Oscar van der Leij present at an online session at Rabobank's Engineer's Week, an annual event featuring 80 talks in 3 days with over 7,500 attendees. The session will explore how Azure Container Apps can streamline microservices deployment and management, covering key technologies including DAPR, KEDA, and microservices architecture best practices.

Event Overview

Presentation Focus

The session will explore how Azure Container Apps can streamline microservices deployment and management, providing a comprehensive overview of the platform and its ecosystem. Key technologies covered will include:

Azure Container Apps provides simplified container deployment without the complexity of managing Kubernetes directly, offering a managed environment optimized for microservices.

DAPR (Distributed Application Runtime) enables building resilient, portable microservices with built-in patterns for service-to-service invocation, state management, pub/sub messaging, and more.

KEDA (Kubernetes Event-Driven Autoscaling) allows applications to scale based on event metrics rather than just CPU and memory, enabling cost-effective and responsive microservices architectures.

Microservices Architecture best practices and patterns will be discussed, showing how Azure Container Apps supports modern architectural approaches.

Engineer's Week Context

Engineer's Week will bring together engineers, IT leads, product owners, and scrum masters to "share knowledge, learn from each other and build the engineering culture." This massive event will feature 80 talks across 3 days with over 7,500 participants, demonstrating Rabobank's commitment to technical excellence and knowledge sharing.
