Akriti Kapoor, Director, Research, Gartner

Although women make up nearly half of the global workforce, women are only 31% of IT employees. Unlike other professions where women have made significant strides to reach leadership positions, only 22% of IT leaders are women. This Roundtable discussion will explore the questions:
1) What holds women back from attaining leadership roles in IT?
2) What keys to success can we learn from women CIOs, software engineering leaders, and female senior business executives in technology companies?
3) What changes are being tried to better attract, retain, and promote women in IT?

Technical Insights: Right-Sizing (Micro)services

Gary Olliffe, Distinguished VP Analyst, Gartner

Microservices architecture is becoming commonplace, but many organizations struggle with finding the "right size" for services and microservices. The answer is not some arbitrary number of lines of code, nor is it "as small as possible." This session provides pragmatic guidance for determining when and why to split services apart and when to keep them together.

Technical Insights: You Can't Buy Cloud-Native Application Architecture. You Have to Build It

Richard Watson, VP Analyst, Gartner

You can buy cloud services, platforms and frameworks, but they don't replace the work of skilled architects and engineers. You need to build the things you need. This session maps your cloud adoption goals, through characteristics of the cloud model, to cloud-native architecture principles as expressed in Gartner's LIFESPAR acronym and design patterns for implementation.

Technical Insights: Use Microservices Orchestration Patterns and Frameworks to Build Anti-Fragile Applications

Matt Brasier, VP Analyst, Gartner

A microservices architecture requires multiple services to work together to deliver an outcome, yet coordinating microservices is often done as an afterthought. Choreography provides scaling and flexibility benefits, but makes it hard to ensure end-to-end outcomes. Microservices orchestration frameworks are an emerging approach for orchestrating processes. This session will explain the patterns of microservices orchestration and demonstrate how these emerging frameworks can help.
