 Welcome to the cloud native microservices track today you will and tomorrow you will see something about how to make cloud native microservices and what's interesting about and we want to share you some insights what you're facing in the next two days. So quick introduction we are the track co-chairs so we've been putting together the track finding some awesome talks there's you know for almost like a hundred submissions for this track and we had to whittle it down to you know 15 talks so hopefully you'll be enjoying those my name is Alex lay I'm from pivotal I work on Cloud Foundry and pivotal Cloud Foundry and my name is Christian Brinker I work at Evola and also a senior software developer working on and with Cloud Foundry so what should you expect to learn from this track? Most legacy code is some monolithic application and which has to be transformed in some way to work with Cloud Foundry because you want to have it more in a microservices way. What you will hear today and tomorrow is how to achieve this by some key technologies in the transformation which patents you can use to achieve that and like Spring Boot, Node.js or Stealtale4.net and how that can be used to transform your applications but also this introduces some complexity to your system because many different applications in some microservice system are interacting with each other it's highly distributed and you have to observe that state to observe to debug it to debug this interaction and the talks will show you how you can achieve this life in production. Great and so why is this important to the industry as a whole? You know so we see companies being pushed by their customers to move faster to deliver more value and they want to do this quickly. Enterprises have startups hot on their tails trying to disrupt them and you know enterprise IT has been plagued by these long running software projects. They're over budget, they don't deliver the value they expected and they take years and so we see now as a time for these companies to really transform how they develop their software and also kind of by doing this we see microservices as one part of this solution and so this will allow companies to change how they do, how they build their software, how they scale their organization, scale their development teams and ultimately deliver more value to their customers. And now we want to highlight some sessions in this track we think which show how this track is showing you the interesting parts. All other tracks are also interesting but there are the key ones we think about. The first one is from Tony Avin here from IBM. He will show in his talk how they stood in front of their BlueMix UI which was a monolithic Java application and they made several microservices out of it with Node.js base which sounds very interesting to me. The next talk I want to point out is later this evening from Danny Jones who want to show how you can use service-oriented design to start with a monolithic application, your development cycle and then shrink it down to microservices. Often if you talk about microservices people think about I must make directly from the start my microservices but starting with a monolith can achieve here a time, a safe time and engineering effort. Also just on this one I don't know who was here last year for the keynotes in Frankfurt but Dan Jones gave an excellent keynote there so I'm quite looking forward to this talk as well. So coming up, closing the day out we're going to be learning more about how to build resilient microservices using .NET Core and Steeltoe. Steeltoe is an awesome new framework for building microservices using .NET kind of inspired by the spring boot way of developing microservices. That's going to be with Zach Brown and Matthew Horan from Pivotal. And then tomorrow we've got Colleen Bryant from Google and she's going to be talking about live debugging with Cloud Foundry and Stackdriver. And so this is really interesting because it's how you do this in production and yeah it's really like doing it live and it's going to be a really cool talk so definitely recommend coming to that tomorrow. And so you can share your pictures and quotes from this track. Hashtag CF Summit. You can come up and talk to me in Christian. We're going to be around today, tomorrow. So yeah, hope you enjoy the track. We're just going to do a quick hand over now. So back in five.
