As we have moved to virtual vendor briefings, I have increasingly been excerpting short segments (with permission from vendors), as part of my Analyst Cam series.
I attended a few sessions at the Adobe Developers Live event and have excerpted about 20 minutes from two very interesting sessions, both hosted by Bertrand Delacretaz, and involving Principal scientists and senior software engineers at the company.
The first is from a q&a with Roy Fielding, co-author of the HTTP protocol and inventor of REST. He talks about the evolution of HTTP from early days ( the whole www was a grand total of 48 pages when he started!) to current work on QUIC & HTTP/3. I particularly liked the audience q&a where he was asked what makes him go "wow" as he sees the evolution. I wished he had more time for the question about how state and other actors are trying to limit access to so much of the content we take for granted on the Web. The full session is here.
The event was also aimed at what Adobe calls "experience builders" - their big differentiator. So, I enjoyed and have excerpted starting at 9.27 from a panel with Ian Boston, Tomek Rekawek, and Carlos Sanchez, on how they successfully migrated Adobe Experience Manager to the Cloud. While many vendors have moved single tenant, on-prem apps to the cloud in the last decade, it is always fascinating to hear about the innovations in each move. This panel discusses efficiencies like the Golden Repository and automation in the form of hibernation that they engineered into the solution. The full panel session is here.
You may enjoy other sessions from the event - the replays are here.
