Event Wrap and Key Takeaway

It was amazing to join such an event face to face after so long, there was a lot of excitement in participants as well as organizers.

Stage was set so well and was a full house. #XConfIndia was trending on social media.

The ONDC, the next disruption in digital commerce

I loved the keynotes by Supriyo Ghosh, who talked about Open Network for Digital Commerce (ONDC), it’s architecture, and how decentralized architecture will come into play. I have always been talking in the metaverse adoption challenges, that there will be tussle between centralized and de-centralized architecture, as community based eco-system would like it in de-centralized fashion, but central authority, governments always wanted to control centrally. It changed my thinking after looking at the ONDC architecture, and how government is adopting it safely.

Very well covered by Bharani Subramaniam and Vanya Seth. Key trends they spoke are scripting the kernel (ePFB, taking ownership of rising cloud costs. Preserving data privacy while linking databases (record linkage), Authorisation as service still a need (eg SpiceDB) that has been inspired from Google’s Zanzibar, pretotyping over prototype and cleaning the software supply chain systems, building protocols that can build platforms, sustainability and more.

Tech Tracks

Overall focus was on data and AI. there were 3 tracks, one was focused data and DataMesh based practices, and one was focused on digital transformation where we talked about development practices such as security at scale, clean code, service meshing etc. and we had a dedicated track for emerging tech. At emerging tech track we talked about how AI can help in XR/Metaverse content generation, and Drug discovery, and how to measure carbon intensity of the software we are producing.

Hands-On Workshop

Two workshops was organized on very interesting topics “Patterns Of Distributed Systems” and “Divide and conquer with Micro-frontends”. There was overwhelming response from developer community.

XR Experience Booth

We had a XR experience booth where we have showcased number of industory usecases in XR devices Lenovo ThinkReality A3, HoloLens, Oculus, Cardbaord, and mobile based XR.

Event was full of life and fun.

Happy learning!
