Why is application integration so hard - Steef Jan Wiggers

Starting the first session of Day 2 at INTEGRATE, Steef Jan Wiggers explores the intricate world of integration in the session titled "Why is integration so hard". He offers insight into the challenges of connecting diverse systems and technologies, moving from the era dominated by SAP and mainframes to our imminent cloud-forward future. Highlighting pressing topics like the challenges of building in the cloud, the transformative potential of Dapr, and the broad scope of OpenTelemetry (OTel), Steef offers detailed insights.

Adopting open-source Industrial IoT software

The industrial automation landscape is evolving rapidly, driven by a fundamental shift in how software solutions are developed and deployed. In the past, many factories had in-house IT expertise to build and maintain their basic software stacks, the present reality is quite different. Small-scale factories often lack the IT know-how to manage their increasingly complex digital infrastructure, and they often rely on contractors to set up and maintain their systems.

What is an Internal Developer Platform

Software production has become exponentially more complex over the last few years as containerization and microservice architectures have exploded. These design decisions are rooted in aspirations of scalability and speed, but left unchecked, have devolved into data model mayhem, development silos, and environment inconsistencies.

Containers are a lightweight, portable, and consistent way to package applications and their dependencies. Containers provide an isolated environment, ensuring an application runs reliably across different environments. Enterprises and tech-savvy individuals are using container technologies because of their benefits. However, container orchestration tools have become necessary to manage clusters with the rise in container usage.

Replay messages in Azure Service Bus dead-letter queue

When working and dealing with asynchronous messaging patterns – in this case, using Azure Service Bus – depending on the requirements, you will find many scenarios when you need to reprocess messages. Sometimes, a message failed because a system was offline for a certain period, there was a bug with the service, and we needed to resend specific messages and many other reasons.
