AppDev Field Day 1

May 29–May 30, 2024

#ADFD1

Who: AppDev

What: Field Day

When: Past

Location: Silicon Valley

AppDev Field Day was the first-ever Tech Field Day event focused on application development and modernization! This new topic builds on over a decade of events and brings an exciting new range of delegates and presenting companies. Stay tuned for AppDev Field Day 2, which will coincide with KubeCon/Cloud Native Con, November 2024 in Salt Lake City!

Application Development and Modernization is a crucial practice for organizations aiming to stay competitive and agile in the rapidly evolving digital landscape. The strategic shift towards modernization involves transforming legacy applications to embrace cloud-native architectures, microservices, and containerization. This transition brings about significant impacts on DevOps and platform engineering, fostering collaboration, automation, and continuous integration.

By leveraging cloud-native technologies, organizations enhance scalability, flexibility, and resource efficiency. Microservices architecture allows for modular development, enabling quicker updates and easier maintenance. Containerization streamlines deployment across different environments, enhancing portability.
