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.

PRO SESSION (CloudX): Which Vault? Don’t Tell Me Your Secret(s)!
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.

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. 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.

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!

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.

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

PRO SESSION (API): Unleashing GenAI's Potential for Advanced API Linting
Thursday November 7, 2024 9:30am - 9:55am PST
API World -- Workshop Stage B
Sridhar Kunisetty, Equinix, Principal Architect

An API linter plays a crucial role in ensuring that API specifications adhere to established standards, best practices, guidelines, and are free from potential errors. It is an essential component in the development process to ensure that APIs are well-designed, consistent, maintainable, reliable, secure and follow the organization's conventions and guidelines.

We present a new approach to API linting by harnessing the power of Generative AI (GenAI). Our solution involves training a Large Language Model (LLM) to act as an Advanced API Linter, capable of not only answering correctness queries but also analyzing API specifications and providing a comprehensive list of errors, violations, and issues.

Unlike traditional API linters, our GenAI solution eliminates the need for complex validation rules and specialized expertise. By training the LLM with our organization's API standards, best practices, and guidelines, we enable it to understand and enforce these rules effortlessly. Moreover, the training process is straightforward, and we can alternatively provide the necessary content as a context in the prompt to the LLM.

One of the key advantages of our GenAI approach is its user-friendliness. Instead of grappling with new syntax or programming languages to define validation rules, users can express their requirements in plain English. This democratizes API linting, empowering developers to improve API quality through self-service and facilitating the seamless adoption of an API-First approach.

During this session, we will showcase a range of use cases that demonstrate how GenAI can be leveraged to achieve advanced API linting capabilities. Additionally, we will explore the potential of utilizing a Small Language Model (SLM) as an alternative to the LLM, opening up new possibilities for API linting efficiency.

Join us as we unveil the future of API linting, where GenAI revolutionizes the development process, enhances API quality, and empowers developers to build robust and reliable APIs effortlessly.

How could we design an API for querying data across all kinds of sources? How could we describe complex queries that join data across them? This problem is tough enough when all the sources are, say, Postgres, but what about when we need to join data from Postgres to MongoDB? Or an arbitrary CSV file? Or even another API? How do we talk about data access and manipulation in a way that makes sense for all these possible backends?

In this talk, we'll discuss how we've been designing a solution to this problem. We'll talk about some of the challenges in keeping API design consistent across data sources, balancing simplicity and expressivity, and even making all of this performant behind the infinite number shapes that a GraphQL request can take.

Microservices are currently the architecture du jour for building cloud native applications. This session will describe how microservices, each with their own database, can work together to ensure the data they maintain is consistent with the databases of other microservices.

Deciding on a pattern to guarantee data consistency is dependent upon many factors. This session will describe some of those factors and provide practical solutions to ensuring data consistency across a broad range of microservices.

At the completion of this session, attendees should understand that it's more important to determine the context and requirements for their application than just going with the current mantra. Hopefully this will lead them to consider simpler design patterns that have been discarded for no other reason than someone decided they're an anti-pattern.

Hugo Guerrero, Red Hat, Sr Principal Developer Advocate

Locationless API management is a paradigm shift in API governance and security. This innovative approach allows organizations to efficiently manage their APIs distributed across multiple clouds and clusters without exposing them publicly over the internet. Instead, it leverages a sophisticated layer seven service network, offering a secure and seamless solution for API management. By operating locationless, businesses can maintain a high degree of control and privacy over their APIs, mitigating the risks associated with public exposure while facilitating efficient communication between services across diverse deployment environments.

A Layer 7 service network provides the necessary infrastructure to establish secure connections between services, regardless of location. Through this network, APIs can be efficiently managed and accessed within a controlled environment, ensuring that sensitive data and functionalities remain protected. This locationless API management approach not only enhances security but also streamlines operations, as it minimizes the complexities of public-facing API management. As organizations continue to prioritize data privacy and security, locationless API management, powered by technologies like a Layer 7 service network, emerges as a game-changing solution that empowers businesses to securely manage and utilize their APIs without the need for public internet exposure.

Thursday November 7, 2024 2:30pm - 2:55pm PST
API World -- Workshop Stage A
Vangelis Stykas, Atropos, CTO

In this talk, we delve deep into the increasingly interconnected world of electronic vehicles (EVs), photovoltaic (PV) solar systems, and the broader power grid infrastructure—a nexus that is becoming a fertile ground for potential large-scale cyber disruptions. As we navigate through this complex interplay of technology and infrastructure, we will uncover the critical vulnerabilities lurking within the API connections that bind these systems together. Our exploration will not only highlight these weaknesses but will also demonstrate, through real-world scenarios and potential attack vectors, how they can be exploited to launch sophisticated cyber-attacks, emphasizing the urgent need for robust security frameworks and proactive cybersecurity measures to safeguard our collective future.
The advent of PV inverters and EV charging systems has been marred by the industry's "rush to market" mentality, leading to overlooked security considerations. These critical weaknesses potentially allow remote attackers unprecedented control, with the ability to fully commandeer or even incapacitate these devices. Our investigation will reveal how targeting cloud platforms used by installers could unlock elevated access not just to PV inverters but also to EV chargers. This access includes functionalities usually restricted from the systems' proprietors, thereby opening a pandora's box of vulnerabilities.

At Salesforce, our team does Kubernetes deployments at the petabyte scale, with 100+ clusters, 10000+ pods, and 25+ PiB of provisioned storage and innumerable Kubernetes jobs. Operating at this massive scale necessitates an approach that reduces engineering toil. Maintaining such mammoth clusters while keeping security in mind is a whole different challenge.

We specifically talk about how and why we picked immutability and Infra-as-code as the cornerstone of our design and the challenges around it. Immutability provides security and scalability and eliminates config drift. Infra-as-code guarantees that changes to our infrastructure follow the same software lifecycle. but the trade-off is a lack of flexibility to adapt to changing requirements.

In this talk, we go over the unique design choices that help us manage, grow, and configure petabyte-scale deployments at Salesforce.

Tuesday November 12, 2024 12:00pm - 12:25pm PST
VIRTUAL API World -- Workshop Stage A
Ryota Sawada, Civo, Principal Engineer

The CNCF ecosystem has exploded with a diverse array of tools, each solving a unique problem. However, integrating multiple projects often leads to challenges requiring manual intervention and custom solutions, with shell scripting commonly used as a temporary stopgap. This approach, predominantly utilising Bash, frequently results in maintenance headaches such as poor code readability and debugging difficulties.

Nushell presents a modern take on shell scripting, offering a more intuitive syntax by dropping POSIX-compliance. It includes YAML friendly data model as a fundamental design, built-in commands equivalent to curl and jq, supports simple and clear module structures, and eliminates the confusion of single vs. double quotes.

We will have a quick look at Bash vs. Nushell difference, some example case of how Nushell data model makes it easier to deal with YAML configs, and extra automation and CI/CD ideas using its module and test capabilities.

Tom Harding, Hasura, Software Engineer

How could we design an API for querying data across all kinds of sources? How could we describe complex queries that join data across them? This problem is tough enough when all the sources are, say, Postgres, but what about when we need to join data from Postgres to MongoDB? Or an arbitrary CSV file? Or even another API? How do we talk about data access and manipulation in a way that makes sense for all these possible backends?

In this talk, we'll discuss how we've been designing a solution to this problem. We'll talk about some of the challenges in keeping API design consistent across data sources, balancing simplicity and expressivity, and even making all of this performant behind the infinite number shapes that a GraphQL request can take.

[Virtual] PRO SESSION (Dev Innovation): You’re Not Hallucinating: How to Optimize AI Reliability with 100% Open Source Vector Databases
Wednesday November 13, 2024 10:00am - 10:50am PST
VIRTUAL 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.

Gabriel Schulhof, Auction.com, Senior Software Engineer

Two aspects of resolvers have an outsized influence on their performance: the size of the execution context, and the way we compute their value. In the Node.js implementation of graphql, promises wrapping primitive values are especially disruptive, since they add a large computing overhead. The context size creates a memory usage baseline that can rise very quickly with even small additions to the context, when there are many concurrent contexts. The execution can create temporary objects, increasing memory usage. Often-run resolvers, such as those responsible for filling out large arrays of objects, can become performance bottlenecks.

At Auction.com, our search results page (SRP) requests up to 500 items of roughly 80 fields each. The query resolving these fields was suffering a high latency. We shall examine the tools to instrument our code and identify memory usage and CPU utilization bottlenecks.

Our realtime elements (e.g. realtime updates to the status of currently viewed properties) are implemented using a translation of kafka messages to graphql updates. We shall present the tools and procedures to reduce memory usage and CPU usage when fanning out such messages.

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.

Wednesday November 13, 2024 2:30pm - 2:55pm PST
VIRTUAL API World -- Workshop Stage A
Wilhelm Haaker, Parasoft, Director, Solution Engineering, Functional

Continuous testing serves as the cornerstone for modern software development, facilitating the rapid delivery of high-quality software. Yet, as projects grow in complexity and testing scope, achieving the delicate balance between frequent releases and uncompromised quality becomes increasingly challenging. The methodology of short development iterations often clashes with the necessity of rigorous regression testing, threatening to erode the foundation of continuous testing.

In this session, we’ll discuss how to overcome the hurdles that impede achieving continuous testing at scale. Drawing from industry experience and best practices, we’ll tackle:

Too many UI tests. Explore innovative approaches to reduce dependence on UI testing, optimizing test coverage across the SDLC for efficiency and reliability.

Too many tests in general. Reduce the constantly increasing weight of regression tests that compromise QA's ability to keep up with development by adopting strategies that uphold testing effectiveness without sacrificing velocity.

Test environment constraints. Confront the challenges stemming from test environment availability and controllability through the strategic application of service virtualization.

Join us as we unravel the intricacies of continuous testing at scale, equipping your team with the tools and insights necessary to embrace a paradigm shift toward accelerated delivery without compromising on quality.

[Virtual] PRO SESSION (Dev Innovation): .NET Apps Everywhere, at 5X the Speed
Wednesday November 13, 2024 2:30pm - 2:55pm PST
VIRTUAL 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.

Wednesday November 13, 2024 3:00pm - 3:25pm PST
VIRTUAL 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.

[Virtual] PRO SESSION (API): Empowering Concurrent Development of Distributed Systems with GenAI-Assisted API Spec Management
Wednesday November 13, 2024 3:30pm - 3:55pm PST
VIRTUAL 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

[Virtual] PRO SESSION (API): Eliminating Complexity While Ensuring Data Consistency
Thursday November 14, 2024 1:30pm - 1:55pm PST
VIRTUAL API World -- Workshop Stage A
Todd Little, Oracle, Chief Architect Oracle Transaction Processing Products

Microservices are currently the architecture du jour for building cloud native applications. This session will describe how microservices, each with their own database, can work together to ensure the data they maintain is consistent with the databases of other microservices.
Deciding on a pattern to guarantee data consistency is dependent upon many factors. This session will describe some of those factors and provide practical solutions to ensuring data consistency across a broad range of microservices.
At the completion of this session, attendees should understand that it's more important to determine the context and requirements for their application than just going with the current mantra. Hopefully this will lead them to consider simpler design patterns that have been discarded for no other reason than someone decided they're an anti-pattern.
