OPEN SESSION (CloudX): Achieving True Developer Self-Service in Kubernetes
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.

As artificial intelligence continues to reshape the tech landscape, the most pressing question emerges: Has AI fundamentally altered the realm of API testing? Join us for a dynamic panel discussion where our experts—Arthur and Renata—will delve into the merits and limitations of AI-driven testing versus traditional, human-led approaches. They will cover the topic of how quality and engineering organizations are fundamentally evolving during this time where AI seems to be a hype that is driving a sea change in our world of API first development.

Moderated by a seasoned industry professional, Joanna Schloss, this session will explore key points of contention, including:

Can AI truly replicate the intuition of experienced testers in identifying edge cases?

How do AI-generated test cases compare to manually crafted ones in terms of coverage and reliability?

What are the practical challenges of integrating AI testing tools into existing development workflows?

We will also examine how the rise of AI testing impacts the roles of QA professionals and developers. Engage in this interesting and timely debate as we consider whether API testing is evolving or facing extinction in the age of AI.

In this session, Chief Architect Mike Bowers explains how he dreamt up a new JSON API to replace REST—one that could easily query and manage databases in any language, even without a driver.

Learn how he created and deployed the JSON DB API to POST JSON to a single URL over HTTPS. See just how simple development can be with jsonAction.

Mike will also demo how JSON DB API let’s you:
—Use JSON to manage databases, tables, records, queries, etc.
—Use stateful database sessions and cursors from stateless app servers.
—Run jsonAction commands over HTTPS, WSS, and MQTTS.
—Automatically map data between JSON and SQL.

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 -- 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.
