Don’t Panic! How to Cope Now You’re Responsible for Production

Day 1 - 27th Nov 15:20-16:10 Main Hall #Influencers Novice

More and more developers are expected to be on-call, provide out-of-hours support, and respond to production outages. If you don’t have much experience handling incidents, it can be scary, intimidating, and feel like being dropped in the deep end. But it doesn’t have to be that way!

Over the last few years on the FT’s Content team, we’ve transformed our incident response – from a number of mildly terrifying multi-hour outages, to a stable platform where team members feel comfortable on-call.

This talk will provide practical tips and advice on:

  • setting up an incident response framework
  • what to do when Everything Is On Fire™
  • improving things afterwards
  • and some horror stories of our own…

Fearless monolithic to microservices migration with Redhat Openshift Container Platform

Day 2 - 28th Nov 14:30-15:10 Hall 3.1 #J2D Advanced Advanced

For the past 9 months myself and a team of fearless software engineers, devops experts and software architects have been working on a transformation project for a large enterprise. Our goal is to strangulate a monolith enterprise application, developed in the last 10 years into a modern microservice based mesh.

In this topic we will look into the challenges posed by the project’s requirements and the overall architecture that we have defined. We will also dive deeper into the principles we followed for performing the migration from monolith to microservices. And finally, we will explore how we setup the container infrastructure and used a modern state of the art platform for managing a service mesh build on top of Redhat Openshift Container Platform

JNoSQL: The Definitive Solution for Java and NoSQL Database

Day 2 - 28th Nov 09:30-10:20 Hall 3.1 #J2D Advanced Advanced Werner Keil, Otavio Goncalves de Santana

JNoSQL is a framework and collection of tools that make integration between Java applications and NoSQL quick and easy — for developers as well as vendors. The API is easy to implement, so NoSQL vendors can quickly implement, test, and become compliant by themselves. And with its low learning curve and just a minimal set of artifacts, Java developers can start coding by worrying not about the complexity of specific NoSQL databases but only their core aspects (such as graph or document properties). Built with functional programming in mind, it leverages all the features of Java 8. This session covers how the API is structured, how it relates to the multiple NoSQL database types, and how you can get started and involved in this open source technology.
