Director of Technology Strategy @AppDynamics
The performance of your application affects your business more than you might think. Top engineering organisations think of performance not as a nice-to-have, but as a crucial feature of their product. Those organisations understand that performance has a direct impact on user experience and, ultimately, their bottom line. Unfortunately, most engineering teams do not regularly test the performance and scalability of their infrastructure. Take back an...

Aventurer and Technologist
Simon will talk about the app that keeps him going and allows him to run solo even though blind powered by IBM Cloud. His presentation will explain how he uses Runkeeper's mobile application to overcome his challenge to do what he loves i.e. to run. The Runkeeper app, using IBM Cloud Analytics, tells Simon the distance and pace of his run and using that information he creates a mental map that allows him to run independently so that he doesn't bump into lampposts...

Technical Evangelist @ThoughtWorks
It’s not uncommon for people to say things like “we’re practicing Continuous Delivery, I can hand off to team X at any time”. This talk will cover types of automated testing such as security and performance which are frequently left out of a deployment pipeline. We’ll cover a subset of some of the tools and talk about strategies for running these tests in parallel for fast feedback.

Solutions Architect for the EMEA and APJ regions @Sonatype
Software development has changed over the course of the last 10 years, becoming more and more reliant on external suppliers and open source providers. Modern software development is more akin to urban planning rather than building an individual building, where multiple teams collaborate to create a fully functioning software system.
This forms a supply chain that helps innovation happen faster. However, As innovation is...
