Designing Organizations to Prevent Incidents
This session explores how organizations can prevent production incidents by design, rather than relying on reactive fixes after failures occur.
In cloud-native environments, incidents are rarely caused by a single technical failure. They often emerge from the interaction between systems, teams, and operational practices. This talk examines how organizational structures, workflows and decision-making models directly influence security, reliability and compliance in production.
Using real-world examples, we'll analyze how organizations reduce incident risk by designing teams around clear service ownership, aligning ownership with authority, creating early risk feedback loops, improving cross-team coordination and designing for reliable recovery.
The session shows how organizational design shapes production outcomes and how intentional structures lead to fewer incidents and more predictable, low-disruption operations.
From N-Tier Architecture to Microservices and Agents
This talk presents an experience-based case study of evolving a layered system into microservices and autonomous agents under cloud-native constraints.
Using a real-world example, we examine an architectural approach that improved data consistency and reliability, enabled more stable releases with minimal disruption and increased both the speed and quality of development cycles.
We explore how service boundaries were identified, which components were extracted first and when introducing autonomous agents made sense. We also cover how aggregation and reconciliation agents later improved performance, team independence and release reliability.
Finally, the session provides practical guidance on evolving layered systems incrementally, understanding when microservices are sufficient and when autonomous agents provide additional value.
Proactive Threat Mitigation with Threat Modeler: Securing APIs and Authentication in Azure
This in-depth session explores how to proactively identify and mitigate security threats in your cloud-native applications.
We will examine common security vulnerabilities such as Authentication Abuse, Malicious Insiders, and Insecure Interfaces and APIs in cloud environments, with a specific focus on Azure-native solutions.
You will learn best practices for securing APIs, including strong authentication, encryption, and API access control, to protect against unauthorized access and data breaches.
We will also highlight how Azure tools like Azure Key Vault and Azure API Management can help securely manage sensitive information and facilitate integration with external systems.
Through practical, real-world examples, we’ll explore how to leverage threat modeling techniques, identify vulnerable interfaces, and apply targeted security controls to defend against common attack vectors.
