<p>Kubernetes security 101</p>
<p>In this talk, we will look at the different layers of security that can be applied to a Kubernetes orchestrated container environment and the different team’s responsibility in the platform to deliver security. From the sysadmin’s point of view, how do I make sure Kubernetes is secured, what official hardening guides are out there to follow. From an application developers point of view, how does secomp/appapparmor work ? To make sure that only the right processes from the application have access to the host machine. Now that we have the local container secured, how do we make sure our deployments follow the same structure and security profiles. Can we add security checks to our container CD pipeline like we would quality gates? Lastly, we will look at it from the point of the security team. How can they have input to all the steps we have taken from the beginning of the process and not the end? Allowing all the teams to work together breaking down silo to deliver a solution.</p>

<p>Leading a boss-less organization</p>
<p>In this talk, I will share my experiments with different levels of ‘self organization without bosses’. In my first company Bridge, we originally organized in a more traditional way and ended up creating layers of hierarchy. 3 years ago we realized this was the wrong path. Since 2016, we have started changing the structure, removing the C-level roles and moving towards self organized teams. Today, almost all functions are ‘executed’ by self organized teams. We don’t have any C-title except the CEO. In my new company, Ekipa, I have applied the Teal principles and in the past 2 years we have experimented with all of the principles. Some things worked, some didn’t. I will share what we did during the talk.</p>

<p>Success – An Entrepreneur’s Perspective</p>
<p>Today, we stand at the realm of exciting possibilities. With the fourth industrial revolution underway, the world is set to transcend all limits. Against this backdrop, the definition of success is continuously emerging. When we have achieved all that is out there to conquer, would we still be on the path to success?</p>
<p>As an entrepreneur, defining success and setting the right goals is critical to the wellbeing of the company and the team. So what constitutes success? Do tangibles such as money continue to be the yardstick of success? Does it lie in setting up a great organizational culture? Is it attracting top talent? Should it be revenue? Or is success best defined as a combination of all these factors & more?</p>
<p>In this talk, we will explore the new face of success for entrepreneurs as well as organizations.</p>

<p>The Agile Mindset</p>
<p>When we speak about Agile, people speak about practices, framework and mindset. Frameworks & practices are easy to start, hard to master. What is the Agile Mindset? Is it a state of Mind? Something you develop? It is a journey. Let’s share an amazing experience to embrace the Agile Mindset which will help you in your day to day (and not only at work maybe 😉 ) to get the real benefits of your Agile Journey.</p>

<p>She is a true believer in building bridges and connecting worlds, and a true lover of the regions, people, culture and wonders of Asia.</p>
<p>Anne-Isabelle is External Relations Manager at Passerelles numériques.
<br>Some life challenges in her very young age made her realise how lucky she had been and taught her that we are not all equal in terms of opportunities. She believes promoting access to quality education is a powerful way to give everyone the chance they deserve. From a marketing background in retail in France to fundraising in Asia for underprivileged youths has been quite a journey. Although in the end it is all about understanding expectations and supporting the projects you care for!</p>
<p>From higher profits to higher purpose, how technology may eventually enhance our humanity?</p>
<p>In times when AI and automation affect the way we learn and work; in times when everybody has a stake in societal issues which gain immediate exposure through globalised communications and a growing sense of common responsibility; in times when Millenials and the Generation Z make their mark in the professional world, striving for personal happiness, enriching and creative professional experiences as well as boundaryless assignments. In these times, corporates are aware of the revolution ahead of them, questioning the way they attract, train, retain talent, questioning their role and contribution to society, questioning the very core of their “raison d’etre”. And while developments in the area of AI and automation will render millions of jobs obsolete in the future, they will not replace the “human factor.” AI cannot understand information it is not already aware of, it cannot ask previously un-conceptualised questions. Michiko Kaku has spoken at lengths about “intellectual capitalism” including activities that are uniquely human and cannot be performed by robots. These soft skills need to be nurtured and we believe an inclusive, corporate-NGO-led approach to be the way forward.</p>

<p>Your Team as a Distributed System</p>
<p>As we level up in technical roles, often we find ourselve thrust into team leadership and management. This sneaks up on us and we can be left without the skills to adequately understand, engage with and lead our teams. This inevitably has a negative effect on our teams and this effect is multiplied as you scale.</p>
<p>What if we could reach into our toolbox that we use to understand technical problems – software architecture and distributed systems theory – to help us understand our teams? Could we learn to better manage people through this metaphor?</p>
<p>We will explore the dynamics of teams and how they map to our understanding of distributed systems. Using this understanding we can apply distributed systems theory to help unpick some of the dynamics of our teams and how to optimise them for scale.</p>
<p>From communcation to culture, we will break down the components of our distributed system and see what makes it tick using things like CAP Theorem and the 8 Fallacies of Distributed Systems. You will walk away with some tools to help understand your team, and set yourself up for successful scaling.</p>

<p>Keep CALMS and Adopt DevOps</p>
<p>CALMS in DevOps is a critical aspect which would drive a team in terms of Culture, Automation, Lean practices, Measurement and Sharing. The collaborative nature of DevOps requires deep mindset and cultural shift in the organization to break communication and cross-functional barriers.</p>
<p>How does breaking cross-functional barriers and building bridges among teams create trust and change the environment into a self-learning environment? Also, we will also see the power of open-ended requirements and how it could improve the thinking of team members in looking for new solutions.</p>

<p>Scaling Engineering Organizations with Patterns</p>
<p>When the amount of work increases and the engineering organization grows, architecture needs to adapt to support avalanche of requirements and ever-increasing number of engineers.</p>
<p>In this talk, we’ll review patterns of scaling requirements, teams and architecture along with their respective strengths and challenges. Patterns are presented in a systemic way in an attempt to provide completeness. After that we will review several common combinations of scaling patterns and analyze their fit for purpose in a given context.</p>
<p>The talk will be presented as a growth journey of a fictional organization, highlighting key scaling decisions and lessons learned as a result.</p>

<p>Cleaning up the Data Economy</p>
<p>Data has emerged as a crucial feedstock for the world economy, yet the Data Supply Chain lacks transparency and trust – technology can fix this</p>
<p>Like oil in the last century, data is now the fuel powering our lives and economies. While oil drives our cars and planes, data powers all sorts of online experiences from shared transport services and online shopping to stock markets, and as data has grown in importance, a new Data Economy has risen centred on the extracting, refining, valuing, purchasing and selling of data. As the Internet of Things (IoT) evolves and everything from toilet seats to toasters become sources of data, this economy will only grow in size and importance.</p>
<p>Yet, despite being worth over a quarter of a trillion USD by 2020, the Data Economy is opaque and lacks transparency. Few people understand the myriad of middlemen and data aggregators who sell data to companies – many of whom are household brand names – and even fewer people realise that these same middlemen often refuse to show where they sourced their data from. This happens for a number of reasons, both malicious and non-malicious, data could be replicated, stolen, false, damaged or forged, or they simply want to protect their own sources. The result, though, is companies and governments spending millions of dollars, and making decisions based on data that could well be inaccurate.</p>
<p>Technology has created this situation, and technology exists to solve it. Barkha Jasani,Director of Engineering at Quadrant is able to expand on the above, as well as discuss:</p>
<p>• The Data Economy, how it works, its importance to the economy and our everyday lives</p>
<p>• How technology is able to authenticate data, generating more trust and accuracy and making data more accessible</p>
<p>• How a lack of transparency in the Data Economy will lead to more regulations, overly affecting SMEs</p>
<p>• Quadrant’s own data authentication technology, how it promises to guarantee data provenance and democratise the Data Supply Chain</p>

<p>Web Western: The Good, The Bad And The Web Components</p>
<p>In this talk, based on professional experiences, we will discuss the pros and cons of writing large-scale applications with only web components and utility libraries.</p>
<p>Custom elements specs v1 have been out for a while now but the adoption is still pretty low. In an era where a web framework can become obsolete as soon as a new trend emerges, we might however consider more durable options. But is it really worth it? In order to answer this question, we will tackle the following concerns: * Development effort, * Standardization, * Performance, * Browser compatibility, * Durability, * And alternatives such as Polymer or StencilJS.</p>
<p>If you have ever wondered if getting rid of ReactJS / Angular boilerplates would be worth it, then this talk is definitely made for you!</p>

<p>Monitor Your Java Applications with the Elastic Stack: Logs, Metrics, Pings, and Traces</p>
<p>“With microservices, every outage is like a murder mystery” is a common complaint. But it doesn’t have to be!</p>
<p>This talk gives an overview on how to monitor distributed applications. We dive into:</p>
<p>System metrics: Keep track of network traffic and system load.
<br>Application logs: Collect structured logs in a central location.
<br>Uptime monitoring: Ping services and actively monitor their availability and response time.
<br>Application metrics: Get the information from the application’s metrics and health endpoints via REST or JMX.
<br>Request tracing: Trace requests through a distributed system and show how long each call takes and where errors are happening.
<br>And we will do all of that live, since it is so easy and much more interactive that way.</p>

<p>GraalVM native executable for real apps: using Quarkus to start your Java app in 10ms and 30MB of RAM</p>
<p>Microservices, rapid scalability and high density deployment platforms like Kubernetes require apps with low memory usage and fast boot time. Java had been the outsider in that universe due to its focus on throughput at the expense of CPU and RAM.</p>
<p>No more. Enter Quarkus, a microservices Java stack bringing your favorite libraries (Hibernate, vert.x, Camel, RESTEasy, Netty…) to GraalVM and HotSpot with minimal memory usage and fast boot time. Enough to swim in containers like a fish in water. It makes GraalVM usable for real apps.</p>
<p>Come discover GraalVM powers and limits and how Quarkus focuses on size and speed with no compromise on developer experience and ecosystem support. Since Quarkus is to be experienced more than talked about, expect a heavy demo session.</p>

<p>Kafka as a Platform: the Ecosystem from the Ground Up</p>
<p>Kafka has become a key data infrastructure technology, and we all have at least a vague sense that it is a messaging system, but what else is it? How can an overgrown message bus be getting this much buzz? Well, because Kafka is merely the center of a rich streaming data platform that invites detailed exploration.</p>
<p>In this talk, we’ll look at the entire streaming platform provided by Apache Kafka and the Confluent community components. Starting with a lonely key-value pair, we’ll build up topics, partitioning, replication, and low-level Producer and Consumer APIs. We’ll group consumers into elastically scalable, fault-tolerant application clusters, then layer on more sophisticated stream processing APIs like Kafka Streams and KSQL. We’ll help teams collaborate around data formats with schema management. We’ll integrate with legacy systems without writing custom code. By the time we’re done, the open-source project we thought was Big Data’s answer to message queues will have become an enterprise-grade streaming platform.</p>

<p>Andrew is currently a software development manager at PayPal Singapore, working in the Consumer Financial Services team.</p>
<p>Most of his technical experience is centred around product development, as well as data/database problems in the context of building scalable, robust and high-performance applications. He loves dabbling in machine learning. By accident rather than intent, he has a colourful workplace background, everything from being a co-founder of a New Zealand loyalty/virtual payments startup to working in large multi-nationals. After moving around a lot around Asia Pacific, he is finding Singapore to be his favourite place and I hope he’ll move less in the future. Obviously because of the best chicken rice in the world.</p>
<p>So, engineer, you think you can be a product manager?</p>
<p>I think I can smell your angst – you are bored following other people’s requirements and want to build your own products? After all, how hard can it be?</p>
<p>I will share the key differences between the Engineering & Product mindsets. You’ll learn that it’s not for the fainthearted or feeble brained, that it requires application of The Force and other Jedi tricks.
