Micro-frontends offer a new approach to front-end development, addressing these challenges by breaking down monolithic front-ends applications into smaller, independent, and reusable components, making them easier to deploy and scale. This talk will explore micro-frontends and how to gradually incorporate the architecture into existing codebases using Cloudflare Workers. It can be time-consuming to completely migrate a legacy application using the micro-frontends approach, so we'll explore ways to effectively and efficiently adopt and implement micro-frontends.

Can data privacy and security be as simple as programmatically accepting a payment through Stripe? Creating an API-based solution for data privacy brings unique challenges. For example, how can you limit access to sensitive data based on role and context, so a customer support agent only has access to data about the customers in their queue (not the full users table)? More broadly, how can you provide a simple API interface to limit a user or service to just the sensitive data they need? How can you create an API and authentication system that eases integration but maintains the proper level of security required to meet compliance regulations? And, how can you use partial data like the last four digits of a social security number in your workflows without decrypting the entire value and exposing your application infrastructure to sensitive data? In this talk, I'll share lessons learned from designing and building an API for data privacy. And, I'll share how our API designs have evolved based on customer feedback and usage and how we've balanced developer ease of use with security.

And that reason is there is no place like production. Not local dev or staging or other environment. This became clear when I deployed a tiny config change that passed all checks, reviews, and pre-production environments that triggered a SEV-1. Examining each step of the journey from PR to production I uncovered the snafu that had occurred (unsurprisingly it relates to overwriting key blocks on nested YAML files). I'll share how difficult it was to reconstruct the chain of events in the system compared to the ideal case of a highly observable system and how to share your own incident learnings since we all test in prod!

Get your tickets for Infobip Shift 2023 at https://shift.infobip.com/ https://twitter.com/InfobipShift More and more people are talking about WebAssembly; it has even been implemented into tools like Docker. The prospect of compiling almost any language into highly portable, fast, and secure binary, removing the need for virtual machines or runtimes, is very appealing. Combine this with the ability to use libraries from different languages feels like a revolution. There are, of course, drawbacks and limitations, the Holy Grail has not quite been discovered, but we are getting close. In this talk, you will learn the concepts and limitations of WebAssembly and the WebAssembly System Interface (WASI). Through practical examples, you will see how to compile source code written in languages like Go, JavaScript, and Python and how you can run the resultant binary with the Wasmtime runtime.

In this talk, we'll explore how writing documentation with empathy and clarity can benefit end users and lead to better outcomes for everyone involved. We'll also discuss what I call empath-driven-documentation. It aims to understand users motivations, and pain points. By doing so, we can write documentation that is clear, concise, helpful, and that addresses the real-world problems that our users face. We'll explore some common pitfalls, such as jargon, ambiguity, and complexity, that can make documentation difficult to understand and use. And explore some practical strategies for solving them.

We hate trying to figure out how to set up our machine to be able to actually contribute to a project. "Which dependencies do I need to install? Is the framework version I have locally, compatible with the one that the project requires? Can my machine handle running the entire project?" At Stripe, Uber and many other companies, the answer to all these questions is: "Who cares? Use our Standardized Development Environments." More and more Big Tech companies are developing internal tools that increase developer velocity, especially onboarding, to make their developers as efficient as possible. During this talk, you will discover how SDEs are transforming not only the onboarding process, but the entire development pipeline.
