Empowering Developers with a Modern Developer Platform

Abstract:
In today's fast-paced software development landscape, reducing the cognitive and operational load on developers is paramount to fostering innovation and accelerating product velocity. The paradigm of "you build it, you run it" has revolutionized team dynamics, enabling ownership and frequent, high-quality releases. However, it has also imposed significant burdens on developers, necessitating constant upskilling, broad cloud service proficiency, and meeting escalating product delivery expectations.

This session shows what role a modern developer platform in enhancing developer velocity and experience can have. Serving as a self-service hub a internal developer platform enhances efficiency, and promotes standardization, security, and compliance. By minimizing manual tasks and providing seamless integration using tools like AKS, ArgoCD, Crossplane, and Backstage, developers can focus on their core expertise — solving customer problems through code.

Audience:
This session is tailored for software development leaders, architects, and practitioners seeking to optimize their development processes and empower their teams. It will benefit those interested in leveraging modern developer platforms to streamline workflows, enhance productivity, and elevate the developer experience. Whether you're involved in DevOps, cloud-native development, or software engineering management, this session offers valuable insights into harnessing platforms built on AKS, ArgoCD, Crossplane, and Backstage to drive innovation and accelerate product delivery.

Cool sh*t you can do with Azure IoT and AI

In this session, we'll showcase some cool things you can do with the Azure IoT suite and Azure's Artificial Intelligence capabilities. No boring real-world applications currently running in production, but just awesome demo's that will serve as an inspiration of what's possible.
We have several demo's, each with a different setup and architecture. We'll go over each of them and show you how we built them. And of course you get to play along too!

Modern authentication with Azure AD B2C

By moving user accounts away from applications and into an Identity Provider, we can use a single account on multiple systems and benefit from single sign-on.

But what can you do when your applications need to support multiple Identity Providers? And how can you develop a sign-in flow with the look and feel of your application? Or what if you need to add a fully customized sign-in experience? How do you debug it? And how can you build a CI/CD pipeline for this?

In this Developer focused session about Modern Authentication, we will show you how to tackle these challenges using AAD B2C.

WORKSHOP: Build the distributed apps of the future using Dapr

Building distributed application is hard… As developers we want to focus on delivering business value with new features but there are so much things to also take care of on the side, especially in a distributed environment. Things as pub/sub, state management, bindings & triggers, service discovery, distributed tracing etc. Dapr tries to solve this problem by providing all of this to you so you can mix and match what pieces you want to use and also pick between many implementations of for example state management like cosmosDB, redis or dynamoDB

In this workshop you'll get hands on experience in building your own microservice based application using Dapr. You'll learn the following features of Dapr:
• State management
• Service discovery
• Actor framework
• Pub/sub
• Distributed Tracing

We'll be building the application using several programming languages, Docker & Kubernetes. Basic knowledge of Docker & Kubernetes is advised to get the most out of this workshop.

Azure API Management inside out

In this session Chris will explain how to use Azure API Management to expose your private workloads to 3th party's. Chris will explain the various parts of API management and show demo's on how to implement this inside of API Management.

Demo's for example could be:
API management and azure functions
API management and OpenIdConnect
API management and policy's to do the heavy lifting on security settings
