Well Architected Framework workshop
Are your applications well architected?
In this talk, we will explore the best practices on operational excellence, Security, Reliability, Performance Efficiency, Cost Optimizations. Think of systems and services which provides business values, do you know if all of these services are well architected? You will learn how to create mechanisms, which is a repeatable process to allow you to improve over time.
We will explore the best practices using real-world examples to make it more concrete and actionable.
Developers and Architects will learn about the following:
Value proposition and components of Well-Architected
How to use Well-Architected Tool to measure workloads
Apply the Best practices and Design principles to your applications
Self-service framework
How to build and deploy faster
How to lower the risks
Make informed decisions
Resilient Cloud Architecture Design Patterns
Resilient architecture is crucial for all cloud implementations. In this talk, we explore different design patterns to make a distributed application more resilient.
As part of this journey, for any process, we need to ask what if something goes wrong? Then, plan a course of action to the process auto heal without any human intervention and how to lower risks by performing canary deployments. Design starts with at first understanding of requirements and performing empathy map and value chain analysis.
Thinking application as stateless for all the API calls makes the system available most of the time requires creating a cache for common distributed data. Next, we examine how to deal with cascading failures, and timeouts scenarios. Applications, as part of auto-healing, need to Detect, Prevent, Recover, Mitigate, Complement so that the service is resilient.
Key takeaways for the audience are as follows:
Resiliency is essential for any feature in cloud
Understanding the value chain is critical to identify failure points
Challenges come in determining if there is a failure and design the system for auto healing
The focus should be first to prevent a failure to occur.
Identifying key challenges in your company and tools and techniques to auto-heal and provide a sustainable solution
10x productivity for Developers and Architects
Productivity is key to success in software development. We will be exploring different principles, so you do not have to work for 60 to 80 hours a day? Are you multitasking and nothing is getting done? Do you feel that there are lots of moving parts and nothing is getting accomplished? What can you do to make a difference in your organization? What techniques can you adopt to eliminate distractions? How to solve a given problem more efficiently? These will be some of the questions and challenges we will address in this talk. Developers and Architects are designers, problem solvers, and innovative, creative artists. Software design is an art, which requires both left, and right brains to be active so you can understand what customer needs. Next, we will explore habits and tools to plan, learn, research, organize, teach, develop, mentor and architect.

DevSecOps pipeline to improve productivity
Security needs to be part of the software development workflow. This new shift is critical to find issues upfront rather than waiting for applications to perform Penn testing at the end of the development cycle. DevSecOps is in rising to enable organizations to implement security best practices.
In this talk, we will explore Static application Security testing (SAST), Dynamic Application Security Testing (DAST), and Interactive Application Security Testing (IAST). It is critical to check code dependencies to find out about any zero-day attacks. Threat modeling is essential to identify vulnerable connections. Secure coding practices need to be part of the CICD development pipeline.
Key takeaways for this talk for testers, developers and architects are as follows:
> Best practices for DevSecOps
> Developer productivity in real-time
> Identifying vulnerabilities before code is released to QA
> Protecting legacy applications
> Tools for automating security testing
ELK Stack - all you need for search in your applications
Elasticsearch is a distributed, open-source search and analytics engine for all types of data, including textual, numerical, geospatial, structured, and unstructured. Known for its simple REST APIs, distributed nature, speed, and scalability, Elasticsearch is the central component of the Elastic Stack, a set of open-source tools for data ingestion, enrichment, storage, analysis, and visualization. Commonly referred to as the ELK Stack (after Elasticsearch, Logstash, and Kibana), the Elastic Stack now includes a rich collection of lightweight shipping agents known as Beats for sending data to Elasticsearch.
So what are the primary use cases for Elasticsearch?
Application search
Website search
Enterprise search
Logging and log analytics
Infrastructure metrics and container monitoring
Application performance monitoring
Geospatial data analysis and visualization
Security analytics
Business analytics

Enterprise Security, Privacy and Data compliance
Data integrity, security, recovery, privacy and regulatory compliance are essential attributes for enterprise implementation. Enterprise customers ask for transparency in how the vendors will provide security programs. Many questions need to be asked for any cloud implementation to policy makers, architects, coders, and testers.
In this presentation, we will explore data security and storage, privacy, and data compliance issues. We will explore the security management in the cloud. The presentation is useful for anyone starting from Executives to developers who are going to implement the Enterprise Applications in both private and public cloud.

Top 10 Algorithms for Coding Interviews
So we all the best coders, but have you see the run time of the code you are writing? What is its time complexity? O(n) or O(log n) What can you do to improve the space complexity?
In most of the top companies, algorithm and coding problems are critical before you get the face to face interview.
The interviewer is looking for how you approach a problem? How you solve the problem? How you optimize the problem?
This talk will not only prepare you for the interviews but will also give confidence on how to crack the coding interview challenges.
In this talk, we will be exploring analytical skills, and coding skills of the top 10 algorithms and common problems asked in interviews. Problem-solving skills are valuable and help develop optimal algorithms. We will look at problem-solving flow charts to make the right decisions for a given problem.
