From 0 to 100 - On prem Monolith to Distributed Function as a Service
Jack Liddiard, Resilient PLC

Cloud native, distributed systems, function as a service and machine learning have become the norm around the office in recent years.

With access to a variety of knowledge around micro-services in the cloud - the task has become almost instinctive. However few speak about the difficult journey from migrating an on premise monolith to a cloud native solution while sustaining full service.

In this talk I'll explain how Resilient sustained 1.3 billion minutes a year, 240 million calls a year and 60% emergency service traffic routing through us without losing a single minute of call time.

We will look at:
- The practicalities of moving from on prem to cloud
- Breaking out existing services to individual services and vertical teams
- Placing new and legacy services into the cloud while sustaining full service
- Monitoring and tracing in the cloud and on prem
- Hooks into existing system
- How the engineering team helped move a business from on prem to the cloud

All to detect fraud in sub 200 milliseconds.

Jack is a highly skilled, passionate senior software engineer specialising in Scala/Java. His core skills lie in distributed Scala/Java systems leveraging the bleeding edge of technology including Akka, Serverless & deep learning techniques to sustain and build a fraud detection at Resilient PLC.

Challenging the principles of Microservices
William Perkins, River Island

Microservices have well known principles, such as being independently deployable, but how important are they? In this talk I'll explore the most important principles of Microservices and touch on real world examples where they have worked and sometimes not!

Will is a technical leader who specialises in cloud native technologies such as Microservices, Kubernetes and Serverless. Over his career he has developed competencies in multiple languages and technologies, seen trends come and go. He's passionate about building exceptional teams that align to the desires of the business to achieve success.
