Understanding Inversion of Control and Dependency Injection
In this session, we will explore the concept of Inversion of Control (IoC) in greater depth than it is typically understood. Beyond the basic definition, we’ll discuss the why behind IoC—why it’s used, and how it provides value in both development and testing. We will explore its role in achieving loose coupling, modularity, and testability in Java applications. Through a hands-on coding demo, we’ll implement a basic, custom solution for both IoC and Dependency Injection (DI) in Java. Along the way, we’ll delve into important concepts like reflection and the inner workings of DI containers. Attendees will gain a deeper understanding of how these patterns help manage dependencies, reduce boilerplate code, and improve the maintainability of their projects. By the end of the session, you’ll walk away with a clear, practical understanding of how IoC and DI work in real-world applications and how to build your own simple DI framework to use in your projects. Whether you’re looking to deepen your knowledge or just get started with these patterns, this session will provide actionable insights and practical tools to elevate your Java development skills.

My $8,000 Serverless Mistake!
In the right circumstances, serverless technology can be a fantastic tool in your developer toolbox. There was a time when I went deep down the serverless rabbit hole with Azure Functions. It's solved many problems, and I still cannot recommend it enough. However, on my journey, I've also hit the limits of what it can do as a solution. This talk discusses the timeline of migrating multiple services to Azure Functions and loving their flexibility. There were so many wins from making the move! But we'll also cover what went wrong, like an accidental $8,000 Azure bill because I loved them too much. What should I have done differently, and how can you protect yourself from accidentally trying to do too much with serverless?

Migrating a monolith to Cloud-Native and the stumbling blocks that you don’t know about
So your company has finally decided to move to the Cloud Native ecosystem. You’ve landed on containerization as your first step. You heard that all you needed to do was containerize your first app and then push it to Kubernetes/OpenShift/Nomad, and the cost savings just come. You’ve done this, and well, things have gone not as planned. Some of the tech didn’t do what you expected, and wait, what do you mean our OpEx has gone up? Simply said: the promise of containerization or migrating to the Cloud Native ecosystem can be a lie if you don’t do your homework. Sadly most companies don’t. In this talk, I’ll explain a few gotchas that a “few” enterprises, in the guise of AsgharLabs, hit moving towards the Cloud Native world, and hopefully, you’ll learn from their mistakes, so you’re trip down this path will be more comfortable and closer to the promise. Outline Introductions What is AsgharLabs and where they started, what they thought they needed to do Where I came into the conversation to help AsgharLabs Questions you should ask after getting your app containerized Where are the architectural advantages and disadvantages? Are we doubling up on things? Isn’t automation good here? Why is this thing so complicated now? Questions you should ask about the cultural shift that will happen How the economics of the Cloud can differ from your Datacenter What do you mean our support is now Stack Overflow? What do you mean our goal is to move away from the CCB? Some tangible things you can start with to help become more successful Build that pipeline extension Collaborate with other teams Visibility and Monitoring Conclusion and where you can go from here

The new way of building full stack apps with Hilla
Building full-stack applications often requires marrying the front-end and back-end - a time-consuming process that involves managing multiple codebases, creating REST/GraphQL endpoints, and ensuring both layers remain aligned to avoid breaking changes. Hilla can help with that. It’s a framework designed to combine the power and flexibility of both Spring Boot and React, while taking care of keeping the two layers in sync. In this talk, we’ll build a web application from scratch, exploring Hilla’s core features like automatic TypeScript client generation, built-in UI components, and form validation. We’ll see firsthand how Hilla simplifies maintaining contract between two layers and accelerates development. By the end, you’ll understand where Hilla excels, where it falls short, and how it can streamline your development process.

Deploying Stateful Realtime Services To The Edge
Modern serverless development has unlocked a new level of developer velocity and made it easier for teams of any size to ship software at any scale. Platforms like AWS Lambda, Fargate, DynamoDB, and EventBridge offer primitives to build asynchronous business applications that can serve millions of users reliably. However, there is an entire class of multiplayer and realtime applications that cannot be served by stateless architectures, and building such applications requires going all the way back to manual sharding, load balancer, state synchronization, smart routing, and so on. This talk will explore how we can build stateful services without giving up the ease and speed of serverless technology, and deploy them closest to the users. Using a Cloudflare technology called Durable Objects, we will build a live multiplayer application where users can interact with each other and play a game together in real time. We will explore the tradeoffs of this stateful serverless paradigm, and how it can be incrementally adopted to enhance the user experience of any application.

Taking your http://localhost:3000 To Production in the Cloud
Networks are the foundation of distributed applications, especially in cloud-native ecosystems. Awareness of how data moves between applications is critical for understanding their performance, security, and efficiency. As many apps are built and deployed onto container systems like Kubernetes or directly onto Cloud/PaaS, it’s key to understand where traffic goes, how to communicate with your applications, and how to decipher network protocols and transactions. This session prepares Developers to navigate networks and develop expertise in networking technologies. This session will help Developers answer the following: - What does a packet look like? - How does our code get onto the network? - What is an API? - How do we get beyond http://localhost:3000 with the Cloud? - How do we trace network & API communications? - Why do we need DNS? - How do we leverage API technology to enhance your application?

The Cloud is Someone Else's Network: Debugging the Invisible
Modern cloud infrastructure can feel like an unsolvable mystery. Intermittent errors, vanishing requests, and vague user reports leave engineers grappling with invisible issues hidden in the depths of the network. When application logs are green but users report problems, where do you even start? In this talk, we'll don our detective hats and learn essential techniques for debugging distributed systems. You'll discover how to map request flows, assemble a cloud detective's toolkit, and profile the "usual suspects" in any cloud environment. With practical advice for decoding HTTP status codes, identifying failure points, and building stronger systems, this session will equip you to solve even the most confounding cloud mysteries and prevent them from haunting you in the future. Additional notes This is a cloud focused talk for engineers to help them think about how requests reach the application they support. Its starts with the simple mental model of a cloud application. user -> cloud -> application Then explains why that is often insufficient. Introduces a number of concepts for what types of services might intercept a request before it reaches their application. - CDN/edge API - WAF - Load Balancer - API Gateway - k8s ingress - proxy - ect Finally it will talk about strategies for documenting their own network path and understanding what points of failure might happen for their application and explore a few tips on where to look for logs (or how best to enable logs at some of these hops if traffic/storage is an issue preventing their company from logging the firehose).

AI-Powered Cloud Architecture Design - From Monologue to Dialogue (The Rubber Duck Talks Back!)
Have you ever heard the classic developer trick of explaining your code to a rubber duck on your desk until you suddenly figure out the solution? Now imagine if that rubber duck could talk back, challenge your assumptions, clarify areas you have questions about, and help you iterate on your ideas. This session explores how Large Language Models transform cloud architecture design from a solitary journey into an instant, always-on interactive dialogue - helping you rapidly iterate and refine ideas before bringing them to your team. We'll dive into a practical framework for leveraging LLMs as architecture design partners, demonstrating how to move from initial concept to proof-of-concept code through structured collaboration. You'll learn techniques for establishing organizational context, iterating on requirements, and exploring design tradeoffs with an AI partner that understands cloud best practices and can help surface potential pitfalls before they become production issues. Through realistic examples, we'll explore: How to effectively "profile" your organization and project context for meaningful AI collaboration Techniques for requirements refinement and validation through AI-assisted questioning Methods for exploring and evaluating architectural approaches with an AI partner Strategies for diving deeper into specific implementation details and tradeoffs Approaches for moving from high-level architecture to concrete POC infra and code How LLMs can sometimes lower the barrier to where NOT automating can be more time/clicks than automating your infrastructure Whether you're a seasoned architect or growing into the role, you'll leave with practical techniques for using LLMs to strengthen your architecture design process, challenge your assumptions, and build more robust cloud solutions.

The Java Features You’re Missing Out On
Java has been around almost 30 years and has continued to release new versions with features that its community has been asking for! If you’ve ever looked at major release notes then you know they can be daunting to sift through. That’s where I come in! Instead of trying to imagine how a new feature could be used in your project, I will provide some practical examples of features Java has released in its recent bundles, from simple improvements to our beloved Collections and Stream API to more hearty features like Record and sealed classes. But, what if my project is already running on 1.8? With those new versions come the difficulty of updating your applications to support them, which are rarely trivial tasks. The decision to upgrade is entirely dependent on whether the risk is outweighed by the reward and the reward I will make clear by talking through anecdotes every developer has likely experienced. By the end of this session, developers and leaders will have comfortability leveraging newer Java features to ensure their code is efficient and maintainable while potentially starting a conversation on Java modernization with their engineering leaders. Topic: The Java Features You’re Missing Out On Goal Statement: Expose technologists to an array of Java features to increase proficiency and that could serve as reason to upgrade their organization or project to a newer LTS version. Takeaway for Attendees: - Learn how to utilize some of the latest features of Java to incorporate into your project and improve efficiencies - Develop Java competency by learning sought after features - Assess the tradeoffs of upgrading your Java version into your existing projects, a discussion almost every engineering organization has to have

You submit PR and have it ripped to shreds by more senior engineers. You look at all the comments and try again, minding the holes and pitfalls that you fell into the first time. You resubmit your PR. This time the senior engineer finds new issues with your work. They see your viable fixes, but don't like the way they're done. You take it back and repeat this process until your work is passable. This feedback loop is too long, requires too much introspection and self-reflection, and doesn't help people learn effectively. What if you could accelerate your professional XP gain? What if you could align to your team within weeks of joining a new project rather than months? There is a better way of gaining experience and leveling up and integrating.

The Impact of Testing on a DevOps Pipeline
CI/CD pipelines are an integral part of almost any organization today. “It works on my machine,” is only valid in a few scenarios. Our code needs to get to other environments: Dev, QA, UAT, and Production. Testing is a recommended part of the pipeline process. What is the impact of NOT having active testing in your pipeline processes? How do we get testing in place and how does it affect an organization?

Micro Frontends Made Easy with Module Federation
In this talk, we will explore the transformative impact of Module Federation on micro frontend applications. As a Senior UX Engineer on the Azure Pricing Calculator team, I have firsthand experience with the challenges of maintaining large-scale applications and the benefits of adopting a micro frontend architecture. Micro Frontends: We'll begin by defining what micro frontends are and how they differ from traditional monolithic applications. By decoupling the frontend into smaller, more manageable pieces, teams can develop, test, and deploy independently, leading to increased flexibility and faster release cycles. Module Federation: Introduced in Webpack 5, Module Federation allows for the dynamic sharing of code between applications. We'll delve into how Module Federation enables micro frontends to consume components from other applications at runtime, reducing code duplication and improving maintainability. Real-World Usage: Finally, we'll look at how Microsoft leverages Module Federation to improve the developer experience amongst multiple teams. Join me for an in-depth look at how Module Federation is revolutionizing the way we build and maintain micro frontend applications. Whether you're new to micro frontends or looking to enhance your existing architecture, this talk will provide valuable insights and practical examples to help you get started.

Micro Frontends: We'll begin by defining what micro frontends are and how they differ from traditional monolithic applications. By decoupling the frontend into smaller, more manageable pieces, teams can develop, test, and deploy independently, leading to increased flexibility and faster release cycles. Module Federation: Introduced in Webpack 5, Module Federation allows for the dynamic sharing of code between applications. We'll delve into how Module Federation enables micro frontends to consume components from other applications at runtime, reducing code duplication and improving maintainability. Real-World Usage: Finally, we'll look at how Microsoft leverages Module Federation to improve the developer experience amongst multiple teams. Join me for an in-depth look at how Module Federation is revolutionizing the way we build and maintain micro frontend applications. Whether you're new to micro frontends or looking to enhance your existing architecture, this talk will provide valuable insights and practical examples to help you get started.
