Azure Cosmos DB Change Feed From the Inside Out
You might have heard about change feed as it's been making its way to more and more data and storage services. But very likely you haven't yet had a chance to play with any of its implementations and understand it more thoroughly. I want to help you with that.
Change feed sparked my interest back in 2018 when I was involved in a project that was using quite an exotic database (RethinkDB). Since then I participated in several projects where I had an opportunity to use change feed provided by various services. The one I ended up using the most is the implementation provided by Azure Cosmos DB. In this talk, I want to share my knowledge about it.
Join me and learn what are the main characteristics of any change feed and what is unique about the Azure Cosmos DB one. You will see how you can integrate it with other services by implementing different consumption patterns or using existing no-code integrations. We will also explore the most fitting usage scenarios and a potential alternative.
Peeking Under the Hood of Azure Functions - Triggers and Bindings Anatomy
"Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic." Azure Functions is quite an advanced technology. As a result, it's often treated as magic. But from an engineering perspective, treating technology as magic often backfires.
I've been building solutions based on Azure Functions since v2 has been released. I've used them the right way. I've used them the wrong way. I've integrated them with technologies that they weren't out-of-the-box ready to be integrated with. I did encounter challenges, and whenever I did, I used one of the best pieces of advice in software engineering - "always understand at least one layer of abstraction below the one you're working at". This approach allowed me to gain knowledge and understanding of Azure Functions.
In this talk, I want to share some of that knowledge and understanding with you. I want to show you the anatomy of Azure Functions triggers and bindings. It's the triggers and bindings that define the boundary between your business code and the runtime. They impact how your solution is scaling and how it handles parallel processing. This is why I believe it's valuable for you not only if you are looking to integrate Azure Functions with additional technologies, but whenever you are building function apps.
Implementing DevOps Practices for Azure Infrastructure
We've been talking about DevOps for over a decade now. Most likely you have been at least once in a situation where the CTO would announce that "we are moving to DevOps culture" or "we need to adopt DevOps". Still, the adoption often remains tricky. Consultants come, overload it with organisational problems, and the implementation ends with anemic pipelines (especially in areas different than the application code).
In this talk, I've gathered practical experience from implementing DevOps practices for Azure infrastructure. Join me and we will go through continuous integration, delivery, deployment, testing, operations, and monitoring practices to build an opinionated DevOps pipeline. You will see practical examples that bring together tools and services from Azure and GitHub space to provide capabilities that bring DevOps cultural philosophies to life.
