💥 Join IBM Developer for the very first online Cloud Native Developer Summit. The Cloud Native Developer Summit is an exciting half day of talks, workshop and virtual networking with speakers from Gremlin, DigitalOcean, Solo.io, and IBM. While we are not able to provide real food, we will be giving out virtual 🍕s!
🍪 Free and open to all - come and learn about Cloud Native. Bring your questions and curiosity for learning.
🙌🏻 Please read our Code of Conduct.
We have seen companies running to adopt cloud technologies, microservices and Kubernetes for a lot of its reliability promises but later through an incident learned that the way they have configured their infrastructure was not the most resilient way. We have also seen outages are becoming more expensive, and customers are less forgiving of issues with our products. Ana will talk about the complexities that being cloud native brings, and how we can leverage chaos engineering throughout our development life cycle. Injecting controlled and thoughtful failure allows our engineers to constantly test their Infrastructure, Network, Observability and processes.
🎙 Ana Margarita, Gremlin
This talk will provide an introduction on how to use both OpenSource projects Knative (https://github.com/knative) and TektonCD (https://github.com/tektoncd/pipeline) to build a Cloud Native Application using a concrete example. We will start by forking a github repo that contains some web server code that implements a REST API. We will take this source code and build a container image and push it to a container registry using TektonCD Pipelines. Then have the pipelines deploy the application using Knative Serverless abstraction, this will allow the application scale to zero containers when there is no http traffic into the application, and scale back up when new traffic starts to flow. This is good talk if you are new to Cloud Native application development or an intermediate professional who wants to get some tips from our in-house expert.

You will get a quick flyover of the Istio service mesh project, including how it works. But the main focus will be to drill into the top ten useful techniques for configuring, managing and securing microservices with Istio, through a combination of slides and live demonstrations using our brown field application.
🎙 Lin Sun, IBM
With the evolution of service mesh, it is no more considered to be used for single cluster complexity and started taking shape for complex multi cluster and hybrid environments. This topic will cover the readiness of service mesh for the enterprise environment and complexity involved. This should help audience to get knowledge to plan and think beyond single cluster complexity, design approach and gaps for Enterprise hybrid environments.
In this talk will help audience to be prepared for upcoming situations and client queries where they might need to design and architect for Enterprise level of service mesh design. Therefore, following topics have been planned so far:
- Service Mesh Brief
- Service Mesh Enterprise Environment and complexity – Using case study
- What are the Enterprise level service mesh design options available?
- What are the gaps/ pain areas to cover?
🎙 Shweta Vohra, IBM
We have been hearing a lot about the benefits of using the reactive approach to solving concurrency problems in distributed systems. While reactive programming refers to the implementation techniques being used on the coding level, on the systems deployment and runtime level, we can leverage on a robust yet very flexible and lightweight framework such as Vert.x to deliver. In this session, we will first learn about what the missions of a reactive system are, which, among many things, include handling multiple concurrent data stream flows and being able to control back pressure as well as managing errors in an elegant manner. We will also discuss the special polyglot nature of Vert.x, its event loop, and its use of the Vertical model. Live coding will accompany this session to illustrate how to program a simple use case using multiple JVM languages such as Java and Kotlin, and then we will build and dockerize it to be deployed as a serverless container to the Knative cluster in a delightful manner.
