Collab Summit 2016

Enterprises today face unique technical challenges with scale. The emergence of IoT, the transition to a mobile enabled customer base and mobile enabled worker, and the need to derive critical competitive signals from 'data lakes'. It turns out that a small group of companies tackled the same problems years ago, and co-evolved a set of common patterns for internet scale computing. These patterns are the only practical way to operate at internet scale, but also help tremendous value in dealing with the sprawling numbers of traditional applications, and the issues facing building complex interconnected apps that power the enterprise back office. In order for enterprise to make the transition, and to truly unlock the power of the startup community to drive these technologies, we as a community need to come together and create smart standards to support the transition to cloud native computing. We will talk through this transform from Google's perspective, and the role of Cloud Native Computing Foundation in helping the world benefit from internet scale computing approaches.
