Session Abstracts

19:00 - Insights into the Machinery of a Continuous Delivery Pipeline - Automated Test Result Aggregation and Analysis for DevOps

Project Overview: We are developers in a dedicated release and test automation team that runs a continuous delivery pipeline for a leading eCommerce platform (currently running approximately 170,000 stores).

Due to the large number of pipeline machines (for the respective installation and patch types), the time required to evaluate test results (selenium) has increased significantly over the past year. As automation specialists, we have decided to introduce a centralized database for all test results that are generated by the hundreds in each pipeline run.

Our implementation relies on the REST-based ELK stack (Elasticsearch, Logstash, Kibana), which has become established during the performant and distributed monitoring of system logs.

We have extended the technological basis with the possibility to administer test reports with different administration and UI clients. In addition, the individual components were decoupled by various Docker containers with template-based configuration files (Jinja2) as well as provisioning tools (Ansible, Puppet).

We have consistently focused on test-driven development using CircleCI. The finished overall solution is integrated in the individual, corresponding Jenkins jobs using a dedicated Docker registry as needed. The logstash containers provide the individual test results with environmental data.

In our session, we present our motivation, possible solutions and the implemented solution components, especially in practical interaction within a Continuous Delivery Pipeline.

Let yourself be surprised by the variety of possible uses within a productive context!

20:30 - Applying (D)DDD and CQ(R)S to Cloud Architectures

Many software architectures may benefit from the introduction of (Distributed) Domain-Driven Design and Command Query (Responsibility) Separation. Regardless if you are maintaining large legacy software systems or whether you start a new microservices platform as greenfield approach one always has to think about the domain language and service design.

In this talk Benjamin will show you a given example of how to get started with introducing domain models, bounded contexts and implementing CQRS where it makes most sense while trying to avoid the technical debt trap e.g. misconceptions and fallacies.

The talk consists of several steps / iterations each with a small lecture a dedicated implementation goal that will be solved. At the end one will be able to apply many DDD principles and will have learned how to tailor systems according to their domain – effectively and efficiently while using modern technology standards.
