Idit Levine Keynote at DecConf.us | August 15, 2019
Location: Boston University, George Sherman Union
Register Here (this event is free to attend)
Idit Levine will be giving a keynote to address the microservices evolution and the new opportunities available to developers and the ecosystem.
Abstract: In the migration to microservices, new technologies emerged — especially open source technologies that are suited specifically for distributed environments. Containers, orchestration and more have created new abstractions that allow teams to build and share applications faster and to automate their deployment across distributed systems. The speed and agility gained have outweighed the complexities introduced with new abstractions. The new challenge is to go beyond the early stages of the software lifecycle and focus on closing the loop through to operations. See how new abstractions like service mesh can be leveraged to solve progressive delivery, debugging, troubleshooting, observability and application resilience challenges in new ways.

What’s on the agenda? Scott Cranton will talk about how we leveraged Envoy Proxy and Kubernetes to build and operationalize Gloo Gateway, a multipurpose yet lightweight gateway for APIs, Knative serving and Kubernetes Ingress that seamlessly integrates to Service Mesh with the Service Mesh Hub — a mesh agnostic dashboard for installing and operating meshes. We will cover how the pluggable and extensible architecture of both Gloo and Service Mesh Hub make it easy to use and build to for your Kubernetes based applications. Demos included for to show how to work with Gloo and Service Mesh Hub for Kubernetes and Istio environments
Felix Roberge of D-Teck Solutions, joins the meetup agenda to share how they are using Gloo, Kubernetes and Google Cloud. As an HR tech startup, D-Teck leads the science of psychometric assessments and making them universally accessible through their software platform to help businesses make better, more informed HR decisions. One year ago, they approached building a software platform and had the opportunity to evaluate the latest open source technology available. D-Teck started on a journey to build the software platform from the ground up using the latest in cloud-native and open source technologies. This talk will cover the multiple phases of their journey to production with Google Cloud, Kubernetes, Gloo, Helm, Terraform, gRPC and more with lessons learned and adjustments along made along the way.
