Brainfood Talks

Today’s architectural challenges, especially in IoT scenarios, are often tackled using distributed systems with microservices as significant building blocks. While microservices offer great benefits, they tend to increase the overall complexity of a system. In this talk, we will show how actor frameworks can significantly mitigate those problems, using a long-forgotten paradigm from the early days of computer science.

Are you estimating your software projects? Some say don’t. But why? Let’s revisit the no-estimates movement together and figure out where it does make sense to estimate and when it’s just a waste of time. On our way, we’ll dig deep into real-world examples of organizational structures and their estimates, as well as lean and agile software development.

Reactive architectures enable us to build more robust and scalable full-stack apps from the get-go by using modern API architectures along with the power of the cloud. Learn why we are amidst a paradigm shift — from pull-based and synchronous to push-based and asynchronous reactive architectures.

Agile Transformations can be started and accompanied in various ways. Besides a bunch of techniques and practices, we saw three different layers that need to be taken care of at the course of a successful transformation.

Boost your knowledge of Cloud Native Infrastructure by gaining a fundamental understanding of Kubernetes and its components.

Get a primer on how to slice your Microservices to avoid creating a distributed monolith by focusing on customer journeys instead of Entities in your business.

Migrating legacy monoliths is complex and can cause a lot of pain within organisations. We will explain how to move business logic and data out of a monolith using powerful migration patterns!
