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
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.

PRO SESSION (CloudX): Which Vault? Don’t Tell Me Your Secret(s)!
Wednesday November 6, 2024 10:30am - 10:55am PST
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 (CloudX): How We Implemented Zero Trust Security Using Cilium
Wednesday November 6, 2024 11:00am - 11:25am PST
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.

Wednesday November 6, 2024 1:00pm - 1:25pm PST
Ruchir Jha, Cardinal, CEO

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. My talk dives into how Retrieval Augmented Techniques (RAG) in AI can make this more seamless in reality.

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.

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!

Baruch Sadogursky, Gradle, Principal Developer Productivity Engineering Advocate
Laura Kassovic, Gradle, Tech Writer

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!

PRO SESSION (CloudX): Ephemeral Development Environment: Sometimes Short-Lived Isn't All That
Wednesday November 6, 2024 3:00pm - 3:25pm PST
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.

PRO SESSION (API): Empowering Concurrent Development of Distributed Systems with GenAI-Assisted API Spec Management
Wednesday November 6, 2024 3:30pm - 3:55pm PST
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

PRO SESSION (CloudX): Mastering Latency: Efficient Data Processing through Tiered Storage Techniques
Wednesday November 6, 2024 3:30pm - 3:55pm PST
Rayees Pasha, RisingWave Labs, Head of Product

In this talk, I focus on addressing the high latency issues associated with Cloud storage in data processing systems that employ a decoupled compute and storage architecture. We delve into the root causes of latency in this context and explore various techniques to minimize the impact of object storage latency on stream processing performance. Our proposed approach is to implement a tiered storage mechanism that leverages a blend of high-performance and low-cost storage tiers to reduce data movement between the compute and storage layers while maintaining efficient processing.

We will present experimental results that demonstrate the effectiveness of our approach in mitigating the impact of Cloud storage latency on data processing. By the end of the talk, attendees will have gained insights into how to optimize their data processing systems for reduced latency and improved cost-efficiency.

PRO SESSION (Dev Innovation): Evolution of Real-Time and AnyCable
Wednesday November 6, 2024 3:30pm - 3:55pm PST
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.
