ISTA Con 2015, November 18-19 - Sofia

Next month I am invited to participate as a speaker at ISTA Con 2015. This conference takes place in Sofia, Bulgaria. It seems that each year the conference is getting bigger and bigger. Last year there were more than 600 people that participated at the event.

A big difference between ISTA Con and other conferences is the number of tracks in parallel - there are 4 track in parallel and more than 30 speakers from 3 continents will speak.

 one. 
I'll talk about cloud and how to scale above clouds limits. We are living in era of cloud (Azure, Google, AWS) where scalability is not a real problem. Scalability may not be a real problem anymore. For having a good cloud solution you need more than 1.000 VMs and an ESB (Enterprise Service Bus). You need a healthy and reliable architecture.

See you at ISTA Con 2015, that will take place in Sofia (November 18-19, 2015).  

My session:
Title: How to scale above clouds limits 
Abstract: The number of devices that are online increases every day. The quantity of digital content that is produced every year sets new record each time. Last but not least clients are more and more demanding. A cloud provider offers us a great basket of resources but we need to know how to use and manage them. In this session we will talk about how to scale over this limits and how to be prepared for this kind of situations. If we are designing our system to be prepared to scale over cloud services limits then we will have a system that will be used in 5 year from now. We will talk about different scenarios when it is easy to reach different limits and we will learn how to overcome them.

Why Database Modernization Matters for AI

  When companies transition to the cloud, they typically begin with applications and virtual machines, which is often the easier part of the process. The actual complexity arises later when databases are moved. To save time and effort, cloud adoption is more of a cloud migration in an IaaS manner, fulfilling current, but not future needs. Even organisations that are already in the cloud find that their databases, although “migrated,” are not genuinely modernised. This disparity becomes particularly evident when they begin to explore AI technologies. Understanding Modernisation Beyond Migration Database modernisation is distinct from merely relocating an outdated database to Azure. It's about making your data layer ready for future needs, like automation, real-time analytics, and AI capabilities. AI needs high throughput, which can be achieved using native DB cloud capabilities. When your database runs in a traditional setup (even hosted in the cloud), in that case, you will enc...

Cloud Myths: Migrating to the cloud is quick and easy (Pill 2 of 5 / Cloud Pills)

The idea that migration to the cloud is simple, straightforward and rapid is a wrong assumption. It’s a common misconception of business stakeholders that generates delays, budget overruns and technical dept. A migration requires laborious planning, technical expertise and a rigorous process.  Migrations, especially cloud migrations, are not one-size-fits-all journeys. One of the most critical steps is under evaluation, under budget and under consideration. The evaluation phase, where existing infrastructure, applications, database, network and the end-to-end estate are evaluated and mapped to a cloud strategy, is crucial to ensure the success of cloud migration. Additional factors such as security, compliance, and system dependencies increase the complexity of cloud migration.  A misconception regarding lift-and-shits is that they are fast and cheap. Moving applications to the cloud without changes does not provide the capability to optimise costs and performance, leading to ...

Cloud Myths: Cloud is Cheaper (Pill 1 of 5 / Cloud Pills)

Cloud Myths: Cloud is Cheaper (Pill 1 of 5 / Cloud Pills) The idea that moving to the cloud reduces the costs is a common misconception. The cloud infrastructure provides flexibility, scalability, and better CAPEX, but it does not guarantee lower costs without proper optimisation and management of the cloud services and infrastructure. Idle and unused resources, overprovisioning, oversize databases, and unnecessary data transfer can increase running costs. The regional pricing mode, multi-cloud complexity, and cost variety add extra complexity to the cost function. Cloud adoption without a cost governance strategy can result in unexpected expenses. Improper usage, combined with a pay-as-you-go model, can result in a nightmare for business stakeholders who cannot track and manage the monthly costs. Cloud-native services such as AI services, managed databases, and analytics platforms are powerful, provide out-of-the-shelve capabilities, and increase business agility and innovation. H...
