[Book tickets]( 🚀 Dive into the QCon San Francisco tracks Tracks for QCon San Francisco will feature [12 technical tracks and 60+ technical talks]( spaced over 3 days. Take a look at what you will be learning about this year at QCon San Francisco. Modern ML: GenAI, Trust, & Path2Prod Modern machine learning (ML) is a rapidly evolving field. We'll explore the latest trends in ML, focusing on three key areas: generative AI (GenAI), trust, and path to production. You'll learn how these areas are shaping the future of ML, and how they can be used to build more powerful and reliable ML systems. Architecting for the Cloud Architecting for the cloud is a complex and challenging task, but it can also be very rewarding. This track will explore the key principles of cloud architecture, such as scalability, elasticity, and security. Join us to learn how to design and build cloud-based systems that are reliable, efficient, and cost-effective. Designing for Resilience This track will explore the principles of designing systems that are resilient to disruptions. Speakers will share their insights on how to design systems that can withstand unexpected events, such as natural disasters, cyberattacks, or hardware failures. - Hosted by Javier Fernandez-Ivern, Staff Software Engineer @Netflix. Architectures You've Always Wondered About This track will explore the principles of designing systems that are resilient to disruptions. Speakers will share their insights on how to design systems that can withstand unexpected events, such as natural disasters, cyberattacks, or hardware failures. Platform Engineering Done Well If done well, platform engineering can help organizations to deliver software faster, more reliably, and more securely. We'll discuss the best practices for building and maintaining a successful platform to create one that is scalable, adaptable, and secure. - Hosted by Daniel Bryant, Independent Technical Consultant & InfoQ News Manager. Modern Data Engineering & Architectures Innovations happening in the data engineering space, including data streaming (stream processing, stream warehouse, stream graph), data API's (gRPC, GraphQL, REST), data lineage, automated data pipelines, and cloud data platforms and containerization technologies. - Hosted by Sid Anand, Chief Architect and Head of Engineering @Datazoom. Emerging Trends in the Frontend The frontend is constantly evolving, and there are a number of emerging trends that are shaping the future of frontend development. Speakers will discuss how these trends are being used to create more engaging and interactive web experiences. Lessons in Building Organization Resilience Organizations have learned to build resilience to disruptions and many have insight on how to withstand unexpected events. We'll cover topics such as the principles of resilience engineering, how to design for different types of disruptions, and how to recover from disruptions quickly and efficiently. Deep Tech: Pushing the Boundaries of Tech Deep tech is used to describe technologies that are based on advanced scientific principles and have the potential to revolutionize industries or create new ones. This track will explore the latest trends in deep tech, including artificial intelligence, machine learning, quantum computing, and more. Speakers will discuss the challenges and opportunities of these technologies, and how they are being used to solve real-world problems. JVM Trends: Driving Developer Productivity & Performance The JVM is a powerful platform that can be used to develop high-performance applications. This track will explore the latest trends in JVM development, with a focus on how to improve developer productivity and performance. Languages of Infra: Beyond YAML Managing/provisioning computer data centers through machine-readable definition files, rather than physical hardware configuration is just the start. Exploring: Cue, unification, OPA, Operator Pattern for Nonclustered Resources, Scalable Configuration Management. - Hosted by Justin Cormack, CTO @Docker. Staff+ Engineering Skills Staff+ engineers play a critical role in leading and mentoring other engineers, as well as designing and implementing large-scale systems. Explore the skills and knowledge that are essential for success as a Staff+ engineer, including technical expertise, leadership skills, and communication skills. We will be announcing the remaining 2023 track hosts in the next few weeks. Limited early bird discounts are available for QCon San Francisco. Book before July 25 to secure the early bird price for your team [Secure my team's place]( 🎙️ InfoQ Podcast: The Evolution of Evolutionary Architecture with Rebecca Parsons In Evolutionary Architectures, the book she co-authored, [Dr. Rebecca Parsons]( described the principles and practices that allow architecture to evolve. [In this episode of the podcast](, we talk about those principles, how they’ve changed between the first and second editions of the book, and what changes we might see in the next few years. Key takeaways include: - Evolutionary architecture is a guided approach that takes into account that a system will change, but we cannot predict when or how it will change. - A system is evolvable if you can easily understand it and if you can safely change it. However, being safe to change does not necessarily mean it will be easy to change. - The single most important feature of a fitness function is that two people will never disagree on whether or not it passes. - Microservices are not required–a monolith can be evolvable, but it must be well-structured around clearly defined bounded contexts. - Conway’s Law helps us understand how to align people to the right objectives and also shows the importance of good communication and shared understanding between teams.
