YOW! 2015 Melbourne: A Conference Report
The YOW! 2015 Developer Conference in Melbourne took place a few weeks ago, and once again the organisers did a splendid job curating a selection of both international and local speakers (including Shine's very own Ben Teese). There were also delicious meals and glorious developer fuel (a.k.a coffee) to keep the energy going strong between the amazing talks. This year's conference felt like it featured a wider variety of topics compared to previous years; headlining were Mobile development, Lean and Agile, Performance Testing, Software Architecture and Design, Big Data, Cloud Platforms, and DevOps. There was one topic however that took the crown and was presented with an overwhelming sense of urgency and importance: Microservices. We had talks from big players such as Facebook, Uber, ThoughtWorks and Netflix, each giving an insight on how they are using microservices and how nearly everything they have done is a microservice (Over 1000 services!). It is safe to say that it was this year's favourite buzz word.
