While Node.js is becoming the platform of choice for web-scale applications, enterprises are resistant to change and have legacy applications based on other technologies, typically Java. Emerging web application architectures bring together the web-scale and integrated browser characteristics of Node.js with the transactional nature of Java to deliver high-performance, engaging web applications. Learn how the complimentary characteristics of Node.js and Java are being used to build the next generation of web applications.
FrenchKit: End to End Application Development with SwiftChris Bailey
The addition of support for Swift as a server-side programming language makes it possible to use not just the same language on client and server, but also to reuse APIs and code. This opens up a world of possibilities for creating and deploying new types of applications. This session will introduce you to new models of client and server interaction for application development, and show you how to rapidly build an app with both client and server components written in Swift.

InterConnect2016: WebApp Architectures with Java and Node.jsChris Bailey
Java has been the historical leader for enterprise web application development. However, Node.js is rapidly gaining in popularity for developing mobile apps, APIs and web applications. Java and Node.js are complimentary tools for enterprise web application development and this session will highlight the strengths and complimentary nature of each.
Presented at IBM InterConnect 2016
Presented at JAX London 2015.
The last few years have seen a huge growth in the usage of JavaScript, to the extent that it is often reported to be the #1 programming language in use today. Additionally, the arrival of server-side JavaScript through frameworks such as Node.js and Ringo.js, and JavaScript on the JVM through Nashorn and Avatar.js, means that enterprise web applications written in JavaScript are not just a possibility—but a reality for companies such as LinkedIn, eBay, Yahoo, ADP and Dow Jones. This session will compare and contrast the two platforms and describe the advantages of each for deploying, managing and monitoring highly scalable applications.
The availability of on-demand, utility computing via the cloud introduces a new world of flexibility but also an entirely new charging model for applications. This new model has long promised to provide metered compute, charging you for exactly the amount of processing power you need, at the points that you need it.
The cloud is a large paradigm change, not just for some of the technologies involved but also for the economics and the return on investment for deploying and running a given application. Whereas traditional on-premises applications require upfront capital expenditure on hardware, cloud deployments have an ongoing operational expense. Additionally, clouds typically charge by the amount of memory used, whereas applications are typically developed and tuned to run as fast as possible using all the available (already paid for) resources.
Chris Bailey explains how this new economics of the cloud is driving changes in the way applications are architected, developed, and deployed.

Programmers are often advised to use “the right tool for the right job.” So how does Java compare to JavaScript? This session compares and contrasts Java and JavaScript in different areas and determines just which is the king of the languages that start with Java.
Even the most innovative and groundbreaking applications risk failure if they do not provide an engaging and responsive user experience. Performance and scalability both require access to real-time performance data that lets developers optimize code, allows the infrastructure to scale automatically, enables operations teams to identify issues, and gives business owners insights into the success of the application. This session will show introduce you to Node Application Metrics, an IBM-led open source project that provides monitoring and analytics capabilities for your application ranging from developer tools in Eclipse, to open source monitoring stacks like Elasticsearch with Kibana, to enterprise-wide monitoring products.
Presented at IBM InterConnect 2016
This session discusses how to maximize the performance of an application deployment with tools that are native to the server platform, as well as cross-platform Java analysis and monitoring tools include IBM Health Center and IBM Service Engage. The session begins with systematic steps organizations can take to locate a performance problem in a complex system and moves on to analysis they can do to understand the root cause of the problem. The picture is completed by consideration of the tools and techniques available to monitor application performance in normal operation so that organizations can catch performance issues before they build up into serious problems.
Swift Summit: Pushing the boundaries of Swift to the ServerChris Bailey
Swift is a robust language for mobile but cloud development opens the door to new opportunities for today's top app developers. Integrating projects to backend systems can sometimes be problematic, requiring new tools and skills. It doesn't have to be; end-to-end Swift opens the door to radically simpler app dev so we can all focus on the engagement. This session will describe the work that's been done to bring Swift to the server, both in terms of efforts in the Swift.org projects, and with implementation of server frameworks, and show you how you can quickly create and deploy applications with both server and client components.

JavaOne 2015: From Java Code to Machine CodeChris Bailey
When you write and run Java code, it is first compiled by javac to bytecode and then converted to optimized machine code by the just-in-time (JIT) compiler. Although JIT compilers are advanced and are able to create highly optimized code, the level of optimization achievable is ultimately limited by how the original Java code was written. This presentation introduces the compilation and optimization process and uses applications to show how following several simple rules when writing your Java code can lead to highly optimizable, and therefore highly performant, applications.

Adopting Java for the Serverless world at Serverless Meetup New York and BostonVadym Kazulkin
Java is for many years one of the most popular programming languages, but it used to have hard times in the Serverless Community. Java is known for its high cold start times and high memory footprint. For both you have to pay to the cloud providers of your choice. That's why most developers tried to avoid using Java for such use cases. But the times change: Community and cloud providers improve things steadily for Java developers. In this talk we look at the features and possibilities AWS cloud provider offers for the Java developers and look the most popular Java frameworks, like Micronaut, Quarkus and Spring (Boot) and look how (AOT compiler and GraalVM native images play a huge role) they address Serverless challenges and enable Java for broad usage in the Serverless world.

Writing less code with Serverless on AWS at AWS User Group NairobiVadym Kazulkin
The purpose of Serverless is to focus on writing the code that delivers business value and offload undifferentiated heavy lifting to the Cloud providers or SaaS vendors of your choice. Today’s code quickly becomes tomorrow’s technical debt even if you meet the perfect decision. The less you own, the better it is from the maintainability point of view. In this talk I will go through examples of the various Serverless architectures on AWS where you glue together different Serverless managed services relying mostly on configuration, significantly reducing the amount of the code written to perform the task. Own less, build more!

When we talk about prices, we often only talk about Lambda costs. In our applications, however, we rarely use only Lambda. Usually we have other building blocks like API Gateway, data sources like SNS, SQS or Kinesis. We also store our data either in S3 or in serverless databases like DynamoDB or recently in Aurora Serverless. All of these AWS services have their own pricing models to look out for. In this talk, we will draw a complete picture of the total cost of ownership in serverless applications and present a decision-making list for determining if and whether to rely on serverless paradigm in your project. In doing so, we look at the cost aspects as well as other aspects such as understanding application lifecycle, software architecture, platform limitations, organizational knowledge and plattform and tooling maturity. We will also discuss current challenges adopting serverless such as lack of high latency ephemeral storage, unsufficient network performance and missing security features.

Isomorphic JavaScript applications can share the same code and run on both the front end and back end. It is also a spectrum containing applications that share minimal bits of validation logic with ones that share a bulk of the application code. Nashorn is a new JavaScript engine for Java that was released with Java 8. The Nashorn JavaScript engine makes isomorphic web apps on the JVM possible by allowing the exact same browser code to run on the server. This enables us to achieve the don’t-repeat-yourself (DRY) principle, by reducing repetition in a multitier architecture. This presentation covers the key concepts, rationale, and categories of Isomorphic JavaScript and how it makes your large applications maintainable.

A Deep Dive into the Liberty Buildpack on IBM BlueMix Rohit Kelapure
This talk goes into the details and mechanics of how the Liberty buildpack deploys an application into the IBM BlueMix Cloud Foundry. It also explores how the Cloud Foundry runtime drives the Liberty buildpack code and what the Liberty buildpack code in Cloud Foundry does to run an application in the cloud environment. This talk touches on the restrictions that Cloud Foundry and the Liberty runtime imposes on applications running in Cloud Foundry. Developers attending this talk get deep insight into the why, what, how, and when of the Liberty buildpack ruby code, enabling them to write applications faster and optimized for the Liberty runtime in IBM BlueMix.
Native out-of-memory errors happen when a Java application runs out of memory, not in the Java object heap but outside it. The cause may be memory use for native libraries, class loading, multithreading, working data for the Java VM, backing storage for Java objects, or other reasons. No single tool can give you all the answers, and we need to cross-reference information from multiple sources to isolate a problem. Operating system tools, Java dumps, logs, and debuggers all provide useful perspectives, and your challenge is to line them up to see the whole picture. This session works through the tools and data available on the main server platforms to give you a repeatable framework for native out-of-memory error debug.
Using APIs to Create an Omni-Channel Retail ExperienceCA API Management
Today, tech-savvy consumers are always connected, using their mobile devices to compare prices, read user-generated reviews and pay for products - and many leading e-tailers already connect their customers to this information. The any time, any place connectivity enabled by mobile devices empowers all retailers to offer the kinds of enhanced shopping experiences modern consumers are becoming accustomed to.
To truly satisfy the needs of these well-informed, mobile consumers, retail organizations will need ways to create unified shopping experiences across all channels – from brick-and-mortar stores to the Web to mobile. Increasingly, offering a compelling mobile experience will become the cornerstone upon which these omni-channel shopping experiences are built.
In this webinar, you will learn how APIs can:
• Help deliver a consistent retail experience across multiple channels
• Connect retailers with social data
• Extend legacy systems to mobile apps
• Enable organizations to make real-time use of contextual data and buying patterns

Liberty Buildpack: Designed for Extension - Integrating your services in Blue...Rohit Kelapure
The Liberty Buildpack aims to remove the hassle of running Java applications on Cloud Foundry whether it is the simplified setup, auto-configuration of Liberty and Java EE references to cloud resources, reduced droplet size through selective provisioning of the runtime, or the zero-touch configuration and usage of services. There are times, however, when an application needs a feature that the buildpack does not yet provide. This talk will start by showing how to use and configure the Java buildpack and finish by showing how to extend the buildpack to ensure that IBM BlueMix Cloud Foundry is the best place to run your application. To build services and integrate them with BlueMix, you must implement the Service Broker API of Cloud Foundry for your services. This talk will explain how to write plugins to the Liberty Buildpack that will auto wire services your organization developed and integrated into CF making it easier for your apps to use the services in Cloud Foundry.

Architecting and Tuning IIB/eXtreme Scale for Maximum Performance and Reliabi...Prolifics
Abstract: Recent projects have stressed the "need for speed" while handling large amounts of data, with near zero downtime. An analysis of multiple environments has identified optimizations and architectures that improve both performance and reliability. The session covers data gathering and analysis, discussing everything from the network (multiple NICs, nearby catalogs, high speed Ethernet), to the latest features of extreme scale. Performance analysis helps pinpoint where time is spent (bottlenecks) and we discuss optimization techniques (MQ tuning, IIB performance best practices) as well as helpful IBM support pacs. Log Analysis pinpoints system stress points (e.g. CPU starvation) and steps on the path to near zero downtime.

Connect Ops and Security with Flexible Web App and API ProtectionDevOps.com
Organizations continue to adopt container orchestration to drive efficiencies in their CI/CD pipelines. Given the current business climate with more employees working from home and consumers transacting more online, how can development and operations teams release at increasing velocity with protection baked in?
Connecting operations and security teams have not always been a smooth process: developers and operations staff are charged with site reliability, availability, and uptime while security staff is held responsible for securing an organization’s always-moving perimeter and valuable web layer assets. But the lines have started to blur between DevOps teams and security: you can’t guarantee uptime without baking effective application security tooling into your processes and infrastructure configurations.
A true next-generation, holistic web application and API protection platform does just that: operations teams can integrate security into their workflows and ensure new infrastructure and app code released to production is both effective and secure. Join application security experts Aneel Dadani and Orlando Barerra II from Signal Sciences to learn how your team can deploy at scale safely while gaining layer 7 visibility in production environments. Attendees will learn:
How to inspect web traffic in containers, at the API gateway, or the ingress
How DevOps teams can scale their application footprint to meet demand while securing your codebase in production
How development teams can gain visibility into how their apps and APIs are being used in production and what vulnerabilities may exist that they overlooked
Demo these application security concepts with Ansible, a simple yet powerful IT automation engine that companies use to accelerate DevOps initiatives, including baking application security into their infrastructure.
Architecting for Scalable and Usable Web Applications

Software + Services allows you to develop fantastic applications, but there are pitfalls with architecting the applications in the wrong way.
Our Central Region Architect Evangelists will lead us through two great discussions on scaling web applications and creating the best possible user experience.
Session 1: Architecting for Scalable Web Applications In this session we will explore the patterns that typical applications follow as their scalability needs grow due to increased demand. We will also discuss best practices from companies that have gone up the scalability curve like Amazon.com, MySpace and Flickr. We will discuss the common bottlenecks that prevent scalability as well as how to tackle tough issues like state management in a application that is scaled across servers and even data centers. We will also discuss the “scale later” philosophy and how it should be accompanied by a solid plan to scale your applications.
Session 2: Architecting for Usable Web Applications In this session we will discuss how to architect your application with the user in mind. We have more choices than ever before for developing applications (Traditional Web Apps, AJAX, RIA technologies like Flex and Microsoft Silverlight and even smart clients) and picking the technology is only part of the solution. The architecture of the application must be designed correctly to provide a pleasing user experience and (potentially) to add new and interesting clients in the future.
Function-as-a-Service (FaaS) and serverless platforms increase productivity by enabling you to focus on application code, with the platform taking care of how to deploy, configure, run and scale the code. They do however require you to adopt a new programming model, writing simple JavaScript functions or actions instead of using the expressive APIs that are available from Express.js, Hapi.js, Fastify, and other frameworks.
In this session, you’ll learn how it's now possible to create FaaS and serverless based applications using the same framework APIs that you use today, and see a live demo of an application being built and deployed as a serverless cloud native application on Kubernetes.
Voxxed Micro-services: Serverless JakartaEE - JAX-RS comes to FaaSChris Bailey
Function-as-a-service (FaaS) and serverless platforms increase productivity, enabling you to focus on application code, with the platform taking care of how to deploy, configure, run, and scale the code. They do however require you to adopt a new programming model, creating generic handlers or actions that lack the expressive APIs that you get from frameworks and standards such as Jakarta EE. In this session, you’ll learn how it’s now possible to create FaaS- and serverless-based applications using the same APIs you use today such as JAX-RS and you’ll see a live demo of an application being built and deployed as a cloud native application on Kubernetes using a combination of open source tools and Knative serving.
Silicon Valley Code Camp 2019 - Reaching the Cloud Native WorldChris Bailey
The move to microservices enables developers to rapidly create and innovate by giving them autonomy to build and deploy applications using the languages, frameworks and technologies that they choose. However, such move requires a cost. Developers require a deeper set of skills to create apps that integrate fully with cloud-native capabilities. The additional complexity is one of the main reasons why most “cloud applications” are co-hosted. Only 38% of cloud developers are leveraging cloud services, and just 12% are building cloud-native applications. These statistics indicate that the majority of applications do not fully leverage and integrate with the additional capabilities that the platform provides. This session will introduce you how to modernize existing and build new cloud-native applications, and show how to utilize open source tools to rapidly develop and build new cloud-native applications with best practises built-in.

Presented at Oracle Code One, Sept 16th 2019
The Kitura Server-side Swift framework has built support for Swagger and OpenAPI directly into its framework so that it auto-generates its own OpenAPI specification. This presentation show's how that enables Kitura to be used in the much wider OpenAPI ecosystem.
The fundamental performance characteristics of Node.js make it ideal for building highly performant microservices for a number of workloads. Translating that into highly responsive, scalable solutions however is still far from easy. This session will not just discuss why Node.js is a natural fit for microservices, but will introduce you to the tools and best practices for creating, building, deploying, monitoring and tracing microservices that are both scalable and fault tolerant, and show through a live demo how do that with minimal effort.
Speakers:
Chris Bailey, Chief Architect, Cloud Native Runtimes, IBM
Beth Griggs, Node.js Developer, IBM
There are an emerging set of architectures that are designed to optimise how front-end applications access back-end services, the most popular of which are the Backend-For-Frontend (BFF) pattern and the use of GraphQL. The BFF pattern takes the approach that the backend should be bespoke to the front-end it serves, optimised for that front-end, and ideally owned by the front-end team. GraphQL however sits at the other end of the spectrum: providing an optimised but utility backend for all frontends that is agnostic of the clients it serves. Give the two very different approaches, which is the right approach to take? This sessions will introduce the two approaches, highlight their advantages and disadvantages, and help you determine which you should be looking to adopt as the backend technology for your frontend applications.
Swift Cloud Workshop - Swift MicroservicesChris Bailey
How to deploy Swift micro-services using Docker and Kubernetes, with scaling, monitoring and fault tolerance using the Kitura server side Swift framework.
Swift Cloud Workshop - Codable, the key to Fullstack SwiftChris Bailey
Codable, introduced in Swift 4, makes is possible to share Swift classes and structs between client and server, making it easy to share data. It can also be used to add such more type safety to other parts of Fullstack Swift. This presentations shows some of the many ways that Codable is being using in Kitura to enable Fullstack Swift.
Try!Swift India 2017: All you need is SwiftChris Bailey
In September last year Swift 3 was released, added official support for Swift on Linux for the first time. This provided the scope for Swift to be used for both front-end and back-end development, allowing iOS developers to gain the benefits of full-stack development that Web developers have enjoyed for some time. In just twelve months, this has moved from promise to reality, with full-stack Swift applications not just being possible but being developed and deployed by some of the largest companies in the world.
In this session Chris and AB will introduce you to full-stack Swift development, show you how easy it is to get started, and talk about how the IBM MobileFirst for iOS Garage are building full-stack Swift applications their customers.
Swift Summit 2017: Server Swift State of the UnionChris Bailey
Server Swift has come a long way in the last 12 months, reaching a point where there are multiple successful frameworks and clouds. This session reviews the last year, announces some new capabilities, and outlines some of what to expect in the (near) future.
Node Interactive: Node.js Performance and Highly Scalable Micro-ServicesChris Bailey
The fundamental performance characteristics of Node.js, along with the improvements driven through the community benchmarking workgroup, makes Node.js ideal for highly performing micro-service workloads. Translating that into highly responsive, scalable solutions however is still far from easy. This session will discuss why Node.js is right for micro-services, introduce the best practices for building scalable deployments, and show you how to monitor and profile your applications to identify and resolve performance bottlenecks.
For just over a year, Swift has been available as a formal release on Linux and frameworks like Kitura and Vapor have made it possible to build mobile backends and web applications on the server. Running Server Swift is however not your own option for becoming a fullstack engineer and building backends in Swift. Amazon, Microsoft, Google, IBM and others are all also providing the ability to run Serverless (aka Lambdas or Functions), with some of those supporting the use of Swift.
This session will introduce you to Serverless Swift, highlight how it compares to Server Swift and show you some applications that have been built with Server(less) Swift.
AltConf 2017: Full Stack Swift in 30 MinutesChris Bailey
The introduction of Swift on the server gave the promise of being able to easily build, deliver and own the whole user experience and the solution, not just the iOS app. Building a backend however introduces many new technologies and terms, from server, cloud and Swagger definitions, to Docker and Kubernetes. This session will show you how easy it can be, demonstrating how to build a Swift Server application and connect to it from an iOS app in under 30 minutes.
InterConnect: Server Side Swift for Java DevelopersChris Bailey
The range of languages and frameworks that are available for building server applications has exploded over the last few years, with the most recent of these being the Swift programming language, which IBM has been backing along with the Kitura application framework. But does this mean that Swift is the future and you should stop developing Java server applications? This session will give you an introduction to where and when you might use Kitura, and take you through the experiences of a long-time Java EE developer building their first Angular.js based Kitura application, and how that compares to building the same application with IBM WebSphere Liberty.
InterConnect: Java, Node.js and Swift - Which, Why and WhenChris Bailey
Java, Node.js, and Swift are three of the most popular and effective programming languages in use today. When presented with an opportunity to choose, it may not be clear which language is best suited for the job. This session will provide a tour of these languages and the use cases for which each is best suited.
Over the last 12 months Swift has gone from an emerging language on the server, to a real one. The ability to run Swift on both Mobile and Server, works ideally in the Backend for Frontend "BFF") pattern.

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.

Securing your Kubernetes cluster_ a step-by-step guide to success !KatiaHIMEUR1
Today, after several years of existence, an extremely active community and an ultra-dynamic ecosystem, Kubernetes has established itself as the de facto standard in container orchestration. Thanks to a wide range of managed services, it has never been so easy to set up a ready-to-use Kubernetes cluster.
However, this ease of use means that the subject of security in Kubernetes is often left for later, or even neglected. This exposes companies to significant risks.
In this talk, I'll show you step-by-step how to secure your Kubernetes cluster for greater peace of mind and reliability.

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.
