We often hear stories from Kafka users about taking nine months to implement production-ready Kafka-based data pipelines. We see customers having 50 teams relying on a single Kafka cluster managed by one person. Data engineers cannot easily simulate a production environment without a complex initial setup. Or data scientists struggle with data integration, building an offline ML pipeline to experiment, reproduce models, and debug them locally. Let's explore how to skip the headache of creating computing clusters, managing partitions, shards, and workers' setup.
The talk demonstrates a different way of implementing a cost-efficient serverless streaming pipeline using pure Python. We will leverage technologies like KEDA (Kubernetes Event-Driven Autoscaling) with integrated NATS Jetstream for the distribution of real-time events and Fission serverless framework to run lambda-like functions on Kubernetes.

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.

For years the strategy for successful IT organizations has been clear, “Public Cloud or Bust”. The advantages the cloud brought compared with traditional on-premises infrastructure are numerous: Scalability, Cost Efficiency, Reliability, Security, etc… the road to the cloud may be tough, but once there you can reap the benefits. Digital and cloud transformations were omnipresent. It was such a safe bet, that the famous maxim for IBM was repurposed to “Nobody ever got fired for buying AWS”.
More recently, this piece of advice seems less secure. There has been a distinct silencing of the “Cloud First” march, and even significant noise of retreat, also known as Cloud Repatriation. So without clear messaging within the industry how should we determine what is the right strategy for our workloads? Is Hybrid cloud the perfect balance or a cop-out condemning you to the worst of both worlds?
In this presentation we’ll separate the wheat from the chaff, by covering some proven techniques to determine where you should run your workloads. We’ll look at the most common pitfalls organizations make when migrating to (or from) cloud, and look at when a hybrid cloud strategy makes sense. Finally we’ll dive into what’s driving the recent cloud rebellion, and make some predictions about what the future of cloud looks like.

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.

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.

For years the strategy for successful IT organizations has been clear, “Public Cloud or Bust”. The advantages the cloud brought compared with traditional on-premises infrastructure are numerous: Scalability, Cost Efficiency, Reliability, Security, etc… the road to the cloud may be tough, but once there you can reap the benefits. Digital and cloud transformations were omnipresent. It was such a safe bet, that the famous maxim for IBM was repurposed to “Nobody ever got fired for buying AWS”.
More recently, this piece of advice seems less secure. There has been a distinct silencing of the “Cloud First” march, and even significant noise of retreat, also known as Cloud Repatriation. So without clear messaging within the industry how should we determine what is the right strategy for our workloads? Is Hybrid cloud the perfect balance or a cop-out condemning you to the worst of both worlds?
In this presentation we’ll separate the wheat from the chaff, by covering some proven techniques to determine where you should run your workloads. We’ll look at the most common pitfalls organizations make when migrating to (or from) cloud, and look at when a hybrid cloud strategy makes sense. Finally we’ll dive into what’s driving the recent cloud rebellion, and make some predictions about what the future of cloud looks like.

As organizations have moved to the cloud and increased their pace of innovation to ship software more often, it becomes harder to validate the impact of changes – both to their business and to their customers’ experience. That’s where Observability comes into play. Observability has emerged as a critical aspect of cloud native applications due to its ability to provide comprehensive insights into the complex and dynamic environments these applications operate within. By enabling real-time monitoring, tracing, and logging, observability allows users to proactively identify and resolve performance issues, improve reliability and build better digital experiences. This is crucial in helping organizations lower the cost of unplanned downtime and be more resilient.
Downtime not only results in direct financial losses, often quantified in thousands of dollars per minute for large enterprises, but also incurs indirect costs such as reduced customer satisfaction, loss of trust, and potential long-term reputational damage. To illustrate these benefits, we will demonstrate a troubleshooting scenario in a microservice environment using an advanced observability tool, showcasing how timely insights can present and resolve issues efficiently. As a result, investing in robust observability tools and practices is essential for maintaining the reliability and efficiency of cloud native applications, ultimately supporting business continuity and growth.

It's been 10 years since Kubernetes came on the scene and became synonymous with running containers at scale. Suddenly everyone needed to run their apps in Kubernetes.
Or did they?
I'll discuss the different real-world scenarios where Kubernetes makes sense, and where it doesn't. We'll talk about how the hype of technology can get you into trouble, and how to evaluate when Kubernetes is the right call for your business. Don't walk down the dark alley....unless you need to.

Anup Ghatage, Salesforce, Lead Member of Technical Staff Varun Shah, Salesforce, Software Engineer
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.
