Talk Details: Rust in the automotive industry: Developing safety-critical applications efficiently and qualitatively
In this talk, Christof highlights the advantages of Rust for developing safety-critical applications through several examples. Compared to traditional solutions, Rust enables higher quality in less time. This leads to an increasing use of Rust in the automotive industry.

Methods and technologies are presented that enable the development of safety-critical applications even when using mixed programming languages.

Speaker Bio: Christof Petig
Christof Petig leads Rust working groups at SAE and AUTOSAR and develops software-defined vehicle solutions at automotive supplier Aptiv. He studied microelectronics and is responsible for several open-source projects ranging from merchandise management systems to computer games.

Talk Details: Why Serverless is the Best Choice for Your Next Greenfield Project
“Serverless First” frees teams from heavy infrastructure work so they can focus on building features that matter. But what does “serverless” really mean—and how do you know it’s right for your greenfield project?
In this session Florian Lenz will cut through the confusion, using examples like LEGO.com’s ability to handle huge global traffic and Coca-Cola’s vending machines thriving at small scale. We’ll also face the tough questions head-on, examining why Amazon Prime Video ultimately moved off a serverless model.
