In der Produktionstechnik werden sekündlich enorme Datenmengen erzeugt und verarbeitet. Diese Daten beinhalten oft wertvolle Hinweise zu den aktuellen Zuständen der Maschinen, Werkzeuge und dem zu produzierenden Produkt und könnten durch gezielte Auswertung das Wertschöpfungspotenzial der Maschine und dazugehöriger Dienstleistungen steigern. In der Praxis werden diese Daten jedoch bisher weder umfänglich ausgewertet noch für nachgelagerte Anwendungen, ob unternehmensintern oder -extern, digital bereitgestellt. Gleichzeitig besitzen die Hersteller der Maschinen und ihrer Komponenten zwar das notwendige Knowhow für die Konzeption datengetriebener Anwendungen, jedoch fehlt ihnen der Zugang zu den Daten ihrer Produkte im laufenden Betrieb bei den Kunden. Gaia-X bietet einen Rahmen, in dem datengetriebene Anwendungen unter Beachtung des Datenschutzes und der Datenhoheit realisiert werden können. Entsprechende Konnektoren, wie der Eclipse Dataspace Connector (EDC), erlauben die Teilnahme an den Datenräumen der domänen- und unternehmensübergreifenden Dateninfrastruktur. Mit der Industrie 4.0 Verwaltungsschale (engl. AAS), als der Standard für den digitalen Zwilling, existiert außerdem eine einheitliche Schnittstelle entlang des gesamten Produktlebenszyklus, über welche Informationen abgerufen und weitergeleitet werden können. Zusammen ermöglichen AAS und EDC eine Pipeline vom Shopfloor bis in die Cloud, um universell einsetzbare Anwendungen zur Wertschöpfungssteigerung in der Produktionstechnik zu realisieren.

We are exploring an alternative approach to launching software development projects, moving away from overengineering, and refocusing on the essential business aspects. Our primary goal is to demonstrate that embracing Event Sourcing, a technique where we capture and store all changes to an application's state as a sequence of immutable events, offers substantial benefits without the need for complexity.
Event Sourcing allows for complete traceability and reconstruction of an application's state, providing valuable insights into historical data and enhancing audit capabilities. It promotes a clear separation of concerns by keeping the business logic separate from the storage mechanism, leading to more maintainable and scalable systems.
To aid in this endeavor, we will incorporate Type-Driven Design principles into C#, streamlining the process of writing code that is purposeful and intuitive. This approach places a strong emphasis on expressing the business intent, ensuring that it takes center stage in your codebase, resulting in code that is easier to understand and maintain.
Our ultimate aim is to present a minimalist architectural approach that effectively detaches our business logic from infrastructure concerns while preserving the integrity of our logic and allowing for seamless scalability in the future. This approach promises to simplify software development, making it more focused on delivering real business value.

Treiben dich Manager mit Gebravbel über die VUCA Welt in den Wahnsinn? Ist das Treffen von Entscheidungen in deiner Organisation zu einem langwierigen Prozess geworden? Wir möchten euch ein paar Werkzeuge vorstellen, die wir bei unserer täglichen Arbeit nutzen um Unsicherheiten zu begegnen und Themen zur Entscheidung zu bringen. Wir tauchen dazu ins iSAQB portfolio für Systems Architecture ein und kombinieren es mit Methoden des Complexity Managements und der Organisationsentwicklung um ein gesundes Level an Verlässlichkeit, Sicherheit und Planbarkeit zu erlangen.

The demand for software development has (finally) resulted in increased investments into developer tools. While more and more startups and enterprises have started building tools, distributing and selling them is still painful and difficult.
We share our story of how we started to serve developers by building a UML tool based on the open-source Eclipse IDE. From the enthusiasm of early product development to facing major legal, licensing, marketing and enterprise sales challenges.

This talk provides insights about…

• All the steps and building blocks you need to market and sell your product to a developer end user
• The pitfalls of integrating third-party solutions and payment
• The challenges of market entry and finding product-market fit
• Optimizing your online sales when marketing to developers
• User acquisition costs and conversion rates for our own developer tools

This talk may be interesting for everyone who wants to…

• Build, market and sell software to developers
• Understand the user journey and sales funnel for developer tools
• Gain insights into B2B2X ecommerce

Objective of the presentation: 
The demand for software development has (finally) resulted in increased investments into developer tools. While more and more startups and enterprises have started building tools, distributing and selling them is still painful and difficult. We share our story of how we started to serve developers by building a UML tool based on the open-source Eclipse IDE. From the enthusiasm of early product development to facing major legal, licensing, marketing and enterprise sales challenges.

You will learn…

• What stack you need to go from a technology to a fully marketable product
• What it takes to earn your first $ (or €) with a developer tool
• How to lower customer acquisition costs (CAC) for developer tools
• What challenges there are to overcome when developing for developers

Data Transfer Objects (DTOs) have long been the go-to solution for data transfer between components, but aren't you annoyed that you have to write two transformations for converting your domain objects to and from your DTO objects? Aren't you tired of essentially implementing the same logic twice? We show you how to save time and nerves by using bidirectional data transformations. Bidirectional data transformations implement the conversion logic just once, which makes data conversion less annoying, less tedious, and less error-prone. Additionally, describing explicitly how the data is connected fosters understanding of your domain objects and improves maintainability of you code base.
