From Monolith to Microservices – Vered Flis

In times of high pace development and continues delivery, the traditional way of building enterprise applications, using a monolithic approach, has become problematic. As applications get larger and more complex, the development cycles becomes longer and results in less-reliable applications.
Microservices architecture has been making waves among development organizations since the term was first coined in 2011.
Today, microservices is on the verge of going mainstream with 36% of enterprises surveyed are currently using microservices, with another 26% in the research phase.
But what exactly is microservices architecture, and is it right for your organization’s culture, skills, and needs?

Docker: Why Me? – Adam Russak

dockers have been around for some time now, what is it? Why should I know it? How will it help my business or software?
In my session I will try to disperse some of the smoke and make you understand what “docker”/ “container”/ “image” are and when can it be a good thing to use.

Detecting Security Vulnerabilities in Node.js – Yaki Klein

The highly dynamic and asynchronous capabilities offered by Node.js give an easy and powerful manner to produce real-world applications.
However, those powerful features make it challenging to detect vulnerabilities by Application Security Testing (AST) tools in a precise and comprehensive way.
In this lecture, I’ll review the basics of AST and explain about the latest technologies that can help us keep our Node.js applications secure.
