OPEN Session: How Not to Become a Database Expert

Wednesday February 12, 2025 10:00am - 10:25am PST

Dmytro Hnatiuk, Wise, Principal Software Engineer

Tackling database scalability can seem daunting without a clear path forward. In "How Not to Become a Database Expert," we'll navigate the journey of database scalability together, emphasizing the strategic timing of each step. This talk isn't about the weeds of query optimization techniques; it’s about understanding when and why to apply certain types of optimizations to get the most out of your efforts. We’ll explore a tiered pyramid approach that guides software engineers through essential phases of scalability—from basic setups to more sophisticated strategies. By focusing on the right optimizations at the right time, you’ll learn how to efficiently improve your systems without overwhelming detail. Perfect for software engineers at any level, presentation will help you with the knowledge to make impactful decisions when your project needs it most. Join me to simplify your scalability strategy and focus on what truly matters in your database environment.

OPEN Session: How Robust APIs Win in a Competitive Market

Wednesday February 12, 2025 10:30am - 10:55am PST

CloudNative World Stage

Shireen Nagdive, Salesforce, Senior Software Engineer
Jatin Taneja, Salesforce, Senior Member of Technical Staff

With today’s tools, creating APIs has become a streamlined process—just write the API contract and generate the rest. Yet, despite similar backend functionalities, some APIs stand out and are preferred by users over others. One critical differentiator is API resiliency: the ability to stay functional and dependable when faced with failures or unexpected conditions.
In this session, we’ll dive into proven strategies for designing resilient APIs and examine common issues that arise with different resiliency approaches. By understanding these patterns and their potential pitfalls, developers can ensure their APIs are built not just for functionality but for long-term success in real-world environments.

After attending this session, attendees will walk away knowing -
1. Understanding API resiliency and its importance.
2. Why resiliency is key to API success.
3. Common resiliency strategies and their challenges.

OPEN Session: DevEx Isn't Just for Developers

Wednesday February 12, 2025 11:00am - 11:25am PST

CloudNative World Stage

Benjie De Groot, Shipyard, Co Founder

Empowering developers starts with enabling all the internal stake holders frictionless access to WIP features. We will discuss how shortening the internal feedback loop is a key critical aspect of DX. One of the largest contributors to overall efficiency, time to market, and innovation cycles is waiting on product, QA, customer success and C-Suite feedback. When discussing DevEx we must understand the critical role that non-developer stakeholders play in the SDLC and how enabling them speeds up lead time for changes / deployment frequency. DevEx for non developers is critical!

OPEN Session: Stop the Silos: From Files to Apps, Integrate Your Dev Approach

Wednesday February 12, 2025 11:00am - 11:25am PST

Dev Innovation World Stage

John Wilson, IBM, Senior Product Manager

From standards to security, there’s no shortage of considerations when developing for the transmission of complex data through myriad systems, apps, partners, and geographies. Even if you can quickly transfer files of any size in a secure, governed and encrypted manner, there’s always another hop to get to value. But files, apps, APIs—these don’t live in a silo, and neither can your approach to integration.

In this session we’ll start with an MFT use case and showcase how IBM’s hybrid iPaaS (integration platform as a service) unifies disparate integration approaches to make collaboration easier. Check out a new way to solve common everyday enterprise file handling requirements directly from a cloud or hybrid solution.

OPEN Session: How GenAI Helps Solve Data Consistency Problems with Cloud-Native Apps

Wednesday February 12, 2025 1:00pm - 1:25pm PST

CloudNative World Stage

Brijesh Deo, Oracle, Director, Software Development

Data consistency has been a longstanding challenge, dating back to the mainframe era, and transactions have traditionally been used to address these issues. However, with the rise of modern applications built on microservices architectures, ensuring data consistency has become even more complex. While AI adds further complexity to app development, it also offers significant potential to ease these challenges. New transaction patterns have emerged to tackle these modern issues. In this session, you will learn about these new patterns and the solutions available today to integrate these patterns into your applications. We will also explore in detail how some of these solutions are leveraging genAI to help developers avoid writing transaction management code or worry about associated infrastructure, making it extremely easy to adopt such transaction patterns.

OPEN Session: Stateful Workloads Made Easy: A Practical Demo of Live Migration

Wednesday February 12, 2025 1:30pm - 1:55pm PST

CloudNative World Stage

Steven Fraser, CAST AI, Senior Solution Architect

Kubernetes works great for stateless applications, but stateful workloads like databases or long-running jobs pose a challenge. These applications rely on persistent data and can’t afford interruptions, making Kubernetes’ “ephemeral” approach risky. Downtime can lead to data loss, inconsistencies, and system failures.

That’s where live migration comes in, allowing stateful workloads to move between nodes without disruption. At Cast AI, we’ve developed Container Live Migration to automatically consolidate these workloads, ensuring continuous uptime, reducing resource fragmentation, and cutting costs. Join us to see how we’re making Kubernetes work for stateful applications in a practical demo.
