PANEL: Open Source as a Business Model

Many new technology companies are utilizing open source as a major part of their business strategy - and existing tech companies are more and more open sourcing their existing technology. This seems counter-intuitive for for-profit tech companies to give away their technology - and yet the "open source strategy" is an emerging business model for the tech industry. This panel will discuss why open source is not just a business strategy, it provides secondary business models and revenue streams for technology companies.

APIs, Watson, and, Data Intensive Applications composed in Cloud

APIs are a critical component to developing ecosystems around your technology as well as building modern born on the cloud web and mobile applications. Given the popularity of building social functionality into new applications it should come as little surprise that daily API calls of some of the more popular social networking platforms can number in the billions. While impressive as a stand alone statement about the increasing value and significance of building and using APIs, it also highlights a substantial new market opportunity. Today, using new Watson APIs, developers are not only build new applications, services and APIs for industries like healthcare and travel, but using natural language processing technology to better understand users by taking advantage of things like social APIs.

Keynote: Enterprise apps are not boring as you might think

Talking about ‘the enterprise’ or building ‘business applications’ has traditionally conveyed the idea of big mainframes, terminal screens and waterfall development. However, a lot has changed in the last few years and ‘the enterprise’ has received a major innovation upgrade in order to keep up with the technology demands from consumers, global markets and developers. In this talk, we will explore these changes and the challenges and opportunities that have opened up for developers

Solving Docker Data Problems

Limited Capacity seats available

Docker has taken the devops community by storm by providing a simple, standardized way to package applications between dev, staging and production environments. The one major missing piece, however, is support for databases which continue to be managed by external services.

We believe that databases should also be able to run on the same platform as the rest of the app and benefit from Docker’s portability benefits.

In this presentation, Luke will discuss what data-focused Docker clustering could look like in a world where the entire application, including its data services, runs inside Docker containers.

KEYNOTE: So you want to build an API

After years of building APIs for various kinds of businesses and consumers, I want to share with you what I've learned along the way. You have lots of choices to make when creating an API. A lot of those choices will be made for you based on your business and development capabilities. We'll go through the different choices you can make, the pros and cons of each, and finally what to do after you've made some decisions. We'll cover everything from delivery protocols to marketing and everything in between. Along the way, I'll walk you through the choices I made in developing the Traitify API and the analysis that went into each decision.

How To Win Computers and Influence Reality

DevOps and Continuous Delivery are two of the strongest cultural trends in
IT today, and much has been said about what exactly they entail (and
many, many arguments about what they do not.) As CTO at Chef, I’ve had the pleasure of both
observing the behavior of hugely successful organizations and the despair
caused by businesses failing to successfully change how they operate.In this session I’ll describe how:

- DevOps and Continuous Delivery are reactions to the same fundamental
business forces – simply solutions to the problem driven from a different
point of view.
- The 5 key drivers of successfully transforming your organization into
a healthy, agile, forward-leaning, awesome place to work.
- Why the best advice about automation projects is the worst advice in
the face of a transition this huge.
- The idea that culture is more important than tools is wrong, if what
you care about is actually transforming your behavior.
- Why you must be prescriptive about the tool-chain you are going to
use, and brook no dissent once you’ve decided.
- How to organize and run the projects that will transform your business
into a model of both Devops and Continuous Delivery.

On the way we’ll talk about globalization, playing guitar, configuration
management, cognitive science, and the propensity of middle management to
murder great ideas with the most soft and pleasant of pillows.

It’ll be a good time.

Keynote: Containers Emerge as the Foundation for The New Application Generation

Docker containerization is sweeping across the tech landscape and driving innovation throughout, as companies are recognizing the benefits of adopting this new approach to developing, shipping and running distributed applications. Once applications are separated from infrastructure, developers have total portability to migrate applications from an on-premise dev environment, to any virtual infrastructure to any cloud provider. This open and dynamic flexibility puts the developer in a position where they only have to worry about creation of their application content buoyed by an incredible boost in productivity.

Workshop: Making your Applications Safer, Faster, and Smarter.

Web developers and Ops teams face constant pressure to create applications capable of handling enormous amounts of traffic, and servicing millions of users, while also ensuring sensitive data remains out of the hands of the bad-guys. Modern cloud based tools are now able to simplify many of these mission critical tasks, freeing you up to focus on building great apps.

In this workshop we will review several common concerns for today’s Sec/Dev/Ops teams including website security, bot mitigation, website acceleration, content optimization, and how to leverage cloud based tools to mitigate.
