6:15-7:45: Design Trade offs in Modern Architectures
Over the years we have learned and applied several software design principles. Many of these principles have been very useful and have served as guiding principles and, at times, as guard rails to develop better software. However, the principles do not work in isolation. They interplay with each other and sometimes even against each other. In this presentation we will look at the trade offs in applying well known design principles within the confines of the architectures that applications may be based on.

- Free Online SpringOne ConferenceLink visible for attendees
The Spring Framework provides a comprehensive programming and configuration model for modern Java-based enterprise applications - on any kind of deployment platform.
A key element of Spring is infrastructural support at the application level: Spring focuses on the "plumbing" of enterprise applications so that teams can focus on application-level business logic, without unnecessary ties to specific deployment environments.
In listening to the community, we have decided to make the SpringOne Conference fully virtual, making it possible to reach even more of the Spring Community—no matter where you are. We are excited to share the latest Spring innovations and engaging technical content from members of the community and the team behind Spring with everyone, anywhere.
There is no registration fee for the event. By registering and tuning into the livestream, you will watch the Spring team and prominent members of the community share the latest news and updates.
The SpringOne livestream from VMware Explore will take place online on the springone.io site August 26–28, 2024. You can tune in on each of the 3 days for free at the following times:
- Monday, August 26: 9:00am–3:00pm PDT
- Tuesday, August 27: 10:30am–2:30pm PDT
- Wednesday, August 28: 1:00pm–5:00pm PDT
Registration for the online event is available here.
