ApacheCon NA 2015

A new category of developer is emerging in the datacenter. It used to be that individual servers were the building block for applications, but today’s datacenter developers have thousands of servers at their disposal. In this talk, Tobias Knaup will explain how all applications are becoming distributed applications and how that’s creating a new breed of developer that programs against the datacenter like it was their laptop. Knaup will provide an outlook for the emerging “datacenter developer” category - and describe how advancements in abstractions of datacenter resources will forever change the balance of power between developers and operations. Knaup will share specific examples of what it means to “program against the datacenter”, will explain these trends in the context of hot new frameworks (Kubernetes, Rocket, Mesos, etc.)
