prediction has always been one of the hottest topics in Data Science and Machine Learning. However, the prediction algorithm is just a small piece of the puzzle. Building a data stream pipeline that is constantly combining the latest price info with high volume historical data is extremely challenging using traditional platforms, requiring a lot of code and thinking about how to scale or move into the cloud. This session is going to walk-through the architecture and implementation details of an application built on top of open-source tools that demonstrate how to easily build a stock prediction solution with no source code - except a few lines of R and the web interface that will consume data through a RESTful endpoint, real-time. The solution leverages in-memory data grid technology for high-speed ingestion, combining streaming of real-time data and distributed processing for stock indicator algorithms.

Microservices: Organizing Large Teams for Rapid Delivery

SpringOne Platform 2016 Speakers: Patricia Anderson; Senior Consultant, Credera. Micah Blalock; Senior Architect, Credera. Jason Goth; Principal Architect, Credera. A microservice architecture is pattern that is most commonly associated with larger organizations where services and teams are organized around separate business capabilities. In a project our team recently completed, we used a microservice architecture to allow us to organize a large team to develop a large analytics platform at speeds that would not have been possible using a more typical service-oriented architecture. In this session, we discuss the organizational structure and communication and development strategies and tools to allow teams to work in parallel without drowning in process overhead and coordination costs.

Transforming the Monolith at 20M tph

SpringOne Platform 2016 Speaker: Nick Beenham; Senior Principal Engineer, Comcast Within the Enterprise Services Team at Comcast, we have a platform that handles x million transactions a day. Over the course of a year we transformed from large monolithic deployments with cycle times of anything from 90 days to a series of lean and agile teams with cycle times measured in hours. We achieved this through cultural and technological transformations. Our culture changed from one of individual siloed development to cross-functional teams embracing Agile methods, our technology changed from heavy application server platforms on bare metal to PaaS using Cloud Foundry, from disjointed and manual builds to continuous delivery. This is our story.

Bootiful Microservices in a Legacy Environment: Lessons Learned

SpringOne Platform 2016 Speaker: David Julia; Associate Director, Pivotal Building Microservices in a green field environment is amazing! But the realities of some of our largest and oldest institutions is that there is a lot of value in existing legacy systems. When you're building on top of legacy systems, there are many challenges that green field development does not even have to consider. Join me for a 30 minute session in which we look at some patterns that we have employed over the last 2 years of building Spring Boot based microservices in the context of legacy systems. I'll speak to tried and true strategies for creating "strangler applications", strategies for moving away from the database as an integration point, and how to start carving off bounded contexts for your new microservices. I'll also speak to a handful of pit-falls to be avoided as you make the journey to a bootiful microservice landscape.

Scaling Your Product Team While Staying Agile

SpringOne Platform 2016 Speaker: Dan Podsedly; VP & GM, Pivotal Tracker. Software companies large and small need to move fast, and that typically requires growing your product teams beyond the proverbial “two pizza” rule. Finding and keeping great people is tougher than ever these days, but there is much more to scaling a product organization than just hiring! In this talk, Dan will walk through the challenges and opportunities encountered as product organizations grow from beyond the single agile team, based on real world experiences of Pivotal Tracker, a popular agile project management tool that’s been around for 10 years, as well as other fast growing product teams at Pivotal. Topics discussed will include the importance of a strong culture, pair programming as a growth strategy, vertical vs horizontal team organization, the product manager role, how design fits into a product team at scale, and much more.

Emanuela Damiani - Be a designer in a startup world | Codemotion Milan 2015

Codemotion

Being a designer in a technology start-up can be stressful. When a new venture starts with a brilliant idea, it's up to you to guide them through a design process that turns a plan into a much loved product. You need to communicate with stakeholders, collaborate with developers, and solve problems, usually many times a day, just to turn that brilliant idea into something useful people actually need. This talk will share some practical ideas and processes I've developed and battle-tested with clients to make the design process as stress-free as possible.
