One of the trickiest problems with microservices is dealing with data as it becomes spread across many different bounded contexts. An event architecture and event-streaming platform like Kafka provide a respite to this problem. Event-first thinking has a plethora of other advantages too, pulling in concepts from event sourcing, stream processing, and domain-driven design.

In this talk, Ben and Cornelia will tackle how to do the following:

● Transform the data monolith to microservices
● Manage bounded contexts for data fields that overlap
● Use event architectures that apply streaming technologies like Kafka to address the challenges of distributed data

Serverless computing has become a hot topic in developer communities. The use of ephemeral containers eliminates the need for always-on infrastructure. But the real payoff for serverless is greater code simplicity and developer efficiency. Sounds great! Except the open-source serverless framework space is crowded and complex. Each unique offering approaches functions differently, with varying methods for triggering, scaling, and event formatting. How is that efficient?

One thing that most everybody can agree on is to build on top of Kubernetes. With that as the only common ground though, there is still too much fragmentation for developers to wade through when deciding on the right open source serverless solution.

That's where Knative comes in. An open-source project from Google, Pivotal, and other industry leaders, Knative provides a set of common tooling on top of Kubernetes to help developers build serverless applications. It extends Kubernetes by combining Istio with Custom Resource Definitions to enable a higher-level of abstraction for developers. This brings support for source-to-container builds, autoscaling, routing, and event sourcing. Join this session with Brian McClain and Bryan Friedman to see a complete working demo of Knative and learn:

● What are the components of Knative and how do they work together
● What are the different ways to deploy serverless applications and functions on Knative
● How and when to use Knative’s build features, such as Buildpacks
● What is Knative’s eventing model and how are event sources used to trigger functions
● How Project riff compliments development on top of Knative

Can your organization support developer self-service across 11,000 workloads with certainty that 100% of the workloads are security-approved across the entire stack? The answer is yes with a cloud-native approach.

Cloud-native platforms not only make it easier to support the kind of cultural shift necessary for continuously shipping software, they make it easier to practice good security and reduce the available attack surface. But an attack on the application itself can undermine all platform controls.

In this webinar, Jeff and David will discuss application development code security in pre-production as well as runtime security at scale for cloud-native production applications. This session will cover the following:

● Tools that work well with rapid-cycle CI/CD pipelines
● Baking audit and compliance into pipelines
● Achieving zero downtime CVE patching and updates
● Vulnerability discovery, and blocking of application threats and attacks in the runtime
● Demonstration of threat discovery and blocking

Microservices offer advantages and disadvantages for security. Microservices can be developed, updated, and scaled separately. However, with more and more microservices to manage, there are numerous doors that intruders can access within an application. While their isolated and standalone structure within applications makes them easier to defend, microservices bring with them their own additional security challenges.

In this talk, we'll walk through a set of Spring-coordinated microservices that are insecure and will integrate them with an OAuth 2.0 Authorization Server in order to make them secure. Then we’ll look at the challenges with single sign-on and how Pivotal Cloud Foundry can help to overcome them.

The demands of fast incremental code development require a stable, safe, and continuous delivery pipeline that can get your code into the hands of your customers without delay. Put your continuous delivery pipeline on autopilot by automating and simplifying the workflow—continuous integration to production readiness—and by using an automated monitoring solution to prevent bad builds from impacting production.


This webinar will cover the steps to building an automated, monitored pipeline:

1. Modeling and visualizing your build and delivery process as a pipeline (defined as a single, declarative config file) using Concourse CI.

2. Leveraging integrations to trigger actions and share data, supporting functions like testing, collaboration, and monitoring.

3. Enhancing your end-to-end continuous delivery pipeline with contextual deployment event feeds to Dynatrace.

4. Adding automated, metrics-based quality gates between pre-production stages and an automatic post-production approval step, all with specifications defined in source control.

Attendees will learn how some of the unique capabilities of Concourse CI and Pivotal Cloud Foundry, coupled with Dynatrace’s software intelligence, can put your continuous delivery pipeline on autopilot and ensure safer production outcomes.
