November 2022 marked the release of .NET 7 and C# 11 and we are looking forward to the release of .NET 8 and C# 12 this upcoming November.

In this session, I will talk about what is new in the latest version of .NET and what the future will bring for the .NET platform in general. Expect examples for a number of new .NET 7 and C# 11 features, but also an early look at some upcoming .NET 8 and C# 12 features.

Automate your work using GitHub actions. In this session we’ll take a look at how GitHub Actions take over your repetitive or administrative tasks. How does it work, what makes it tick? Being it automatic deployment, updating your Azure resources with Managed Identity, or creating your release notes for you. No prior experience required!

In modern application development, it’s inevitable that multiple clients will have difficulties connecting and sharing data. What happens when something goes wrong on the backend service, but a response is expected? Is it good practice to wait for an internal server error, cause by an exception burried deep in your business logic? How can a consumer know why a request was not supported when the response only contains "400 Bad Request"?

In this session, I will show you how I handle validation and error handing using the Mediator Pattern.

GraphQL is an emerging API standard that has quite some goodies to offer. Join this session if you are interested in how we introduced GraphQL on a large-scale IoT platform.

This session mainly focuses on how to scale GraphQL within an organization. I will share the issues that we've encountered along the way and how we were able to solve them thanks to the fantastic HotChocolate .NET library and Azure API Management, combined with Container Apps. As always: expect many good practices and lot's of exciting demos!

Are you thinking of running your applications in containers but are overwhelmed by the options available in Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS)? Well, we've got you covered!

Join us in this overview session where we'll explore Microsoft's "serverless" container offering, Azure Container Apps, and how it can replace AKS in an instant. We'll focus on creating and deploying a microservices application with Container Apps, making it an easy and fun experience for developers.

We'll also show you how to take advantage of built-in tools like KEDA to help with scaling and Dapr to simplify building a distributed application.
