We constantly hear that change should be affordable and cost effective. True, but, in reality, that is easily said than done. Complexity makes change hard. We can’t shy away from the hard problems posed by domains and business needs. So, how can we solve complicated problems without getting dragged into the quagmire of what appears to be an inevitable complexity? In this keynote, an award winning author and software practitioner will share experiences and observations from working on multiple software projects, about what leads to complexities, the traps developers and organizations fall into, and what we can do to effectively deal with these common, recurring issues we see across domains and products.
In today’s era of Digital Transformation, which has become a primary business objective for most of our customers, creating the right technical ecosystem is paramount. Our quality-driven approach can truly distinguish between average and great results.
I understand that technology is rapidly evolving, and there are various trends, enticing everyone to implement the latest and shiniest options on the market. Yet, I firmly believe that adaptability and openness are essential in achieving balance in everything we do. With this perspective in mind, let us explore how we can best blend the technological DNA of our customers with the insights of our consultants.
Continuous Software Architecture is a philosophy and approach to software architecture that embraces the fact that doing most of the design before the implementation does not work very well, and perhaps never did. The approach tries to move architecture from a set of up-front blueprints to a continually developed set of architectural knowledge and decisions, stressing collective ownership of the resulting architecture. While a simple idea, actually putting it into practice can be difficult. In this talk we will briefly recap the idea of Continuous Software Architecture and then explore the key practices that are usually needed to achieve it, as well as the common problems and how to address them.
Microservices has been around for over a decade now. Over the years we’ve learned a lot, and have developed new practices, processes, techniques, and tools to wrangle this highly complicated architecture style. In this informative and entertaining session I discuss the current state of microservices, including some of the lessons learned over the years. In the session I also talk about some of today’s current techniques, tips, and practices to help maneuver around the complexity surrounding microservices.
We’re not quite sure exactly when email was invented. Sometime around 1971. But we know exactly when junk email was invented: May 3rd, 1978, when Gary Thuerk emailed 400 people an advertisement for DEC computers. It made a lot of people very angry… but it also sold a few computers, and so junk email was born.
Fast forward half a century, and the relationship between email and commerce has never been more complicated. In one sense, the utopian ideal of free, decentralised, electronic communication has come true… email is the ultimate cross-network, cross-platform communication protocol. In another sense, it’s an arms race: mail providers and ISPs implement ever more stringent checks and policies to prevent junk mail, and if that means the occasional important message gets sent to junk by mistake, then hey, no big deal… until you’re trying to send out e-tickets and discover that every company who uses Mimecast has decided your mail relay is sending junk. Marketing teams want beautiful, colourful, responsive emails, but their customers’ mail clients are still using a subset of HTML 3.2 that doesn’t even support CSS rules. And let’s not even get started on how you design an email when half your readers will be using “dark mode” so everything ends up on a black background.
Email is too big to change, too broken to fix… and too important to ignore. So let’s look at what we need to know to get it right. We’ll learn about DNS, about MX and DKIM and SPF records. We’ll learn about how MIME actually works (and what happens when it doesn’t). We’ll learn about tools like Papercut, Mailtrap, Mailjet, Foundation, and how to incorporate them into your development process. If you’re lucky, you’ll even learn about UTF-7, the most cursed encoding in the history of information systems. Modern email is hacks top of hacks on top of hacks… but, hey, it’s also how you got your ticket to be here today, so why not come along and find out how it actually works?
