Comcast Codebig: An API Platform & Program [my speech at the AADI conference]Comcast
[This is the slide for my speech at the AADI conference]
Driving innovation throughout a large technology-driven veteran company in a competitive industry is no easy task. Comcast has many engineering groups with a lot of APIs, providers and developers – more than 1500, in fact. This creates a bit of a scattering effect with regard to our technology. Despite this, we’ve been focused on enhancing and/or replacing legacy systems and designs (SOAP, one-off Web interfaces/systems) and shifting our services model to one that is more mobile/device centric. Major hurdles have included slow integration/syndication across consumer and service provider services, and the lack of a consistent security model allowing controlled data sharing and system integration.
Comcast’s effort to overcome these challenges and build a developer & provider community and network from its current infrastructure state – replete with duplicate APIs and effort in some cases – is called CodeBig. Through this unified combination of best-in-class technology and best practices, CodeBig aims to overcome our challenges of API scattering/duplication, integration/security models and legacy Web interfaces, and ultimately foster innovations and growth/deployment quickly and efficiently.
Designing API Platforms that Developers Love - New York Life Build Blue May 2017Deepak Nadig
Consumers today are increasingly using a variety of applications across web, mobile, cars and devices to find information and/or to perform their tasks. In addition, Consumers are also using multiple modes of interactions - including touch and voice - with these applications. To deliver these variety of applications and natural interaction paradigms, companies need to develop API and service platforms that can be used by their internal developers as well as external developers and partners. In order to survive and be competitive, companies need to move quickly to deliver such platforms and features. It's Not the Big that Eat the Small... It's the FAST that Eat the Slow!
Successful platforms, from companies such as eBay, PayPal, Amazon and Intuit, embody attributes such as delightful integration experience, flexibility and extensibility along with implicit developer expectations - security, quality, response time and availability.
This talk will share a recipe for building and delivering platforms that developers love - principles, best practices and approaches - across architecture, organizational and cultural - used in companies such as eBay, PayPal and Intuit.
Our talk covers the migration of the Twitter architecture from primarily Ruby on Rails (RoR) to a JVM-based SOA system with emphasis on high performance, scalability, and resilience to failure. General lessons include the advantages of asynchronous, real-time architectures over synchronous, process / thread-oriented systems, as well as caching and data store patterns.
The three common software architecture styles commonly used in distributed systems and XML Web Services are compared and contrasted. In particular, the key differences between traditional SOAP and REST styles are explored. Guidelines are presented on which style is most applicable for certain application scenarios, and when a combination of styles is necessary.
Software development is a very dynamic discipline, it can be very hype-driven at times. Technologies change all the time. For years, the pattern movement has successfully aimed at capturing the essence of what’s going on in the software development field in order to make sure wheels are not invented over and over again. Some patterns are very specialized, some are quite fundamental (such as the GoF patterns).
However, what are really the fundamentals of software development? Quicksort? Scheme? UML? What would you like all your developers in the team to really understand, what would you like to be the guiding principles of a curriculum of software engineering?
In this pattern language, I try to capture these principles. I will illustrate them with quite different, but usually contemporary and relevant technology examples. Some of the principles are implemented in languages, others in technologies, some in processes.
This is a lecture about Software Architecture Styles, part of the Advanced Software Engineering course, at the University of L'Aquila, Italy (www.di.univaq.it/muccini/SE+/2012)

Now we are going to give a quick intro into our platform itself.
Safe Harbor
Disruptive changes require fast and agile development – we are now seeing the business results of being in a Post-PC world, as Steve Jobs called it. Our users, your users, your employees, your potential customers – they are all becoming more mobile, more social – they are more engaged with each other, with business process and with corporate branding than ever before.
Why is mobile and social such a powerful combo?Engagement. Facebook, Twitter, Yelp – all have 4-5x more usage on their mobile apps than their web browsers.
We’ve built Apps that range from Field Service to Mobile Surveys to Clienteling.B2B and B2C ApplicationConnected Mobile Applications – Internet of Things etc.
Apps for customers:Make every app an opportunity to know your customer or partnerEngage more deeply by embedding the customer recordCreate loyalty by creating communitiesApps for Employees:Deliver business processes using standard templatesDrive field workforce productivityRe-use existing web development skillsApps for Consumers:Deliver engaging social and mobile consumer experiencesQuickly create and test new customer channels and applicationsChoose your programming language
Customer story: https://na1.salesforce.com/a4b300000004DvLAAUAXA is the largest insurance company in the world with over 100 million customers all around the world representing 57 countries. In a time of global financial crisis, they needed to think differently in order to maintain profitability. The CEO had a vision of being the best service delivering company for insurance markets and he wants to build "the Apple for service in insurance". In DF’12, AXA introduced us to Project iNov-an iPad app to improve agent productivity. Background of Project iNov:AXA uses number “5” to summarize the old world: When sales reps were visiting the client, it took them 5 minutes to start the laptop, 5 kilo to carry with laptop, forms and maybe even a printer and average 5 visits to finalize a deal.15 months ago, AXA decided to launch Project iNov and built a complete business solution on iPad, which is mobile, paperless and can be used even when disconnected to Internet.Goals:AXA wants to improve operational efficiency and ease network animation.Improve operational efficiency: AXA wanted less administrative tasks for sales reps, so they can have more meetings, more sales and more revenue. When the contract is signed at the end of the meeting, there would be no no homework and the sales reps can go to visit another client rather than spend 30 or 40 minutes to catch the data from the paper form they have complete before.Ease network animation: With Siebel, the managers don’t have the real time visibility of their team activities; with Salesforce, they can. How many opportunities are out, how many meetings the team are having next week. Now the managers easily see it and manage it. Solution:AXA App demo: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b-FBdSwMzo8 (Demo starts at 8 min and 18 min)Agents use their iPads to sell insurance in a fully digital sales process captured in a mobile app. This customer-facing sales tool allows agents to simulate various lifeinsurance package scenarios and calculate premiums. Information and orders input into the app will synch with AXA’s back office and a contract will be generated and sent to the customer. Over 200 agents are now using this application in the field with tremendous adoption.Security: AXA used AirWatch to get security around their app. It is already a solution AXA had out of the box so this is what they used to make the app available on the AXA store and also to remotely delete data in case of robbery or loss of an iPadResult:AXA uses number “1” to summarize the new world: 1 second to start the ipad, 1 pound to carry and 1 meeting to close the deal.Business results of the 6 month 100-user pilot300% increase in usage during customer meetingsLess work back at the office (about 20 minutes saved per new customer)74% see improvement on daily organization (time saving, real-time schedule, real-time access to info)90% positive feedback: “our customer data is available all the time and everywhere”AwardsAXA’s Group innovation award for “Distribution and Digital items”“Argus d’or” at the insurance annual “Golden Globe” of innovationWhy Salesforce?After a decade of Siebel, AXA needed something new, more agile, and they were also yearning for mobility for new sales rep. They launched the first version of the mobile app on Salesforce in less than 4 months. In the two years adventure with Salesforce, AXA have actually delivered more versions than what they have done in 10 years of Siebel.

Critical Systems. Keeping Greater Atlanta safe from fire with Force.com and an iPhone.Jim Boudreaux, IT Director: "Force.com reduced our fire alarm inspection process from weeks to hours. Now, with Force.com, reports are sometimes emailed to clients before the inspector has even left the building."Critical Systems offers fire alarm and testing services to help businesses comply with local and national fire codes. The company, which is based in Marietta, GA, had been running its business on a combination of older technologies: paper floor plans to locate equipment on site, Excel on a laptop to record inspection data, and CDs to transport repairs to headquarters. It wanted an easier solution and began looking for a mobile application that could display electronic floor plans and accept inspection results. Critical Systems' goal: to be able to generate reports for its clients in real time.Jim Boudreaux, IT director, considered building a solution from scratch using PHP and SQL, but chose Force.com instead for its flexibility, rapid development time, and cloud computing model. Force.com quickly delivered a solution. In less than 4 weeks a single developer created a custom inspections app for the iPhone and deployed to the field inspection team.The new app included crucial features. . Customized desktop and mobile interfaces track data on individual buildings, maintaining it in one place. Jpegs of building floor plans can be easily updated and expanded to include extinguishers, security systems, or other devices. Field inspectors can update information on their iPhones, and workflow rules automatically generate reports and email them to clients after an inspection is completed.Critical Systems estimates it developed its custom app 10 times faster on Force.com than it would have using an on-premise platform.The new app provided some major advantages. Only one inspector is needed per site because it is easy to locate fire alarm devices and record results on an iPhone, saving time and money. Managers have better oversight thanks to custom dashboards that show inspection results and completion rates in real time. In addition, capturing information in the cloud has improved data integrity and eliminated the risk that information will be lost in a computer crash.Force.com helped Critical Systems met its goal. "Force.com reduced our fire alarm inspection process from weeks to hours,” said Jim Boudreaux, IT director. “Now, with Force.com, reports are sometimes emailed to clients before the inspector has even left the building." BENEFITS Rapid development Improved oversight with custom dashboards Increased productivity; only one inspector is needed to complete a job Increased data integrityChallenge Fire alarm inspection and testing provider needed an easier way to manage, track and test the status of fire alarms and equipment in over 320 buildings each year Previously depended on paper floor plans to locate devices on site, Excel (on laptops) to record inspection data, and multiple inspectors to key results into spreadsheets (which were burned on CDs to transfer to headquarters) Wanted an applications that could work with electronic floor plans, be deployed via mobile devices including the iPhone, and provide an intuitive interface for inspectors to input results while onsite Needed a mobile solution to automatically send results to headquarters so reports could be generated in real time and provide operational visibility Solution Considered building a solution from scratch using PHP and SQL, but chose Force.com for its flexibility, rapid development times, and cloud computing model A single resource developed the custom inspections app using Force.com and deployed it to the field inspection team via iPhones in less than 4 weeks Customized the desktop and mobile interfaces to track data on individual buildings, and used Force.com code and Apex triggers to present updatable jpegs of building floor plans with fire alarm locations; status can be changed with just a click Added mobile access so field inspectors can view and update reports via their iPhonesAdded workflow rules to automatically generate reports and email them to clients after an inspection is completed Consolidated sales, installation, and service data on one system for more efficient service delivery Results Developed and deployed the Force.com-based solution 10 times faster than using an on premise platform Saved time and money because inspectors can quickly locate fire alarm devices on site and record results via their iPhones, and only one inspector is needed to complete a job Increased efficiency because electronic floor plans can be updated and reused annually and easily expanded to include extinguishers, security systems, or other devices; reports are automatically compiled and emailed to clients Improved oversight via custom dashboards that show inspection results and completion rates in real time; headquarters can also track an inspector’s progress within a building in real time Increased data integrity because information is automatically captured in the cloud; data is accessible throughout the company and the risk of loss while using local machines is eliminated
