Overall, they are a unique and valuable opportunity for anyone looking to expand their knowledge and expertise in software development and IT.
9:45 – 10:00

Hello, Bucharest!

10:00 – 10:45

Simplifying Complexity

We live and work in a very complex world, facing hard decisions about algorithms, code structures, shared code, service granularity, distributed transactions, communication protocols, workflow management–the list goes on. Is there a way to simplify all the complexity we face? Fortunately, there is. In this keynote session, you’ll learn about different kinds of complexity and some techniques and tools you can use to make hard choices just a little bit easier.

11:00 – 11:45

12:00 – 12:45

Solving the Hard Problems! – Tackling Complexity in Software

Software is a creative act, and is at the forefront of the advance of our culture, we are living through the information revolution. Software is also one of the most complex things that humans build. Sure not all software is cutting edge, but the lessons that we have learned from building cutting edge systems are profound and some of them are widely applicable. Perhaps the most profound and most generally applicable idea of all is that you don’t build complex systems in one giant leap of intuition and inspiration, complex systems evolve over time and are the product of many many small steps, so how do we organise to take advantage of that? How do we practically adopt ideas like Evolutionary Architecture and Design”?

12:45 – 14:00

Lunch Break

14:00 – 14:45

Software Architecture by Example

While many attendees learn from abstract concepts, others prefer to see concepts in action. This session eschews software architecture theory and instead illustrates the process of architecture design using two concrete examples: Silicon Sandwiches and Going, Going, Gone. For each of these problems, Neal shows how:

  • to determine architecture characteristics
  • to find architecture quanta
  • to scope architecture characteristics
  • to create and iterate on component desgin
  • architecture characteristics & component design leads to architecture style selection
  • to document important architecture decisions

Each step of the way, the two example problems illuminate the stages of architecture design and the considerations architects must make at each stage.

15:00 – 15:45

Becoming a cloud-native doctor: Using metric and traces to diagnose our cloud-native applications 

Diagnosing ailments and diseases in the human body is a complicated task! Doctors require years of dedication to the science of understanding key body metrics and data to correctly diagnose potential issues and life-threatening scenarios. With the rise in complexity of both our applications and infrastructure in cloud-native app development, can we gain insights and inspiration from this world of medicine? How can we more effectively instrument our apps to diagnose potential failures, issues and bottlenecks in our system?

Join this session to learn about how making effective use of open source frameworks like Open Telemetry and MicroProfile, and the data they provide through metrics and traces, can enable us to become effective cloud-native physicians and successfully diagnose our cloud-native applications.

16:00 – 16:45

Welcome to the Data Side of Event-Driven Architecture

Most people think that Event-driven architecture is all about events. Services trigger events, asynchronously passing data to other services that respond to those events. But what about the underlying data? How much data should be passed in the event? Where should data be stored and retrieved in a highly loosely coupled system? In this session you’ll learn about the data side of event-driven architecture—from event contract patterns to the various database options available, including monolithic data, domain-based data, and service-based data. For each of these database options you’ll learn the implications, coupling concerns, and tradeoffs involved, as well as techniques to overcome some of the challenges of sharing (and not sharing) of data. Come to this session to learn the “other side” of event-driven architecture.

16:45 – 17:00

Till next time, Bucharest!
