The Future of Enterprise Application Development in the Cloud

Since the dawn of the cloud, developers have been inundated with a range of different recommended architectural approaches such as Web Services, REST or microservices, as well as just as many different frameworks or stacks, including AWS, Java EE, Spring Boot and now Eclipse MicroProfile. Throw in the explosion of programming languages, such as Golang and Swift and it’s no wonder a developer today could be forgiven for being confused about where is the right place to start. In this session we will look at how cloud and large scale distributed systems problems are influencing the research behind, and evolution of application development stacks and frameworks. We will describe some of the fundamental research challenges in areas including reactive programming, serverless, fault tolerance and multi-tenancy.
