Harnessing .NET: Scalable and High-Performance Solutions

Assuming the audience has minimal or no experience in PHP, this talk will be meant to help the audience understand the ecosystem and why is has been growing recently. 

We'll talk about 
- PHP: The language itself (will go through a lot of code snippets focused on DX in writing php)
- Tooling (linting, testing, debugging)
- Package Management
- The Laravel Ecosystem
    1. The framework core and what it provides
    2. 3rd party packages and the ecosystem around it.
- Performance and Scaling 

This talk also be changed to only talk about laravel, for newcomers to the ecosystem. 


State of PHP, Laravel and the ecosystem

This session will be a win-win for everyone, regardless of what backgrounds people come from. 

In this session we'll go through a few APIs in Laravel (and OSS packages that Laravel uses), we'll look at the internals of how these APIs are designed. One of the things to talk about will be how Laravel provides unified APIs for file system, queues, caches, ORMs and testing. 

- How are these APIs designed
- Inspiration for design patterns and testable systems

People will learn about both Laravel and designing software, background in PHP is not needed


Taking inspiration from Laravel for writing good software

FrankenPHP a game-changer for PHP devs like us. It’s a next-gen PHP application server that blends the power of async execution with the simplicity we love about PHP.

Ever wondered why AI confidently gives the wrong answers? Join me to discover how embedding models—the backbone of modern AI systems—fundamentally misunderstand human language. I'll reveal shocking test results where models think "take medication" and "don't take medication" are nearly identical, confuse 5% with 95%, and can't tell the difference between "before" and "after" in critical instructions. These aren't minor glitches—they're design limitations causing real-world failures in healthcare, finance, and legal systems. Learn the patterns behind these hallucinations and practical techniques to make your AI systems more reliable. If you're building with embeddings, you can't afford to miss this

Hallucination by Design: How Embedding Models Misunderstand Language

In this session, we explore the capabilities of the Minimum Permissions Finder (github.com/Azure/mpf) utility. This open-source tool helps identify the least privilege permissions required for successful ARM, Bicep, or Terraform deployments, enabling secure and compliant infrastructure provisioning.

In this talk, we’ll cover:

* Why Least Privilege Matters: Understand the security and compliance implications of over-privileged service principals and how enforcing minimum permissions mitigates risks.
* MPF Overview: Get a high-level understanding of how the tool works, including the iterative permission discovery mechanism .
* Live Demo
* Integration and Best Practices: Learn how to embed MPF into your existing IaC deployment process

Whether you’re building secure deployment pipelines or tightening cloud governance, this talk will equip you with practical tools and insights to reduce your permission footprint without breaking your deployments.

No More Overprivileged SPs: Automating Azure IaC Permissions with MPF

We increasingly build distributed backends powering our applications – involving multiple services, APIs, databases, and real-time communication. Managing this complexity, especially during the local development loop, can significantly impact productivity and time-to-market. Join me as I dive into .NET Aspire, a powerful framework for cloud-ready stack designed to tackle these challenges head-on, through the lens of Visage - an open-source event management platform designed for OSS communities. In this talk, I’ll break down how .NET Aspire streamlines development with features like service discovery, dependency injection, and Blazor Hybrid integration, making it a go-to for core developers tackling scalable projects. Drawing from my FOSSAsia 2025 talk in Bangkok on Identity and Access Management (IAM), I’ll also show how we implemented secure authentication and access control in Visage, ensuring robust security without compromising performance. Expect practical insights, code snippets, and lessons learned from building Visage, equipping you to leverage .NET Aspire in your own web and app development workflows." Also, I will demonstrate how it embraces and works seamlessly with apps written in node.js, Python. Forget abstract concepts; we'll focus on how Aspire delivers tangible benefits for Core Developers: 1. Accelerated Inner Loop: See how Aspire's application host and orchestration simplify running and debugging multi-service backends (like Visage's web, AI, and comms components) locally, letting you iterate faster. 2. Integrated Observability: Explore the Aspire Dashboard – a powerful tool providing unified logs, distributed traces, and metrics across all your backend services, drastically simplifying debugging of distributed behaviors. 3. Simplified Service Interaction: Learn how Aspire streamlines service discovery, handles transient faults with built-in resilience patterns, and standardizes communication between your backend services (e.g., a web frontend reliably calling a backend API service). 4. Effortless Dependency Management: Understand how Aspire helps manage essential backing services like databases, caches, or messaging queues directly within your local development environment. You'll walk away with practical knowledge on how .NET Aspire can help you reduce boilerplate, gain better insights into your running system, and ultimately ship complex, distributed applications more efficiently.
