Evolving Your APIs, a Step-By-Step Approach

When you publish your first HTTP API, you’re more focused on short-term issues than planning for the future. However, chances are you’ll be successful, and you’ll hit the wall. How do you evolve your API without breaking the contract with your existing users? In this talk, I’ll first show you some tips and tricks to achieve that: moving your endpoints, deprecating them, monitoring who’s using them, and letting users know about the new endpoints. The talk is demo-based, and I’ll use the Apache APISIX project for it.

Practical introduction to OpenTelemetry tracing

Tracking a request’s flow across different components in distributed systems is essential. With the rise of microservices, their importance has risen to critical levels. Some proprietary tools for tracking have been used already: Jaeger and Zipkin naturally come to mind. Observability is built on three pillars: logging, metrics, and tracing. OpenTelemetry is a joint effort to bring an open standard to them. Jaeger and Zipkin joined the effort so that they are now OpenTelemetry compatible. In this talk, I’ll describe the above in more detail and showcase a (simple) use case to demo how you could benefit from OpenTelemetry in your distributed architecture.

Chopping the monolith

Micro services are ubiquitous. However, most companies that implement micro services do not reap their full benefits - at best. At worst, it’s an epic failure. There are reasons for micro services: independent deployment of business capabilities. However, the unspoken assumption is that you need to deploy all capabilities all the time. My experience has shown me that it’s plain wrong. Some capabilities need frequent deployment, while some are much more stable. In "the past", we used Rule Engines to allow updating business rules without deployment. While it solved the problem, this approach had issues. Between introducing a Rule Engine and migrating your complete system to micro services, I believe that there’s a middle path, and that this path is Function-as-a-Service. In this talk, I’ll detail every point I’ve made above, and show how one can use Serverless to pragmatically design a system that allows deploying as often as you need.

You shouldn't do microservices If you do, you're probably having tons of technical issues.In the good old days, applications were simple A browser send a request to a webapp endpoint; the latter fetched data from a database and returned the response. Mobile clients changed this approach.The display area of mobile clients is smaller:just smaller for tablets, much smaller for phones. A possible solution would be to return all data and let each client filter out the unnecessary one Unfortunately, phone clients also suffer from poorer bandwidth Hence, over-fetching is not an option Each client requires a different subset of the data. To avoid the over-fetching issue above, each microservice needs to serve the data strictly necessary for each kind of client It introduces coupling between a microservice to its clients. Backend For Front-end is an approach to tackle this issue In this talk, I'll describe it, its possible implementations and demo them.

What I Miss In Java (The Perspectives Of A Kotlin Developer)

Java has been my bread and butter for almost two decades. Several years ago, I started to learn Kotlin; I never regretted it. Though Kotlin compiles to JVM bytecode, I sometimes have to write Java again. Every time I do, I cannot stop pondering why my code doesn’t look as nice as in Kotlin. I miss some features that would improve my code’s readability, expressiveness, and maintainability. This talk is not meant to bash Java but to list some features I’d like to find in Java.
