Architectural thinking is seeing things with a “software architect’s eye”, similar to how a meteorologists, artists, and mariners see clouds with a different point of view and with different meaning. Architectural thinking isn’t just for architects – senior developers and tech leads can apply architectural thinking into their daily activities as well to better understand the architectural implications of decisions they make. In this session you’ll learn what architectural thinking is and how to apply this kind of thinking to your daily work and activities, regardless of your role or title. In this session you’ll learn how to identify and define various architecture characteristics, how to expand your technical breadth, and also learn techniques for doing modern tradeoff analysis.

When building distributed systems, we aim to get a macro view and be able to zoom in when a particular component seems to be at fault for a failure. Luckily, distributed tracing captures the detailed execution of causally-related activities performed by the elements of a distributed system as it processes a given request.

If you wonder how different the execution of the requests from the system’s expected behaviour was, join my session to learn how to recognize trace patterns, determine the bottlenecks when a request is too slow, and deal with oversampling or traffic labeling in production.

Have you ever wondered how machine learning solutions can optimise the cost predictions for service contracts? During this presentation you’ll discover how we make it our purpose to help the accounting and finance teams to minimize the booked losses and be able to offer a faster response regarding price adjustments.

Through his presentation, Claudio Ceccotti will use this case study as an example of an end-to-end implementation of ML

It is used by different stakeholder groups inside a company with different responsibility levels. The results directly affect the financial planning of the company.

The solution is based on Azure as cloud infrastructure, Databricks and Spark/ PySpark for the big-data analytics, and PowerBI for the visualization of the machine learning results and the simulation.

We’ll dive into discussions about data gathering processes from different sources, data cleaning methods and different machine learning models. And of course, he’ll present how the results are made available to the end user. Curious about it?

To help meet compliance obligations across regulated industries and markets worldwide, Azure maintains the largest compliance portfolio in the industry both in terms of breadth (total number of offerings), as well as depth (number of customer-facing services in assessment scope). Join the session to find our more about the shared responsibility model and understand how Microsoft operates to safeguard your data.

Even now that applications are becoming more distributed and decoupled, you still need to make sure you do not break contracts between the various moving parts of your solutions as your landscape grows and matures.
In this session we will have a look at how you can do versioning of contracts between clients and services, as well as between publishers and subscribers. Also, you are going to see what client contract testing is all about and how it can help you to get a grip on releasing new versions of your services.
We will look at the concepts, approaches and strategies, but also get a practical view of applying these ideas into your software lifecycle using .NET based solutions and Pact for contract testing.

Many developers around the world have jumped on the Microservices bandwagon. Several organizations, in the past and also in the present, have built around monolithic and also service oriented architectures. What separate, however, Microservices from those efforts at large? How does a Microservices based architecture influence the design of the software applications, what are the key design principles we should keep in mind, and how to leverage design goals like reuse and extensibility?

In this presentation we will revisit the design goals we often focus on in software development and how those evolve in the context of Microservices.
