• What we'll do
We're happy to welcome two presenters (Liz Rice and Petra Bierleutgeb) that are in town for the microxchg conference. The talks will cover two important topics of Cloud Native infrastructures; managing secrets and inter-services communication.

Petra will first take a look at service communication via gRPC and Liz will walk us through how to secure secrets when using containers.

We look forward to seeing everyone for an evening of cloud-native insight.

Snacks & drinks will be provided.

TALK DETAILS:

"Efficient service communication with gRPC", Petra Bierleutgeb

Abstract: gRPC is a modern, high-performance, open-source RPC framework focused on the requirements of connecting polyglot services in microservice-oriented systems. In this talk we will take a closer look at gRPC and its concepts and we will explore how its support of HTTP/2, protocol buffers, type-safety and other goodies make it an attractive alternative to traditional REST/JSON based service communication.

"'Your secret's safe with me' – on managing secrets in containers", Liz Rice
