Talk 1: Step by Step Instructions on Writing a Reverse Proxy Server
In a world littered with containers, microservices, and virtual networks, the need for a reverse-proxy increases.
Julien Salleyron from Containous will introduce you to the world of reverse proxies by writing one live, and from scratch. Step by step, you'll discover the responsibilities of a reverse proxy and how to fulfill them.
About the Speaker
Julien Salleyron is a Senior Software Engineer at Containous and is working on Traefik, a cloud-native, open source edge router. He first started programming in PHP working on several open-source frameworks, language extensions, and libraries. Five years ago, he started working with microservice architectures and discovered a world filled with containers and clusters and where he was able to write and talk in Go. Twitter: @juguul
Talk 2: Decoupling Distributed Systems from IP Networks with NATS Messaging
NATS is a mature, high-performance publish/subscribe messaging system that is a hosted project from the Cloud Native Computing Foundation (CNCF). NATS has a goal of connecting services in the simplest, most secure and reliable way possible. Cloud native, edge, or IoT applications built using NATS inherit much of that simplicity and become easier to operate.
In this talk, we’ll demonstrate how to radically simplify your deployment with NATS, through location transparency, using multiple communication patterns, isolated communication contexts, distributed security, and zero configuration application failover. You’ll learn core NATS features like publish/subscribe, load-balanced queue subscribers, request/response, as well as some of its more recent security features such as securing streams and services with permissions, account isolation and NATS keys (NKEYS, ed25519 based), and decentralized auth via JSON Web Tokens (JWTs) by showing the internals of a decentralized Slack-like demo application.
About the Speaker
Waldemar (Wally) Quevedo is a software engineer at Synadia and is a core maintainer of NATS and author of Practical NATS. Previously, he worked on a container orchestration system that used NATS for its control plane at Apcera and formed part of the PaaS team at Rakuten in Tokyo.
