<H3><STRONG>The Server, The Dev, and The Data Center: MLB Advanced Media's Transition to Cloud-Native Practices</STRONG></H3>
<H4><STRONG>About This Event</STRONG></H4>
<P>Immutable Infrastructure: On Misnomers, Zoology, and Pre-accidents</P>
<P><I>Anthony Mazzarella, Associate Director, Software Engineering</I></P>
<P>Youve written some code, run its tests, bundled an artifact, and shipped it. Sadly, as soon as it serves its first request, live traffic or configuration drift or a partial deployment failure reveals a production-impacting issue. Oops. This talk will discuss immutable infrastructure. Well touch on deployment patterns that encourage replacement over modification, while exploring the accuracy of terms, the pets vs. cattle concept, and safety properties inherent to its practice.</P>

<LI><I>About Anthony: Anthony has been dreaming about Infrastructure-as- Code for the last 10 years, and believes that one day we might pull it off. His primary interests are distributed systems, the New York Mets, academic computer science papers, and cooking. His first computer was an Intel 80286 with 1MB of RAM.</I></LI>

<P>Full Stack: NodeJS at MLBAM</P>
<P><I>Paolo Vaca, Director, Web Software Engineering</I></P>
<P>Transitioning from a monolithic legacy application has its challenges, on and off the field. At MLBAM we took that challenge head on and standardized a white label NodeJS/Express application which is currently used to power all of MLBAM's new sports and entertainment partners on Amazon Web Services. We will dive into the architecture, tooling, deployments and workflow, all of which have helped MLBAM improve turnaround time to meet tight deadlines while maintaining quality and consistency for all of our new digital products.</P>
