When people describe technical debt they are often describing understandability issues – it takes too long to understand the code and its context well enough to plan or make changes correctly. In this keynote Michael Feathers will describe ways of developing understanding and certainty in large existing code bases using a variety of tools and practices.
As awareness of the importance of environmental sustainability grows, it becomes more important to consider the environmental impact of software systems, particularly as we introduce compute hungry AI features into our applications. In this talk we will take a software architect’s perspective and review the current state of software sustainability (or “green software”) and identify practical actions that we can take to understand and reduce the environmental impact of our systems. The talk will explain why software systems have an environmental impact, introduce some architectural tactics and patterns to use to reduce the environmental footprint of an application and its AI models, and briefly discuss how to go about measuring the “carbon intensity” of our systems.
Embark on an exploration of the dynamic landscape of MLOps driving AI products, where the focus extends beyond conventional software development. This talk highlights the distinct needs of AI projects, where MLOps plays a vital role in ensuring seamless transitions from research to deployment. From designing prediction serving processes to automating repetitive Machine Learning tasks, MLOps ensures the delivery of mature, scalable, and reliable AI projects.
There’s no need to emphasize further how critical security is in today’s digital landscape. Recent events have shown that neglecting application security from the start can lead to significant issues, sometimes resulting (not only) in financial losses. But does Java, as a language, offer everything you need for robust security? Contrary to popular belief, the JDK itself provides robust security features that many developers might not even be aware of. Join this talk, and I’ll walk you through the security capabilities the JDK offers.
“Software architecture” is the stuff you can’t Google. Developers become adept at searching for solutions to the technical issues they face–but what about architects? Their solutions are generic; rather, each decisions features significant trade-offs. This keynote, based on the eponymous book, delves into many of the areas in software architecture where difficult decisions lie and discusses techniques for evaluating those trade-offs to reach informed decisions. The job of an architect isn’t to find silver-bullet solutions to problems (they are too rare); instead, architects should hone their ability to perform objective trade-off analysis for novel situations (because all situations in architecture are novel). This keynote unlocks many techniques that architects can use to make better decisions.
