Dear:
I’m writing to ask for approval to attend APIdays Melbourne conference on 3-4 September, 2018. This is the third annual APIdays conference in Australia and is a part of the Global APIdays event series, which hosts events in cities, such as Paris, San Francisco and Zurich. APIdays is the largest Australian conference dedicated to the architecture of the connected world, with discussions covering the bigger picture, including business, technical and entrepreneurial.
The agenda is divided into three streams, each dealing with different aspects of the API economy:
Some of the practical aspects I will gain from attending APIdays include:
APIdays is just as much about building a community, meeting new people and having great conversations with others on the same journey as us and I’m looking forward to being part of it!

Kind regards,
A Digital Nervous System is a phrase that’s used to describe a vision for how the IT infrastructure of an enterprise could be analogous to the autonomic nervous system of a biological organism. To leverage the rise of smart devices and big data, you need a purpose-built strategy to drive the value that matters most to your unique enterprise. You also need to keep on top of the ultra-fast pace in which technology is evolving.
In this keynote speech, Futurist Shara Evans will describe how technologies such as augmented and virtual reality, smart cities (and the Internet of Things), driverless cars, drones, artificial intelligence (including speech recognition, image recognition, facial recognition, emotion detection and more!) – not to mention robots – will rely on APIs.
Security, privacy and ethics also needs to be an integral part of the products and services that we build, and it will often be integrated into products via APIs.
There’s also the convergence of technology and medical research – and we may soon meld ourselves in some way, shape or form with machines. APIs will play a big part of this too.
And – we can’t ignore the impact of automation on today’s workforce.
So many people talk about doom and gloom, but in reality there will be many new jobs arising from the technologies we’re rolling out today, and a lot of Shara’s work over the past year has been defining some of these new job roles.
This speech will take you for a ride into the future, so strap in!
Amazon Web Services (AWS) launched over 1400 new cloud features and services just in 2017 alone. Come and learn how brand new to market services are ideated, teams formed, services built, new features released, all while service teams are globally scaled. This is an innovation story of team organisation, people & culture, with a mix of architecture and mechanisms at scale.
This is a story reflecting on how our 7 year old scaled startup consistently grew 60% year on year and maintained a Net Promoter Score of 85+ while we simultaneously managed to constantly evolve our ways of working to stay ahead of our competition.
Come along and find out how we cultivated a high-performing culture of rapid continuous improvement, and embracing learnings through failure, while expanding our systems with an API first mindset.
The story covers our journey to autonomous, customer-focused, cross functional teams; sharing the highs and the lows, some funny tales and perspective on how we see our future.
As Agile practices have revolutionized software engineering in general, they have also changed the way integration is implemented in the enterprise. The best integration platforms have evolved to support a new class of users: agile integrators. Fast moving, highly productive teams feature some developers that have an integration responsibility, likely amongst other responsibilities. Some integration technology products have evolved to serve this user class, focusing on 3 pillars of capability.
Attend this keynote to learn about the Agile Integration methodology and how it improves productivity for modern application development.
AI is no longer on the horizon, with the eager adoption of Deep Learning it is already here. But what is it and how is it being used? In this presentation, we will explore the different problems that Deep Learning is already being applied to. Delve into a case study to illustrate the process whereby an organisation without a team of Machine Learning engineers can harness the capability of this technology to automate human perception tasks. Finally, we finish by touching on the current capabilities and limitations of Deep Learning, highlighting the types of issue organisations face when attempting to get a project underway.
Organisations can’t choose between innovation and regulatory compliance. Understanding the relationship between regulation and innovation will help leaders and service providers navigate the challenges and deliver positive advancements in highly regulated environments.
Have you ever tried to use a new API or developer tool that was recommended to you, only to rage-quit your browser after 30 minutes of circling back and forward between the documentation and the developer dashboard? If so, this talk will provide some cathartic relief for all of you.
In this talk, Cristiano Betta shows us the seven deadly sins of developer onboarding. Taking us step by step through each one, showcasing how even big companies like Twilio and Stripe occasionally get it wrong. Along the way he highlights the common misconceptions and anti-patterns most developers and user experience designers fall for. By the end, you will have had some laughs, some cries, and hopefully learned that user-centered design can be applied to every user, even developers.
100,000 years ago humans began communicating with spoken language, and since then it's been our primary form of communication, the Human API.
However, it's only been recently that technology has reached a point where it can communicate on the same level as a human; understanding our words, interpreting our meaning and intent, and having the ability to respond in kind. We can finally communicate with technology in the same way we do with other humans, using our primary API: Conversation.
However there are many challenges when crafting experiences for conversations with humans, some are with the technology but most are due to the subtleties in how humans communicate.
Hear from the CTO of Australia’s largest gaming and entertainment group about their successful 5 year digital journey, blending technology and business innovation with IT organizational change, to deliver a recipe for long term agility. Learn how The Star executed an API First strategy to ‘change the game’ in both their Brick and Mortar and Online environments, creating a partner ecosystem to differentiate the business whilst putting customer experience and loyalty at the centre of their digital transformation.
By 2020, 80% of the new business ecosystems will require support for event processing, as per Gartner. This talk will cover the evolution to the Event Driven Paradigm, from a Service Oriented Architecture with real world examples, using an Advanced Event Broker
Have you ever wondered where the quietest spot in the office is right now? Do you wonder if the people you work with generally feel hot in the afternoon? Do you ever stress about if your colleague is too busy to interrupt?
We’ll talk about how (and why) we built a system to help us answer these sort of questions for modern workplaces.
We work for an architecture practice (building stuff), so we want to be able to understand space. Most buildings are designed with almost no data, we see this as pretty embarrassing for the industry, and a massive opportunity to improve. We’re trying to create an instrument which allows us, and other researchers, to understand how people really occupy space.
This work is part of a body of research from BVN in creating workplaces that are just right for their inhabitants.
Agile software engineering relies on having a seamless and secure orchestration of the cloud underlay in order to deliver with speed, security and at scale. To fully reap the advantages of multicloud, you need the agility to run any workload on any cloud and manage your multi-vendor resources as a single, cohesive infrastructure. Designing cloud native applications following an agile microservices approach requires careful planning in order to ensure smooth streamline deployment, operations and management of the modern cloud infrastructure. A presentation and demo will be given to show a novel approach to applying policy for K8 clusters, providing visualization and analytics of workflows to deliver application security and microsegmentation across any cloud or bare metal services.
Data breaches are the new normal. We’ve created ecosystems with so many moving parts and so many complex units, it’s little wonder that we so frequently see them go wrong. A combination of more systems, more people, more devices and more ways than ever of producing and publishing data stacks the odds in favour of attackers breaching more systems than ever. Increasingly, all that communication is happening over APIs and they’re posing an all new vector for us to get security wrong.
In this talk, you’ll get a look inside the world of data breaches based on my experiences dealing with billions of breached records. You’ll see what’s motivating hackers, how they’re gaining access to data and how organisations are dealing with the aftermath of attacks. You’ll see many industry precedents of how the communication between clients and services has been compromised resulting in the sorts of incidents you’re seeing on the news every day. Most importantly, this talk will help you contextualise these incidents and understand both what these attacks actually look like and how to defend against them.
In response to the release of the Farrell report in early 2018 the Federal Government announced the creation of an Open API regime for Australia and that this regime will be implemented by the four major Banks by July 1st 2019. This talk will focus on the process to create the technical standards to support this regime. The choices that have been taken, how decisions are being made and how things are progressing.
Microservices represent the next frontier in application development - allowing businesses to rapidly deliver new initiatives. Key to this is the provisioning of a pre-packaged suite of services that allow for the implementation of APIs that support a framework for the management of large-scale microservices architectures. In this session we discuss how API management and Microservices interoperate and look at a number of real-world implementation scenarios.
We are in the midst of a major shift in the way that we interact with digital services as technology has progressed to the point where Voice is now a usable and convenient interface. Powered by Artificial Intelligence, the new generation of Voice First interfaces are rapidly being adopted by consumers and are beginning to challenge long-standing assumptions about digital marketing and the delivery of customer-facing products and services. API Developers have a key role to play in this journey as an enabler of core functionality that can lead to vast improvements in digital customer experience. Join Deloitte Digital’s Voice and Conversational UI Lead to hear about the trends, issues, and emerging best practices for this important new channel.
What are the pros and cons of a small appetite for investment and change (only follow the regulations, respond to the regulator), a medium appetite (choose one or two lines of banking business for discretionary API strategies) or a large appetite (adopt an API First approach across your entire enterprise in pursuit of radically better business outcomes)?
Microservices and containers have transformed application design and deployment patterns. Modern cloud native architectures - which underpin many of the world's groundbreaking tech companies such as Uber, Netflix and Airbnb - afford unparalleled levels of agility and scale but are not without trade-offs. In applications comprising hundreds of services (and thousands of service instances), concerns such as security, operability and observability pose significant challenges. Supporting compensating capabilities such as circuit breakers, retry policies and service discovery in each microservice adds undesirable code bloat and impacts our ability to choose the best language for the problem at hand should the required libraries not be available.
In this session, we will take an in-depth look at the service mesh pattern; the benefits that a decentralized microservice management approach brings; the best practices that have evolved; and most importantly what you need to know to effectively leverage a service mesh in your architecture:
Additionally, we will take a hands-on look at what is involved to build and manage a microservice architecture leveraging Kubernetes and Istio, a leading open source service mesh. By the end of the session, you will not only understand the concepts underpinning the service mesh pattern but also have the knowledge to put them into practice.
Everybody seems to see intellectual property in owning their own IoT platform. In reality even companies that are building their own products don't need to lay down heavy investment in IoT platform when there are so many to choose from. You wouldn't build your own payroll system why would you build your own IoT platform. IoT platforms are not one size fits all, there is a platform to watch your requirements and a nice set of open APIs to make your life easy. I will talk about dome of the major platforms and use my own as one specific type of platform.
Xinja's Co-founder and Chief Strategy & Innovation Officer Van Le gives Xinja's perspective on the customer implications of the open banking revolution coming to Australia and the challenges and opportunities it presents.
Microservices and APIs have become mainstream now. We're able to respond to changing requirements and ship code to production more quickly than ever. Or, we are for our first API. And even our second and third. But 5 years down the track, what happens when we end up with tens or hundreds of APIs that are now part of our core product - how do we know that we're safe to deploy to production without running hours of integration test suites? Yes, APIs have solved some problems for us, but they've caused some new ones. Find out how Pact contract tests can keep your services free from the burden of integration testing, and allow you to ship your code with speed and confidence.
Open Banking and Open digital digital platforms are the two biggest drivers of API adoption across industries. As organisations strive to enable and capitalise digital service provision, APIs have emerged as the mechanisms that can efficiently operationalise this capability. The question is, what technologies and approaches are currently being used to secure these APIs and ensure the integrity of the data they share across businesses and customers? This presentation will provide some insights to help answer this question. In moderate technical detail, the talk will contextualise how Machine Learning is providing businesses the confidence to manage API risk.
Often described as the next generation of text messaging, RCS (Rich Communication Services), is a universal messaging protocol that is both increasing and improving the ways that businesses and consumers communicate. RCS allows businesses to send richer and interactive messages without the need to redirect to a separate page. For example, airlines may send a boarding pass, flight updates and terminal maps via RCS. Scheduling of appointments also becomes a far richer experience allowing customers to select times, doctors, see their image, maps and more through a single message.
With RCS set to launch later this year, join us for an interactive workshop and have a play with this new messaging protocol and gain exclusive access to MessageMedia’s RCS API and see first-hand the capabilities it has to offer.
If you’re knee-deep in designing a robust microservices environment for your apps, you’re probably already dealing with traffic management issues: How to get traffic into my cluster? How to secure and optimise traffic between services? How do I authenticate API traffic in my Ingress Controller? Whether you’re dealing with managing north/south traffic or securing east/west traffic, NGINX Plus can help you manage microservices application traffic at the edge with ingress and between services with routers and sidecars, all with built it tools like active health checks, circuit breaker protection, JWT auth, and much more. This lunch & learn will be an introduction to using NGINX Plus for core microservice traffic management with examples about real-world deployments on Kubernets, OpenShift, and Istio.

REST is a powerful tool and describes the success of the Web admirably. Applying it to your API may or may not be a good idea, depending on what your goals are -- and in many cases, it probably doesn't justify staying up all night to figure out the correct resource names and hypertext states.
Rather than focus on RESTful purity for its own sake, this talk makes the case that it's better to look at what benefits you're getting out of using HTTP, and how to maximise them for the least amount of pain.
Unordered, unbounded and massive datasets are increasingly common in day-to-day business. Using this to your advantage is incredibly difficult with current system designs. We are stuck in a model where we can only take advantage of this *after* it has happened. Many times, this is too late to be useful in the enterprise.
KSQL is a streaming SQL engine for Apache Kafka. KSQL lowers the entry bar to the world of stream processing, providing a simple and completely interactive SQL interface for processing data in Kafka. KSQL (like Kafka) is open-source, distributed, scalable, and reliable.
A real time Kafka platform moves your data up the stack, closer to the heart of your business, allowing you to build scalable, mission-critical services by quickly deploying SQL-like queries in a severless pattern.
This talk will highlight key use cases for real time data, and stream processing with KSQL: Real time analytics, security and anomaly detection, real time ETL / data integration, Internet of Things, application development, and deploying Machine Learning models with KSQ.
Real time data and stream processing means that Kafka is just as important to the disrupted as it is to the disruptors.
Life comes at you fast, and exposing your internal API's is probably the quickest way to find out they aren't as good as you thought.
Domains' story is similar to many other api initiatives; there was a business need and we had to meet it (fast)…
But with that speed to market came the realisation we had a lot of work to do, and we've learned some valuable lessons along the way. Now we're on a mission to create an open real estate data ecosystem, and our API platform is the driving force behind that.
Lloyd will cover topics such as, an overview of Domains' microservice and API architecture, ditching a vendor to bring our Developer Platform in-house and the API culture and developer evangelism.
Webhooks are a powerful way for API consumers to receive low latency, reliable and programmatic event notifications from the platform to which they are integrating with. Building an application on the GitHub API? Receive a Webhook when a pull request is closed. Sending a message via the Facebook Messenger API? Receive a Webhook when the user replies to that message.
I would like to introduce you to the world of Webhooks. We will look at Webhooks from both the customer and provider perspective. Discover why authenticating Webhook requests are critical for Webhook consumers, learn how Webhook providers can implement these authentication mechanisms in their Webhook offerings and also look at best practice patterns to adopt when consuming Webhooks to ensure an efficient and reliable integration.

Like any other large organisation, the Victorian Government has many teams across lots of projects generating massive amounts of data. In this talk, Jordan discusses the benefits of making this data usable across Government, its partners and the community. He will also outline the Victorian Government approach to using Open API Standards for enablement.
Forget ninja developers and rockstar developers. What I’m more interested in is the superhero developer: these are the developers that do their best to help others, that try to give back to their community, and generally make the world a better place.
So how can we all strive to be superhero developers? This talk will look at the lessons we can learn from Marvel superheroes on being better developers.
Adopting new technology can be challenging. Between the learning curve and the tricky non-functional dependencies, there is also a type of inertia that can establish, making it hard to bring new ideas forward and carve out time and gather support for their execution.
This talk will be one part leadership, two parts tech, one part live demo with a healthy serve of personal learnings thrown in the mix.
After this talk, regardless of your role, you should be equipped with the tools you need to transform your team into one where experimentation and learning are normal.
Focus on both the 'why' and 'how' of adopting and scaling Lean Innovation at large enterprises; drawing on real-world (global) experiences and insights shared by our clients.
This session will discuss the benefits of event-driven application design in a cloud-connected world, and how to leverage reactive programming on platforms such as Kafka, Amazon Kinesis, and Azure Event Grid to build extensible and resilient distributed architectures that scale. Demos will provide a conceptual overview of event streaming concepts.
Description coming soon
APIs are the expression of your business capabilities and services. Even if they are not publicly accessible, it is critical that you approach API development with diligence and planning around organizational goals, culture and alignment with your business strategy. This talk distils experience from API-first transformations within a range of different organizations and describes methods for developing an API strategy, planning your API roadmap, governance, API architecture and the interrelations between technology and culture.
FHIR is a new open source standard and community that describes how healthcare applications and processes can be integrated using web technology. As the conduit for the web stack into healthcare, FHIR is the harbinger for disruption to the healthcare industry. Grahame will describe the standard, and it's history, and how it has the potential to bring about patient and process centered change in the healthcare industryThat change is not yet here but the conditions for disruption are starting to form.
The presentation will start with the explanation of the current state of the mobile app development, especially in the financial sector. The complexity that we currently see and the desire to make it simple for the end consumer. Will present the real case study that shows how the blockchain technology and entrepreneurial view on the issue can provide a great solution. Will discuss the next generation of the apps that will replace the current outdated mobile app technology to make consumers and business owners life easier.
By diffusing control over an unknown set of participants, blockchains provide a ‘neutral territory’ in which to record data and execute operations - allowing untrusted third parties to deal with each other and agree to updates to global state, confident in a predictable result. By design, blockchain systems operate to a set of consensus rules that are public and known by all participants so, much like APIs, they have well-defined and rarely-changing interfaces. The combination of these attributes position blockchains as an ideal source of truth around which to build APIs in several fields. This talk will cover the how, why (and why not!) of blockchain-integrated APIs, and discuss some the work Data61 has been doing in this space.
