Wednesday November 6, 2024 10:00am - 10:25am PST

CloudX -- Expo Innovation Stage

Jan Lepsky, mogenius GmbH, Co-founder and CPO

Today, software teams frequently face significant challenges with Kubernetes operations. Developers often grapple with limited visibility, constrained independence, and restricted access to resources within Kubernetes environments. Concurrently, DevOps teams are tasked with daily support duties such as provisioning environments, monitoring usage, and managing governance across multiple clusters, which prevents them from focusing on core DevOps initiatives. These issues contribute to a poor developer experience, reduced productivity, and increased frustration within teams. This talk will delve into strategies for enabling developer self-service in Kubernetes, emphasizing how to maintain both flexibility and control over infrastructure to enhance overall efficiency and satisfaction.

PRO SESSION (Dev Innovation): You’re Not Hallucinating: How to Optimize AI Reliability with 100% Open Source Vector Databases

Wednesday November 6, 2024 10:00am - 10:50am PST

Dev Innovation Summit -- Main Stage

Anil Inamdar, Instaclustr by NetApp, Head of Data Solutions

For dev teams building and training their own AI models, ending up with AI solutions plagued by hallucinations and reliability issues is a (rightfully) huge concern. The good news: vector databases make generative AI considerably more reliable and less prone to hallucinations. The even better news: a number of *100% free and open source* vector databases are especially great options for supporting AI workloads.

The good news keeps coming for teams considering an open source vector database path: it isn’t necessary to invest in implementing new or exotic or proprietary or specialized data-layer solutions to harness vector databases. Many enterprises will find that their existing infrastructure can already support AI workloads (while continuing to provide the familiar data availability, scalability, and performance they already know they can trust). In particular, PostgreSQL (with the pgvector extension), OpenSearch, and Apache Cassandra 5.0 (with its new native vector indexing) are three completely open source technologies—no proprietary or open core solutions needed—that tick all the boxes for meeting enterprises’ AI workloads requirements.

Attendees of this Dev Innovation Summit session will learn how open source vector databases utilize vector embeddings to enable more accurate LLMs, and how to strategically approach and implement retrieval augmented generation (RAG) processes. Attendees will also come away with a clear understanding of the advantages offered by PostgreSQL with pgvector, OpenSearch and Cassandra 5.0 as particularly mature open source vector database strategies ready to jumpstart your organization’s competitive AI capabilities.

Wednesday November 6, 2024 10:30am - 10:55am PST

CloudX -- Stage 1

Michel Schildmeijer, SSC-ICT, Lead Technologist

Secret management is a crucial aspect of DevOps, as it involves the protection of sensitive data that is used by applications and services. Secrets can include API keys, credentials, tokens, certificates, and passwords that grant access to various resources and systems. If these secrets are compromised, attackers can exploit them to cause damage, steal information, or disrupt operations.
One of the challenges of secret management is how to securely store, distribute, and rotate secrets in a dynamic and distributed environment. Traditional methods of hard-coding secrets in configuration files or environment variables are not secure, scalable, or reliable. Moreover, secrets need to be updated frequently to comply with security policies and regulations, and to prevent unauthorized access.
To address these challenges, several tools and frameworks have been developed to provide secret management solutions for DevOps.
These tools can help DevOps teams to implement best practices for secret management.

PRO SESSION (API): cURL to SDKs: Navigating the API Adoption Chasm

Wednesday November 6, 2024 11:00am - 11:25am PST

API World -- Workshop Stage B

Sid Maestre, APIMatic, VP Developer Relations

As API adoption becomes increasingly pivotal for companies, understanding the evolution from cURL commands to robust Software Development Kits (SDKs) is paramount. Your initial developer experience may focus on API reference docs with cURL commands, but as you scale, you'll need to help developers beyond “Hello World.” Discover the pivotal role SDKs play in propelling developers towards production-ready solutions.

However, building and maintaining an effective SDK program can be resource-intensive. This talk will address this challenge by demonstrating the key – SDK generation. Learn how your OpenAPI definition can serve as a source of truth, enabling the automated generation of SDK libraries in multiple languages, comprehensive documentation, and illustrative code samples. Join us as we explore the transformative potential of SDK generation as the linchpin in crossing the API Adoption Chasm.

A single-vendor strategy can offer exceptional scalability and reliability by leveraging deep expertise and tight integration with a specific cloud provider. We will delve into the benefits of this approach, including optimized performance, streamlined operations, and the potential risks of vendor dependency.

On the other hand, a multi-cloud approach enhances resilience, avoids vendor lock-in, and provides cost optimization opportunities. This session will examine how to manage the complexities of integrating multiple cloud services, ensuring interoperability, and achieving operational agility.

Attendees will gain valuable insights into the trade-offs and strategic considerations involved in choosing a cloud strategy. Whether your organization is leaning towards the agility of multi-provider solutions or the specialized focus of single-vendor expertise, this talk will equip you with the knowledge to navigate the complexities of cloud management effectively.

PRO SESSION (CloudX): How We Implemented Zero Trust Security Using Cilium

Wednesday November 6, 2024 11:00am - 11:25am PST

CloudX -- Stage 1

Lakmal Warusawithana, WSO2, Technology Evangelist

Implementing a zero trust approach is essential for security, as it involves verifying and validating every request, irrespective of its origin or location.

In the initial implementation of Choreo, our internal Developer Platform as a Service, we faced challenges in controlling all network access and enforcing authentication, authorization, and seamless network traffic encryption at scale, which is vital for the Choreo cloud service. However, by employing Cilium, K8s, and a cell-based architecture, we were able to develop a scalable platform that upholds zero trust security principles.

The combination of Cilium's eBPF-powered layer 3, 4, and 7 network policies, Hubble Observability, IPSec security, and a cell-based architecture enabled us to address all the critical elements of a zero trust platform successfully.

In this talk, I will detail all the challenges we faced and the strategies we employed to overcome them.

Ever felt like RunBooks are just bandaids for tech mishaps? They pop up after an incident and only help when the same gremlins strike again. But where’s the RunBook for leveling up your troubleshooting game (fast)? Every company is a unique beast with its own architecture, tech stacks, and dependency webs. Scrambling to link faces with systems and knowing who to call during a crisis can be stressful.
And then there’s the real kicker: How do you gauge the true business fallout from an outage, and and determine the best course of action? What if Observability Tools could pull something like your IDE, learning from “anonymous usage stats” to improve over time for everyone on the team? Imagine tapping into the instincts of senior engineers and sharing their troubleshooting savvy across the board.

KEYNOTE (CLOUDX): CloudZero -- Streamlining the Digital Factory: Lean Cloud Computing for Next-Gen Software Development

Wednesday November 6, 2024 1:30pm - 1:55pm PST

CloudX -- Main Stage

Erik Peterson, CloudZero, CTO & Founder

The cloud-centric world has turned every line of code into a buying decision and highlighted the economic aspects of software design. After first struggling with the ramifications of this, (and a meager $3000.00 budget on my first cloud project in 2009) I discovered how cloud economics presented an opportunity to merge efficiency concepts taken from classic manufacturing with modern software engineering and architecture.

Since that time we have seen an industry wide focus on cloud cost management and new practices like FinOps emerge, but few have explored how to apply cloud economics directly to modern DevOps practices resulting in million dollar lines of code and unprofitable system design that has soured some on cloud computing as a whole. My experience however has been very different. I will share the lessons I've learned over the last 15 years treating cost as a key non-functional requirement during development.

By integrating the Theory of Constraints, Lean Manufacturing, and unit economics, alongside cloud cost efficiency goals and performance as crucial inputs, I will share a strategy that fosters continuous improvement and boosts profitability under current consumption-based cloud pricing models. This approach ensures an economical path from concept to deployment, and ongoing operations, without compromising innovation and time-to-market.

Dev Innovation Summit -- Main Stage

Dev Agrawal, Smart Data, Software Engineer

What would you envision your futuristic web framework to be like? What kind of properties would it have, and what would it enable for you?

For me, the future of web frameworks should be performant by default, developer friendly, minimal but flexible to business needs, and use both the client and the server runtimes to their maximum potential.

It’s a tough criteria, and most frameworks fail to meet a lot of these requirements. However, Solid Start is a relatively new framework that checks all of these boxes, aims for a very high ceiling, and has already inspired many popular frameworks to add similar features.

Let’s take a look at the shape of frameworks to come in this session by building a sample application with Solid Start, witness its incredible UX and DX capabilities, and how it compares to other frameworks like Next.js and Astro.

Dev Innovation Summit -- Main Stage

Steve Bilogan, Uno Platform, Senior Engineer

Developing cross-platform applications is complex. Some frameworks allow us to share the business logic and some go further and allow us to share the UI layer. But even then – working with device hardware requires developers familiar with each target platform to maintain it and can still lead to error-prone platform-specific code.

What if you could write it all in either C# or XAML, from any dev environment, deploy to any platform, at 5x the speed, and have it all pixel-perfect without any lock-in? Enter Uno Platform, an open-source project enabling amazing dev productivity for building Windows, Android, iOS, macOS, Linux, and WebAssembly apps!

In this session, we will provide a brief overview of what Uno Platform is and how it works before we take a deep dive under the hood and see where the magic happens.

Swagger and OpenAPI revolutionized the API landscape and created a thriving ecosystem of developer tools, from IDEs to contract testing and no-code solutions. In our projects (WireMock, Jenkins, Testcontainers and WireMock Cloud) we adopted OpenAPI to provide a great developer, and achieved great results. At the same time, the v3 version of specification has too many limitations, especially when it comes to behavior modeling: limited extensions framework, poor response flexibility limiting complex API options, and weak examples and self documentation capabilities. Good news is that OpenAPI v4 (Project Moonwalk) addresses many of those concerns and, hopefully, could address others before the release. Let’s, wearing our end user hats, discuss the v3 experiences and how we could address them in the upcoming major release!

Sourav Khandelwal, Databricks, Sr Software Engineer

Managing a vast fleet of Kubernetes clusters across multiple cloud providers like AWS, Azure, and GCP is often fraught with inefficient manual processes involving scripts and pipelines. These methods are time-consuming, error-prone, and consume valuable engineering resources. In this session, I will present how we addressed these challenges at Databricks by developing an automated system for the lifecycle management of over a thousand multi-cloud-managed Kubernetes clusters.
Our solution features a Kubernetes-style continuous reconciliation mechanism for cluster provisioning and deprovisioning, a fast and reliable cluster state change discovery system integrated with Databricks’ product services, and blue-green cluster rotations (cluster swaps) that allow for seamless upgrades by creating new clusters with updated configurations and shifting workloads without downtime.
This automation enables us to implement major infrastructure changes and upgrade Kubernetes versions with low risk through staged rollouts, seamless rollbacks, zero downtime, and minimal operator intervention. I will share our methodologies and experiences in constructing this loosely coupled system that orchestrates product workloads and cloud provider APIs.

Wednesday November 6, 2024 3:00pm - 3:25pm PST

CloudX -- Stage 1

Ramiro Berrelleza, Okteto, Founder

We've been told to look for long-lasting things and products, but one thing that's better when it's short-lived and ephemeral is: ephemeral development environments.

Development environments refer to the tools and platforms developers use to write, test, and debug their code. In today's fast-paced technology world, developers must be able to adapt quickly and efficiently, which is where ephemeral development environments come in handy.

This talk will cover and show the advantages of these environments over traditional setups:

- easy to experiment with different ideas
- no pains of dependency management
- easily replicable and maintainable thanks to version control
- always up to date and secure
- reduces clutter and technical debt

The talk will also connect these advantages to real-world outcomes organizations care about - developer productivity and happiness, and time to market.

OPEN SESSION (API): Automated Retry Strategy: A Smart Way to Provision Cloud Resources

Wednesday November 6, 2024 3:00pm - 3:25pm PST

CloudX -- Expo Innovation Stage

Vicky Deliwala, Cisco Systems, Software Engineering Leader

In the modern era of the cloud environment, users needs to think about handling the temporary service interruptions caused by API and micro-services failure.
As the applications interact with remote services and cloud resources, transient faults are more likely to be encountered.
Events such as API’s throttle limits, connection failures, Quota exhaustion, power outage etc. can lead to such unwanted
faults and not so good user experience.

The best practice in such scenarios is to come up with an automated and intelligent retry mechanism which can hide the temporary exceptions from the customers. Challenges faced while designing such strategy are fault identification, tracking
Retry counter, appropriate log instrumentation and custom fallback. This presentation will focus on defining a smart Retry strategy along with specific guidelines to overcome
such challenges gracefully. Through a deep dive into real world scenario, this session will walk-through the design/architecture of RESTful API’s to provision OpenStack VMs along with NoSQL. It will showcase the profound Retry Logic implementation
using the Cron job and scheduler which can significantly improve user experience.

Most important things that people will learn from presentation:

- Transient failures in cloud native apps and how to utilize smart and profound logic to mitigate those challenges.
- Walk through the workflow of a real life scenario to understand the best practices in integrating automated Retry strategy while designing API driven micro-services.

Wednesday November 6, 2024 3:30pm - 3:55pm PST

API World -- Workshop Stage B

Matthew Bae, Deloitte, Specialist Lead in API & Integration Offering

Modern integration techniques, typically implemented through APIs and Microservices, play a pivotal role in propelling digital transformation initiatives. These deployments often occur in highly distributed environments, where a large number of small APIs and Microservices are simultaneously developed by different teams.

This simultaneous development can present challenges such as coordination among teams and delays due to waiting for other teams' completion. Overcoming these challenges requires distributed development techniques like design-first approaches and test-driven methodologies. In these methods, interface specifications written in a common structured language serve as the "contract" to manage interface agreements between applications. These interface contracts, which are machine-readable, and version controlled, facilitate trust among teams and allow parallel development and testing of applications in an early stage of the application development lifecycle. The contracts also aid in dependency management, planning for integrated testing, and releases of all related APIs and Microservices.

This session discusses a GenAI-assisted solution to standardize the development of API specifications, and automate the publishing of versioned, traceable API documentation in an API catalog portal. This pro

Wednesday November 6, 2024 3:30pm - 3:55pm PST

Dev Innovation Summit -- Main Stage

Irina Nazarova, Evil Martians, CEO

When we launched AnyCable Pro in 2021, our goal was to grow our open source WebSocket infrastructure project, while also making this work successful commercially. We started building what people asked for, and witnessed their tastes in real-time shift from GraphQL to simpler HTML-over-the-wire, from notifications and chats to more complex collaboration UI, and finally to the AI-powered text and voice apps. Let’s reflect on our journey and things that worked, and glimpse into the future of AnyCable and real-time applications.

OPEN SESSION (API): Scaling Data Management at Netflix: The Power of Data Abstractions

Wednesday November 6, 2024 3:30pm - 3:55pm PST

API World -- Expo Discovery Stage

Raj Ummadisetty, Netflix, Senior Software Engineer
Vidhya Arvind, Netflix, Staff Software Engineer

Managing data at Netflix scale presents unique challenges, especially with multiple applications requiring diverse databases. Traditional methods risk database sprawl, fragmented knowledge, and redundant efforts. Netflix's Data Access team addresses these issues with Data Abstractions, creating a streamlined data access layer.

Our paved path abstractions—KeyValue, Time Series, Graph, and more—offer robust APIs that hide underlying database complexities. Application teams simply specify their access patterns and requirements, and select the appropriate abstraction. Our platform then handles capacity planning, hardware provisioning, and database deployment.

Data Abstractions allow us to transparently switch databases, ensuring optimal performance and scalability as use cases evolve. This approach has enabled one of the largest database migrations at Netflix, completely transparent to the client. This innovative approach allows Netflix to maintain a high level of service reliability and operational efficiency, even as new database technologies emerge.

Learning objectives
1) Gain a comprehensive understanding of what Data Abstractions are and how they simplify database management by providing a robust data access layer.
2) Discover how Netflix's platform handles capacity planning and hardware provisioning based on application teams' specified access patterns and requirements.
3) Explore the architecture, scale, and novel techniques employed by Netflix to operate Data Abstractions reliably at massive scale.

KEYNOTE (API): Imperva -- API Security from Runtime to Security Testing: Avoid Common Data Protection Pitfalls

Wednesday November 6, 2024 4:00pm - 4:25pm PST

API World -- Main Stage

Madhusudhan Reddy, Imperva, Sr. Product Manager for Runtime Application Self Protection (RASP) and API Security

It is becoming more common for practitioners of API Security Testing to leverage runtime data to enhance their capability to discover business logic and API specific vulnerabilities. While runtime data are critical to overcome the limitation of static analysis, the data collection itself can raise real concerns over data privacy protection, especially when it can be seen as a breach of the compartmentalization between runtime and dev environments. In this talk you will learn best practices for the runtime API Security component to generate tests without jeopardizing data.

OPEN SESSION (CloudX): Is Your Engineering Org Really Prepared for the GenAI Revolution?!

Wednesday November 6, 2024 4:00pm - 4:25pm PST

CloudX -- Main Stage

Yishai Beeri, LinearB, CTO

GenAI has gone from generally available, novel technology to widely adopted in a matter of months. Most engineering organizations are using GenAI to generate code, write tests, and assist in code reviews. New code is becoming dirt cheap to write - but our delivery pipelines remain miserably unprepared for the tsunami of new code flowing at a much more rapid pace.

Our current pipelines need a hard reset to prepare us for the GenAI revolution - and engineering managers need to get started TODAY.

This talk will dive into where GenAI is starting to break down our delivery pipelines. While scaling CI/CD is easy, and we can always add a few more workers, scaling the humans in the process is the hard part. This talk will demonstrate how massive amounts of new machine-generated code will impact our pipelines, in ways that will require either greater headcount, or smarter, automated pipelines. You'll come away with ideas for how to modernize your delivery pipeline so you can fully embrace the GenAI revolution.
