Ewan Slater
I started out as a research scientist and then drifted into IT.
These days I’m an architect in Oracle’s EMEA Technology Cloud Team, have over twenty years experience in the technology industry and a lot less hair.
I joined Oracle when they acquired Thor Technology in 2005. I intended to stay for six months and I’m still here.
I’m currently focused on helping Oracle’s customers and partners adopt a cloud native approach to development.
Outside of work I’m an active member of the Norwich Ruby User Group (NRUG) and Digital East Anglia.
I contribute to a number of open source projects and I’m one of the organisers of the DevEast conference in the UK.
Workshop: Writing a Serverless Saga - in code
In this workshop, delegates will implement a saga pattern - a long running transaction across multiple serverless functions running on the Fn platform.
In the course of the workshop we’ll cover:
- Overview of Fn - an open source serverless platform
- function development
- function deployment
- composing functions together into apps
- orchestrating Fn functions with Flow
- using these to create our saga pattern
Requirements for the workshop
- Projector / mic / internet access
