• Harness the power of events to architect an enterprise that is responsive and valuable for continuous innovation

Microservice architecture has gained popularity due to its promise of agility, scalability, and granularity. Many organizations adopt this style when modernizing their application architectures. However, blindly adopting microservices can lead to chaos, overly complex architecture, and management overhead. As a result, some organizations are consolidating services into larger modules.

This talk goes beyond the microservices hype and promotes a "right-sizing" approach. We explore the pitfalls of both microservices and monoliths and introduce key factors to consider when making architectural decisions. By evaluating domain boundaries, complexity, team size, business capabilities, and communication overhead, you'll learn how to strike a balance between the benefits of microservices and the practicalities of managing them. Through rightsizing services, this talk explores harnessing the advantages of microservices architecture while mitigating the challenges associated with excessive service fragmentation.

In this keynote, we will explore the shift towards platformless technology ecosystems and their importance in driving digital adaptability and innovation. We will discuss strategies for leveraging decentralized architectures and integrating diverse technologies, with a focus on building resilient, flexible, and future-ready IT infrastructures. We will also highlight WSO2's roadmap, emphasizing our commitment to supporting this transformative journey with our evolving product suite.

Digital experiences are playing an increasingly important role in company strategy. Companies like Netflix, Amazon, Airbnb, Uber, and Peloton have leveraged digital experiences and AI in their solutions. LLMs have taken AI to the next level by enabling AI to work with less data and model training, reducing barriers. As a result, there are still many transformative use cases waiting to be discovered.

This session will explore common AI use cases within enterprises, including AI-based interactive support, automated customer service, predictive analytics, personalized marketing, intelligent process automation, and advanced security measures. It will also address common challenges such as privacy, result verification, AI skills gaps, data quality and availability, integration with existing systems, costs and ROI concerns, ethical considerations, privacy concerns, bias concerns, scalability, and maintenance. Potential solutions for these challenges will be discussed.

Digital transformation is the essential rewiring of how an organization operates to enhance customer experience and reduce costs. It necessitates a clear strategy, a talented team, a scalable operating model, distributed technology, data access, and effective change management. However, developing and managing the platforms for digital transformation comes with challenges like complexity, cost, and skill gap.

This talk will cover the challenges faced with on-premises products and how leveraging Choreo helps to streamline the development process, enabling a focus on building valuable apps. It will demonstrate how Choreo aligns with the theme of platformless by hiding platform complexity and empowering developers to code, build, and deploy easily.
