Debugging Microservices Applications
The mainstreaming of containerization and microservices is raising a critical question by both developers and operators: how do we debug all this?
Debugging microservices applications is a difficult task. The state of the application is spread across multiple microservices, and it is hard to get a holistic view of the state of the application. Currently debugging of microservices is assisted by openTracing, which helps in tracing of a transaction or workflow for post-mortem analysis, and linkerd and itsio which monitor the network to identify latency problems. These tools however, do not allow to monitor and interfere with the application during run time.
In this talk, we will describe and demonstrate common debugging techniques and we will introduce Squash, a new tool and methodology.

Insecure Transit - Microservice Security
Microservices are great, and they offer us lots of options for how we can build, scale and evolve our applications. On the face of it, they should also help us create much more secure applications - the ability to protect in depth is a key part of protecting systems, and microservices make this...

Microservices Lessons Learned From a Startup
When we started our - still ongoing - journey from monolith to microservices we had the idea of a straightforward transformation process in mind. But microservices are complex and the process is not straightforward at all - it's a path with failure and detours along the way. In this talk I would...

Microservices & Scaling of Rational Interactions
MB will present a new twist on his reactive summit talk about the scaling of microservices in computer and human interaction. As we scale services by across inputs and outputs, at every stage, we are challenged to rethink our calibrations of true and false. This has important implications for...

Securing Serverless – By Breaking In
Serverless rocks the security boat. Ad-hoc servers we don’t manage rids us of certain security concerns, while the proliferation of cheap micro services raises others. In this talk, we’ll experience these security concerns live. We’ll break into a vulnerable Serverless application and...
