OPEN Session: Using AI to Solve Real Problems for Development Teams
Wednesday February 12, 2025 10:00am - 10:25am PST
Dennis Pilarinos, Unblocked, Founder & CEO

For all the claims about AI increasing developer productivity, why aren't developers seeing more of an impact?

What we’ve heard from thousands of developers is that writing code is not their main challenge. They’re stuck at Step #1 – trying to find the right context about how the codebase works and why.

Codebases are a compilation of thousands of decisions, discussions, and documents that live across tools like Confluence, Slack, Notion, Jira, Linear, GitHub, and more - accumulated over years if not decades. Whether a developer is onboarding to your team or trying to understand how a piece of legacy code works, they waste hours every day digging for the answers through all these systems.

Unblocked augments your code with context from the tools in your stack, giving your development team a platform for asking questions, and for discovering historical context about their code.

The impact here is profound: with Unblocked, developers can answer their own questions without interrupting their peers or having to wait for meetings. What’s more, they can find the entirety of the information they need wherever they're working.

If we want to see actual productivity benefits from AI, we need to use it where we spend the most time. The more we can empower developers with the context they need, the faster we can achieve our goals and the happier we can make our teams.

OPEN Session: Scaling Secure, Codeless Mobile App Development and Continuous Monitoring in CI/CD for DevOps Teams
Wednesday February 12, 2025 10:00am - 10:25am PST
Karen Hsu, Appdome, SVP Mobile DevOps & Security Solutions

In the fast-paced world of DevOps, delivering secure, functional mobile apps quickly and efficiently is critical. This session is tailored for DevOps engineers and leaders looking to streamline mobile app development by incorporating code-less, secure app building, automated testing, and continuous monitoring into their CI/CD pipelines. Attendees will learn how to:
Integrate Secure Mobile App Builds Without Code or SDKs:

1. Automatically build critical security features such as encryption, fraud/malware/social engineering prevention, and threat detection directly into the mobile app, without writing any additional code or relying on third-party SDKs.
Automate Testing in CI/CD: Seamlessly integrate no-code security testing and scriptless functional testing into your CI/CD workflows. This ensures that each code push automatically triggers comprehensive testing, identifying any issues with secured apps before deployment—without requiring manual intervention.

2. Implement Continuous Threat Detection: Incorporate real-time threat detection for all your mobile apps. Then automate builds with protections against live attacks in your CI/CD pipeline. By closing the loop between security monitoring and app development, teams can ensure their apps are secure post-deployment and protected against evolving threats.

3. Optimize CI/CD Workflows for Faster Delivery: Implement a fully automated, end-to-end process that ensures every app build is secure, functional, and continuously monitored for potential threats. DevOps teams will learn how to accelerate their app delivery timelines without sacrificing security or performance, leveraging CI/CD tools like Jenkins, GitLab CI, and CircleCI, Bitrise and Azure DevOps.

This session will include a live demonstration showing how DevOps teams can integrate these capabilities into their existing CI/CD workflows, enabling faster, secure, and scalable mobile app delivery.

OpenAPI Summit: Your Cheat Code for API Authorization
Wednesday February 12, 2025 1:00pm - 1:25pm PST
Omri Gazitt, Aserto, Co-founder & CEO

Congrats, your org is all-in on microservices! But now you have hundreds (or thousands!) of APIs. Some power your customer-facing apps. Others are platform services that your front-end services consume. Still others are back-end services used by internal tools.

And ALL of them need to be authorized.

Not to mention, you need to be able to answer questions like “which users are authorized to invoke this endpoint?” and “which endpoints can this user invoke?”

Having each API “do its own thing” makes it all but impossible to wrangle this complexity. You need a cross-cutting solution to apply authorization rules consistently - either in the API code or at the API Gateway.

Enter Aserto: an open source cloud-native authorization service that does this, and more.

This talk provides hands-on learning for how to go from an OpenAPI spec to a fine-grained authorization model, ready to authorize your users, in just a few minutes.

OPEN Session: Where Is the Love? Why Automated Regression Testing Isn’t Getting the Attention It Needs
Wednesday February 12, 2025 1:30pm - 1:55pm PST
Jens Wessling, Veracode, Chief Technology Officer

As software development continues to evolve at a rapid pace and new innovations bring a world of possibilities, one item is often left behind: automated regression testing. The truth is without it, organizations can forget about software quality, security, winning customers' trust or being agile.

Regression testing is an integral, non-negotiable part of the production software development process right from the very moment the first line of production code is written. Its impact goes beyond code correctness, influencing development velocity, reducing long-term maintenance costs and ensuring a smoother integration process during acquisitions. However, companies often scramble to retrofit regression testing into their legacy code, but in reality, less than 10% of these after-the-fact efforts ever pan out. It might be tempting to overlook the absence of solid regression testing in smaller companies, but here's the catch: the long-term costs of maintaining code without automated testing don't just stay put – they grow. It's not just a “nice to have” it’s a strategic investment to safeguard their current operations and for companies to position themselves for future growth, innovation and success.

In this Thought Leadership Session, Jens Wessling, CTO of Veracode, outlines the importance of automated regression testing, highlighting why both developers and the C-Suite should make it a priority from the outset and how to make it a core aspect of your team's ethos.

OpenAPI Summit: API Resiliency Testing
Wednesday February 12, 2025 3:00pm - 3:25pm PST
Hari Krishnan, Specmatic, Polyglot Full Stack Developer

Are your APIs leaving you worried about data loss, data corruption, security vulnerabilities, or poor user experiences? If so, this talk is exactly what you need to address these issues. Discover how you can leverage your API specifications—like OpenAPI, AsyncAPI, and GraphQL SDLs—to test and enhance the resiliency of your APIs with a completely #NOCODE approach.

In this talk, you’ll gain insights into the importance of API resilience and how to build APIs that can gracefully handle flaky dependencies in real-world scenarios. We’ll explore the role of contract testing in ensuring resilience and demonstrate how to transform API specifications into executable contracts that can be continuously validated. You’ll see how to set up resilience tests, including those for latency, errors, and unexpected disconnections. The session features live demos on configuring tools to simulate these conditions, interpret the results, and iteratively enhance your API designs.
