Bring your own cloud

In light of todays weakened trust in the "tech giants" and the focus on privacy and security, we will explore an alternative to the "spin it up in {Insert cloud provider here}" solution. In this talk, we will take a look at various open source tools and software that can be used to build a competitive hosting platform. Do we have to give up the advantages that AWS/Azure/Google Cloud provide? Are there specific benefits to using open source? Is this only relevant for large companies with their own DevOps teams? These are questions we will attempt to answer.

Has 20 years of experience lead to this?!

tl;dr; A talk/rant/beer in hand talk about my experience with frontend, from the 90s to today For over 24 years I have played, enjoyed and gotten grey hairs doing frontend. I share my experiences around this, all the good and bad stuff. This talk is also to summarize where we come from within frontend development, and where we are heading. So if you are into some frontend nostalgia, this talk is for you

Model Context Protocol (MCP)

Model Context Protocol (MCP) is an open standard that enables AI assistants to connect to external resources, thereby expanding their context and functionality. MCP gives developers great flexibility in how they can set up their assistants. The presentation addresses a specific chatbot problem that illustrates the limitations of traditional, isolated language models, and provides a practical solution using MCP.

If You're Delivering Software, You Need to Know What It's Made Of. SBOM (Software Bill of Materials) in Practice: Why and How

December 12, 2027 is too late. That's the day after the EU's Cyber Resilience Act (CRA) has come fully into effect. If you are a supplier of a “product with digital elements,” you must have complete oversight of and insight into all components and dependencies it contains. Otherwise, you are not qualified to deliver your product in the EU. But if, as a software developer, you can answer “yes” when asked: “Do you know what your code does? I mean, do you know everything the code you write does?” you are already well on your way. This presentation shows how to move from being a coder to becoming a code engineer, and provides insight into the practical use of the Software Bill of Materials (SBOM), the key tool for delivering with insight and quality.
