Playing the game with Azure Cognitive Services
Azure Cognitive Services offers the most comprehensive portfolio in the market for developers who want to embed AI capabilities into their applications and platforms.
During this session, Pieter will give you an overview into the Azure Cognitive Services offering. Armed with machine learning algorithms, he will show how AI can help you reach some hard to achieve goals and how to integrate them within your applications.
This session covers an extensive demo using cognitive services in combination with custom vision to recognize the blackjack value of a set of card.
Enable warp speed on your .NET APIs
In a fast, digital world, data should be served at the speed of light... some however are stuck at impulse speed.... Do you own or operate a .NET API that is not performing as expected? Learn how to boost the performance!
In this session, Pieter brings a real-life example of an underperforming .NET API, He will go over a few steps and show you what you can do to improve and measure the performance of your .NET APIs using load/performance testing and Azure tooling.
Pieter will use tools like Azure App services & autoscaling, k6, Azure Redis Cache, Azure API Management, JSON serializers and a touch of profiling to find the bottlenecks and increase performance.
Expect demos and lessons learned on how we boosted performance and utilization of one of our APIs for one of our customers.
The Integration Expedition: Navigating from Monolith to Cloud Ecosystem
Microsoft integration evolved from a single, opinionated monolith into a powerful cloud ecosystem. Along the way, the guardrails disappeared — and Azure handed us the fedora and the whip.
BizTalk was the museum vault: locked down, opinionated, and frankly a little dusty. Azure Integration Services is the jungle. It doesn't care whether you make it out alive. The problem? Most modern integrations look like they were dropped into the wilderness without a map, a plan, or a decent pair of boots.
In this session, we'll trace the expedition from monolith to ecosystem through real enterprise integration patterns. We'll show why wiring services together isn't architecture, how poor design decisions surface fast through cost, reliability, and observability, and why the open wilderness demands more discipline — not less.
We'll close with a forward-looking look at how modern AI-assisted development approaches can accelerate integration work, provided you pack the right gear, build for the unexpected, and never, ever trust the floor!
