Open Development When You're Not In Charge
The Apache Software Foundation has a 20 year history of building resilient and sustainable communities of software developers through the Apache Way. While some companies are adopting Inner sourcing, other companies still have a taboo surrounding open source culture. Many of us work at these open source agnostic companies and don’t have manager in our title. Are those of us in those companies doomed to a life of Dilbert? You don’t have to be! This talk is all about how to bring a little Apache culture to your Apache oblivious team. This talk will cover how a little Apache Way goes a long way solving common team problems with knowledge sharing, technical/personal disputes, mentorship, and shipping software. So even though you’re the only one on your team that “gets” Apache, everyone can share in the rewards of being a part of an effective team.
Configuring Apache Camel for the Cloud
Cloud … check. Container … check. Orchestration … check. Now that you’ve got the basics it’s time to starting thinking about how all occupants of your new cloud infrastructure are going to communicate. And no mater what cloud, container or orchestration tool you choose, Apache Camel has what you need to get your system configured and connected. This talk will cover Camel components for cloud friendly configuration, communication, packaging, and deployment. The approaches presented will take a “use what is already there” philosophy. So whatever you’re working with from Do It Yourself Virtual Machines with containers like Apache Karaf or a fully managed Kubernetes clusters with fat jars, integrating vertically or horizontally, Apache Camel has the pieces to make it all work. This talk will cover how to do it as as well as advantages and drawbacks of each approach.
