The Rise of the Microservice Frameworks – Auckland – 14 June 2018

What

Hosted by The Auckland JVM Meetup

Further to our Microservice series, comes the discussion around the rise of microservice focused frameworks that are designed to achieve specific end goals. We will start the talk with by sharing experiences of the positives and negatives of deploying vs writing such services, the increasing ownership that the developers need to take as they take further control down the deployment stack, and this includes techniques for optimising deployments.

We will cover the complexity of deployment and orchestration of monolith vs microservice vs serverless.

We will complete the talk by covering a small number of Microservice frameworks and their pros and cons.

If you have a particular framework that has arisen to address this need you would like to speak about, please contact us and we will try and fit you in!

Speakers: Robin Bygrave, Richard Vowles

Better Rules Hack – Wellington – 19 + 20 May 2018

What

A hackathon with the aim of exploring the ideas and practice of making legislation into machine consumable ‘digital rules’ that can be reused and integrated across domains for the benefit of businesses, individuals and communities. The aim is to understand the feasibility of providing government hosted machine consumable legislation as part of Government as a Platform. We want to understand how well aligned existing standards, languages, and toolsets are for across domain integration, and what the options are for how machine consumable legislation can be presented as authoritative open data. We also want to understand the value of machine consumable legislation to community and industry.

Hackathon participants will be required to build a working demonstrator that benefits their sector or community using digital rules from more than one source, for example, legislation from multiple agencies, or trade agreements, or any other form of rules from more than one source. Teams will need to show the value of digital rules, how they made the digital rules consumable by everyone, and share their lessons learnt.

As background, see the recent work from the Service Innovation Lab on Better Rules for Government.

Please make sure to read the hackthon’s Code of Conduct.
