Implementing a continuous delivery (CD) pipeline is not trivial, and the introduction of container technology to the development stack can introduce additional challenges and requirements. In this webcast we will look at the steps that are essential for creating an effective pipeline for creating and deploying containerized applications.
Topic covered include:
- The impact of containers on CD
- Creating a container pipeline (including functional and nonfunctional testing)
- Lessons learned the hard way
A supporting O'Reilly report "Containerizing Continuous Delivery in Java" is also available, and this contains instructions and code for how to create a Jenkins-based continuous delivery pipeline that takes a series of Java applications and containerizes them, ready for functional and nonfunctional testing, and ultimately, deployment.
OOP/MM 2017: "Seven (More) Deadly Sins of Microservices"Daniel Bryant
It is often a sign of an architectural approach’s maturity that in addition to the emergence of well established principles and practices, that anti-patterns also begin to be identified and classified. In this talk Daniel will introduce the 2016 edition of the seven deadly sins that if left unchecked could easily ruin your next microservices project... This talk will take a tour of some of the nastiest anti-patterns in microservices, giving you the tools to not only avoid but also slay these demons before they tie up your project in their own special brand of hell.
Topics covered include:
Envy - introducing inappropriate intimacy within services by creating a shared domain model, and how many teams deploy and use data stores incorrectly;
Wrath - failing to deal with the inevitable bad things that occur within a distributed system;
Sloth - ignoring the importance of NFRs; and
Lust - embracing the latest and greatest technology without evaluating the impact incurred by these choices.

microXchg 2017: "Microservices: The People and Organisational Impact"Daniel Bryant
Microservices are where it's at. Everything is easier to manage when it's micro, right? Micro code bases (less than 10 LOC), micro containers (less than 10Mb), and micro teams (less than one person???). 'Micro' things may appear to be easier to manage, but there is always a macro context, and working with people and teams is no exception. This talk presents some of the challenges the OpenCredo team have seen when implementing microservices within a range of organisations, and we'll suggest tricks and techniques to help you manage your 'micro' teams and the 'macro' level.
Topics covered include: empathy - because understanding others is at the heart of everything you do; leadership - advice on creating shared understanding, conveying strategy, and developing your team; organisational structure - from Zappos' holocracy to MegaOrg's strict hierarchy, from Spotify's squads, chapters and guilds, to BigCorp's command and control.

JavaOne 2016 "Java, Microservices, Cloud and Containers"Daniel Bryant
Everyone is talking about building “cloud native” Java applications—and taking advantage of microservice architecture, containers, and orchestration/PaaS platforms—but there is surprisingly little discussion of migrating existing legacy (moneymaking) applications. This session aims to address this, and, using lessons learned from several real-world examples, it covers topics such when to rewrite applications (if at all), modeling/extracting business domains, applying the “application strangler” pattern, common misconceptions with “12-factor” application design, and the benefits/drawbacks of container technology.

J1 2015 "Thinking Fast and Slow with Software Development"Daniel Bryant
In the international bestseller Thinking, Fast and Slow, Daniel Kahneman explains how we, as human beings, think and reason and, perhaps surprisingly, how our thought processes are often fundamentally flawed and biased. This session explores the ideas presented in the book in the context of professional software development. Along this journey, the presentation also shares techniques, processes, and models that can help overcome some of the identified limitations of our decision-making abilities. Topics discussed include the “availability heuristic,” which can lead developers to choose the “latest and greatest” technology without proper evaluation; “optimistic bias,” which can blind architects so they can’t see the “unknown unknowns” within a project; and more.

O'Reilly SACON "Continuous Delivery Patterns for Contemporary Architecture"Daniel Bryant
Last year at this conference we learned from Mark Richards that modern software has almost completed its evolution toward component-based architectures—seen in the mainstream embrace of self-contained systems (SCS), microservices, and serverless architecture. We all know the benefits of component-based architectures, but there are also many challenges to delivering such applications in a continuous, safe, and rapid fashion. Daniel Bryant shares a series of patterns to help you identify and implement solutions for continuous delivery of contemporary service-based architectures.
Topics include:
- The core stages in the component delivery lifecycle: Develop, test, deploy, operate, and observe
- How contemporary architectures impact continuous delivery and how to ensure that this is factored into the design
- Modifying the build pipeline to support testability and deployability of components (with a hat tip to Jez Humble’s and Dave Farley’s seminal work)
- Commonality between delivery of SCS, microservices, and serverless components
- Continuous delivery, service contracts, and end-to-end validation: The good, the bad, and the ugly
- Validating NFRs within a service pipeline

Whether it’s a small team within a startup or one of hundreds within a large organisation, this talk has practical advice on how to approach the challenge, what critical changes need to be considered, and what tools and processes are best suited for the situation. The adoption of DevOps is a game changing event for the industry. Learn why and learn how you can benefit from it too.
ACCU16 "Let's Not Repeat the Mistakes of SOA: 'Micro' Services, Macro Organis...Daniel Bryant
The technology changes required when implementing a microservice-based application are only one part of the equation. The business and organisation will also most likely have to fundamentally change. In an ideal world, this shouldn’t be a problem - what with the rise of agile, lean and DevOps - but this is not always the situation Daniel encounters in his consulting travels. He would like to share with you some stories of successful (and not so successful) strategies and tactics he has used over the past four years when introducing service-oriented architecture into organisations.
Join Daniel for a whistle-stop tour of the business and people challenges that he has experienced first hand when implementing a greenfield microservice project, and also breaking down a monolith. You will discover ‘divided companies’ vs ‘connected companies’, determine the actual impact of conway’s law, briefly touch on the lean startup/enterprise mindset, dive into change management without the management double-speak, and look at the lightweight processes needed to ensure the technical success of a microservices implementation.
JAX London 2016: "Empathy - The hidden ingredient of good software development?"Daniel Bryant
When I ask fellow developers what they think about empathy, the answer is often “not much”. However, I believe that the skill of empathy, being able to place yourself in another’s position, is crucial to designing, building and operating software at any scale. Join me for a whistle-stop tour of the benefits of empathy, which I learned from working on a large variety of software projects over the past ten years. I will share success stories and battle scars, and suggest practical techniques that you can harness in order to help your team develop empathy.

vJUG24 2017 "Continuous Delivery Patterns for Contemporary Architecture"Daniel Bryant
VJUG24 SESSION: CONTINUOUS DELIVERY PATTERNS FOR THE MODERN JAVA DEVELOPER (I.E. ALL OF US!)
Modern software architecture is evolving towards fully component-based systems, but there can be many challenges in delivering these applications in a continuous, safe and rapid fashion. This talk presents a series of patterns that will help developers implement continuous delivery solutions.
Microservices architecture is a very powerful way to build scalable systems optimized for speed of change. To do this, we need to build independent, autonomous services which by definition tend to minimize dependencies on other systems. One of the tenants of microservices, and a way to minimize dependencies, is “a service should own its own database”. Unfortunately this is a lot easier said than done. Why? Because: your data.
We’ve been dealing with data in information systems for 5 decades so isn’t this a solved problem? Yes and no. A lot of the lessons learned are still very relevant. Traditionally, we application developers have accepted the practice of using relational databases and relying on all of their safety guarantees without question. But as we build services architectures that span more than one database (by design, as with microservices), things get harder. If data about a customer changes in one database, how do we reconcile that with other databases (especially where the data storage may be heterogenous?).
For developers focused on the traditional enterprise, not only do we have to try to build fast-changing systems that are surrounded by legacy systems, the domains (finance, insurance, retail, etc) are incredibly complicated. Just copying with Netflix does for microservices may or may not be useful. So how do we develop and reason about the boundaries in our system to reduce complexity in the domain?
In this talk, we’ll explore these problems and see how Domain Driven Design helps grapple with the domain complexity. We’ll see how DDD concepts like Entities and Aggregates help reason about boundaries based on use cases and how transactions are affected. Once we can identify our transactional boundaries we can more carefully adjust our needs from the CAP theorem to scale out and achieve truly autonomous systems with strictly ordered eventual consistency. We’ll see how technologies like Apache Kafka, Apache Camel and Debezium.io can help build the backbone for these types of systems. We’ll even explore the details of a working example that brings all of this together.

JavaOne 2016 "Java, Microservices, Cloud and Containers"Daniel Bryant
Everyone is talking about building “cloud native” Java applications—and taking advantage of microservice architecture, containers, and orchestration/PaaS platforms—but there is surprisingly little discussion of migrating existing legacy (moneymaking) applications. This session aims to address this, and, using lessons learned from several real-world examples, it covers topics such when to rewrite applications (if at all), modeling/extracting business domains, applying the “application strangler” pattern, common misconceptions with “12-factor” application design, and the benefits/drawbacks of container technology.

All is not completely rosy in microservice-land. It’s often a sign of an architectural approach’s maturity that anti-patterns begin to be identified and classified alongside well-established principles and practices. Daniel Bryant introduces seven deadly sins from real projects, which left unchecked could easily ruin your next microservices project.
Daniel offers an updated tour for 2016 of some of the nastiest anti-patterns in microservices from several real-world projects he’s encountered as a consultant, providing a series of anti-pattern “smells” you can sniff out and exploring the tools and techniques you need to avoid or mitigate the potential damage.
Topics include:
Pride: Selfishly building the wrong thing, such as the "Inter-Domain-Enterprise-Application-Service-Bus” or a fully bespoke infrastructure platform
Envy: Introducing inappropriate intimacy within services by creating a shared “canonical” domain model
Wrath: Failing to deal with the inevitable bad things that occur within a distributed system
Sloth: Composing services in a lazy fashion, which ultimately leads to the creation of a "distributed monolith”
Lust: Embracing the latest and greatest technology without evaluating the operational impact incurred by these choices
J1 2015 "Thinking Fast and Slow with Software Development"Daniel Bryant
In the international bestseller Thinking, Fast and Slow, Daniel Kahneman explains how we, as human beings, think and reason and, perhaps surprisingly, how our thought processes are often fundamentally flawed and biased. This session explores the ideas presented in the book in the context of professional software development. Along this journey, the presentation also shares techniques, processes, and models that can help overcome some of the identified limitations of our decision-making abilities. Topics discussed include the “availability heuristic,” which can lead developers to choose the “latest and greatest” technology without proper evaluation; “optimistic bias,” which can blind architects so they can’t see the “unknown unknowns” within a project; and more.

SwisscomSoftwareDay 2016 "The Trials and Tribulations of Making Software Small"Daniel Bryant
Microservices are where it's at. Everything is easier to manage when it's micro, right? Micro code bases (less than 10 LOC), micro containers (less than 10Mb), and micro teams (less than one person???). 'Micro' things may appear to be easier to manage, but there is always a macro context, and working with people and teams is no exception. This talk presents some of the challenges the OpenCredo team have seen when implementing microservices within a range of organisations, and we'll suggest tricks and techniques to help you manage your 'micro' teams and the 'macro' level.
Topics covered include: empathy - because understanding others is at the heart of everything you do; leadership - advice on creating shared understanding, conveying strategy, and developing your team; organisational structure - from Zappos' holocracy to MegaOrg's strict hierarchy, from Spotify's squads, chapters and guilds, to BigCorp's command and control. There is a management style for everybody; and more

O'Reilly SACON "Continuous Delivery Patterns for Contemporary Architecture"Daniel Bryant
Last year at this conference we learned from Mark Richards that modern software has almost completed its evolution toward component-based architectures—seen in the mainstream embrace of self-contained systems (SCS), microservices, and serverless architecture. We all know the benefits of component-based architectures, but there are also many challenges to delivering such applications in a continuous, safe, and rapid fashion. Daniel Bryant shares a series of patterns to help you identify and implement solutions for continuous delivery of contemporary service-based architectures.
Topics include:
- The core stages in the component delivery lifecycle: Develop, test, deploy, operate, and observe
- How contemporary architectures impact continuous delivery and how to ensure that this is factored into the design
- Modifying the build pipeline to support testability and deployability of components (with a hat tip to Jez Humble’s and Dave Farley’s seminal work)
- Commonality between delivery of SCS, microservices, and serverless components
- Continuous delivery, service contracts, and end-to-end validation: The good, the bad, and the ugly
- Validating NFRs within a service pipeline

Whether it’s a small team within a startup or one of hundreds within a large organisation, this talk has practical advice on how to approach the challenge, what critical changes need to be considered, and what tools and processes are best suited for the situation. The adoption of DevOps is a game changing event for the industry. Learn why and learn how you can benefit from it too.
ACCU16 "Let's Not Repeat the Mistakes of SOA: 'Micro' Services, Macro Organis...Daniel Bryant
The technology changes required when implementing a microservice-based application are only one part of the equation. The business and organisation will also most likely have to fundamentally change. In an ideal world, this shouldn’t be a problem - what with the rise of agile, lean and DevOps - but this is not always the situation Daniel encounters in his consulting travels. He would like to share with you some stories of successful (and not so successful) strategies and tactics he has used over the past four years when introducing service-oriented architecture into organisations.
Join Daniel for a whistle-stop tour of the business and people challenges that he has experienced first hand when implementing a greenfield microservice project, and also breaking down a monolith. You will discover ‘divided companies’ vs ‘connected companies’, determine the actual impact of conway’s law, briefly touch on the lean startup/enterprise mindset, dive into change management without the management double-speak, and look at the lightweight processes needed to ensure the technical success of a microservices implementation.
JAX London 2016: "Empathy - The hidden ingredient of good software development?"Daniel Bryant
When I ask fellow developers what they think about empathy, the answer is often “not much”. However, I believe that the skill of empathy, being able to place yourself in another’s position, is crucial to designing, building and operating software at any scale. Join me for a whistle-stop tour of the benefits of empathy, which I learned from working on a large variety of software projects over the past ten years. I will share success stories and battle scars, and suggest practical techniques that you can harness in order to help your team develop empathy.

VJUG24 SESSION: CONTINUOUS DELIVERY PATTERNS FOR THE MODERN JAVA DEVELOPER (I.E. ALL OF US!)
Modern software architecture is evolving towards fully component-based systems, but there can be many challenges in delivering these applications in a continuous, safe and rapid fashion. This talk presents a series of patterns that will help developers implement continuous delivery solutions.
Microservices architecture is a very powerful way to build scalable systems optimized for speed of change. To do this, we need to build independent, autonomous services which by definition tend to minimize dependencies on other systems. One of the tenants of microservices, and a way to minimize dependencies, is “a service should own its own database”. Unfortunately this is a lot easier said than done. Why? Because: your data.
We’ve been dealing with data in information systems for 5 decades so isn’t this a solved problem? Yes and no. A lot of the lessons learned are still very relevant. Traditionally, we application developers have accepted the practice of using relational databases and relying on all of their safety guarantees without question. But as we build services architectures that span more than one database (by design, as with microservices), things get harder. If data about a customer changes in one database, how do we reconcile that with other databases (especially where the data storage may be heterogenous?).
For developers focused on the traditional enterprise, not only do we have to try to build fast-changing systems that are surrounded by legacy systems, the domains (finance, insurance, retail, etc) are incredibly complicated. Just copying with Netflix does for microservices may or may not be useful. So how do we develop and reason about the boundaries in our system to reduce complexity in the domain?
In this talk, we’ll explore these problems and see how Domain Driven Design helps grapple with the domain complexity. We’ll see how DDD concepts like Entities and Aggregates help reason about boundaries based on use cases and how transactions are affected. Once we can identify our transactional boundaries we can more carefully adjust our needs from the CAP theorem to scale out and achieve truly autonomous systems with strictly ordered eventual consistency. We’ll see how technologies like Apache Kafka, Apache Camel and Debezium.io can help build the backbone for these types of systems. We’ll even explore the details of a working example that brings all of this together.

A Gentle Introduction To Docker And All Things ContainersJérôme Petazzoni
Docker is a runtime for Linux Containers. It enables "separation of concern" between devs and ops, and solves the "matrix from hell" of software deployment. This presentation explains it all! It also explains the role of the storage backend and compares the various backends available. It gives multiple recipes to build Docker images, including integration with configuration management software like Chef, Puppet, Salt, Ansible. If you already watched other Docker presentations, this is an actualized version (as of mid-November 2013) of the thing!

OReilly SACON 2016 "A Practical Guide for Continuous Delivery with Containers"Daniel Bryant
Is continuous delivery mainstream? We would all like to think so, but as William Gibson reminds us, “The future is already here—it’s just not evenly distributed.” The large (unicorn) companies have been talking about deploying containerized applications for some time, but the processes, techniques, and technologies involved are not always clear when looking in from the outside. This can make it difficult to emulate their success.
Based on his experience building several Docker-based applications that were deployed to a range of orchestration and scheduling platforms, Daniel Bryant demonstrates how to create a scalable build pipeline that takes a series of Java applications, containerizes them, and deploys them to Docker Swarm.
Example code will be available to download via GitHub, and the examples can be executed locally via Vagrant.

Haufe #msaday - Building a Microservice Ecosystem by Daniel Bryant OpenCredo
Daniel Bryant's slides from his talk at Haufe Microservices Architecture Day 2016.
Microservice platforms are finally becoming a reality: Mesos, Kubernetes, and a whole bunch of PaaS-style offerings are available, but the reality is that these platforms still don’t provide everything you need in order to build a fully functional microservice ecosystem. Come to this session to learn about the essential deployment, orchestration, and glue components that often have to be self-assembled. The presentation begins by looking at deployment techniques and tools and examines where to test (QA, staging, or production), how to test (integration and contracts), and how to separate deployment and release. It then discusses orchestration, configuration, and service discovery. Finally it looks at essential glue such as logging, monitoring, and alerting.

Haufe #msaday - Seven More Deadly Sins of Microservices by Daniel Bryant OpenCredo
All is not completely rosy in microservice-land. It is often a sign of an architectural approach’s maturity that in addition to the emergence of well established principles and practices, that anti-patterns also begin to be identified and classified. In this talk Daniel will introduce the 2016 edition of the seven deadly sins that if left unchecked could easily ruin your next microservices project... This talk will take a tour of some of the nastiest anti-patterns in microservices, giving you the tools to not only avoid but also slay these demons before they tie up your project in their own special brand of hell.
Topics covered include:
Envy - introducing inappropriate intimacy within services by creating a shared domain model, and how many teams deploy and use data stores incorrectly;
Wrath - failing to deal with the inevitable bad things that occur within a distributed system;
Sloth - ignoring the importance of NFRs; and
Lust - embracing the latest and greatest technology without evaluating the impact incurred by these choices.
This is an all-new 2016 version of Daniel's popular 'deadly sins talk' that was recently presented at QCon NY.

Building Java applications for the Cloud is easy, right? Perhaps, but if you want to build effective and reliable applications that not only work correctly within the Cloud, but also take advantage of running within this unique environment, then you might be in for a surprise. This talk will introduce lessons learnt over the past several years of designing and implementing successful Cloud-based Java applications which we have codified into our Cloud development ‘DHARMA' principles; Documented (just enough); Highly cohesive / lowly coupled (all the way down); Automated from commit to cloud; Resource aware; Monitored thoroughly; and Antifragile. We will look at these lessons from both a theoretic and practical perspective using several real-world case studies involving a move from JVM-based monolithic applications deployed into a data center on a 'big bang' schedule, to a platform of loosely-coupled components, all being continuously deployed into the Cloud. Topics discussed will include API contracts and documentation, microservices, build and deployment pipelines, Cloud fabric properties, monitoring in a distributed environment, and fault-tolerant design patterns.
Building Java applications for the IaaS cloud is easy, right? “Sure, no problem. Just lift and shift,” all the cloud vendors shout in unison. However, the reality of building and deploying cloud applications can often be different. This session introduces lessons learned from the trenches during several years of designing and implementing cloud-based Java applications, which we have codified into our Cloud Developer's “DHARMA” rules: Documented (just enough); Highly cohesive/loosely coupled (all the way down); Automated from code commit to cloud; Resource-aware; Monitored thoroughly; and Antifragile.

LJC 2015 "The Crafty Consultants Guide to DevOps"Daniel Bryant
Come along and learn how the Crafty Consultant makes his money by consulting craftily in DevOps. We'll see how silos can be broken down by introducing more independent and isolated team, how only idiots automate everything, and why monitoring only provides actionable insight that simply confuses your clients...
...and then we'll look at the real world implementation of DevOps :-) The primary aims of this talk are to introduce the concepts behind the DevOps movement, and we'll do this by debunking all of the Crafty Consultant's advice. We'll cover the drivers of breaking down silos (in business and in tech), the benefits of automation (especially with provisioning and configuring infrastructure), and the power that monitoring provides (particularly when deploying to the cloud, or implementing a microservice architecture).
J1 2015 "Building a Microservice Ecosystem: Some Assembly Still Required"Daniel Bryant
Microservice platforms are finally becoming a reality: Mesos, Kubernetes, and a whole bunch of PaaS-style offerings are available, but the reality is that these platforms still don’t provide everything you need in order to build a fully functional microservice ecosystem. Come to this session to learn about the essential deployment, orchestration, and glue components that often have to be self-assembled. The presentation begins by looking at deployment techniques and tools and examines where to test (QA, staging, or production), how to test (integration and contracts), and how to separate deployment and release. It then discusses orchestration, configuration, and service discovery. Finally it looks at essential glue such as logging, monitoring, and alerting.
Micro Manchester Meetup: "The Seven (More) Deadly Sins of Microservices"Daniel Bryant
There is trouble brewing in the land of microservices – today’s shiny technology is tomorrow’s legacy, and there is concern that we will all be dealing with spaghetti services in 2018…
It is often a sign of an architectural approach’s maturity that in addition to the emergence of well established principles and practices, that anti-patterns also begin to be identified and classified. In this talk we introduce the 2016 edition of the seven deadly sins that if left unchecked could easily ruin your next microservices project…

DevRelCon 2022: "Is Product Led Growth (PLG) the “DevOps” of the DevRel World"Daniel Bryant
Over the last year, the Ambassador Labs team has doubled down on their adoption of Product Led Growth (PLG), a growth model where product usage drives customer acquisition, retention, and expansion. It’s been an interesting journey for the DevRel team, who have found themselves working more closely with both the sales and growth engineering teams.
In their quest to reduce the friction of product adoption, they’re thinking more and more about the end-to-end experiences, experimentation, instrumentation, data analysis, and handoffs — much like we saw in the software development world with the adoption of DevOps breaking down barriers between engineering and operations.
The Ambassador Labs team have learned more about the value of creating hypotheses and analyzing quantitative data, but have also been reminded that there is no substitute for qualitative data and engaging human-to-human. Join Daniel for a whistle-stop tour of PLG through the DevRel lens:
– Understand how moving to PLG can impact devrel teams and the work they do: for better and worse!
– Explore how DevRel tooling and community platforms are increasingly overlapping with PLG marketer tooling
– Learn how to structure your goals, common languages, and teams for successfully adopting PLG
Fall 22: "From Kubernetes to PaaS to... err, what's next"Daniel Bryant
Developers building applications on Kubernetes today are being asked to not just code applications -- they are also responsible for shipping and running their applications, too. We often talk about needing a Kubernetes platform, but are we really looking for a PaaS? Or instead, are we looking for some kind of developer control plane with a Goldilock-sized collection of tools that provides just the right amount of platform? This talk will look back on my experience of building platforms, both as an end-user and now as part of an organization helping our customers do the same. We’ll wrap this talk with a walk-through of the CNCF ecosystem through the developer control plane lens, and look at what’s next in the future of this important emerging category.

Many organizations adopt cloud native development practices with the goal of shipping features faster. The technologies and architectures may change when we move to the cloud, but the fact remains that we all still add the occasional bug to our code.
The challenge here is that many of your existing local debugging tools and practices can’t be used when everything is running in a container or deployed onto Kubernetes running in the cloud. This is where the open source Telepresence tool can help.
Join Daniel to learn about:
- Quick overview of remote-local ("remocal") options and tooling e.g. “kubectl port-forward”, Skaffold, ksync, Telepresence etc.
- An exploration of how Telepresence can “intercept” or reroute traffic from a specified service in a remote K8s cluster to your local dev machine
-- The benefits of getting a “hot reload” fast feedback loop between applications being developed locally and apps running in the remote environment

The main challenge you now face is how to perform integration or end-to-end testing without spinning up all of your microservices locally and driving your laptop fans into high speed! Join me for a tour of testing microservices using a series of Java applications as a case study.
You will learn everything about effective unit testing with mocks, using TestContainers for dependency testing, and using Telepresence to extend your local testing environment into the cloud. Learn when to use each type of test and tooling based on your use case and requirements for realism, speed, and practicality. We will discuss how to utilize containerized dependencies and Docker for testing, including both apps and services you own and those you don’t.

CloudBuilders 2022: "The Past, Present, and Future of Cloud Native API Gateways"Daniel Bryant
Many engineers are confused about how a cloud-native API gateway relates to Kubernetes Ingress or a Service load balancer. This talk will unravel this confusion.
An API gateway is at the core of how APIs are managed, secured and presented within any web-based system. Although the technology has been in use for many years, it has not always kept pace with recent developments within the cloud-native space.
Join Daniel Bryant in uncovering the evolution of API gateways over the past ten years and how the original problems they were solving have shifted in relation to cloud-native technologies and workflow.
KubeCon EU 2022: From Kubernetes to PaaS to Err What's NextDaniel Bryant
Developers building applications on Kubernetes today are being asked to not just code applications -- they are also responsible for shipping and running their applications, too. We often talk about needing a Kubernetes platform, but are we really looking for a PaaS? Or instead, are we looking for some kind of developer control plane with a Goldilock-sized collection of tools that provides just the right amount of platform? This talk will look back on my experience of building platforms, both as an end-user and now as part of an organization helping our customers do the same. The key takeaways are:
- Treat platform as a product
- Realize that you can’t have good developer experience (DevEx) without good UX
- Focus on workflows and tooling interoperability
We’ll wrap this talk with a walk-through of the CNCF ecosystem through the developer control plane lens, and look at what’s next in the future of this important emerging category.

DevXDay KubeCon NA 2021: "From Kubernetes to PaaS to Developer Control Planes"Daniel Bryant
Developers building applications on Kubernetes today are being asked to not just develop applications -- they are also responsible for releasing and running their applications, too. In this talk, we’ll discuss the secular shift towards what Netflix calls “Full Cycle Development” or what Google calls “Service Ownership”. With developers managing so much of the cloud-native development loop, a new class of infrastructure has emerged -- the developer control plane. We’ll explore the evolution from Kubernetes to PaaS, to the developer control planes in use today. We’ll draw on our personal experiences and podcast chats with the larger CNCF community, and discuss real-world examples of developer control planes used at New Relic, Spotify, InVision, and Twitter. We’ll wrap this talk with a walk through of the CNCF ecosystem through the developer control plane lens, and look at what’s next in the future of this important emerging category.

Search and Society: Reimagining Information Access for Radical FuturesBhaskar Mitra
The field of Information retrieval (IR) is currently undergoing a transformative shift, at least partly due to the emerging applications of generative AI to information access. In this talk, we will deliberate on the sociotechnical implications of generative AI for information access. We will argue that there is both a critical necessity and an exciting opportunity for the IR community to re-center our research agendas on societal needs while dismantling the artificial separation between the work on fairness, accountability, transparency, and ethics in IR and the rest of IR research. Instead of adopting a reactionary strategy of trying to mitigate potential social harms from emerging technologies, the community should aim to proactively set the research agenda for the kinds of systems we should build inspired by diverse explicitly stated sociotechnical imaginaries. The sociotechnical imaginaries that underpin the design and development of information access technologies needs to be explicitly articulated, and we need to develop theories of change in context of these diverse perspectives. Our guiding future imaginaries must be informed by other academic fields, such as democratic theory and critical theory, and should be co-developed with social science scholars, legal scholars, civil rights and social justice activists, and artists, among others.

Epistemic Interaction - tuning interfaces to provide information for AI supportAlan Dix
Paper presented at SYNERGY workshop at AVI 2024, Genoa, Italy. 3rd June 2024
https://alandix.com/academic/papers/synergy2024-epistemic/
As machine learning integrates deeper into human-computer interactions, the concept of epistemic interaction emerges, aiming to refine these interactions to enhance system adaptability. This approach encourages minor, intentional adjustments in user behaviour to enrich the data available for system learning. This paper introduces epistemic interaction within the context of human-system communication, illustrating how deliberate interaction design can improve system understanding and adaptation. Through concrete examples, we demonstrate the potential of epistemic interaction to significantly advance human-computer interaction by leveraging intuitive human communication strategies to inform system design and functionality, offering a novel pathway for enriching user-system engagements.

GDG Cloud Southlake #33: Boule & Rebala: Effective AppSec in SDLC using Deplo...James Anderson
Effective Application Security in Software Delivery lifecycle using Deployment Firewall and DBOM
The modern software delivery process (or the CI/CD process) includes many tools, distributed teams, open-source code, and cloud platforms. Constant focus on speed to release software to market, along with the traditional slow and manual security checks has caused gaps in continuous security as an important piece in the software supply chain. Today organizations feel more susceptible to external and internal cyber threats due to the vast attack surface in their applications supply chain and the lack of end-to-end governance and risk management.
The software team must secure its software delivery process to avoid vulnerability and security breaches. This needs to be achieved with existing tool chains and without extensive rework of the delivery processes. This talk will present strategies and techniques for providing visibility into the true risk of the existing vulnerabilities, preventing the introduction of security issues in the software, resolving vulnerabilities in production environments quickly, and capturing the deployment bill of materials (DBOM).
Speakers:
Bob Boule
Robert Boule is a technology enthusiast with PASSION for technology and making things work along with a knack for helping others understand how things work. He comes with around 20 years of solution engineering experience in application security, software continuous delivery, and SaaS platforms.

6. Continuous Delivery
• Produce valuable and robust software in short cycles
• Optimising for feedback and learning
• Not (necessarily) Continuous Deployment
15/12/2016 @danielbryantuk
7. Creation of a build pipeline is mandatory for continuous delivery
15/12/2016 @danielbryantuk
15. Make your dev environment like production
• Develop locally or copy/code in container
• Use base images from production
• Must build/test containers locally
• Perform (at least) happy path tests
• All tests should be runnable locally
15/12/2016 @danielbryantuk
16. Lesson learned: Dockerfile content is super important
• OS choice
• Configuration
• Build artifacts
• Exposing ports
• Java
• JDK vs JRE and Oracle vs OpenJDK
• Golang
• Statically compiled binary
• Python
• Virtualenv

17. Please talk to the sysadmin people:
Their operational knowledge is invaluable
15/12/2016 @danielbryantuk
18. Different prod and test containers?
• Create “test” version of container
• Full OS (e.g. Ubuntu)
• Test tools and data
• Easy to see app/configuration drift
• Use test sidecar containers instead
• ONTEST proposal by Alexi Ledenev

20. Building images with Jenkins
• My report covers this
• Build as usual…
• Build Docker Image
• Cloudbees Docker Build and Publish Plugin
• Push image to registry
15/12/2016 @danielbryantuk
21. Storing in an image registry (DockerHub)
15/12/2016 @danielbryantuk
22. Lesson learned: Metadata is valuable
• Application metadata
• Version / GIT SHA
• Build metadata
• Build date
• Image name
• Vendor
• Quality metadata
• QA control
• Security audited etc

23. Metadata – Beware of “latest” Docker Tag
• Beware of the ‘latest’ Docker tag
• “Latest” simply means
• the last build/tag that ran without
a specific tag/version specified
• Ignore “latest” tag
• Version your tags, every time
• Danielbryantuk/test:2.4.1
15/12/2016 @danielbryantuk
24. Metadata - Adding Labels at build time
• Docker Labels
• Add key/value data to image
15/12/2016 @danielbryantuk
25. Metadata - Adding Labels at build time
• Microscaling Systems’ Makefile
• Labelling automated builds on
DockerHub (h/t Ross Fairbanks)
• Create file /hooks/build
• label-schema.org
• microbadger.com
15/12/2016 @danielbryantuk
26. Metadata - Adding Labels at runtime
15/12/2016 @danielbryantuk
$ docker run -d --label
uk.co.danielbryant.lbname=frontdoor nginx
• Can ’docker commit’, but creates new image
• Not possible to update running container
• Docker Proposal: Update labels #21721
39. Containerise an existing (monolithic) app?
• For
• We know the monolith well
• Allows homogenization of the
pipeline and deployment platform
• Can be a demonstrable win for
tech and the business
• Against
• Can be difficult (100+ line scripts)
• Often not designed for operation
within containers, nor cloud native
• Putting lipstick on a pig?
15/12/2016 @danielbryantuk
41. Key lessons learned
• Conduct an architectural review
• Architecture for Developers, by Simon Brown
• Architecture Interview, by Susan Fowler
• Look for data ingress/egress
• File system access
• Support resource constraints/transience
• Optimise for quick startup and shutdown
• Evaluate approach to concurrency
• Store configuration (secrets) remotely
15/12/2016 @danielbryantuk
43. Microservices…
Containers and microservices are
complementary
Testing and deployment change

51. In summary
• Continuous delivery is vitally important in modern architectures/ops
• Container images must be the (single) source of truth within pipeline
• Mechanical sympathy is important (assert properties in the pipeline)
• We’re now bundling more responsibility into our artifact (e.g. an OS)
• Not all developers are operationally aware
• The tooling is now becoming stable/mature
• We need to re-apply old CD practices with new technologies/tooling
