Is the Java community still busy looking for new frameworks, don’t we have enough, are the existing ones cloud ready? What are the common characteristics of a good cloud native java framework, why the fast ignition and small footprint are key success factors? How good is java workload If It: - takes minutes to start - require hundreds of MBs of container image layers - always need direct storage and built-in heavy state management - is location aware and highly dependent on the underlying providers - is forcing developers to do code instrumentation for service resiliency - can be only designed with code first rather than contract first approach - is highly dependent on central Integration hubs instead of using distributed integration patterns - is not upgradable without impacting the other services running next to it - lifted and shifted from traditional workload without any modernization - over engineered and unnecessarily producing hundreds of container per solution - won't fit to run as a function on a Serverless platform In this session we will explore together how Quarkus, The full-stack, Kubernetes-native Java framework is answering all the above questions and more, in addition to a quick demo to see Quarkus in action.

Automation is key for all the areas in IT and SAP is not an exception. Being at the core of the companies and due to its criticality, SAP workloads can benefit hugely from automation during their whole lifecycle. The 2027 deadline to migrate to SAP S/4HANA makes the use of automation even more compelling if customers want to succeed in this very complex migration and get them correctly built and managed to follow SAP’s Intelligent Enterprise’s premises.

Stefan van Oirschot shares about balancing forces: Translating efficiency between the Differentiation economy and Scale economy with the introduction of platforms focussing on maximizing customer experience. Organizations grapple with the friction created between the need to accelerate differentiation required to be disruptive in the market and the need to efficiently provide reliability at scale. Platforms provide the clutch between these competing pursuits and enable an organization to realize the benefits of success in both endeavors. By visiting the 4 ingredients; Leading Change, Developer Experience, Platform as a Product and Open Organization with practical, real world examples, you will see how balancing investments across key competencies can resolve conflicts while enhancing efficiency and innovation. You will also see how a customer centric platform cuts across organizational structure and enables disparate teams to come together to collaborate on solutions.
