The love story of Domain Driven Design and Event Storming for creating cloud-native applications

When developing cloud-native applications, the discussion is often focused on whether an application is designated as a monolith, microservice, or something in between. In reality, this is often a semantic discussion where the actual business value is being clouded. If there only was a fun and effective way to have business and technical people collaborate on mapping out business processes and how to implement them technically, using the same ubiquitous language…? Well, you’re in luck!

In this session, attendees will learn how they can apply non-technical Event Storming and subsequent Domain Driven Design practices to design the right-sized technical implementation of cloud-native applications.

The shapes and sizes of cloud-native applications

The recent history of cloud-native development shows that applications have been designed and built with varying architectural styles and functional boundaries. This means that we can build cloud-native applications in various shapes and sizes, often referred to as monoliths or microservices. However, there doesn’t seem to be a single one-size-fits-all solution. So what shapes and sizes do we have, and for which purposes are they being applied? And is there a single, one-size-fits-all solution after all?

After this session, attendees will be able to determine which architectural “shapes” they can use to build cloud-native applications “sized” to their projects. We will be covering concepts like monoliths, microservices, and… lasagna.

Optimize your applications to the max with Jakarta EE and MicroProfile

When using complementary tools for optimal utilization in containers and scalable infrastructures, you can achieve optimal value when developing and running enterprise software. Jakarta EE’s mechanics and application server runtimes are perfect tools for achieving this goal, especially when complemented with MicroProfile. This applies whether you are building monoliths, microservices, or anything in between.

Attendees will learn how to optimally build, run and deploy such enterprise applications. Therefore, the session will show little application code, but focus on the concepts, tools, and configurations that are applicable. I will also compare some key concepts with competitors like Spring Framework to emphasize the benefits and downsides.
