Speaker: Sean Feldman, Solutions Architect, Particular Software
You’ve decided to develop in Azure and now need to make a decision on the messaging technology. You have multiple options to choose from Storage Queues, Service Bus, Event Grid, Event Hubs, etc. Which technology should you use? How do you pick the right one if they all deal with messages? Is your head spinning yet? This session will help you answer these questions and show you when to use each technology, so you can pick the right one for the right problem at hand. - An intro to Azure Data Lake

Speaker: Clemens Vasters, Lead Architect in Microsoft Azure Messaging team
In this talk, Clemens Vasters discusses the role of events and messaging in “serverless” and how the combination enables “the extensible enterprise” – enabling businesses to rapidly build and run extensions to their core application portfolios with minimal complexity. - How far can Serverless actually go?
Speaker: Alex Mang, CEO, KeyTicket Solutions
Azure Functions is getting a lot of traction, which is completely understandable in the fast-paced world of applications developed under agile methodologies. Comparing the world of IT and software development today with the one 10 years ago, when we knew not only what operating system our application was going to run on but also the exact part number of the server that was running the workload, we can only conclude that PaaS infrastructures have gone a far way! - Azure – Plug & Play Architecture
Speaker: Steef-Jan Wiggers, Senior Consultant, CoditNL
Microsoft Azure Platform offers a wide range of services, predominantly PaaS services. And building a solution architecture you will use various of these pluggable services. In this session, a few real-world Azure solution architectures will be discussed with ‘plug & play’ view. Why, how the solution was designed that way, pitfalls, alternatives, constraints, and lessons learned.
Day-2
- Azure Stack: Lessons learned from use in the real world
Speaker: Rik Hepworth, Azure MVP and Evangelist, Black Marble
Rik will share his experiences and learnings and talk about where he believes Stack can be a good fit for your hybrid cloud project, and where not.

Speaker: Sean Feldman, Solutions Architect, Particular Software
