The Power Of Serverless

Scalability is one of the challenges that can be solved with Serverless Architecture. However, applying serverless architecture in a solution can be quite challenging. Very often solving one bottleneck can introduce new one. In this session I will introduce the concept of aligned architecture and how to achieve it with Azure Functions as a serverless compute service. Through real life examples I will share the experience of applying Azure Functions in a typical IoT solution. With several demos I will elaborate when and how to use serverless architecture and what to expect on that journey.

Dapr Unleashed: Accelerating Microservice Development

In today's dynamic world of microservices, I've observed that agility, scalability, and simplicity take center stage. Dapr, or the Distributed Application Runtime, emerges as an open-source beacon for developers keen on building resilient and stateful microservices efficiently. As an open-source runtime, Dapr offers a myriad of building blocks that streamline the creation of cloud-native applications, encompassing essentials like state management, pub/sub messaging, and service-to-service communication.

Join me on a journey beyond basic utilities. Through live demonstrations, I'll juxtapose solutions developed with and without Dapr, shedding light on its profound advantages and the simplicity it introduces. But our exploration won't end with the ordinary; I'll venture into anomalies and edge cases, pushing the boundaries of what's possible with Dapr. By the session's close, you'll not only have a comprehensive grasp of how Dapr can revolutionize your development cycles—yielding rapid deployment and consistent performance—but also a nuanced understanding of its capabilities, even in less-charted territories.
