Architectures for cloud solutions
Cloud applications have been the talk of the town for several years now. Especially when it comes to cost reduction and more efficient use of available resources, the cloud is hard to beat. Its true potential only becomes apparent when cloud-optimized architectures and design patterns are used. This enables stable software to be developed and complex requirements to be broken down into small, manageable solutions. But this advantage comes at a price. Questions start to arise like: "How can services communicate with each other when systems fail?" and "How do I deal with peak loads?"

Serverless Microservices using Azure examples
Why does it have to be "Serverless or Microservices"? It should be "Microservices with Serverless"! Based on some of the generally accepted principles of microservices, we can use serverless architectures and technologies to build highly focused microservices. Let's take a pragmatic and concise approach to building microservices with Azure Functions, Azure Service Bus, Azure Storage, and other services and tools. And it works for almost all software developers: Java, .NET, Node.js, and even Python.

Keynote: What APIs Can and Cannot Do | Erik Wilde
APIs have become an essential ingredient of Digital Transformation and other initiatives to modernize IT and organizations. However, while APIs are an essential ingredient, they are not everything you need, and thus only focusing on APIs may lead to disappointment when expectations are running too high. In short, APIs are necessary for improving organizational fitness, but they are not sufficient.
The hard work of changing an organization also has to happen in other areas than in the technical infrastructure.

The Serverless First Mindset
Approaching problems with a serverless first mindset means rethinking, re-architecting, and rethinking again. Serverless isn’t just FaaS, it isn’t just about the cloud. How can you build a model for thinking serverless and practice applying it? We've asked an expert about it.

“Serverless is unlikely to completely remove the need for system administrators or operators”
Is serverless eating the world? Or at least some containers? Well, let’s start at the beginning. We talked to Erwin van Eyk, software engineer at Platform9, about what serverless really is and how it will and already does change the daily work-life of developers and operators. Our expert also gave us some insight on how the scalability features of serverless are reducing the costs of running applications and if they are, from a financial perspective, unbeatable.

Serverless workloads on Kubernetes with Knative
Serverless is a buzzword that everybody seems to be talking about nowadays. You may like the term or not, but the important thing here is what it describes. In a nutshell, Serverless means the application's scale is constantly adapted to ensure that you always have the exact amount of resources you currently need available. In case of doubt, this may even mean: none at all! For you as a user, this means that you always pay only for the capacity you need to provide a response to the queries to your application. If there are no users or requests, you pay nothing at all.
