Event-driven Microservices
Wednesday, 9:00 AM EST
Using the Microservices Architectural Style to incrementally adopt an Event-driven Architecture (EDA) lowers up-front costs while decreasing time-to-market. EDA extracts value from existing occurrences, limiting invasive refactoring or disrupting existing application development efforts. Implementing Event-driven Microservices yields intelligence, scalable, extensible, reactive endpoints.
This session will cover the fundamentals, patterns, techniques and pitfalls of Event-driven Microservices with several demos leveraging Spring-Boot, Camel, ActiveMQ and Docker.

Architecture Resiliency
Wednesday, 3:15 PM EST
No matter the techniques used to make enterprise solutions Highly Available (HA), failure is inevitable at some point. Resiliency refers to how quickly a system reacts to and recovers from such failures. This presentation discusses various architectural resiliency techniques and patterns that help increase Mean Time to Failure (MTTF), also known as Fault Tolerance, and decrease Mean Time to Recovery (MTTR).
Failure of Highly Available (HA) enterprise solutions is inevitable. However, in today's highly interconnected global economy, uptime is crucial. The impact of downtime is amplified when considering Service Level Agreement (SLA) penalties and lost revenue. Even more damaging is the harm to an organization's reputation as frustrated customers express their grievances on social media. Resiliency, often overlooked in favor of availability, is essential.

Architecture Trade-offs
Wednesday, 5:00 PM EST
Software architecture involves inherent trade-offs. Some of these trade-offs are clear, such as performance versus security or availability versus consistency, while others are more subtle, like resiliency versus affordability. This presentation will discuss various architectural trade-offs and strategies for managing them.
The role of a technical lead or software architect is to design software that fulfills the stakeholders' vision. However, as the design progresses, conflicting requirements often arise, affecting the candidate architecture. Resolving these conflicts typically involves making architectural trade-offs (e.g. service granularity vs maintainability). Additionally, with time-to-market pressures and the need to do more with less, adopting comprehensive frameworks like TOGAF or lengthy processes like ATAM may not be feasible. Therefore, it is crucial to deeply understand these architectural trade-offs and employ lightweight resolution techniques. Prezi Presentation
Technology Innovation Diffusion
Thursday, 9:00 AM EST
In this session you will learn to strategically introduce technology innovations by applying specific change patterns to groups of individuals. Using these patterns and related techniques will not only benefit your organization but will ultimately benefit your career as a technologist by making you a better influencer, writer, and speaker.
The rapid pace of technological innovation has enabled many organizations to dramatically increase productivity while at the same time decrease their overall headcount. However, the vacillating global economy combined with “change fatigue” within organizations has resulted in a risk averse culture. In such an environment how can one possibly introduce and inculcate the latest technology or process within an organization? The answer is to have a solid understanding of Diffusion Theory and to leverage Patterns of Change.
