Sponsored Keynote: The Twelve-Factor App, Rebooted: Essentials for Cloud Native Development - Vish Abrams, Heroku

Tuesday November 12, 2024 10:30am - 10:35am MST

Salt Palace | Level 1 | 151 G

In 2011, the “Twelve-Factor App“ manifesto was written, outlining essential principles for building scalable applications. These principles became foundational to the container ecosystem and have been translated into 18 languages, remaining highly relevant today. However much has changed in the decade plus since and it’s time to reexamine and refresh the manifesto for where cloud-native environments are today and where apps and systems are going.

In this session, we’ll explore three key updates to the manifesto that will propel your development practices into the future—empowering your teams to harness the full potential of cloud-native platforms, unlock new levels of efficiency, and build applications ready to thrive in the next decade.

Applying CloudEvents to Level up Application Communications - Vyom Yadav, Canonical & Evan Anderson, Stacklok

Tuesday November 12, 2024 10:40am - 11:05am MST

Salt Palace | Level 1 | 151 G

Minder is an open-source project to secure software supply chains, starting with repository security. While Minder provides a gRPC API for user interactions, it also operates continuously in the background, detecting and reacting to supply chain events. In this talk, we’ll describe how this background operation evolved from ad-hoc webhooks into an asynchronous event-driven platform with multiple services. Our journey began with asynchronous flows, starting with Go channels and then using Watermill with a SQL database for events. This worked great for a single binary but had issues when sharing the database between two applications – each attempted to enforce its own schema on the shared database. The problem gets worse when trying to interoperate between languages – the Watermill library we used doesn’t support Python or NodeJS. The next step we’re undertaking is to migrate to using CloudEvents – a common schema which can be evolved independently of the specific components.

⚡ Lightning Talk: Data Science Environments in Seconds: Scaling Jupyter Notebooks in Kubernetes - Jialin Zhang, Apple

Tuesday November 12, 2024 12:25pm - 12:35pm MST

Salt Palace | Level 1 | 151 G

The interactive nature of Jupyter notebooks has made them indispensable tools for data scientists and AI researchers, facilitating exploratory data analysis, prototyping, and model development. Setting up remote computational environments with multiple data or model sources on cloud is slow, repetitive and complex. However, warm pools of preconfigured environments with adjustable runtime configurations can alleviate these concerns enabling data scientists to focus more on actual data science and less on infrastructure. In this presentation, speakers will present a need for a system to manage integrated environments to meet the challenges of running remote Jupyter kernels at scale. With emphasis on productivity and experience, a solution for maintaining warm pools of such environments is presented while highlighting its key prediction algorithms. The session will showcase a brief and simplified collaboration experience on JupyterLab with the warm-pool system of kernels.

Your Cheat Code for API Authorization - Omri Gazitt, Aserto

Tuesday November 12, 2024 1:30pm - 1:55pm MST

Salt Palace | Level 1 | 151 G

Congrats, your org is all-in on microservices! But now you have hundreds (or thousands!) of APIs. Some power your customer-facing apps. Others are platform services that your front-end services consume. Still others are back-end services used by internal tools. And ALL of them need to be authorized. Not to mention, you need to be able to answer questions like “which users are authorized to invoke this endpoint?” and “which endpoints can this user invoke?” Having each API “do its own thing” makes it all but impossible to wrangle this complexity. You need a cross-cutting solution to apply authorization rules consistently - either in the API code or at the API Gateway. Enter Topaz: an open source cloud-native authorization service that is plug-compatible with Open Policy Agent, and provides full support for the Google Zanzibar ReBAC model. This talk provides hands-on learning for how to go from an OpenAPI spec to a fine-grained authorization model, ready to authorize your users.

Streamlining Cloud-Native Development: Simplifying Dependencies and Testing with Microcks - Laurent Broudoux, Microcks & Daniel Oh, Red Hat

Tuesday November 12, 2024 2:05pm - 2:30pm MST

Salt Palace | Level 1 | 151 G

You’re starting with business application development but soon realize that pulling and setting up dependencies is daunting. Because you have databases, cloud services but also a lot of 3rd party APIs! What’s the solution? “Remolocal” (remote + local) env are complex and costly to manage. CI/CD is there for automating testing and deployment, but the feedback loop is longer - not a substitute for local inner-loop processes. Luckily, modern cloud-native application stacks bring back Developer Joy! CNCF’s Microcks project integrates nicely with Testcontainers to provide mocking, simulation, and continuous contract testing to guarantee the conformance of your work, giving you a very high level of confidence! In this session, we’ll present how to ease your life when setting up your development environment and testing your APIs! We will also share end-user stories about how Microcks increases developer productivity for efficient cloud-native Java development inner-loop!

Fake It to Make It! - TDD of gRPC Microservices - Ed Crewe, EnterpriseDB

Tuesday November 12, 2024 2:40pm - 3:05pm MST

Salt Palace | Level 1 | 151 G

For unit testing cloud native applications we mock a lot, dependencies are in the cloud, and unit tests should be isolated. For testing the full service delivered by k8s composed microservices, we can easily stand up ephemeral test deployments as part of CI/CD. K8s gives us replicable IaC out of the box. Add E2E tests to our pipeline and we are good, right? Unfortunately no, that means we not only have an hourglass of testing. But one whose bottom may barely test if your code actually works, whatever the coverage says. Leaving us relying on very slow and expensive E2E build and test feedback from our CI/CD requiring full k8s cluster deployments. This talk is about why developers need to turn that hourglass of testing back into a pyramid and how to do so. Enabling efficient test driven refactoring of your microservices by developing fast fake frameworks for functional testing. Driving up quality via rapid development and refactoring cycles.

Tuesday November 12, 2024 3:20pm - 3:45pm MST

Salt Palace | Level 1 | 151 G

OpenTelemetry has gained momentum in the observability space, with a wide range of vendors supporting the specification. In this presentation, we will look into how developers can benefit from having a clear observability strategy by also adding continuous profiling to the mix. Setting up and understanding distributed application traces and profiling information used to be a complex task, usually left for critical situations where things go wrong. Join us on a journey to combine traces and profiling data to understand how our applications perform and where the bottlenecks are.

Introducing Dagger Modules: Open Source CI/CD Building Blocks You Already Know How to Write - Jeremy Adams, Dagger

Tuesday November 12, 2024 3:55pm - 4:20pm MST

Salt Palace | Level 1 | 151 G

You need CI that can adapt as fast as the apps you’re writing. But often CI ends up being a bottleneck. For one CI PR you need to learn proprietary YAML syntax (every CI different) and how to work around its limitations conditionals, loops, functions, variables, ...which would be effortless if it was just a real programming language that you already know. You find yourself writing additional scripts and hacks to bring the logic to local dev. Enter the OSS Dagger project that brings CI as code (TypeScript, Go, Python). In this talk, I’ll use Dagger to show how to build and share reusable CI/CD modules that can be written in any language and "just work" together. This talk will be good for developers/platform engineers or anyone else that needs a lightweight, code-based CI platform that can run locally and in any CI. If you’re technically curious, you should be able to build and share a module right after the talk (or maybe during!).

⚡ Lightning Talk: LLM-Driven Applications: Intro to LLM Agents in Kubernetes - Calum Murray, University of Toronto

Tuesday November 12, 2024 5:00pm - 5:10pm MST

Salt Palace | Level 1 | 151 G

Over the past year, there has been a lot of important work and discussions around how to run Large Language Models (LLMs) on top of Kubernetes. But what happens once you have your LLM running in your cluster? How can you build an application around your LLM, where the LLM can act as an agent and call out to various services you have deployed in your cluster to solve complex tasks that would otherwise cause the LLM to hallucinate? Is there a way to do this without making changes to the services and deployments already in your cluster? In this talk I will be exploring what an LLM agent is and how you build an agent that will call out to your services. I will show this with a demo of an LLM agent running in a kubernetes cluster that is able to automatically detect new tools and agents deployed to the cluster and coordinate them to complete complex tasks in a conversation with the user.

⚡ Lightning Talk: Searching for Serverless Candidates in the Jungle of Microservices - Yash Bhatnagar, Google

Tuesday November 12, 2024 5:15pm - 5:25pm MST

Salt Palace | Level 1 | 151 G

Everyone wants a judicial use of resources - and serverless computing makes it happen by limiting the idle resources. While services with clear functional use cases are developed as one, more often than not such benefits are not clear - such as unclear or changing application usage patterns. Similarly several historical services could now be suited for serverless functions based on they way they are actually used. However they are rarely investigated because their impact remains opaque - a lack of cost/performance benefits and whether re-architecture effort is justified. In this talk, the Yash will showcase a case study about how they went researching for serverless candidates in their real world systems and how surprising the results were. He will also showcase the impact and key learnings - how turning even lightweight microservices into serverless functions helped saved significantly on infra costs AND, also improving the peak load performance of several unrelated services!
