Unless you’ve spent the last few months in outer space, or at the very least out of reach from the Internet, you’ve seen that serverless is one of the hottest topics when it comes to building apps. Over the last few months we’ve seen AWS announcing a ton of things at their annual user conference, Google announced support for Go in private beta and serverless containers in private alpha and even Gitlab announced some form of serverless support. With so many massive players it’s easy to forget smaller ones, but those smaller ones are quite often pretty interesting.

There are many challenges facing software development specifically when building and deploying new microservices as we try to do every day. Using Cloud-Native technologies we can navigate some of those risks, but not all of our development practices, especially security and compliance, have kept up with the speed in which the rest of our tech stack has evolved. In this presentation I cover how JFrog Xray helps you safely deploy your artifacts to production with full confidence.

A smart security camera takes in a high volume of video images and processes those images using a set of machine learning models. Those models can be used to identify interesting snippets of movement throughout the day, and decide which of those snippets to keep. Some of the video snippets might contain movement of birds–but other video snippets might contain footage of intruders.

Two weeks ago, I had the amazing opportunity to be at AirFrance/KLM in KLM’s Digital Studio to talk about Project Flogo and brainstorm on where they could use Flogo to improve and expand their digital footprint. The team was kind enough to share the recorded video on YouTube!

No matter the metric, serverless is definitely gaining interest. It’s the dream of every developer, supplying the ability to deploy services in the cloud in no time, automatically scale them, enjoy automagic management by a cloud provider—and, most important, keep it all cost effective! How does this dream become a reality?

This presentation covered what serverless is all about and the benefits of running your apps in the serverless environment. It covers the monoliths-microservices-functions progression and when, where, and why to use serverless architecture and how Project Flogo fits in to the overall picture

Innovation at the edge is driven by a whole host of people and personalities, but who makes sure those innovations get into production? Developers!

Join Leon Stigter, developer advocate at TIBCO, as he demonstrates tools and technologies to help developers build better software, faster.

This TIBCO Tech Talk covers:

• The latest in updates for Project Flogo, an open-source and ultra-lightweight edge computing platform
• A brief demo of Flogo and API Scout
• How to jumpstart your developer journey

In today’s world everyone is building apps, most times those apps are event-driven and react to what happens around them. How do you take those apps to, let’s say, a Kubernetes cluster, or let them communicate between cloud and on-premises, and how can developers and non-developers work together using the same tools?

Let’s break down the title a bit…

As a developer advocate, I’m in the amazing position to talk to lots and lots of developers. Throughout those conversations I hear a lot of the same concerns popping up. Two of those being, “where did I deploy that microservice?” 😩 and “what is the API definition of that microservice again?"😟

Not too long ago Flogo introduced a new Go API that allows you to build event-driven apps by simply embedding the Flogo engine in your existing Go code. Now you can use the event-driven engine of Flogo to build Go apps while using the activities and triggers that already exist and combining that with “regular” Go code. In one of my other posts, I built an app that could receive messages from PubNub and for this post, I’ll walk through building the exact same using the Go API.
