16 PaaS

17 PaaS

18 Decades of advances in software engineering and Best Practices Converging with PaaS

19 Every programming ecosystem has its own collection of best practices and antipatterns.

20 Antipattern tendency to fail Antipatterns Best Practices

21 Premature Optimization

22 Famous antipattern Old news: why here? Because: Overlooked: insidious

23 Scenario: 1. primary requirement: scale 2. architecture dictates use of message bus for communication of large and increasing numbers of simple json messages

24 Early step: Evaluate common messaging broker solutions: activemq rabbitmq tibco 0mq...

25 Result: +1 high performance messaging +1 increased understanding -1 2 person days

27 Enable with click of button: Databases (Relational/NoSQL) App containers Web servers Message brokers RabbitMQ

28 Invest architecture instrument / measure tools code practices test

29 Understand First then Optimize (Profile before Optimizing)

30 PaaS: Scale Early

32 Drive-by Process Change

33 AGILE!

34 Typical Process Change Process Research Approaches Evaluate/Select tools Build up infrastructure Install/configure software Document Scramble training

35 Process Change Costs rough road disgruntlement time sink team impedance mismatch

36 Mitigate with PaaS informed decisions bundled training comprehensive s/w choice integrated tool suites

37 But - who wants all data in cloud? Bugs Source Stories later

38 Antipattern: Silo Engineers

39 Why Silo? Specialized knowledge Legacy code Team structure and background Costly to share environment

40 Silo Costs Specialist overcommitted Attrition dangerous Less comfort with stack Less agile, flexible

41 PaaS Click a button for entire app Allows each team member full stack Encourage bug sharing Increased understanding

42 Antipattern: Enforce Language

43 Language Enforcement Likely choose wrong tool for job Less productive engineers Disgruntlement Less comfort with stack Less agile, flexible

44 PaaS Enables Polyglot Multiple languages Multiple frameworks Skeleton apps (think github)

45 Antipattern: Environment Mismatch

46 Antipattern: Environment Mismatch dev QA test demo sales customer!

47 Stackato Workflow After Before

48 Antipattern: Long Resource Delays

49 Costs Time Momentum Interruption Morale

50 PaaS Spin up entire stack in minutes No third party intervention No tickets

51 Antipattern: Logging Malpractices Distributed Performance Haphazard or no logging scheme Time drift

52 Hence: Log APIs and LaaS log4j etc Loggly Loggify Splunk Graylog2

53 LaaS -> PaaS PaaS integrates extensive logging Provides 3rd party tools out of the box App store provides starting point logging best practices

54 Use Integrated Logging to Scale

56 Antipattern: Minimal Product Understanding

57 But - who wants all data in cloud? Bugs Source Stories later

58 Private PaaS

59 Private PaaS Integrated services behind Firewall Data Security Privacy Control Data Ownership - for all of time

61 PRIVATE PAAS FOR THE ENTERPRISE MULTI-CHOICE END-TO-END PORTABLE

62 Deploy to any cloud

63 The Stackato Private PaaS Model

64 PolyGlot: Languages Java Ruby Python Perl JavaScript Clojure Scala Erlang Groovy Other JVM.NET / mono

65 PolyGlot: Frameworks Spring Ruby on Rails Django Sinatra Node + ecosystem Play!

66 Multi-Choice, End-to-End, Portable
