"Patterns of Resilience - How to Build Robust, Scalable & Responsive Systems" by Uwe Friedrichsen

Abstract
Production is where the money is made and where customers are satisfied - but only as long as our application is up, running and responsive. If our application is down or latent, it's worthless - and even worse, we loose money and reputation.

In short: It is not sufficient (anymore) for an application to be "feature complete", the customers of today expect constant availability and quick response times.

This is a real challenge with today's complex, distributed and highly interconnected application landscapes which can no longer be handled on infrastructure level but needs to be addressed on application level - and concepts like cloud computing or microservices make it even more challenging.

That's what resilience is about: how to design applications that they are highly available and responsive - even in the face of unexpected failure and load situations.

In this session you will learn a (small) resilience pattern language organized around some of the core principles of resilience, isolation, loose coupling and latency control - of course garnished with lots of useful tips and tricks.

"The Principles Of Microservices" by Sam Newman

Abstract
There has been lots of buzz around Microservices over the last year, but there has often been a lack of clarity as to what Microservices are, or how to implement them well. I've been working to distill down the principles of Microservices to help ensure that we don't just end up repeating the mistakes we made during the last 20 years of service oriented architecture. I'll talk about what they are, the benefits and downsides, and the core principles to stick to do to them well.

Bio
I'm a developer at ThoughtWorks. I love learning new things and helping people build better systems.

I've been working at ThoughtWorks for over a decade. I split my time between consulting for clients, speaking at conferences and helping build our own internal systems.

I tend to focus on work in the cloud and continuous delivery space, more recently focusing on the use of microservice architectures. My book, Building Microservices, was published in February 2015.
