Accelerating Innovation through App-Centric Engineering

In 2024, modern app development and delivery are driven by three key factors: developer experience and productivity, security resilience, and business empowerment. With digital revenues projected to rise 50% in five years, success hinges on app performance, security, and user experience. This requires seamless integration of infrastructure, cloud operations, app development, and data services.

The future of DevOps is app-centric, emphasizing user experience, value, and resilience by design. Platform teams are crucial, driving efforts to enable effective app development and management. This transformation integrates security, finance, and operations into the development process, aiming for a seamless, automated software delivery environment.

This presentation will explore success in a decade defined by value and powered by AI, introducing IDC’s App-Centric Engineering Framework. This approach links infrastructure and application layers, focusing on five core principles: Trusted, Sovereign, Observable, AI-infused, and Sustainable. Achieving “Value-driven DevOps and App Engineering” requires breaking down silos between DevOps, CloudOps, and DataOps, and creating smart integrations to meet business needs for speed, security, and cost efficiency.

How to Drive Developer Productivity with AI

While developer productivity has long been a key focus area, technology leaders are discovering AI's transformative potential to achieve optimal productivity by reducing cognitive load and removing developer toil. From intelligent code completion to automated testing and bug detection, AI can dramatically enhance developer productivity by eliminating low scope tasks. With that said, we want to explore practical strategies for integrating AI-powered tools into your development workflow.

This session will explore the benefits of leveraging AI for routine task automation, most notably, how this allows developers to focus on higher priority tasks. Panelists will also address concerns about AI replacing developers, showcasing how AI augments human capabilities rather than supplanting them. Join us to discover how AI can revolutionize your development process and boost team productivity.
