Speaking at Bitbash 2025
TLDR: Code demos on GitHub
On Jan 25th, I was at Bitbash in the Netherlands to give my session ‘Failure is not an option: Durable Execution + Dapr = 🚀’.
Bitbash is quite a new in-person conference in the Netherlands that focuses on Microsoft technology, such as .NET & Azure. The special thing about this conference is that it is completely free for attendees! This was the second edition of this conference and the theme this year was “Haunted”. The organizers hired “The Ghostbusters” who were walking around in full gear, hunting for bugs that haunt our software 👻.
The two-day conference started with a workshop day, where attendees could follow a half-day workshop. It was great to see Edwin van Wijk and Sander Molenkamp, both Dapr Meteors, giving another workshop on Dapr! The second day was the main conference day, with 2 tracks.
My session was the first one of the day and started at 9:15 in the morning 🫠. I was happy to see so many enthusiastic people in the room who sacrificed their Saturday morning to learn about durable execution with Dapr Workflow!
For my session, I used DemoTime, a VSCode extension created by Elio Struyf, to navigate through my slides (Markdown) and code, and also execute the dapr run commands for my demos. It worked out really well, give DemoTime a try!
I got a very nice “haunted” speaker gift, a Slimer Funko Pop! and a metal speaker certificate.
This is the repo with the demos. It comes with a devcontainer configuration so you can run it yourself easily, either on GitHub Codespaces or locally. And you can use DemoTime to run through the slides and demos.
Thanks to the Bitbash organizers for having me, and thanks to the attendees for joining my session!
