State in stateless serverless functions - Alex Pshul

Jun 20, 2021Download as pptx, pdf0 likes1,838 views

We went from physical servers to the cloud and from running VMs in the cloud to running services in the cloud. And although the infrastructure got better and better, we still had to manage everything on our own. This is not the case anymore. Nowadays, we have the “serverless” services. There are many implementations to the idea. The most famous are the AWS Lambda and the Azure Functions. They provide a robust infrastructure for running your code in a scalable manner in a cloud environment. And since the solution is scalable, it is, by definition, a stateless solution. Does this mean that serverless is not a good solution? Is it just a cool gimmick? In this session, you are going to learn how we can manage state in a stateless, serverless environment on Azure, by utilizing Azure Durable Functions and how we can use the eco-system to build entire systems, completely serverless.

Blazor allows us to write code in C# that will run on your browser. No need to panic, this is not Silverlight. :) The generated WebAssembly can be stored on an Azure Storage, instead of a server which processes requests, which on the one hand can save money and on the other hand, server a large amount of users. For the backend, to leverage the serverless concept, Azure Functions can provide some easy to write endpoints, which will allow us to have a fully serverless WebApp with a functioning backend.

API Design in the Modern Era - Architecture Next 2020Eran Stiller

APIs are at the heart of the modern software development world. Whether we author a distributed system, a microservices-based application, or a simple client-server n-tier application - our system will most probably expose an API at its core. APIs are a means to expose the functionality of a particular component to its users. Unsurprisingly, many formats for APIs have existed over the years, with the industry setting around RESTful APIs as the de-facto standard, with gRPC growing in popularity. Join me in this session, as I review today's most popular API formats and their relative strengths and weaknesses. From REST, through OpenAPI, via gRPC and to the rising star of AsyncAPI - we'll explain how these API formats work and the tools they employ and offer some guidance as towards when we should use each. At the end of this session, you'll have a good familiarity with these formats, and you'll be in a much better position to choose between them.

Tamir Dresher - Async Streams in C#Tamir Dresher

Asynchronous processing of work is in the heart of any scalable system and interactive applications. Over the years, the industry developed many techniques, frameworks and patterns to make it easier for developers to add the asynchronicity to their code and .NET was no exception. However, most of the the innovation concetrated on a single work item and the concept of streams of data was given little attention. With the new addition of IAsyncEnumerable and the System.Linq.Async and System.Interactive.Async librarirs things has finally changed. In this lecture you will learn what asynchronous streams mean in C# and how you can leverage them to build complex asynchrounous pipelines inside your .NET applications.

Continuous delivery in AWSAnton Babenko

This document discusses continuous delivery in AWS. It defines continuous integration as regularly merging code changes into a central repository, after which automated builds and tests run. Continuous delivery is described as automatically building, testing, and preparing code changes for release to production. Benefits of continuous integration and continuous delivery include automating the software release process, improving developer productivity, and finding and addressing bugs earlier. The document provides links to additional resources on these topics.

Infrastructure as CodePrasant Kumar

This document discusses the importance of infrastructure as code (IaC) through a story of a company that struggled to deploy a new application. The company took 4 weeks and 2 days to deploy the application to production due to manually configuring environments. IaC advocates treating infrastructure like code that can be version controlled, tested, and deployed automatically. The document demonstrates deploying a load balancer and servers on DigitalOcean using Terraform as the IaC tool. Benefits of IaC include reuse, automation, version control, testing, documentation, and collaboration.

"The F# Path to Relaxation", Don SymeFwdays

Born in a research lab, raised in the enterprise and now a fully open source, cross-platform language for the Cloud and Web, F# has been a key part of the transformation of programming since the early 2000s. Programming now regularly incorporates both functional and object programming techniques, with compositionality, succinctness, methodology and delivery to match. I’ll share the story of this journey, and why F# continues to challenge the status quo with the simplicity and combining power of its design elements. I’ll discuss the philosophy underlying the F# language design and how we can look at a variety of seemingly unsolvable technical conflicts in different ways, with the aim making progress and improving society as a whole. Of interest to anyone who cares about programming, open and welcoming to all, come along and join in the fun.

CICD using jenkins and NomadBram Vogelaar

Things like Infrastructure as Code, Service Discovery and Config Management can and have helped us to quickly build and rebuild infrastructure but we haven't nearly spend enough time to train our self to review, monitor and respond to outages. Does our platform degrade in a graceful way or what does a high cpu load really mean? What can we learn from level 1 outages to be able to run our platforms more reliably. This talk will focus on on setting up a CICD pipeline using Jenkins. We start by configuring Jenkins to use our Nomad platform to autoscale job runners. After which we ll look at using the newly released nomad-pack tool to convert, deploy and test and existing nomad job.

When done correctly Serverless offers fantastic potential but can also lead to spectacular failure when critical concepts are overlooked. With over a dozen Serverless implementations on Azure Functions over the last couple years, I’ve learned some lessons the hard way. In this talk, I will be sharing a few of the most impactful hard-earned lessons and how I was able to overcome them. I’ll be touching on topics ranging from considerations using traditional relational databases, managing service and data connections to managing complexity and increasing observability. The talk is done in the context of Azure Functions but whose concepts apply equally to all Serverless Platforms.

How I built a ml human hybrid workflow using computer vision - Amir ShitritCodeValue

While not new at all, Machine Learning has been on the rise of the past years, both because of the ubiquity of data and because of the increase in adoption of Cloud Computing. In recent years, however, ML has become more prevalent than ever - mainly due to its ease of use and its accessibility to non-mathematicians. In some cases, ML can do things that would’ve been extremely difficult, if not impossible, for us to achieve in the past. In other cases, however, ML is here to assist us, rather than replace us, by relieving us of our most boring and repetitive tasks, and this often has to do with the low accuracy in which ML models operate. In this talk we are going to build business workflows using the joint effort of humans and software to automate those boring tasks, while compensating for the inaccuracy of ML with human intervention.

Application evolution strategy - Eran StillerCodeValue

As companies attempt to implement Digital Transformation, they need to modernize their in-house software systems and build new ones. This modernization process often includes transitioning the software to the public cloud, using modern technologies, implementing a SaaS system, changing the system's architecture (Microservices anyone?), and delivering a new user experience (UX) to customers. However, we rarely get the opportunity to rebuild our systems from scratch. The customers are still there, the business is still running, and stakeholders still want everything to operate at the same operational level as it was until now. So how can we do it? Can we have our cake and eat it too? There is no silver bullet, and trade-offs comprise our every choice. The trick is knowing which questions to ask and how to choose our strategy. Join us in this session as we review the technical methods we have to modernize our software systems. We'll review the questions we should ask ourselves and the strategies that we can employ. Starting from lift & shift through containerization to cloud-native apps - we'll take you on a journey that's relevant for any modern software's stakeholder.

Eerez Pedro: Product thinking 101 - Architecture NextCodeValue

We recently helped a client design and develop an IIOT solution. They came to us with a revolutionary technical concept for monitoring industrial equipment based on nano-technology sensor & physics. Their goal was to take them from prototype to a full functional product. We started by analyzing the technical and operational needs. In the talk, we will show how together we evolved the system from a technical device to a full product in a process including analysis, design with rapid prototyping, We will show how it was possible to verify the accuracy of the design by conducting a usability test even before we had a working system.

Alon Fliess: APM – What Is It, and Why Do I Need It? - Architecture Next 20CodeValue

So, you have a mature development process, and you also embrace DevOps. Your development team uses agile methodology. You use Git, and you have a continuous dev, test, and deployment process. But do you sleep well at night? Do you know that your services are up and running? That there are no availability, performance, and stability problems? Do you know if your customers are happy? The answer to all of those questions is precisely what APM systems provide. Application Performance Monitoring systems have become the IDE of the Site Reliability Engineers (SRE) and, as a matter of fact, for the all DevOps team, including the Dev part. In this session, you will get to know the essence of the APM systems, the good, the bad, and the vision about their future.

Vered Flis: Because performance matters! Architecture Next 20CodeValue

“If your website takes longer than 3 seconds to load, you could already be losing nearly half of your visitors” Performance is one of the most critical aspects of any web project and plays a major role in the success of any online venture. Your site may have the best services, products, and content found on the web, but if your site performance is off, you’re hurting your brand and driving users to the competition. How can we make sure that performance is not going to hold us back from success? Join me in this session as we tackle these big questions head-on and unravel different approaches and practices that will assist you in writing highly performant web apps as is expected today.

Vitali zaidman Do You Need Server Side Rendering? What Are The Alternatives?CodeValue

This document discusses different approaches for rendering web content, including client-side rendering (CSR), static site generation (SSG), server-side rendering (SSR), and dynamic rendering for bots. It notes that while CSR is simple to implement and maintain, it has limitations for SEO, link previews, and performance. SSG addresses some of these issues but has challenges for dynamic content and re-rendering. SSR provides benefits like SEO and performance but has more complex infrastructure needs. Dynamic rendering for bots allows serving pre-rendered content only to bots to address SEO and link preview needs while using CSR for users.

Ronen Levinson: Unified policy enforcement with opa - Architecture Next 20CodeValue

The adoption of microservices architecture has continued to increase across the industry in recent years. Governing the behavior of microservices is rather challenging. In addition to our home-born microservices, we also have services that are part of our stack: API gateways, messaging brokers, orchestration tools, and service mesh solutions, to name a few. Having such a large amount of services can decrease policy compliance's consistency and make governance harder to maintain, forcing us to redeploy services on each policy change. Enter Open Policy Agent (OPA). OPA is a CNCF incubation project that makes our policy more consistent, and therefore gives us more control over the system. In this talk, we will discuss what is OPA, and explore OPAs' integrations with all the levels of our cloud-native stack, along with on-stage demos. Join us on this journey to better microservices governance.

Moaid Hathot: Dapr the glue to your microservices - Architecture Next 20CodeValue

More and more applications are being developed as cloud-native, distributed, Microservices-based applications due to a simple reason. Microservice architecture offers an overwhelming set of benefits: better scalability, reliability, loose service coupling, and service-independent deployments. As usual, these benefits come with a price tag, e.g., concurrency issues, failure handling, retry policies, state management, and distributed tracing. This price tag leaves you less time to develop and focus on your business logic. The Distributed Application Runtime (Dapr) is an open-source project by Microsoft attempting to tackle these issues once and for all. It is a portable, event-driven runtime for building distributed applications across cloud and edge. Unlike other abstractions, Dapr is language-agnostic and can run on any platform, cloud vendor, or even on-prem. In this session, we'll introduce Dapr and demonstrate how we can use it to build a distributed, cloud-native, microservices application using various programming languages and frameworks, that can run virtually anywhere.

A scalable UI component toolkit is essential for any organization looking to start building apps. It will keep the code clean and will enable accurate effort estimations. We will explore the process and the decisions involved in building a UI component toolkit and how to get it right the first time.

Michael Donkhin: Java Turns 25 - How Is It Faring and What Is Yet to Come Arc...CodeValue

Java has been around for quite a while. Ever since its debut in 1995, it has gone through multiple versions, wide adoption, unexpected evolution turns and infinite number of things built using it. But what's new in the Java & JVM landscape? What's popular and what's lurking behind the corner to grab our attention into the next decade? Join us in this session as we start from a retrospective of the Java platform history. We'll look at how the term 'Java' is not just a single language, but a platform for others such as Scala, Groovy, and Kotlin, with examples of their usage. Next, we'll review some of the most popular frameworks around Java. Finally, we'll conclude with a review of ongoing efforts to improve the platform further and extend its reach, like project Valhalla and GraalVM . So if you're new to Java, or you've been around and want to learn what's new, join us on this session.
