"Cloud-Native Programming: What’s Next?" with Serge Semenov!

What if developers can create service-oriented cloud-native applications without using frameworks? The complexity of the modern approaches is overwhelming, and it can be stressful to achieve unrealistic business expectations in a short time, thus forcing us to cut corners, delay delivery, and sacrifice quality.

Imagine you can create a multi-service cloud application without writing API controllers, service clients, DTOs (Data-Transfer Objects like request and response), message or event handlers, persistence mechanism for asynchronous APIs and workflows, sophisticated code to guarantee transactional consistency. Then imagine you can delay most of the non-functional design decisions and swap them on-the-fly without changing any code.

Programming languages should evolve and solve today’s needs of developers. A new set of service-oriented programming paradigms can hide the complexity of implementation details and unlock productivity and creativity on the business front. Join the club of the code-first movement, learn about the ideology and how real-world implementation has helped the first adopters.
