Overview

11th Oct — 09:00 — 09:45 Java for Cloud Natives

  • In summary, the quote about where is JAVA nowadays was:

“Java is growing and expanding as companies mature over time”

Main ideas

  1. We’re all foragers now: Now we have to build or configure our own tooling.

  2. We need to invest in people: Use people’s brain, make them grow within the organization.

  3. Open source is the new normal: Use and contribute to open source is the preferred development style.

  4. Everyone should be using continuous integration in modern software development.

  5. The tapas table metaphor --- Break your monolithic team into small teams to build great things. The number of frameworks in Java is growing at a fast rate.

About innovation

The quote to resume the session

“Code is not your competitive advantage.Your service offerings and data are the differentiator. Embrace open source”

Many thanks for reading, please leave a comment if you have any quality hint.

Keep on testing, better!
