The early years of the second decade of the twenty-first century. A world where Docker was a job people did; K8S was a boyband (probably); Kafka was a euphemism for existential anxiety and Chaos Engineering meant, well, nothing as it hadn’t been invented yet. The Cloud … that was just weather to most people.
It is 2012, and Microservices appeared on the Thoughtworks Technology Radar. 10 years ago, in 2014, Martin Fowler and James Lewis wrote down something that caused a bit of a stir – the definition of Microservices. 10 years later, for better or worse, Microservices have become the predominant architectural style for building complex systems.
So much innovation has occurred in the last decade – Docker and K8S fulfilled the ‘write once and run anywhere’ promise of the JVM. Operations changed beyond recognition as we moved to Cloud Native and FaaS. Testing in Production is a practice that now signifies maturity rather than derangement.
In this talk, James takes a look at the original nine characteristics of Microservices and explores the lessons we’ve learnt since those halcyon days. (Although Kafka is still a euphemism for existential anxiety.)
Oracle and Tremend, a subsidiary of Publicis Sapient, have partnered to develop groundbreaking AI solutions tailored for the enterprise market. This collaboration focuses on creating a highly specialized Generative AI (GenAI) system, utilizing advanced Oracle technologies like Database 23ai, Select AI and other GenAI services on Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI).
The data confidentiality and sovereignty, inherently present in the Oracle Cloud Infrastructure, are the cornerstone of the system. Its dedicated platform for data curation and validation takes into account the specifics of data sources in each business domain. Not only that but the answers it provides are grounded in the provided data sources, effectively minimizing the errors (“hallucinations”), making it ideal for various business sectors.
This journey proved that a successful GenAI implementation requires more than just advanced technology; it demands a clear strategic vision, robust data management, and a focus on impactful applications like knowledge bases to drive growth. AI success also hinges on a well-rounded plan, the right skills, and measurable outcomes. Only by aligning technology with purpose, the solutions developed are both sustainable and meaningful for clients.
The ever-expanding landscape of software development can feel overwhelming. New technologies, methodologies, frameworks, and tools emerge constantly, all promising to accelerate development. However, the sheer volume of options can create a paradox: the very tools designed to speed things up are creating complexity and actually slow us down if not managed effectively. This session explores how a developer portal can be the key to unlocking true efficiency.
In this session, we’ll dive into the world of high-end tech solutions and explore how architects shape the landscape of premium digital experiences. Our distinguished panellists will unravel the intricate dance between innovation and practicality, shedding light on how architects navigate the demands of discerning clients while pushing the boundaries of possible. From crafting bespoke solutions to orchestrating complex systems, we’ll explore the multifaceted role of architects in delivering tech services that not only meet but exceed expectations.
The discussion promises to offer valuable insights for tech professionals, business leaders, and anyone interested in the intersection of technology and premium service delivery. Don’t miss this opportunity to gain a deeper understanding of architects’ critical role in elevating the quality of tech services.
There are no best design practices in Software architecture–everything is a trade-off. But how do you figure out what those are? The answer to every question in software architecture is “It depends.” This keynote starts to answer the follow up question: “Depends on what?!?” It proves a variety of techniques and tools to help architects and other teams members understand and evaluate trade-offs, including how to perform iterative design and how to avoid common trade-off traps.
What if your greatest tool as a developer wasn’t just your code but your mindset? In this talk, we’ll explore how your reasoning patterns can revolutionize your approach to software design and decision-making. By shifting your perspective, you’ll learn to make more impactful choices, grow your skills, and contribute meaningfully to your projects.
We’ll explore strategies for making more intelligent decisions, designing more resilient systems, and driving personal and professional growth. It’s time to think beyond code and start building with purpose.
OpenAI’s Assistants API lets you build rich, interactive virtual assistants without incurring the time and expense of fine-tuning an LLM. Imagine an AI component that can book appointments on a calendar, query a database, produce charts and graphics, prioritize support tickets, retrieve information from your company’s internal documents, generate spreadsheets, and even run code. The Assistants API makes all this and more possible, and it represents Phase 2 of the LLM revolution in which LLMs are supplemented by “tools” that perform tasks LLMs can’t. Learn how to put the Assistants API to work in your business and see some jaw-dropping examples of the tasks it can perform, complete with sample code.
It’s been over 70 years since Alan Turing defined what many still consider to be the ultimate test for a computer system — Can a machine exhibit intelligent behavior that is indistinguishable from that of a human? Originally coined the imitation game, the Turing test involves having someone evaluate text conversations between a human and a machine designed to respond like a human. The machine passes the test if the evaluator cannot reliably tell the difference between the human versus machine-generated text. Although the Turing test generally serves as a starting point for discussing AI advances, some question its validity as a test of intelligence. After all, the results do not require the machine to be correct, only for its answers to resemble those of a human.
Whether it’s due to artificial “intelligence” or imitation, we live in an age where machines are capable of generating convincingly realistic content. Generative AI does more than answer questions, it writes articles and poetry, synthesizes human faces and voices, creates music and artwork, and even develops and tests software. But what are the implications of these machine-based imitation games? Are they a glimpse into a future where AI reaches general or super intelligence? Or is it simply a matter of revisiting or redefining the Turing test? Join Tariq King as he leverages a live audience of software testing professionals to probe everything from generative adversarial networks (GANs) to generative pre-trained transformers (GPT). Let’s critically examine the Turing test and more because it’s judgment day — and this time, we are the judges!
