Talk: Scale Oriented Architecture

Modern apps are distributed, powered by a network of loosely-connected services that span every part of an organization. But APIs can be leveraged for more than just technical reasons, helping us scale our teams as much as our infrastructure. Learn about strategies for building a scale-oriented architecture applicable for teams of 2 to 200.

Talk: The Future of IoT Protocols and APIs— Room for improvement or business as usual?

The installed base of active wireless connected devices is expected to exceed 40 billion by 2020. Will our current networking protocols and messaging formats be able to cope with the demand, or will we need to rethink the way machines of all types communicate via the Internet? In this talk we'll discuss some of the emerging messaging and API standards in IoT and debate the tradeoffs between ease-of-use, adoption and planning for future growth.
