Developer Advocate @JFrog
Devops is usually viewed from a traditional perspective of a collaboration of Dev, Ops, and QA, driven by the change in Culture, People, and Process. But how do you know where you stand and where to move? As in almost any field, data and metrics give you the gauges and instruments. In this talk, we’ll talk about the key measurements for the DevOps transformation process and provide you with 3 metrics you can start measuring tomorrow.

Principal Solutions Architect @SAP
Eighty-three percent of the world’s business to business transaction revenue touches an SAP system. Our customers collect and analyze huge volumes of data about everything from products and customers to assets, operations, and transactions.
More and more of this data is becoming location-aware, introducing the need to combine business data with geographical data. Understanding spatial data and algorithms is becoming a key skill for developers.
The world of geospatial data is...

Senior Consulting Engineer @Pivotal
This live coding session will introduce Spring Cloud Function, from the basic programming model all the way to multicloud deployments. Along the way, we'll explore the current state of Java across Function-as-a-Service providers and demonstrate what role Spring can play in the Serverless world.

Director @OracleCloud
Thom Leggett, Director Oracle Cloud, will do a 50-minute deep dive on the recently announced open source Fn Project a cloud-agnostic serverless functions platform that allows developers to run their own serverless infrastructure anywhere, even on their laptops. Learn how it’s container-native (bring your own Dockerfile), supports any language, and has an elegant, simple yet powerful design. Expect some live coding, a demo, and maybe some awkward silence.
