AmsterdamPHP - Moving from App Services to Azure Functions

Moving from App Services to Azure Functions
-----------------------------------------------------------------
When we first started out with Azure, we created VM’s to run our web applications and backend services. Afterwards we moved our web application logic into App Services while using native Azure Services for our backend requirements. With containers we could isolate our individual web application components even further and allowed us to go full DevOps. Now Azure Functions allows us to remove a complete application stack allowing us to focus purely on functionality.

In this talk I go over the several phases we went through and how we now leverage Azure Functions to achieve higher throughput and faster delivery times while reducing the complexity of the web application and costs.

Mutation testing with Infection
--------------------------------------------
With the rise of cyber attacks and an increasing competitive market, it’s even more important to ensure that your application delivers exactly what you had envisioned and you can make changes continuously. By providing mutation testing in your set of tests, you at least have a good indicator where to focus your attention and ensure a successful deployment every time.

In this session we’re going to look at Infection, the Mutation Testing Framework for PHP and show with an example application how these mutations can have a negative impact on your application and how you can use Infection to mitigate these risks and improve the quality of your tests and your application source code.

Ode aan de Code #10 | Met Michelangelo van Dam over "DevOps or DevSecOps"

DevOps or DevSecOps
--------------------------------
In this talk I will explain how the original idea of Patrick to include all stakeholders got reduced to development, QA and operations and why it's so difficult to apply security or compliance improvements in this model. I will also talk about ways to make the DQO model welcoming for security experts and legal teams and why "DevSecOps" is now the term to be used to ensure security is no longer omitted from the value process.

Finally we'll have a vote if we keep the term "DevOps" as an all-inclusive representation for all stakeholders or if we need to start using "DevSecOps" to ensure the business understands can no longer ignore the importance of security.

DWA Internal session

Privacy by design, yes we can!
-------------------------------------------
We now have to obey the law and comply with GDPR, ensuring people's data are securely stored, we track who has access to it and if the client requests to review, update or remove their data, we should do so in an automated fashion. But, are you there yet? Chances are, there's still a long way to go.

In this talk I will address some of the challenges we solved in greenfield projects as well in old, legacy applications. We introduced "privacy by design" as just another "by design" mantra we already had build in our workflow and as we worked on the project, we applied it everywhere when we saw user data (personal or not) was processed. This ensured that all data was handled and treated the same way and allowed the business to reorient themselves again to be creative in approaching their customers.
