Deventer, The Netherlands

I'm a Solution Architect at R&R WFM, a company that delivers a SaaS application for retail companies to effectively and cost-efficiently plan their staff. Our customers include some of the largest supermarkets in The Netherlands such as Jumbo and Plus, but we are also expanding into Europe with customers such as Edeka.

In my role I focus on providing the best possible development experience to our development teams so that they can effectively deliver value to our customers. That includes, but is not limited to, practices, tools, CI/CD and infrastructure.

Cool things you can do with .NET Core Tooling

With .NET Core a lot has changed in terms of tooling. From making it easier to get started, to working together in teams and documenting shared libraries all the way to diagnosing (performance) issues in your apps in production. In this demo heavy session I’ll show a sample of all these new tools and how to use them. After this session you’ll have learned something new about the tools you’re already using, or perhaps an entirely new tool that you can add to your tool-belt.

Lessons learned building our own API gateway

Microservices are all the rage these days and everybody seems to be talking about them. But as you start to split up your monolithic backend doing things like authentication becomes increasingly harder if you need to implement it in each microservice. That's where an API gateway comes in handy as it acts as a single entry-point into your microservices landscape that handles some of these cross-cutting concerns. At R&R WFM we had such a need and our peculiar requirements led us down the path of building one ourselves.

In this talk I'll take you through why we build our own API gateway, how we did this and most importantly what lessons we've learned along the way. You'll come back knowing whether having an API gateway is worth it and whether or not it is a good idea to build your own.
