Brainfood Talk: Going Functional with Railway Oriented Programming in C#

With the latest changes to the language, C# moves toward a multi-paradigm language, enabling code to be written in an object-oriented and increasingly functional style. Besides the support of the language itself, railway-oriented programming is a concept from the active world that can also be leveraged in C#.

In our upcoming Brainfood Talk, David and Paul dive into the idea of railway-oriented programming and what it means to use this approach in big applications. They share some experience and discuss their love-hate relationship with this approach.

Brainfood Talk: The Art of Architecting for Scale

Every day, companies struggle to bring great software products to their customers with sufficient speed and efficiency. In this talk, we will share some insights on architecting successfully for both: organizational and technical scales. We dive into the balancing act between reuse and autonomy, the tradeoff between simplicity and technical excellence, and the key concepts that allow us to create the architectural foundation that stands the test of constant change.

Brainfood Talk: Creating an Effective Error Strategy

Errors have a profound impact on user experience and shape the initial perception of your product. It is crucial to devote ample attention to how errors are caught, processed, and displayed. This responsibility extends beyond software engineers alone. Join us for an insightful talk where we explore the creation of an effective error strategy that sets developers up for success.

Brainfood Talk: Test and evolve your Kubernetes Operators – a pragmatic approach

We often hear people talking about Kubernetes (K8s) operators and if you ever used K8s you surely have deployed at least one. However, when the time comes to implement your first operator, it is sometimes challenging to keep in mind what matters and ensure the code we write can be testable, especially when it has to interact with multiple external services.

Brainfood Talk: Platform Engineering: A Bedrock for undistracted Development

The adoption of cloud-native technologies is significantly elevating the complexity of our infrastructure ecosystems. As a result, Engineers working in product teams, have to understand this infrastructure in great detail, to even deploy simple pieces of functionality. This leads to engineers feeling overwhelmed and overloaded by complexity, making software delivery slower and more prone to errors. In this talk, we will explore how building internal developer platforms can help to reduce the complexity of an engineer's daily work and what patterns can be applied to create truly valuable platforms.

Brainfood Talk Reduce time-to-hack with container based development environments

As a software engineer, working on various projects for different customers, configuring your working environments to fit the target tech stacks can be a time-consuming and frustrating task. Heterogeneous technology landscapes hard-to-manage infrastructure, and a variety of tools can make the process even more complex. In this talk, I will introduce an alternative approach to streamline the setup process using container-based development environments. By leveraging this trend, developers can reduce onboarding time to just a few seconds with just one additional file in their repository. I will dive into the magic behind development-environments-as-code and provide step-by-step instructions on how to set them up. Additionally, I will discuss potential limitations and explain why container-based development environments can be a viable option not only for IT consultants but anyone in open source space. Join me to learn how to reduce your time-to-hack and streamline your development workflow.

Brainfood Talk: Data-Migration Approaches for Legacy Modernisations

Monolithic legacy systems typically operate on top of monolithic data stores. These datastores exhibit characteristics like their business-logic counterparts: tight coupling and unclear ­­­ownership. When applying *Strangler Fig* to modernize a monolithic legacy, the underlying data store can become a major obstacle. To truly decouple a *Strangler application* from the legacy system, the required data must move as well. In this talk, we highlight the underlying concepts of *data ownership*, *data replication,* and *consistency* and we discuss what to consider when moving data *reader-first* or *writer-first* as well as *uni-directional* or *bi-directional*. By drawing on our experiences from transformation projects we also touch on the organizational implications of data migrations. Taking these dimensions into account turn data migrations from challenges to significant boosts for transformation initiatives.

Brainfood Talk: Unleash the power of Backstage

Backstage, created by Spotify, is an innovative developer portal that brings all the relevant information about software components to one place. It has a powerful templating engine to get you started on creating own components. In this talk, we’ll explore the capabilities of Backstage and learn how it works with existing software supply chains. We’ll also discuss the concept of “golden paths” and how Backstage supports them.
