Essential Practices on Seamless User Experience Across Platforms

Robotic Process Automation (RPA) technology creates digital factories to automate and integrate any repetitive administrative tasks. RPA reduces labor-intensive processes by imitating human effort to complete tasks, thereby boosting the capabilities of companies that perform high-volume transactional processes. Operating non-invasively on the surface (UI layer) without compromising the underlying IT infrastructure, RPA bridges the technology gap between fragmented, semi-structured legacy systems. The RPA solution is based on industry leading products Operations Orchestration (OO) and Unified Functional Testing (UFT). During this session, you will learn more about this RPA solution with a live demonstration.

At this session we will cover the What and Why of RPA, as well as, hear how some customers are already benefiting:

•Save time and money and learn how growth in adoption of RPA technology by organizations is allowing for greater speed and scalability while at the same time reducing risk
•Overcome manual limitations and gain efficiencies; RPA helps IT eliminate human errors introduced by workarounds and manual data entry, all while completing tasks in record time

After merging monitoring teams for consolidation and cost reduction opportunities, a larger retailer was faced with the challenge of merging the tools into one unified platform. We had two APM instances, both underutilized, that were good candidates to start with. The environments consisted of BSM 9.26 w/Oracle database and APM 9.40 w/SQL server.

This webinar will walk through the deployment plan, problems, and successes we had along the way.

Agenda:

•BSM9.2x to APM Comparison
•Deciding on a Migration Path
•Path of least resistance and down time
•Prep work
•Executing Plan
•Checklist
•Moving things over
•Shutting down decomd instance
•Things you should know
•Integrations
•Q and A session

This live webcast will cover:
•Container storage types and Container Frameworks
•An overview of the various storage APIs for the container landscape
•How to identify the most important projects to follow in the container world
•The Container Storage Interface spec and Kubernetes 1.13
•How to get involved in the container community

The contemporary code review practice has been adopted by many organizations and open source projects as a quality assurance measure. This process typically involves software tools such as Review Board and the time of one or more peer reviewers.

However, there is a growing body of empirical research about this broadly‐adopted practice that can help us learn more about the effects of code reviews on software quality. Available research shows that in fact, peer code reviews are better suited for knowledge sharing and code improvements, rather than for eliminating code defects or reducing error rates. The effectiveness of the process seems to depend on the experience of the reviewer with the code, the size of the change set, and the rate at which the review is conducted.

In this talk, Nikolai will share how the LinkedIn Flagship Product Engineering team leverages the code review process to spread organizational knowledge and uplevel individual contributors. I will also discuss the tools we’ve built to support this practice across a team which spans three offices, four development stacks, dozens of teams, and hundreds of individual contributors.

Switching from Express to Serverless has completely transformed the delivery of Pilcro’s APIs over the past 6 months.

It has offered reduced cost, out-of-the-box deployment/scalability/monitoring, and lightning fast development.

This talk outlines why we made the switch with a demonstration of setting up your first Node.js API with Serverless and AWS Lambda.

How fast can you build out a new security microservices? Building a security pipeline that scales with your development and operations team is achievable by creating security microservices that can be programmed in a variety of languages, cloud agnostic and infinitely scale.

In this talk, Aaron will walk through the process of building a security automation pipeline starting with building containers in the first iteration and then moving to OpenFaaS to create simple Serverless functions. Building security automation into your program is essential in building out a scalable security services.

Think a good user authentication solution is enough protection? Think again. Follow the ShipFast courier service’s evolving mobile app and API security defenses as it beats back malicious ShipRaider.

As ShipFast launches its mobile app with hidden API keys and OAuth2 user authorization, we'll start discussing the existing security threats and how to counter them. Along the way, TLS, certificate pinning, HMAC call signing, app hardening, app attestation and more will strengthen ShipFast's security posture, but ShipRaider will be working hard trying man in the middle attacks, app decompilation and debugging, exploit frameworks, and other reverse engineering techniques to keep exploiting ShipFast's API.

This fast-paced overview of mobile attacks and counter-measures demonstrates the defense in-depth techniques required to protect both your mobile apps and your API backends.

As a highly technical expert, you have been successful because of your expert skills. People hire and promote you because of your talent and ability to solve hard problems. This is true. It's also not enough.
What no one tells you is that you're only looking at one of the three factors that lead to career success.
In this session, you will:
- Learn the other two factors (and what you should do about them)
- Learn the four levels of thinking needed to be an expert who leads
- Assess where you are in each of the areas
- Identify at least 2 practical things that you can do to improve your influence, get more support for your ideas and projects and gain more respect as a professional.

Most people think “adopting containers” means deploying Docker images to production. In practice, adopting containers in the continuous integration process provides visible benefits even if the production environment are VMs. In this webinar, we will explore this pattern by packaging all build tools inside Docker containers. Container-based pipelines allow us to create and reuse building blocks to make pipeline creation and management MUCH easier. It’s like building with Legos instead of clay.

This not only makes pipeline creation and maintenance much easier, it also solves a myriad of classic CI/CD problems such as:
Putting an end to version conflicts in build machines
Eliminating build machine management in general
Step portability and maintenance

In a very real sense, Docker-based pipelines reflect lessons learned from microservices in CI/CD pipelines. We will share tips and tricks for running these kinds of pipelines while using Codefresh as a CI/CD solution as it fully supports pipelines where each build step is running on its own Docker image.

Most often developers are spending hours of their valuable time in deploying their application, tweaking the environment to make their apps work and monitoring them to ensure that they have enough resources to run smoothly. This reduces productivity. Developers are responsible for doing the more important task of making intelligent & user friendly apps and software solutions.

It is about time that you leverage a platform that helps in automating the process of scaling your cloud environment with intelligent rules. This ensures that your cloud platform always has sufficient resources to operate smoothly at all times & you only pay for what you use (and not pay for limits or unused portions of flat rates). Additionally, we will also walk through the easy & zero code change deployment, secure containerised setup & self service dashboard to help you address familiar business problems like:

Complex Management & High TCO
Difficult Migration Flow to Cloud & Containers
Long Time to Market & Slow Product Upgrades
Limits in data location due to security reasons
