Development, specifically cloud native development, has rapidly changed and evolved and continues to do so.  Requirements on developer capabilities and knowledge has dramatically shifted over the last 5 years.

Team sizes are shrinking but responsibilities are growing with DevOps and accelerated SDLC. A developer must become fluent in software architecture, testing, deployment, telemetry, and even security. It is less about multi-layer and more about multi-discipline.

In this talk, Pete Chestna, (LinkedIn profile) CISO of North America for Checkmarx and a foresightful leader in the development world, will share updates on developer roles and challenges he saw trending 5 years ago.

Pete & David Rubinstein (LinkedIn profile) SD Times Editor-in-Chief will explore how the opportunities and accountability afforded to developers needs better support from employers and the vendor community and discuss practical advice to rise to that challenge.

Among the insights and trends Pete will cover are:

• The change in responsibility and ownership that has occurred in application development, focusing on cloud, open-source, security & technology.
• The gap that exists in the support system that is impacting your velocity
• What developers and development leaders should do to better enable teams to succeed among these new and shifting responsibilities
