Fernando Rocha, Diagrid, Customer Success Engineer
Starting a new project can be daunting. Choosing a technology for messaging, storage, workflows (and others) is a big commitment that takes time for developers. An ever increasing number of libraries, frameworks, cloud services and infrastructure lead to code sprawl, refactoring, lock-in, and security vulnerabilities, forcing developers to become experts of everything and ship code that’s hard to maintain. Switching between technologies is a risky, incredibly complex, and costly process. The flexibility is there, but it has a big price.
Meet Catalyst!
Powered by Dapr (Distributed Application Runtime), the 12th largest Cloud Native Computing Foundation project, Catalyst provides developers with APIs that remain consistent while the underlying infrastructure can be swapped out with little to no code changes. For teams using multiple programming languages or running in multiple clouds, Catalyst provides a single API for interacting with the underlying infrastructure, drastically reducing the amount of code and maintenance you’re on the hook for. Not only that, these APIs already embed best practices on security and reliability. If that's not amazing enough, Catalyst runs as-a-service, so there’s nothing to install or manage!
Join us to learn how Catalyst can add infrastructure flexibility, zero trust security, and fault tolerance to your distributed solutions with no extra development time!

The infrastructure of major cloud providers and private data centers spans countries and continents. This makes it possible to build multi-region microservices that serve user requests with low latency from nearly anywhere, tolerate all sorts of possible outages, and comply with data regulatory requirements.
This hands-on session introduces you to design patterns for building scalable and fault-tolerant microservices that span distant locations. You'll learn the patterns by building a sample microservices. We'll start with a traditional single-region configuration and then switch to a multi-region setting. In the end, we'll have a working prototype of an microservices that handles user traffic with low latency in North America, Europe, and Australia.

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.

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.

Have you ever wondered what it takes to create resilient and highly available platform services that support mission-critical software systems? Please join me to find out how you can set the right strategy and foundational architecture for building platform services that businesses can trust for their most critical workloads.
Payment systems that support real-time transaction processing are expected to be highly available and highly responsive 24/7/365. These systems must be fault-tolerant and resilient to any failures that might happen during payment transaction processing. Mission-critical payment systems with distributed architecture often depend on platform services like distributed caching, messaging, event streaming, databases, etc. that should be independently designed for high availability and fault tolerance. In this talk, I’ll share the approach we took for architecting and designing platform services within the payments domain that can be applied to any domain that supports business-critical processes. This methodological approach starts with establishing a capability view for platform services and then defining the implementation and physical views. You’ll also gain an understanding of other aspects of platform services like provisioning, security, observability, testing, and automation that are important for creating a well-rounded platform strategy supporting business-critical systems.
