Sessions:

Serverless Java in Action: Cloud Agnostic Design Patterns and Tips
Speaker(s): Daniel Oh & Kevin Dubois
Day/Time: Thursday 1/23 at 9:00am CST
Abstract: You've probably seen how to create a Function-as-a-Service with one of the cloud providers, but if this is all you know about Serverless, prepare to have your mind blown!
In this session we'll show you how to create a production-grade, cloud-agnostic, event-driven serverless solution with Quarkus, a Java stack optimized for fast startup and small footprint; and Knative, an open source community project for deploying, running and managing serverless applications on Kubernetes. Say goodbye to vendor lock-in and hello to Supersonic Subatomic Java-based Serverless bliss!

Machine Learning + Symbolic Reasoning: a Quarkus story on Artificial Intelligence
Speaker(s): Mario Fusco
Day/Time: Monday 1/27 at 9:00am CST
Abstract: What makes a platform efficient? Is it how quickly code executes, or is it how quickly developers can use it to solve problems? Quarkus makes both people and hardware more efficient. That’s cool, but how does it work? Usually, we expect to trade-off developer experience against runtime efficiency. In this session, Holly will dive into some of the technical underpinnings of Quarkus’s efficiency. She’ll give advice for those using or considering Quarkus - should you be doing reactive programming? Do native binaries run fastest? She’ll also share general principles and transferrable discoveries from the engineering team, such as knowing what you’re optimising for, avoiding cache pollution, and how to be static-but-dynamic.

Test-Driven Development: It's easier than you think!
