KEYNOTE (AI): Neo4j-- Give Your LLMs a Left Brain

Stephen Chin, Neo4j, VP of Developer Relations

The human brain is divided into two hemispheres and each specializes in different types of tasks. Your right brain is great at imagination, intuition, art, rhythm, feelings, and dreams. While the left brain is more analytical and focused on logic, sequencing, linear thinking, and mathematics. Just like a human brain, generative AI excels at certain tasks, especially those to do with right-brain creative activities. However, in the absence of relevant and up-to-date information this produces confusing hallucinations that are not grounded in reality. In this presentation we will explore how knowledge graphs built with factual and updated information can be used to complement LLMs via graph retrieval augment generation (GraphRAG) in order to produce more reliable results.

KEYNOTE (Management): Okteto -- The ROI of Developer Happiness

Ramiro Berrelleza, Okteto, Founder

Leaders always need to think about ROI when investing in people and software. Today, the typical way to measure this is by leaning on DORA-style metrics: How often is code shipped, how long does it take to fix an issue discovered in production, or how many tickets we close on a given sprint. It's a reasonable path: it's easy to measure, and there's enough research that proves that there's merit in this approach.

But this approach is missing something fundamental. The role of developers, from small companies to enterprises, is not to write code or ship features. It's to create business value through software. And this is, at its core, a creative endeavor. And creative endeavors need positive environments to thrive.

In this talk, Ramiro, founder, and CEO of Okteto, one of the leading companies in developer productivity and development experience, will make a case for why technical leaders need to consider the ROI of developer happiness. During the talk, we'll discuss why developer happiness matters, how to measure it, why leading companies in our industry are investing in this, and how we can foster developer happiness in our teams, organizations, and companies.

Join the conversation, and let's learn together why a happy developer is a productive developer.

KEYNOTE (AI): Intuit -- Gen AI Unleashed: The Pioneering Role of Product Managers in Crafting the Future

Sharmila More, Intuit, Platform Product Management Leader

In today's digital age, Generative AI has significantly transformed various areas of software product development. While there's been plenty of literature on how Gen AI can assist PM jobs such as generating ideas, writing User stories, or defining your product market fit, very few articles provide insights into how it changes the product development lifecycle and the role of Product Managers in influencing their teams in embracing this technology.
To analyze the impact of Gen AI and its intersection with PM roles, a necessary prerequisite would be for Product Managers to understand the basics of these technologies.
Some of the critical areas of product development that have undergone a transformation with the introduction of Generative AI are as follows:
Determining whether LLM is even the appropriate solution to address your customer problem or you should embrace the engineering solution.
A thorough assessment of the advantages and disadvantages of an Open source vs Closed source LLM.
Understand potential upfront costs, ongoing expenses, and the cost-to-benefit ratio of implementing a Generative AI solution.
Properly address data sensitivity concerns keeping in mind compliance and security reviews.
Effect of unpredictability and experimentation involved in LLMs to time-to-market.
Is it acceptable for your solution to have a probabilistic output?
Emphasize the importance of responsible AI, adhering to ethical and legal protocols.
Product Managers must devise metrics to measure the benefits of Generative AI in product development, with the idea of continuous improvement and innovation in the PM function.
In conclusion, this proposal focuses on the emerging need for PMs to remain up-to-date on the current developments in LLM and Generative AI and how they can use these technologies to their advantage, ultimately contributing to increased customer value and organizational growth.

OPEN TALK (Management): Scale Your Data Pipelines Safely with Open Source

Marisa Smith, Tobiko Data, Developer Advocate

Data. It's everywhere- used for everything. It helps us make intelligent business decisions, makes our teams more efficient and transparent, trains our AI and ML models, or allows users to access info. Yet, our engineering teams face several complex challenges when updates or new features are needed for downstream data assets.

These problems include costly data outages, inaccurate reporting or metrics affecting the business outcomes, and delayed deliverables due to complex communication chains. Because of these problems, engineers and data practitioners often resort to building new pipelines and datasets instead of changing existing ones, escalating technical debt and increasing complexity. These factors drive up development costs, slow iteration speed, and make data less reliable.

At the heart of the open-source project SQLMesh, we have created a novel data pipeline development workflow from our combined experience at companies like Airbnb, Apple, Google, and Netflix. We designed this data transformation tool to handle complexities associated with evolving data pipelines at the internet scale. In this session, we will discuss the innovations and core concepts of SQLMesh and show how it has helped other data teams scale data safely, quickly and reliably.

PRO TALK (Management): Abstractions, Reuse and Productivity - The Triangle of Efficiency in the SDLC

Mifan Careem, WSO2, Chief Solutions Officer

2023 was the year of efficiency. As the industry trended towards doing more with less, the focus of software development also shifted focus towards productivity. Enterprises and teams are looking at becoming more productive and efficient - which essentially means producing better, faster, cheaper, secure products, with a faster time to market and lesser engineering effort.

Reuse is the gold standard in software development that most organizations are aiming for. Having the right level of abstractions is the first step in enabling reuse at multiple levels - be it at application level with APIs, infrastructure level with Kubernetes, or going a notch higher with integration programming and no-code platforms, Platform DevOps with Platform engineering all the way to platform-less concepts. There is no one size fit all solution for enterprises of all sizes though, and picking the right areas to build vs buy vs abstract is critical. In this talk, we look at what the right levels of abstraction mean to different organizations, the economic value and compounding effect of reuse at different levels, and how productive various abstractions are in reality.

PRO TALK (AI): Open Box AI: Trackable AI for Enterprises during a Time When AI Can’t Always Be Trusted

Assaf Resnick, BigPanda, Founder and CEO

“Garbage in, garbage out” is a maxim that should be embedded into every step of the AI development process: Data lies at the center of machine learning processes - which means accurate and high-quality data is required for developing responsible AI technology. If a system is ingesting poor-quality data, the system will yield poor-quality results.

AIOps platforms often employ complex algorithms and machine learning models to analyze data and identify patterns. However, the lack of transparency in these models can result in a black-box problem, making it challenging for IT teams to trust and act upon the generated insights.

As organizations increasingly rely on AI to make critical operational decisions, we must shift from the scary, black-box to “Open Box AI'' that is explainable and controllable for human operators. An “Open Box” approach makes the AI/ML logic fully transparent, understandable and controllable, leading to higher trust and adoption.

OPEN TALK (AI): Solving Enterprise Use Cases through Agents

Christopher Chang, Gradient, Cofounder

Have you ever struggled to make an LLM perform the task that you intend? Providing more raw context is still only a stop gap. Even though new releases of models such as Gemini support context lengths of up to 1M tokens, Retrieval Augmented Generation (RAG) is brittle to the retrieval mechanism and often fails to reconcile between multiple sources of context. The same failure points are amplified when introducing Autonomous Agents due to compounding effects of chaining multiple tasks together.

Learn how to build a reliable production AI Agent System and apply it to high stake industries such as financial services and healthcare. We will deep dive into sentiment analysis as an unexpected and useful showcase of how you can go from a naive system to production level performance through a composable AI system to manage an agent’s memory, connect it to the higher-level concept of sentiment, and utilize reasoning traces for continual performance enhancement.

Most engineering and developer managers considering open source and open core cloud technologies as part of their strategy understand they need to rigorously evaluate the software’s licensing terms and gauge the long-term health of its community and ecosystem. What still happens less frequently—but is just as crucial to these risk assessments—is developing a thorough understanding of the business models governing the commercial organizations attached to each cloud solution being considered. You must discern the underlying motivations of the vendors or technology providers you depend on to deliver or support open source cloud software (as well as those vendors with strong influence over its development and maintenance). By acutely understanding these incentives, you can identify if, where, and how they may map to possible risks to your enterprise’s adoption and ongoing open source implementation. Don’t limit the assessment to licenses and community health—although both are still very key variables!

This DeveloperWeek Management session will discuss specifics on what you need to look for and consider when vetting open source technologies in the cloud as offered by:

-- Businesses using OSS as the foundation of their own intellectual property
-- Businesses that maintain total control offer the OSS they offer
-- Major cloud providers

OPEN TALK (Management): Zero Tech Debt: How to Build an Engineering Culture of No Deferred Work

Matt Schraan, Livefront, VP of Product Management
Sam Kirchmeier, Livefront, VP of Engineering

Have you ever inherited a codebase so full of mixed concerns, bloat, and untested code that you couldn’t help but wonder “who are the developers responsible for this spaghetti code hellscape?”.

While it may be convenient and even cathartic to blame the faceless, nameless developers responsible for creating the debt-ridden mess you’ve inherited, the better question to ask is “what is the engineering culture that allowed this to happen?”.

The truth is, technical debt is less often the result of individual incompetence and more often the result of the engineering culture from which it was allowed to spread.

In this session, we’ll dive into the practical habits and norms of engineering teams that don’t defer work, avoid technical debt, and hold each other accountable to high standards. With the right culture, you can actually make it easy to uphold best practices across your engineering team. Join this session to learn how!

PRO TALK (Management): Those Engineering Metrics You’re Scared of Don’t Actually Bite

Jim Grundner, Allstacks, Head of Engineering

Discussion around how to best measure developer productivity and efficiency continues to be a point of contention in the market, only superseded by those who question whether it’s possible to effectively measure developer productivity in the first place. Guess what – it is possible. High performing engineering teams embrace metrics to benchmark and improve success, and when they do, the results speak for themselves. However, the fear, uncertainty, and doubt around measuring developer productivity isn’t misplaced. Metrics and measurement often go hand in hand with bad management. It doesn't matter if you're managing a team, organization, or company, when management brings in KPIs, it can often feel like someone is trying to measure away a problem with the team or organization. However, KPIs shouldn't ever feel punitive and it’s up to us, as engineering leaders, to ensure they’re not. This talk will first cover how we arrived where we are today and what can be done to change that narrative. Then, we’ll talk about what metrics matter most, when to use them, and how to get the most out of your engineering data to maximize developer productivity the right way. Finally, we’ll go over how to help connect organizational goals to measurement in a way that helps everyone be more aligned.

OPEN TALK (AI): Using Graph Neural Networks & LLMs to Detect, Explain, and Fix Problems in Source Code

Axel Lonnfors, Metabob, COO

The session will cover our technology and approach to static code analysis using a combination of graph neural networks and large language models. The approach comes with certain advantages compared to only analyzing code with LLMs or the more traditional solutions like SonarQube which are based on programming rules. The advantages include the ability to analyze an unlimited amount of code at once, focus on predicting problems that will normally occur during run-time, and superior contextual and logical understanding of the analyzed codebase. For example, can detect code regions that are likely to lead to memory leaks, race conditions, memory allocation issues, unhandled edge cases, and hundreds of others right on the developers' IDEs or during the CI/CD process.

OPEN TALK (AI): Malicious Models: Defending Against Supply Chain Attacks on Machine Learning

Sam Washko, Protect AI, Software Engineer

In security trust no one, especially not unvetted machine learning models! Machine learning is increasingly being democratized through the sharing of foundation models on hubs like Hugging Face. However, due to the open nature of model hubs, compromised artifacts are very easy to share and distribute, so supply chain attacks on ML systems are becoming a serious attack vector.

Most ML model formats are inherently vulnerable to Model Serialization Attacks (MSA), the injection of malicious code that will execute automatically when the model file is deserialized. MSAs are the Trojan horses of ML, capable of turning a seemingly innocuous model into a backdoor to your whole system. An attacker could easily download a popular model, inject malicious code, and upload it under a similar name to trick consumers. This problem is not purely theoretical: 3,354 public models on Hugging Face today are capable of arbitrary code execution upon serialization, 41% of which are not flagged as unsafe by Hugging Face.

So what can we do to protect against it? Use ModelScan, the open source tool I’ve been developing for the past year along with a few other talented researchers and engineers. Model scanning is our window into the black boxes that are model files. By scanning the model before deserialization, we can examine the operators and architecture it uses to determine whether it contains suspicious code, without actually unpacking it and becoming vulnerable to the attack. It can detect signs of MSA in various different model formats and categorizes the potential severity of the attack.

Often we think of cybersecurity as more of a concern targeting big companies or governments, but it was important to us to make this tool open source since MSA is a threat to everyone who uses community model hubs - from academics to small businesses to individuals learning and making personal projects. It’s clear that AI/ML is key to the future of technology, and as it becomes more accessible to everyone, the risks do as well. But with tools like ModelScan, we can stop the MSA Trojan Horses at the gates and make ML more secure for everyone.

In this talk, attendees will learn: how MSA works, why they may be at risk, and what ModelScan looks for in suspicious models, as well as lessons learned writing an open source security tool.

OPEN TALK (Management): Incident Postmortems for Champions

Ankur Rawal, Zenduty, CTO

Incident Postmortems have been around for a while, but we've seen them being ignored by even experienced tech teams - forced to focus on the plethora of tasks in their to-do rather than diving deep into a problem that's been 'fixed' already. Postmortems not only help teams resolve and prevent recurring incidents, but also give back some of the bandwidth to the engineering teams who would otherwise find themselves engaged in similar or incrementally worse incidents repeatedly.

Modern engineering leaders DO recognise that root-cause analyses are necessary in fast paced development cycles, but fail to get their teams to stick to a thorough postmortem culture.

This talk will help listeners gauge the value their team members can get out of postmortems, how they can write better postmortems answering important questions, how they can make RCA processes intuitive, blameless and actionable — with a sprinkle of sports references and how SREs and athletes are more alike than you'd think.

OPEN TALK (AI): Where MLOps Ends, and Edge Container Lifecycle Management Begins

Amy Simonson, Avassa, Marketing Manager
Carl Moberg, Avassa, CTO and co-founder

MLOps helps teams design and develop their Machine Learning (ML) models and applications systematically, enabling them to future-proof their AI initiatives. AI models are typically developed and trained in a centralized development environment. However, once ready for production, they often run closer to telemetry data sources, at the edge.

A gap frequently arises at this point.

Most leading MLOps tools cover all essential functions for developing and packaging trained models and applications, but they rarely support the complete lifecycle management of the distributed container applications themselves.

In this session, we delve into the intersection of MLOps and edge container management and operations. We'll discuss where one ends, and the other begins. Moreover, we'll explore how you as an ML developer can efficiently and securely align the lifecycles of the central and distributed components of your edge AI model and application containers.

We'll outline the path toward container application and model management and operations for the future.

PRO TALK (Management): Cut To The Heart Of Technical Debt

Chris Greacen, Lab Zero Innovations, CEO

A recent survey of IT decision makers, 60% of organizations report that that Technical Debt affects the progress of development. Many see it as a grossly underestimated threat to innovation.

Technical leaders need to look at their product management and engineering practices to see where technical debt is creeping into the work their teams are managing.

People say "technical debt" like it's a bad thing. But those who are serious about software development know that this game is all about managing technical debt. Technical debt is a natural part of the landscape in any software development team’s world. It's neither good, nor bad. Yet when trade-offs are mismanaged, technical debt is likely to cause your productivity to grind to a halt. For people who hit that point and wonder why - there should be no mystery about what causes technical debt, the answer is right in front of you.

Chris will deliver a presentation followed by a brief discussion with the audience about their experience with addressing one important part of managing technical debt.

Main takeaways for the attendees
Technical debt doesn't just arrive from some external source. It’s a result of decisions and actions that people make every day. By understanding and acknowledging the two most common sources, you stand a better chance at organizing your team to recognize and address the problem more effectively.

Attendees should expect to take away some of the following:
- Deeper insight into the Ward Cunningham’s metaphor of Technical Debt
- How to spot problems a mile away
- Getting real when formulating plans to address the problem
- How organized learning is an important aspect of effective debt management

OPEN TALK (Management): Rebuilding Trust and Delivering Impact: Strategies for Engineering Leaders

Guillermo Fisher, Kuzaa, Fractional CTO

If you’re an engineering leader, you’ve probably heard your cross-functional peers say things like “the team is too slow” or “we can’t trust engineering’s estimates”. You might’ve received this feedback in a 1:1 conversation, or you may have seen it pop up in an engagement survey. When you know your people are working hard, and the wins you’ve accumulated don’t seem to matter to anyone outside of your team, that kind of feedback can be demoralizing—not just to you, but to the engineers you support. But how can you change that narrative? How can you rebuild trust in your team?

In this talk, we’ll cover techniques you can use to focus your team’s energy on high impact work, control the narrative about your team through proactive communication, and manage stakeholder relationships. I’ll walk you through my own real-life experiences applying these techniques, and provide options that will help you tailor your own authentic approach.

Key Takeaways
- How to use metrics to tell a compelling story about your - engineering team’s success
- How to align your team’s focus with the company’s highest priorities
- How to communicate about your teams wins and losses in a way that builds trust
- How to engage with stakeholders across the organization to understand their expectations and better manage them

The success of an engineering leader hinges not just on their ability to deliver quality, cost-effective solutions, but also on their perception among peers. This presentation offers a roadmap to achieving this, ensuring leaders not only deliver quality, cost-effective solutions but also command respect and confidence across their organization.

[Virtual] PRO TALK (Europe/Latin America): The API Workflows Specification – Unlocking API Value for Humans and Machines

Frank Kilcommins, SmartBear, Principal API Technical Evangelist

The disruptive power of AI comes in its ability to truly assist humans. For AI models to carry out meaningful actions upon our request, they need to leverage APIs under the hood. Interacting with APIs consistently is cumbersome for large language models, mainly down varying levels of quality in APIs and their accompanying reference documentation across the industry.

With the intersection of AI and APIs being the nucleus of technical innovation for the years ahead, the question that stands out is: Are we ready for this wave of AI (machine) API consumers? The answer: The API Workflows Specification is coming just at the right time!

The new API Workflows Specification, developed under the OpenAPI Initiative, which enables the ability to craft workflows, a series of API calls, in a human- and machine-readable format. The value on offer from API endpoints can be well understood and consumed faster, making it easier to achieve a specific goal for traditional human consumers – as well as the new wave of AI consumers.

The Workflows Specification can provide a sufficient level of predictable determinism to AI models, allowing them to offer a natural language abstraction on top of the business use cases, while in parallel giving interoperability benefits to the actual API providers. The result is more value, with less vendor lock-in, and consistent API offerings for both humans and the new wave of AI consumers.

The benefits for human consumers are equally valuable, and the Workflows Specification affords the ability to unlock API value and improve developer experience for API producers and consumers.

Overall, the Workflows Specification improves the capability of API specifications to tell the story of the API in a manner that improves interoperability across industries. Join this talk to lea

[Virtual] KEYNOTE (Latin America) -- TechIsHiring -- Building Your Front-End with Intention: Architecture and Tooling for Your Next Front-End Project!

Chad Stewart, TechIsHiring, Founder

Front-End code bases can quickly become really difficult to maintain or add new features to. This mainly comes from our Front-End components being highly coupled either through poorly written CSS or components having too many responsibilities

But there is a way we can avoid these such code bases.

We will learn in this talk how building your Front-End Architecture with intention will keep code bases manageable and easy to reason about, allowing for rapid development and easily responding to changing requirements. And we will also learn how this also leads to code bases that’s easier for new people to onboard and contribute to, allowing them to learn the code base at their own pace.

This is done by leveraging Component-Driven Design and Brad’s Frost’s Atomic Design to promote component isolation. With the attributes these architectural decisions promote, we can leverage techniques such as Functional CSS to further promote component isolation by inverting the flow of control of our CSS. These and other tools and techniques will allow us to build a code base of loosely coupled components, where Engineers only need to understand the component they are working in to start providing value.

By the end of this talk, those in attendance will have the tools they’ll need to build or migrate their code bases to something more loosely coupled, decreasing Engineering time for tasks, promoting rapid iteration and simply making a Front-End code base much more of a joy to work in.

[Virtual] OPEN TALK (Europe/Latin America): The Wild West…East, North and South: Geo-Distributed Java Apps in the Cloud

Luis Carrasco, YugabyteDB, Principal Solutions Engineer

Cloud providers allow us to provision our application infrastructure in cloud regions and availability zones around the world. This makes it possible to build Java apps that serve user requests with low latency from nearly anywhere. However, only a few deploy application instances across several distant geographies.

This hands-on session introduces you to the design patterns of geo-distributed Java applications in the cloud with a focus on latency and response time. We'll start with a traditional single-region configuration and then switch to a multi-region setting. In the end, we'll have

[Virtual] PRO TALK (Europe/Latin America): Cloud-Native Software Supply Chain Security: The Hard Truth

Daniel Drack, FullStackS GmbH, Senior DevOps Engineer

Everybody is talking about SBOM, attestation, MFA, signatures and other security measures - but who is actually implementing them?

This session mixes things up with a hybrid approach, based on the insights from a master's thesis that looks into how people are adopting security measures in software supply chains. We'll take a journey through the bits and pieces of cloud-native software supply chains, spotlighting the security steps for each part. Expect a friendly chat about what's currently working best, the bumps we might hit along the way, and some cool tools that can help. Plus, we've got some fresh data on how these practices are catching on (or not) in the real world, straight from our survey. This talk is your ticket to understanding the now of supply chain security and seeing how much of it is actually being put to use.

[Virtual] OPEN TALK (Europe/Latin America): Observability Concepts Every Developer Should Know

Paige Cruz, Chronosphere, Developer Advocate

Monitoring and observability aren’t traditionally found in software curriculums and many of us cobble this knowledge together from whatever vendor or ecosystem we were first introduced to and whatever is a part of your current company’s observability stack.

While the dev and ops silo continues to crumble….many organizations still relegate monitoring & observability as the purview of ops, infra and SRE teams. This is a mistake - achieving a highly observable system requires collaboration up and down the stack.

I, a former op, would like to extend an invitation to all application developers to join the observability party will share these foundational concepts to build on:

* weighing which telemetry type to leverage when instrumenting
* understanding the path telemetry takes from your application, to any processing pipelines, and all the way to being stored and queryable
* evaluating timeseries graphs!

[Virtual] PRO TALK (Europe/Latin America): How Writing Just One Import the Wrong Way Slows Down Your Website

François Martin, Karakun AG, Senior Full Stack Software Engineer

Tree shaking is a feature that is used by modern bundlers to keep bundle size down (and load times fast), but if just one import is written in a non-optimal way, this can result in the whole dependency being included in the bundle. In some cases, this even happens with automatically suggested imports by the IDE. Learn about the correct way of importing from dependencies, tricks you can use to easily determine the impact on bundle size, and why having a lot of dependencies may not be as bad as you think!

As cloud native environments become more secure, attackers are shifting their focus to infiltrate the software supply chain. Securing the software supply chain starts at the beginning of the development process and continues throughout the application’s development lifecycle, but the complexity means that it is easy to miss links in this chain.

This session will construct a threat model that includes everything from the developer work stations, the code and open source libraries that make up an application, to the entire pipeline of building and deploying an app and the teams that maintain it.

Jemiah Sius, New Relic, Director of Developer Relations

Generative AI applications are oftentimes known to “hallucinate,” or respond with incorrect and inaccurate information. Hallucinations are one of the biggest setbacks to using this tech and are also infamously difficult to prevent, detect, and repair. However, researchers and engineers are racing to solve this problem as the adoption of Gen AI continues to skyrocket.

In the case of a DevOps team adopting this tech, what’s the best way to identify when hallucinations are present, and most importantly, why?

Engineers, and the company’s bottom line, require a way to trace the path of the response—all the way from the user’s prompt and integration with an LLM, to work by agents, API calls, and back to the end user. By monitoring these steps carefully, engineers can learn where hallucinations are developed and apply a potential fix, like including more context to the input or ensuring the LLM is re-summarizing responses accurately, so they can quickly take action and improve the quality of their output.

In this session, Jemiah Sius, Director of Developer Relations at New Relic will dive into how companies can utilize observability to help prevent, detect, and repair GenAI hallucinations and share ways DevOps teams can improve their LLM integrations with context, agents, chained models, and more—with a focus on how to do it in a cost-efficient manner.

In his role, Jemiah is the leader of a global team focused on solving friction points for engineering teams—keeping them at the heart of New Relic’s innovation strategy—so they can find and fix issues more efficiently before they impact their business and customers. With that, he possesses a deep understanding of the challenges DevOps teams face and how, if deployed strategically, GenAI solutions can help solve those challenges.

[Virtual] PRO TALK (Europe/Latin America): Shaping the Future of Real-Time Data Pipeline

Bobur Umurzokov, Datox.ai, Developer Advocate

The rise of real-time data processing has transformed business operations, yet navigating its technical challenges remains complex. Organizations often wrestle with managing distinct batch and streaming data workflows, each presenting unique difficulties. Batch processing, while effective for large datasets, can be costly, slow, and not well-suited for streaming API integration. On the other hand, streaming, despite its speed and low latency, often has restricted functionality.

This talk is prepared for developers, data engineers, and tech visionaries eager to explore how to build an efficient, dynamic, and unified data pipeline for both scenarios using streaming platforms in Python. You will see with examples how simple it is to make your batch code run in streaming with serverless infrastructure from day 1.

[Virtual] PRO TALK (Europe/Latin America): Technology is Necessary, But Not Sufficient

Simon Copsey, The Curious Coffee Club, Delivery & Transformation Consultant

Adopting and evolving technologies in an organisation is important and can offer significant advantages. However, translating these advantages into bottom-line benefits often comes from combining technical change with social change - we must not just change the technology, but also rewrite the rules governing how that technology is used.

We are seeing growing thought leadership moving into this sociotechnical space: SRE, Data Mesh, DevOps and Platform Engineering are equally about the technology as they are about the rethinking of how teams are designed and organised.

In this talk we hope to help you understand how to apply this sociotechnical thinking to your organisation, so you unlock the - often untapped - bottom-line benefits of technical change.

[Virtual] KEYNOTE (Latin America) -- Getup -- CEL to the Rescue: Applying the Common Expression Language to Secure Hundreds of Servers at Once

João Brito, Getup, CTO & Advocate

Practical lessons for Kubernetes "Production Ready"

By default Kubernetes is not a secure environment, and that's a fact. There are a lot of articles and applications around telling you that you should improve security, but actually it is not an easy task. Also you have lots of tech buddies creating new things on your cluster, so enforcement is your best friend and periodic checks can be your allies.
Fortunately, CEL, the language adopted by Kubernetes for validating policies and enforcement, is here to help and make it easier to start protecting your workloads and environment. In this talk, we'll take 5 minutes to show how the top 5 best practices can be implemented with CEL on Kubernetes.
No other tool is necessary, and this may help you to implement your own protections as well!

[Virtual] PRO TALK (AI): Computing Primitive in LLM Space | Building Your Custom AI models

Ahmad Awais, Langbase.com, CEO

"Did we really just do; what we really just did?" was the feeling when I built the first version of a computing primitive in the LLM space. It's called a pipe. Prompt Instructions Personalization Engine. A pipe is a language and framework-agnostic; it's like a serverless function, and it works anywhere with virtually any LLM, like a small mixture of expert models. Simple, right? Not exactly rocket science, not groundbreaking, but oh-so-powerful.
It scales so well, I couldn't believe it myself. 984 million tokens generated in three weeks. It's an undeniably brilliant full-stack AI developer experience.
In this talk, I'll explain why an LLM Pipe is genuinely a winning bet and how it will change the way we build gen-AI use cases with LLMs. I'll also discuss how you can create your own custom AI operating system on top of Langbase.
By the end of this talk, you'll walk away prepared to build your own generative AI LLM web apps in less than five minutes. You'll feel confident building any AI use case, from a simple chatbot like ChatGPT to a complex RAG engine with stellar developer experience (DX). You'll be decisive in crafting apps with lightning-fast iteration velocity and default high performance. Let's go!

[Virtual] OPEN TALK (Europe/Latin America): The Performance Imperative: Why Agility Was Never the Goal

Marin Niehues, NIehues Consulting, Consultant for Organisational & Product Development

In my professional career, I have experienced the development and implementation of agility at first hand in various organisations. In the process, I have increasingly observed that agility is an end in itself for many companies. But this should never happen under any circumstances.
Rather, it is a strategic tool, a means to an end, to ensure efficient and high-performance product delivery directly to the customer. Whilst agility is a clear way forward in certain contexts, it is not always the universal answer. This is where my talk comes in: It's about understanding that no customer buys internal agile processes; the customer invests in finished, high-quality products that meet their exact needs.

In my presentation, I will shed light on the actual role of agility, emphasise the importance of targeted application and show when exactly agility is preferable as a method. At the same time, I will discuss alternative frameworks that might be more suitable in other scenarios. With extensive experience in organisational development and process management, I combine deep insights into agile methods with a clear vision for effective product development. This talk will offer a critical but constructive exploration of agility, always focussing on how we as entrepreneurs, managers or developers can create the most value for our customers."

[Virtual] OPEN TALK (Europe/Latin America): The Oracle Revolution: Bigger than Blockchain

Sameer Dewan, FanDuel, Senior Software Engineer

This talk, titled "The Oracle Revolution: Bigger than Blockchain," dives into the crucial yet often under-appreciated role of decentralized oracle networks, like Chainlink, in the blockchain ecosystem. It argues that while blockchain technology has been revolutionary in creating immutable ledgers and enabling smart contracts, the true power and potential of these innovations hinge on the quality of data they process. Oracle networks bridge the gap between the off-chain world and blockchain's on-chain reality, performing tasks beyond the reach of blockchain alone, such as accessing real-time data, scheduling events, and generating random numbers. By focusing on how data is the arbiter of all decisions made on the blockchain, this talk posits that decentralized oracle networks are not just an extension of blockchain technology but are foundational to its future development and application. The presentation aims to shift the perspective on what truly powers blockchain's potential and why the data provided by oracle networks might be more significant than the blockchain itself.

[Virtual] OPEN TALK (Management): Improving Your Dev Process by Eating the Elephant One Bite at a Time

Joshua Marinacci, Trunk.io, Community Engineer

Move dev teams aren’t against tools improvement. Most dev teams really do believe that better tools and automation will make their lives better, let them ship code faster, and increase code quality. Despite this, many teams don’t adopt new tools because they are worried that these will disrupt what’s working; or if it’s not working, then these new tools will be just one more thing they tried that made things worse. The solution isn’t new tools, but rather improving the software development process itself, carefully and strategically.

In this talk we aren’t going to cover agile vs waterfall planning. We aren’t going to cover that one cool framework that will make your code better. It won’t be about a magic tool that will make everything better. This talk is about improving your development processes strategically and incrementally so that you keep shipping while quality and development velocity both go up.

[Virtual] OPEN TALK (Management): Systems Thinking for Senior Leadership

George Hantzaras, MongoDB, Director, Kubernetes Engineering

Systems thinking in management involves understanding the organization as a complex system of interrelated components. It requires leaders to assess how different roles, functions, and team dynamics interact to achieve the organization's objectives. By adopting this approach, leaders can design teams that are more resilient, adaptable, and capable of addressing complex challenges. This involves considering the flow of information, decision-making processes, and how teams collaborate and communicate. Implementing systems thinking leads to more strategic resource allocation, enhances problem-solving capabilities, and improves the overall efficiency and effectiveness of the organization. In this presentation we’ll explore topics like Team Topologies, Conway’s Law, Value Stream Maps and more, to help leaders structure and empower growing teams for success at scale.

[Virtual] PRO TALK (Management): Debugging Burnout

Samuel Shaw, Battelle, Senior Software Engineer

Working in a product space requires knowing how to take a very complex problem and break it down into iterative chunks. Far too often, we’re so wrapped up in the problems we’re solving professionally, that we completely forget to introspectively look at ourselves and ask what problems in our own lives need solving. Burnout is real and worth addressing. But much like the dev process, understanding the “why” behind behavior leads to a more sustainable outcome. We want to develop a framework and language to properly identify burnout and how we can work through it.
