How to do DDD with Spring boot and Hibernate

The majority of enterprise applications using Spring boot and Hibernate are organised to layers like service, repository, controller, etc. What if we could find a better way? We will take a look at a simple Spring boot application, where we will demonstrate what DDD is and how to use it with Hexagonal architecture.

Learn how to genuinely kickstart Azure pipelines with templates yourself

This session will bring you closer to learning how to kickstart Azure pipelines with templates, checking off the following phases on the way:

- getting familiar with Azure DevOps and quickly demystifying all the tools there

- learning how to create a simple YAML pipeline, store it an Azure repo and run it from Azure DevOps pipeline

- learning how to extend your pipeline to a multi-stage, multi-job one

- experiencing parallelism by running both stages and jobs in parallel to save time

- modularizing your stages into various templates and using them as such (like libraries, called from a single pipeline YAML)

Microservices architecture in real life

Microservices have been a trendy topic in the last years and more and more teams or organisations started implementing their solutions with this paradigm. Because we don’t live in an ivory tower and write code for code’s sake only, we will explore the possibilities, real life challenges and pitfalls that mark our ever-evolving quest of developing scalable, stable and reliable projects. We will look at trends, advices, and antipatterns.

Agile and cost prediction – is it (even) possible?

Digital transformation projects are some of the most challenging processes within a company. But when the scope, costs, timeline, or expected results are not clear from the beginning, the chances are high for an unsuccessful project. How do we create the premises for a successful project then? Using a Foundation phase.

This presentation will go through what is Foundation phase, how should it be implemented to get clarity on business objectives, visibility on costs and what resources and tech expertise you can invest, and how to design the solution to meet your expectations. We’ll share our experience, lessons learned, and how we approach it at Cegeka.

Data fabric - An under-the-hood view into the next generation data management architecture

 Data fabric was announced as the #1 technology trend for 2022. But what makes data fabric the next generation data management architecture, capable of supporting both operational and analytical workloads, at massive scale?Join my session to learn about the data fabric and see it in action.

We will explore the journey of data through the data fabric, spanning real-time data integration, in-flight transformation and enrichment, and data delivery to any authorized data consumers in the enterprise.

How deep is the Data Lake?

While in the past the Data Lake was just a catchy word, a nice-to-have architecture, nowadays it is about to be a cornerstone for companies that rely on data for bringing value in their business initiatives. The more the organizations are focused on digital growth, the more data is produced and when data reaches a certain level of variety, velocity and complexity, Data Lake is the way to go.

Data Mesh: Why, What and How

For over half a century organizations have assumed that data is an asset to collect more of, and data must be centralized to be useful.

These assumptions have led to centralized and monolithic architectures, such as data warehousing and data lake, that limit organizations to innovate with data at scale.

Data Mesh is an alternative sociotechnical approach in managing analytical data.

Its objective is enabling access to high quality data for analytical and machine learning use cases - at scale.

It's an approach that shifts the data culture, technology and architecture:

- from centralized collection and ownership of data to domain-oriented connection and ownership of data

- from data as an asset to data as a product

- from proprietary big platforms to an ecosystem of self-serve data infrastructure with open protocols

-  from top-down manual data governance to a federated computational one.

This is a well-rounded introductory talk to Data Mesh. Why you might need one, what it is and how to get started with implementing it.

Leveraging real-time event streaming to integrate platforms at MassMutual

 MassMutual is an Insurance and Financial company that supports numerous products. Over time we have built platforms to support these products, using various technologies to integrate systems. With our digital transformation, we have decided to leverage Apache Kafka as an integration engine to tie these sources together. In this session, we will go over how MassMutual has implemented Kafka, and present learnings from our setup of the platform. We will also go over some use cases we have implemented on the platform.

TasKMM: A Multiplatform Story

This presentation aims to try and build a scalable architecture for simple or complex apps using one of the most promising new frameworks: Kotlin Multiplatform Mobile. We'll develop a Task Management app that will allow us to go through all the advantages, such as writing code once, or using the tools we know and love, but also through the caveats and all the roadblocks we will face during this endeavor.
