Rakuten Card, one of the largest credit card companies in Japan, recently renewed its web front-end systems utilizing Java EE. This session provides answers to the following questions: Among the myriad of available technologies, why did it choose Oracle WebLogic and Oracle Exadata, managed by Oracle Enterprise Manager? How did it drive this huge project to completion in only six months, using only in-house development? What were the key success factors in launching and operating this mission-critical service? Hear about its extraordinary improvement results and how its selections are effective for financial enterprise systems.
Many financial entities have been developing applications on cloud infrastructures for some time, but very few have actually started to transform their core systems. In this challenging journey, they should consider seriously the differences in the characteristics of the applications that will enable them to take advantage of these infrastructures.
To begin with, the new core systems must have high modularity, which can be defined in three dimensions: structural, operational and development. Traditional core systems do not have these modularity characteristics, being the main cause that has led to the current complexity and lack of maintainability of current systems.
The use of Hexagonal Architecture can clearly help to provide the necessary features for new core systems.

Cloud-native Data: Every Microservice Needs a Cachecornelia davis
Presented at the Pivotal Toronto Users Group, March 2017
Cloud-native applications form the foundation for modern, cloud-scale digital solutions, and the patterns and practices for cloud-native at the app tier are becoming widely understood – statelessness, service discovery, circuit breakers and more. But little has changed in the data tier. Our modern apps are often connected to monolithic shared databases that have monolithic practices wrapped around them. As a result, the autonomy promised by moving to a microservices application architecture is compromised.
With lessons from the application tier to guide us, the industry is now figuring out what the cloud-native architectural patterns are at the data tier. Join us to explore some of these with Cornelia Davis, a five year Cloud Foundry veteran who is now focused on cloud-native data. As it happens, every microservice needs a cache and this evening will drill deep on that topic. She’ll cover a variety of caching patterns and use cases, and demonstrate how their use helps preserve the autonomy that is driving agile software delivery practices today.

The Rise of Serverless Architecture in Web Development.docxSavior_Marketing
The rise of serverless architecture has been a significant trend in web development in recent years. Serverless architecture is a cloud computing model that allows developers to build and deploy applications without the need to manage traditional server infrastructure
This document discusses modernizing apps using Docker and the 12 Factor methodology. It begins by thanking sponsors and introducing new organizers. It then provides an overview of the evolution of application architectures from the late 90s to today. It notes the benefits of using Docker, such as faster deployments, version tracking, and security. It discusses moving from a monolith application to a microservices architecture using Docker and following the principles of the 12 Factor App methodology to address challenges of distributed systems, rapid deployments, and automation. The 12 factors are then each explained in detail and how Docker can help implement them for building modern, scalable apps.
How to build "AutoScale and AutoHeal" systems using DevOps practices by using modern technologies.
A complete build pipeline and the process of architecting a nearly unbreakable system were part of the presentation.
These slides were presented at 2018 DevOps conference in Singapore. http://claridenglobal.com/conference/devops-sg-2018/
The document discusses serverless computing and NoOps. It begins with an introduction to serverless computing principles, services, and benefits. It then provides examples of serverless architectures for event-driven applications and data processing. The document emphasizes that serverless enables organizations to focus on business logic rather than infrastructure management. It argues that NoOps is the next evolution of DevOps, where infrastructure tasks are fully automated. Finally, it outlines strategies for achieving NoOps in a serverless world, including through observability, automation, security automation, and local testing.
The document discusses the shift towards cloud native application development. Some key points discussed include:
1. Cloud native originated in customer-facing tech companies and emphasizes building applications in, for, and maximizing the benefits of the cloud.
2. When developing new applications, organizations should focus on functional and non-functional requirements to determine the appropriate architecture, runtime environment, and degree of "cloudiness".
3. Cloud native development requires learning new topics like microservices, DevOps, serverless computing, and distributed systems.

Serverless is
the future of
cloud-native
Serverless, or FaaS, is the glue
between the services in a
cloud environment.
Serverless is stateless and
event-driven, provides ease of
scaling, reduces operating
costs, and increases
productivity.

Serverless offers unique benefits, certain
downsides, and new opportunities
5
Benefits Downsides
✔ Ease of scaling
— Serverless computing scales
applications automatically
— Provider takes care of replicating the
application’s functions and distributing
computing resources
✔ Reduced operating costs
— Reduces overprovisioning of servers,
and infrastructure management costs
✔ Productivity
— Developers only need to focus on the
code and the application itself, not the
infrastructure
✔ Decreased time to market
Vendor lock-in
— Users depend on the vendor’s other
services, making switching challenging
Lack of control
— Users are unable to cater computing
environment to application workloads
— Compliance, monitoring, debugging, and
security challenges have changed
Multitenancy
— Shared resources with other customers
can affect performance
Limited run-time capabilities
— Does not offer the same run-time as
containers or VMs
Knative is
allowing
users to
build solutions on
top of Kubernetes,
reducing lock-in
Start-ups have
been building
products to solve
many of these
early problems
6. @underscorevc
Serverless interest and adoption has been largely
driven by the large cloud providers…

1 Microservices
2 Stream & Edge
Processing
3 Batch Processing
4 IT Automation
Perspective Use cases
• Mobile and web apps
• HTTP REST APIs
• Chat bots
• Real-time analytics
• Microservices architectures requires an environment where
applications can be rapidly scaled independently
• The ease of scaling offered by serverless computing is
well-suited for a microservices architecture
• Stream processing requires real-time processing given the
unpredictability of its high volumes of data traffic
• Serverless enables edge processing which requires fast,
real-time response rates
• Scheduled batch processing needs are well-suited for
serverless because they are generally short-run and
requires minimal intervention
• Automated IT tasks can be initiated by serverless functions
because they are event-driven
Serverless is best suited to applications that have, short runtime of code, variable and
infrequent workloads, and are stateless and event-driven
• Real-time file/stream
processing
• Voice-enabled devices
• IoT backend
• CI / CD
• Backup
• Patching
• Data processing
o Jobs requiring intense
parallel compute, IO or
network access

Is Knative
the future of
serverless?
● Knative allows developers to
build and run serverless
applications on Kubernetes
● Knative components enable
users to focus on writing the
code while the components
manage the Build, Serving,
and Eventing
● Knative runs on-premises, in
the cloud, or in a third-party
data centers, and codifies the
best practices shared by
Kubernetes-based
frameworks
9
Knative is a viable
open source
alternative to AWS
Lambda
Overview Key Implications
• Reduced vendor lock-in
— Runs on any infrastructure
that supports Kubernetes,
allowing enterprises to move
their workloads wherever they
run best
• Knative has strong tailwinds
with container adoption shifting
to Kubernetes
— In 2019, Kubernetes is
forecast to overtake ECS in
container orchestration
— On AWS, EKS will have a
larger share than ECS
• Alternatives to AWS Lambda
largely converging on a single
new standard
Note: Knative was developed by Google, in close partnership with Pivotal Software, IBM, and
SAP, and was launched in late 2018.
ECS: Amazon Elastic Container Service (including AWS Fargate).
EKS: Amazon Elastic Container Service for Kubernetes.

What are the barriers to serverless adoption?
Category
10
1 Overall transition to
microservices
architecture
2 Monitoring / Alerting
3 Security
4 Storage
Perspective Opportunities
• Largely consulting, as
opposed to technology
focused
• Traditionally development was with monolithic architecture. IDC
estimates that ~60% of companies have not transitioned to cloud
native, thus are unlikely to adopt serverless
• Serverless adoption will be driven by microservices adoption
• With no access to the underlying infrastructure, monitoring, tracing,
and observability cannot be undertaken with agents, making
traditional logging tools inappropriate
• While serverless transfers many of the security concerns to the
cloud provider, it has also created new security risks that are a blind
spot for most enterprise IT and security leaders
• The stateless nature of serverless makes it difficult to support
applications that have fine-grained state sharing needs
• This is largely due to the limitations of existing storage services
offered by large cloud providers
Serverless computing will grow as along with new risks inherent in both application
disaggregation and multi-tenant resource sharing
• Storage likely to remain
with major vendors
(capital requirements /
security risks)
• IOPipe
• Dashbird
• Protego
• PureSec (acquired)
• Thundra
11. @underscorevc
What does
serverless
need?
11
These are ideas,
largely based on
thoughts from the
developer community,
that would help
adoption
Automation Ideas (RPA) Cloud provider improvements
• Ruby for serverless
— AWS Lambda introduced
support in Nov-18
— Currently still unavailable on
other providers
• Faster “cold starts”
— When an application hasn’t
been used it take longer to
start up, leading to increased
latency
— Especially problematic in Java
and C#, and for enterprises
using VPC’s(1)
• Increased run-times
— Lambda recently increased to
15 minutes
— Azure and Google currently
offer 10 minutes
Note: AWS Lambda natively supports Java, Go, PowerShell, Node.js, C#, Python, and Ruby
code.
(1) Certain enterprises must deploy through VPC’s due to security compliance. This can
add up to 10 seconds on cold starts.
• Refactor at runtime
— A software platform could
analyze code at runtime and
identify slowest parts
— Software then takes this
section of code, creates a
Lambda function,
automatically deploys, and
sets up a SNS trigger
• Deployment automation
— A platform that allows you to
run all serverless function in
one local file
— At deployment, the code is
automatically split and
deployed in a way that make
sense for the app (potentially
like webpack)

Serverless
characteristics
and use cases
Short runtime of code
● Designed to execute code for
seconds or milliseconds, thus not
useful for long-running
applications
Variable and infrequent workloads
● Minimizes infrastructure related
costs for applications that do not
need to be running all of the time
Stateless and event-driven
● Functions are spun up and down
quickly, and data from the
execution is neither saved nor
made available for the next
execution

Serverless Characteristics Serverless Use Cases
Microservices
● Ease of scaling well-suited for a
microservices architecture
Stream & Edge Processing
● Requires fast, real-time responses
of unpredictable data traffic
Batch Processing
● Well-suited as they are generally
short-run and requires minimal
intervention
IT automation
● Tasks such as backup or patching
are well suited as they are
event-driven.
