As the use of cloud expands from initial use cases to broader consumption, new interdisciplinary interlock across software development, cloud architecture, and data architecture are required. In this keynote, we’ll touch on key pain points of this inter-disciplinary era and look at the view of holistic cloud architecture and development.

This keynote is sponsored by IBM.
