Please RSVP 'yes' only if you plan to attend.
About this event
We're thrilled to announce the upcoming event for Stockholm Cloud Native Community Group on Monday, November 27th. Once again, we'll gather at Generator. Join us for an evening of informative discussions and networking opportunities. Doors open at 5:15 PM, and the first presentation starts at 5:30 PM.
In our first talk, Mattias Söderberg will discuss innovation through collaboration.
For our second talk, Marc Klefter will explore building distributed applications with Dapr.
For our third talk, Mikkel Mørk Hegnhøj will dive into Server-side WebAssembly with Spin.
Thanks to our event sponsor VMware, we'll have snacks, drinks, and a venue ready for the event! As an in-person event, we won't be broadcasting it live online. We're excited to see you there!
We also want to send a friendly reminder to only RSVP 'yes' if you plan to attend. Here's why it matters:
Limited Space: The event has a limited capacity, and updating your RSVP can open up spots for others who are eager to join.
Less Food Waste: Updating your RSVP helps us reduce food waste by ensuring we prepare just enough to satisfy your appetite.
Respect for Fellow Attendees, Organizers, Speakers, and Sponsors: By updating your RSVP promptly, you're showing consideration for others. They will have a more enjoyable time knowing that we've planned for an accurate number of guests.
Enhanced Experience: A well-organized event is a memorable event. Your updated RSVP will help us tailor the experience to your needs, making it more enjoyable for everyone.
Innovation Through Collaboration, Mattias Söderberg
This session will delve into VMware's steadfast commitment to fostering innovation through collaboration, with a special focus on their pivotal involvement in Kubernetes and other open-source endeavors. Mattias will briefly present a handful of projects that either originate from VMware or where VMware is one of the major contributors.
But have no fear, there will be a hands-on demo as well. We will get a quick tour of the freely available Tanzu Kubernetes Grid to gain an understanding of some of the benefits this platform provides.

Building distributed applications with Dapr, Marc Klefter
Dapr (the Distributed Application Runtime) provides cloud native application developers with common capabilities such as reliable service invocation, asynchronous messaging, secrets management, configuration and more, accessed via standardized APIs that decouple application code from the underlying infrastructure. This allows for implementing distributed systems in a language and platform independent manner, according to best practices and patterns.
In this session, Marc Klefter will guide you through the building blocks of Dapr and the benefits it offers, examples of migrating existing application functionality to use Dapr, how it compares to related technologies such as service meshes, and the organisational implications for application and platform teams.

Server-side WebAssembly with Spin, Mikkel Mørk Hegnhøj
Microservices are serving us well in many ways. But in some ways, we can do better. Having learned a bit from Functions as a Service, containers, and now WebAssembly, we can rethink some of our assumptions and perhaps devise a better way for creating microservices. In this session, we introduce server-side WebAssembly and shows how it addresses common developer problems. From maintainability of code to security to operational simplicity, WebAssembly is the technology that lets us build better microservices faster.
