[Post Event] ITCamp 2019, Cluj-Napoca

By
What a great way to finish this week. This week was awesome because ITCamp Conference took place in Cluj-Napoca. 2 days with amazing technical content delivered by speakers from all around the globe. Two things impress me every year at ITCamp Conference. The first one is the quality of content that is kept at high standards every year. The second one is from the logistic part - the kind of event that is well organised and everything goes super smooth. Congratulations for ITCamp team.
From the number perspective, ITCamp 2019 looks like this: 500+ participants, 5 tracks, 35+ speakers and more than 45 sessions delivered.

This year I had the fantastic opportunity to deliver two sessions. The first one was about how we can combine serverless and microservices to solve business problems. Being able to run Azure Functions inside Kubernestess cluster is a game changer for portability and how we design DEV and TEST environments.
The most challenging session was the second one. It was the first time where I approach a subject that it is not related to technology or business. It was about past experiences in the IT fields and our lesson learners. The session was full of smiles and real-life experience.

I hope that you also had a great time at ITCamp Conference. See you next year!

My slides from the event can be found below:
Title: A developer in the real world
Abstract: Don’t expect this to be a technical session. Don’t expect to discover something related to cloud or serverless. Expect to discover real-life stories of a developer in a cruel life, where business and money are more powerful than clean code or principles. We will laugh a lot, and I’m sure that we will learn something new.

Title: A hybrid approach of the serverless world
Abstract: This session prepares us for tomorrow problems and needs by trying to present a world where serverless can coexist with microservices and even traditional systems. We discover an architecture approach that can solve today problems with tomorrow technologies – in the end; it is a tradeoff that we need to make to resolve current business problems in a limited period with a realistic budget.

Why Database Modernization Matters for AI

By
  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)

By
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)

By
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...
