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

DeveloperWeek Main Stage

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.

KEYNOTE: Midnight -- Bridging Web2 and Web3: Enhancing Developer Experience for Seamless Blockchain Integration

Thursday February 13, 2025 10:00am - 10:25am PST

DeveloperWeek Main Stage

Benjamin Beckmann, Midnight, CTO

This keynote explores how Web2 developers can transition smoothly into Web3 development by using familiar tools like TypeScript, which simplifies blockchain integration and reduces complexity. We'll showcase Real-world examples of dApps built with TypeScript will show how Web3 SDKs, APIs, and IDEs streamline development, making interaction with smart contracts and blockchain networks easier.We'll also highlight the role of zero-knowledge proofs (ZKPs) in ensuring data privacy and compliance, allowing for secure, privacy-focused dApps that meet regulatory standards. Finally, we'll cover how these tools are reducing barriers for developers, and driving mass adoption by making dApp development scalable and secure.
