I know, but this statement is based on a research and thorough analysis of the past 26 years of web development, the recurring patterns that affected the transition between web technologies and the current trends and direction things are going towards. All signs show that we’re at the beginning of a new generation of web frameworks.. and the first framework of this new generation is Qwik, which has reached v1.0 "Why should we care about it?" Qwik allows JavaScript developers to write any size app and have it load instantly, with no extra effort. It completely eliminates the need to manually optimize your app for performance, and that pays dividends especially as your app grows. Businesses gain better SEO ranking, conversions and User experience while developers can focus on building features instead of chasing after performance issues. Basically, Qwik introduces the same revolution that video streaming brought to the world. So if we don't want to become the next ""Blockbuster"" in the Netflix story, we need to understand the next evolution in web development and how to adapt to it. In this talk, we'll cover the past, present and future of web development, but more importantly, we'll get an awesome introduction to this new and innovative framework and the cool & new technology behind it.

Backend | Rust truly embodies the idea of a general purpose programming language. It spans the entire stack, from Linux drivers to web development. It isn't the perfect language for most domains, but it's a damn good language for most domains. This flexibility is what makes Rust so compelling: you need to invest time and effort to master it, but you're rewarded with a tool that can support you successfully in most of your endeavours. The return on investment is huge. Over the next decade, I expect Rust to become ubiquitous. Every developer will be working with it, either directly (by writing Rust code) or indirectly (by using libraries in other programming languages that wrap a Rust core). API development is the next ""big"" frontier for Rust: this talk will walk you through why that is the case and what you can expect to see in the coming years in this space.

DevOps & Cloud | For the past two years, reports on emerging technologies have shown a strong evolution toward composable architectures. A composable architecture consists of a set of reusable building blocks. These blocks can be custom-developed or built with the best in the market off-the-shelf SaaS blocks. A composable architecture pushes the boundaries of micro-services, allowing for greater agility, faster implementation, and improved user experience through strong modularity. During this talk, discover foundations and principles of composable architecture, and how to really benefit from its implementation.

Grigory Petrov

DevRel @Singula.Team

DevOps & Cloud | Twenty years ago our world was a simple place. We had Python, Ruby, PHP which were "scripting" or "interpreted" languages. Opposite to them, there were C++ and Java as "compiled" and "fast" ones, hundred times faster. Now, in 2023, C++ solves the "n-body problem" only marginally faster than JavaScript. But Python and Ruby are still a hundred times slower. This is not fair and there are lots of talks on how to make things faster using PyPy, Numba, CPython, etc. But my talk focuses on the "why" question. It's about compilers, bytecode, ceval.c, virtual machines, native extensions and all the reasons why we still hear "Python is slow" or "Ruby is slow" even if it's not true or doesn't matter.

Kaya Weers

Software Engineer @Ordina

Backend | Everybody knows the term design patterns. Some know the patterns and correct implementation by heart. Others vaguely recognize the pattern names but don’t recall the details. This talk is intended for the latter group. I’ll dive into a couple of design patterns using real-life examples. What would a design pattern look like in day-to-day life? We’ll follow Bobby and Billie and discover how a design pattern would behave in a non-digital environment: a supermarket! With the help of drawings and code snippets, this talk will give you a solid understanding of design patterns, so you won't have to look them up ever again!

Java Champions | Staff Developer Advocate @Snyk

DevOps & Cloud | Building cloud-native applications is undoubtedly awesome. However, it comes with undeniable new risks. Next to your own code, you are relying on so many other things. Blindly depending on open-source libraries and Docker images can form a massive risk for your application. The wrong package can introduce severe vulnerabilities into your application, exposing your application and your user's data. Join this hands-on cloud-native live-hacking session where we’ll show common threats, vulnerabilities, and misconfiguration including the recently disclosed problems. Most importantly, you’ll learn how to protect your application with actionable remediation and best practices.

Alina Dima

Senior Developer Advocate @ AWS IoT

DevOps & Cloud | Managing large and heterogenous IoT fleets is complex and involves executing sets of operations (workflows), such as configuration management or over-the-air firmware updates. Integrity is key in rolling out configuration, bug fixes, and firmware. If integrity is not ensured, hasty rollouts of fixes to critical bugs and security vulnerabilities or new features introduce high risk to potentially leave devices in inconsistent states or bricked. Visibility, control and early evidence of success on a subset of devices is crucial before rolling out at full scale. Workflows are often distributed (executed on-devices, as well as other systems), could be long running and need to survive device reboots, offline behavior and be rolled back in case of failure. Embedded devices are inherently constrained, and are not well suited for driving complex and distributed workflows. In this session we will look at modelling workflows using Finite State Machines to break down complexity, and introduce an externalized, cloud managed approach to design, build, operate and remotely orchestrate resilient workflows, outside of the scope of specific request/response cycles and independent of device uptime. The proposed design is accompanied by a concrete example implementation, which is evaluated against expectations such as system integrity and observability.

Phil Nash

Developer Advocate @Sonar

Frontend | We have been able to animate and transition on the web for a while, but the experience has been limited to within single pages. Successfully animating between large state changes has traditionally been hard and transitioning across full page loads is left up to the browser. The View Transitions API aims to change that by making it easy to transition anything from elements to entire pages across navigations with just CSS and the occasional sprinkle of JavaScript. We’ll take a look at how this works, see some examples, and consider the future of single and multi page applications. Get ready to transition from boring page loads and jumpy state changes to a smooth ride into the future.

Eric Fennis

Senior Frontend Developer @Nedap Healthcare

Frontend | Over the past few years, I have observed the construction of poorly tree-shakable applications. To achieve this effectively, you need to consider several important factors. Writing tree-shakable libraries or applications requires a modular way of thinking, which may not always align with your preferred software writing approach. During the creation of the Lucide Icons library, I gained valuable insights into how tree-shaking works. I will share the do's and don'ts that I have learned.
