Sitecore Development Approach Evolution – Destination Helix
Sitecore officially recommended Helix as a set of overall design principles and conventions for Sitecore development around 18 month ago at SUGCON 2016 alongside with an official implementation example - Habitat. Why was it necessary? What are the benefits? Has it worked in practice? Peter Nazarov will share the outlook on why and how a combination of Sitecore Helix and Habitat benefits the business and development users of Sitecore in practice.
Tokyo Azure Meetup #7 - Introduction to Serverless Architectures with Azure F...Tokyo Azure Meetup
Serverless architecture is the next big shift in computing - completely abstracting the underlying infrastructure and focusing 100% on the business logic.
Today we can create applications directly in our browser and leave the decision how they are hosted and scaled to the cloud provider. Moreover, this approach give us incredible control over the granularity of our applications since most of the time we are dealing with single function at a time.
In this presentation we will cover:
• Introduce Serverless Architectures
• Talk about the advantages of Serverless Architectures
• Discuss in details in event-driven computing
• Cover common Serverless approaches
• See practical applications with Azure Functions
• Compare AWS Lambda and Azure Functions
• Talk about open source alternatives
• Explore the relation between Microservices and Serverless Architectures
This presentation discusses the interoperability options between SAP portal and MicroSoft Sharepoint portal. This is first part of 2 part series, where options from SAP perspective are mentioned.

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.

Elevating Tactical DDD Patterns Through Object CalisthenicsDorra BARTAGUIZ
After immersing yourself in the blue book and its red counterpart, attending DDD-focused conferences, and applying tactical patterns, you're left with a crucial question: How do I ensure my design is effective? Tactical patterns within Domain-Driven Design (DDD) serve as guiding principles for creating clear and manageable domain models. However, achieving success with these patterns requires additional guidance. Interestingly, we've observed that a set of constraints initially designed for training purposes remarkably aligns with effective pattern implementation, offering a more ‘mechanical’ approach. Let's explore together how Object Calisthenics can elevate the design of your tactical DDD patterns, offering concrete help for those venturing into DDD for the first time!

Wireframe
Import
Design /
Theme
Finished
Site
…enabling multiple teams to work in parallel (agencies, developers, content authors)
7. SXA – Few additional points
• Architected, designed and implemented with adherence to Helix principles
• Developers can build custom components adhering to SXA architecture and
design
• Currently tied to the 960 Grid system
• Lookout for:
• Supporting other CSS frameworks through a plug-in based architecture
• Additions to the component library?
• Needs a separate license
8. Publishing in Sitecore – Challenges
• Very expensive to run publishing; performance issues on large scale
implementations
• Even with parallel publishing…
• Even more long to complete a publish when having
• Multiple languages
• Multiple publishing targets, with geo-located targets making it worse
• Dedicated publishing instance required extra Sitecore license
9. Sitecore Publishing Service
• A new, ground-up developed add-on solution from Sitecore providing high-speed
publishing
• Default Sitecore installation will continue to use the legacy approach
• Installed as a standalone service – IIS or Console app
• Does the actual publishing
• Creates new tables and SPs in the database
• Built on .NET Core
•Sitecore Publishing Service
• Installed on Sitecore instance as any standard module
• Provides publish dialogs, publishing dashboards
• Communicates with publishing service endpoint
•Sitecore Publishing Module
10. Solution Breakdown
• Move away from “single content item publish” to a “bulk publish” approach
• 8753 API calls to 11 API calls for a single item publish
• Watch-out: any custom publish pipeline processors will no longer work; can
hook into publish completion events
• Parallel promote
• Move media and items together
• Publish to targets in parallel
• Transactional capability; rollback on failure
13. Sitecore Publishing Service – Lookout For…
• Ability to run Publishing Service as a Windows Service
• High availability of publishing service through Warm Standby option
• More documentation around extensibility / customization?
14. Sitecore on Azure
• First class support for Sitecore on Azure coming in the next few months
• Azure Resource Manager (ARM) templates being made available for the
following Sitecore deployment configuration:
• Session State – Azure Redis Cache
• Search – Azure Search
• Database – SQL Azure
• Logging and Telemetry – Application Insights
• Support for various scalable deployment topologies
15. xConnect
• Capture interactions
and events across
online and
offline touchpoints
• Collect and act on any information about any individual – from any channel at
any time
• Unified API to interact with Contacts and their Interactions; so any interaction
with xDB will be using xConnect
16. Sitecore Commerce
• Current Sitecore Commerce offerings
• Powered by Commerce Server – since v7.2
• Powered by Microsoft Dynamics – since v8.0
• Sitecore Commerce vNext
• Completely ground up development of commerce capabilities in Sitecore and
built on ASP.NET Core
• No more “powered by” Commerce Server or Dynamics AX
• Integral partner of Sitecore Experience Platform
• Continues to use the Commerce Connect API
• Plan to be released by end of the year / early next year
18. Data Exchange Framework
• A new framework to support exchanging data between Sitecore and any external
systems
• The intent is to have everyone build integrations in a consistent / standardized
way
• Product catalog import into Sitecore CMS from Sitecore Commerce vNext uses
the Data Exchange Framework
Example Source Target
Read contacts from a CRM and create contacts in xDB CRM Sitecore
Update a contact in CRM using information from a contact in xDB Sitecore CRM
Create items in Sitecore that represent products in a catalog PIM Sitecore
19. Sitecore Data Services
• Content as a Service (CaaS) through OData compliant micro services and token
based authentication
• Sitecore’s attempt to enter into the “Headless CMS” space
• Based on .NET Core
•Item Web API
• Legacy approach
Sitecore Services Client
• More of a framework to build
RESTful services
Data Services
• OData compliant
20. Helix and Habitat
http://helix.sitecore.net/
•Helix
• Principles, conventions, design patterns and recommended best practices for modular and
multi-tenant Sitecore implementations
• Sitecore advises you to follow Helix principles, but not mandated
• Sitecore also trying to internalize this and is evident with the SXA implementation
which uses Helix principles
https://github.com/sitecore/habitat
Habitat
• A reference implementation to demonstrate the use of Helix principles
• Not meant as an accelerator; for that, consider SXA
21. Sitecore Nuget Feed
• Sitecore libraries are now available through a
public NuGet repository
• Feed for Sitecore version 7.2 and above
are available, including a few add-on modules
• This is only for Sitecore assemblies and not for
Sitecore items
• Can leverage this in Build and Deployments
tasks
• https://sitecore.myget.org/gallery/sc-packages
22. .NET Core Strategy
• Sitecore appears to make attempts to align all their ground-up development with
.NET Core
• Publishing Service, Sitecore Commerce vNext, Data Services and xConnect (?)
are a few examples
• Do not expect core Sitecore product to be converted to .NET Core anytime soon;
it would be a huge undertaking
23. References
• Content and images in some of the slides have been referred from:
• Decks used in Sitecore Symposium, 2016
