How to write interactive web applications with HTML and a minor open-source extension, HTMX. There is no need for JavaScript.

This is an alternative to the traditional frontend stack (React/Angular, TypeScript, building, etc.), which can feel over-engineered in many use cases.

It allows all engineers to contribute to the front end from their native environment.

OPEN SESSION (CloudX): Navigating the Cloud Provider Maze : Multi-Cloud Agility or Single Vendor Expertise?

Wednesday November 6, 2024 11:00am - 11:25am PST

CloudX -- Main Stage

Vilas Veeraraghavan, Truckstop, Vice President, Engineering

Cloud computing is mainstream now and businesses must choose between the flexibility of multi-cloud strategies and the focused efficiency of single-vendor solutions. This talk delves into the challenges and learnings from past experiences at Netflix (single cloud vendor approach) and Walmart (hybrid/multi-cloud).

A single-vendor strategy can offer exceptional scalability and reliability by leveraging deep expertise and tight integration with a specific cloud provider. We will delve into the benefits of this approach, including optimized performance, streamlined operations, and the potential risks of vendor dependency.

On the other hand, a multi-cloud approach enhances resilience, avoids vendor lock-in, and provides cost optimization opportunities. This session will examine how to manage the complexities of integrating multiple cloud services, ensuring interoperability, and achieving operational agility.

Attendees will gain valuable insights into the trade-offs and strategic considerations involved in choosing a cloud strategy. Whether your organization is leaning towards the agility of multi-provider solutions or the specialized focus of single-vendor expertise, this talk will equip you with the knowledge to navigate the complexities of cloud management effectively.

Wednesday November 6, 2024 1:30pm - 1:55pm PST

CloudX -- Stage 1

Bhavin Desai, Google, Cross-Cloud Network Product Lead

Organizations increasingly adopt multi-cloud strategies to enhance agility and avoid vendor lock-in. However, this complexity creates challenges in networking, security posture management, and application development. This abstract highlights the potential of service-centric networking to streamline secure connectivity across hybrid and multi-cloud environments. It also explores AI-powered network security capabilities, including zero-trust architecture, next-generation firewalls, secure web proxies, and data loss prevention. By integrating these solutions, organizations can proactively defend their cloud networks, protect workloads, secure data, and ensure user security, ultimately accelerating distributed application development while maintaining a robust security posture.

PRO SESSION (CloudX): To the Cloud and Back Again?

Thursday November 7, 2024 1:00pm - 1:25pm PST

CloudX -- Stage 1

Ian Crosby, CloudOps, Field CTO

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.

[Virtual] OPEN SESSION (CloudX): The Critical Role of Observability in Cloud Native Applications: Ensuring Reliability and Minimizing Downtime

Thursday November 14, 2024 1:00pm - 1:25pm PST

VIRTUAL CloudX -- Main Stage

Greg Leffler, Splunk, Director of Developer Evangelism - Observability

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.
