Feb 15-17, 2023: Oakland, CA

Uniting the global developer community, DeveloperWeek 2023 is the world’s largest developer & engineering expo held at Oakland Convention Center, California.

With more and more companies embarking on their cloud journey, microservice adoption has become an integral part of the business processes and data processing pipelines. In this context, it is critical that the right patterns and approaches are used when teams move into this model. At the API and Microservices session in the DeveloperWeek, our CTO Viren Baraiya talked about “Building & Scaling distributed stateful applications”, which covered some of the best practices in this journey and how a well-formed orchestrator can empower teams to build their critical applications with high levels of scale and resiliency.
