Innovating in a Hybrid Business World

Brian Gracely, Director of Project Strategy, Red Hat

It's been nearly a decade since software began eating the world and developers became the new kingmakers. But app makers are still frustrated that they can't build fast enough, deploy fast enough, and not worry about other layers of the stack. In this keynote, we'll talk about the reasons why companies are faced with hybrid opportunities and challenges at the business level, and how this impacts app makers. We'll also highlight how Red Hat is bringing together technology, innovation and culture to help remove the friction for app makers in ways that will help them success with existing and future applications.

Cloud-Native Development with Red Hat Middleware

Mike Piech, Vice President and General Manager, Middleware

Modern business requires the ability to roll out functionality to customers and employees faster than ever before, yet still requires extreme reliability in service delivery. While new technologies offer unprecedented opportunities to boost productivity it is rarely possible to make wholesale platform changes and constancy remains critical.

In this talk we will provide an overview of key architecture strategies that can boost developer productivity, improve robustness and enable long term evolution of IT environments. Topics covered will include the impact of containerization, APIs, next generation integration, process automation and development processes. The talk will also cover a number of examples that show how such application environment flexibility can have a major impact on business outcomes.
