Talks

Developer Productivity: Azure Spring Apps

As a developer nowadays, one needs to focus not only on the code they write but also on deployment, scaling, and monitoring parts, which in turn asks a lot from one and impacts what they should focus on "Coding".

In this talk, Soham will focus on the benefits and capabilities of Azure Spring Apps, a powerful cloud-based platform for building and running modern enterprise applications. We will explore key features such as streamlined development and deployment, enhanced security, and scalability, all supported by the robust infrastructure and services offered by Microsoft Azure. Whether you are an experienced developer or just starting out, this talk will provide valuable insights and practical tips for leveraging Azure Spring Apps to achieve your application development goals. Join Soham for an informative and engaging discussion on this exciting technology, and discover how it can revolutionize the way you build and manage your applications.

Braving the Change: recalibrating to new realities

‘Change is the only constant in our industry’… but they never told us it would go this fast. With the recent evolutions in AI, ‘change’ has shifted from a ‘constant’ to something better described as ’exponential,’ sparking excitement for some and existential dread for others.

In this dynamic and insightful session, we’ll delve into the essential skills required to thrive in this rapidly evolving landscape. We’ll explore and discuss existing tools and frameworks that empower you to maintain momentum without losing control.

After leaving this session, you’ll be better prepared for whatever change might come on your path. And with preparation comes bravery.
