Surviving Dependency Hell
As a developer advocate working with customers, Ray has seen all sorts of issues due to dependency conflicts. Dependency conflicts come in many different forms and have different impacts on your applications. This presentation examines common causes of a dependency conflict, how you can mitigate it as a library developer, and how end users can resolve it. It also covers what Google has been documenting in terms of best practices and what tools it has created to help, based on its learnings.
Google Cloud Native with Spring Boot
Spring Framework and Spring Boot made huge strides to make it easier than ever to develop the next generation of cloud native applications. More importantly, a number of Spring projects provides cloud-vendor agnostic abstractions to developers, so that with a simple configuration switch, you are able to move your local application to run in an on-prem datacenter, or in the cloud with managed services. Google and Pivotal partnered to develop Spring Cloud adapters for Google Cloud Platform. With Spring Cloud GCP, you can quickly develop cloud native applications & harness the power of Google infrastructure, including easy connection to GCP's managed databases, using Pub/Sub to send and receive messages, and other tools for tracing and monitoring your services. In this session, we'll build cloud native service with Spring Boot that: Takes advantage of Google Cloud Platform highly available managed services, such as Cloud SQL, Pub/Sub, Cloud Spanner. Deploys to managed environments, such as Kubernetes, App Engine, and Cloud Run. Operate the application by using monitoring, tracing, centralized logging, debugging, and profiling tools. Prereqs: A laptop with a Chrome browser.
