Are you doing or considering Cloud Native microservices? Ever wondered what the unique challenges are and how best to address them on fully-open Java technologies? Are you doing the Cloud Native microservices the right way? In this workshop, you'll learn what it means to be cloud-native and how that impacts application development. You'll learn about Eclipse MicroProfile, an industry collaboration defining technologies for the development and management of cloud-native microservices. With a full set of MicroProfile workshop modules available to you, you'll be able to start with the basics of REST services and progress to more advanced topics such as secure, fault tolerant, configurable and monitorable microservices. Once you've developed your microservice, you'll learn how to package it in a Docker container and deploy it to a Kubernetes cluster. The role of a service mesh and use of Istio to manage your microservice interactions will also be learned. Finally, you can also learn how to deploy onto Open Shift, an enterprise Kubernetes application platform, to see how your microservice function. In summary, this workshop connects powerful open stacks to cover end-to-end cloud-native microservices from development to deployment.

After creating your first microservice and putting it into production, you heard a lot of people talking about reactive. You'd like to find out more about reactive and have several questions: Why should I care? What I can do to make my microservice reactive, nonblocking? How can I use CompletionStage in my microservices? Should I consider using Reactive Streams? Come to this session to find out what reactive means. It explains reactive programming and then Reactive Streams, followed by a demo of using MicroProfile Fault Tolerance, MicroProfile Reactive Streams Operators, and MicroProfile Reactive Messaging to create a truly reactive microservice and integrate with Kafka.

Join us for the annual Women in Tech Breakfast at DevNexus. We'll discuss "the pipeline problem," common obstacles, and proven strategies to succeed with our panelists: Emily Jiang, Mala Gupta, and Ixchel Ruiz. We've all heard buzz around the "pipeline" and how this affects diversity in our workplaces.

• What are your experiences?
• What worked for you?
• Are you thinking about a career move but not acting on it?
• Are you afraid to talk about work life balance?
• Are you in the right workplace, utilizing your full potential?
• What's holding you back?

In the multi-part breakfast, we'll..

• Break down some data about YOU--the women in the room
• Challenge each other to actively take part in the conversation
• Hear from our panelists and others who have conquered that fear, that challenge
• Start the change today.
