Info about Talks

Google Cloud Native with Spring Boot

Spring Framework and Spring Boot have made huge strides in making it easier than ever to develop the next generation of cloud native applications. Importantly, a number of Spring projects provide cloud-vendor agnostic abstractions to developers so that with a simple configuration switch, you’re able to move your local application to run in an on prem datacenter or in the cloud with managed services.

Google and Pivotal partnered to develop Spring Cloud adapters for Google Cloud Platform. With Spring Cloud GCP, you can quickly develop cloud native applications and harness the power of Google infrastructure. We’ll introduce a number of projects we’ve been working on, including: Spring Cloud Sleuth integration to send trace data to Stackdriver Trace, Spring Data for Cloud Spanner to quickly access globally distributed Spanner database with Object Relational Mapping, Spring Integration channel adapters for Cloud Pub/Sub to use with Spring Messaging, Spring Boot Starters for Google Cloud SQL to quickly connect to managed MySQL or PostgreSQL databases, and Spring Resource abstraction for Cloud Storage to inject shared file resources. In this session, we’ll show how to build cloud native applications with Spring on Google Cloud Platform.

Ten Common Mistakes Made in Functional Java

In Java 8, functional-style programming was introduced to Java. Java 9 extended this with some nice new features. Many people find it hard to grasp the idea of functional-style programming after so many years of working purely in the imperative OOP style. The opportunities Java gives us out of the box are massive, but with great power comes great responsibility. This presentation points out common mistakes in integrating functional-style programming into your everyday Java project and how to prevent them. This way you can write better, cleaner, and more readable code. But even more important, you will be able to utilize functional code construction in Java 9 to its full potential—and maybe you’ll even start to like it.
