This talk presents several techniques and architectural activities that are useful on agile projects and explains how an agile architect’s role can and should differ from that of a traditional software architect.

This talk will show off Scala.js and how you can get started using it. Starting from nothing, we will build a number of small Scala.js applications, which will hopefully demonstrate this promise. No Scala experience required.
Modern, cloud-native applications typically use a microservices architecture in conjunction with NoSQL and/or sharded relational databases. However, in order to successfully use this approach you need to solve some distributed data management problems including how to maintain consistency between multiple databases without using 2PC.
I will discuss the experience at LinkedIn and elsewhere moving from batch-oriented ETL to real-time streams using Apache Kafka. I’ll talk about how the design and implementation of Kafka was driven by this goal of acting as a real-time platform for event data.
This talk will discuss the problems faced in the modern data center, and how a set of innovative open source tooling can be used to tame the rising complexity curve. Join me on an adventure with Vagrant, Consul, and Terraform as we take your data center from chaos to control.
Linux containers provide the ability to reliably deploy 1000s of application instances in seconds, but how do we manage it all? The answer is CoreOS and Kubernetes. This talk will help attendees wrap their minds around complex topics such as distributed configuration management, service discovery, and application scheduling at scale.
In this session, Joanne will present principles, stories and practical suggestions on how to build a successful organizational culture that supports experimentation and learning with the goal to delivering better value for customers.
In order to understand something, whether it be user behavior or software infrastructure, we must understand how it moves and changes with time. Unfortunately most of the tools of our trade offer little help in this regard.
We explain optimization techniques used to set three world speed records. Using a combination of code generation and hardware specific optimizations, we achieved a 20x speedup over hand tuned assembly.
