There are two industries in the world today: those that have been transformed by real-time connections and those that are about to be.
Every major technology shift for the last decade has been driven by persistent, consistent, real-time connections: drive-share has eclipsed taxis by instantly connecting riders and drivers; connected exercise machines have brought the community to home exercise; e-agriculture is boosting yields at rates unimaginable even ten years ago.
In this keynote we will examine how the always-on Internet is being replaced by the always-connected Internet; discover technologies that offered early promise and are now evolving into something new and different, with HTTP/2 ready to be the catalyst for the next growth spurt; and outline the new design patterns, combining globally-orchestrated real-time infrastructure with serverless and Edge computing, that will be fundamental to the emerging winners across industries.
