[DevoxxGR2025] Orchestration vs. Choreography: Balancing Control and Flexibility in Microservices
At Devoxx Greece 2025, Laila Bougria, representing Particular Software, delivered an insightful presentation on the nuances of orchestration and choreography in microservice architectures. Leveraging her extensive banking industry experience, Laila provided a practical framework to navigate the trade-offs of these coordination strategies, using real-world scenarios to guide developers toward informed system design choices.
The Essence of Microservice Interactions
Laila opened with a relatable story about navigating the mortgage process, underscoring the complexity of interservice communication in microservices. She explained that while individual services are streamlined, the real challenge lies in orchestrating their interactions to deliver business value. Orchestration employs a centralized component to direct workflows, maintaining state and issuing commands, much like a conductor guiding a symphony. Choreography, by contrast, embraces an event-driven model where services operate autonomously, reacting to events with distributed state management. Through a loan broker example, Laila illustrated how orchestration simplifies processes like credit checks and offer ranking by centralizing control, yet risks creating dependencies that can halt workflows if services fail. Choreography, facilitated by an event bus, enhances autonomy but complicates tracking the overall process, potentially obscuring system behavior.
Navigating Coupling and Resilience
Delving into the mechanics, Laila highlighted the distinct coupling profiles of each approach. Orchestration often leads to efferent coupling, with the central component relying on multiple downstream services, necessitating resilience mechanisms like retries or circuit breakers to mitigate failures. For instance, if a credit scoring service is unavailable, the orchestrator must handle retries or fallback strategies. Choreography, however, increases afferent coupling through event subscriptions, which can introduce bidirectional dependencies when addressing business failures, such as reversing a loan if a property deal collapses. Laila stressed the importance of understanding coupling types—temporal, contract, and control—to make strategic decisions. Asynchronous communication in orchestration reduces temporal coupling, while choreography’s event-driven nature supports scalability but challenges visibility, as seen in her banking workflow example where emergent behavior obscured process clarity.
Addressing Business Failures and Workflow Evolution
Laila emphasized the critical role of managing business failures, or compensating flows, where actions must be undone due to unforeseen events, like a failed property transaction requiring the reversal of interest provisions or direct debits. Orchestration excels here, leveraging existing service connections to streamline reversals. In contrast, choreography demands additional event subscriptions, risking complex bidirectional coupling, as demonstrated when adding a background check to a loan process introduced order dependencies. Laila introduced the concept of “passive-aggressive publishers,” where services implicitly rely on others to act on events, akin to expecting a partner to address a chaotic kitchen without direct communication. She advocated for explicit command-driven interactions to clarify dependencies, ensuring system robustness. Additionally, Laila addressed workflow evolution, noting that orchestration simplifies modifications by centralizing changes, while choreography requires careful management to avoid disrupting event-driven flows.
A Strategic Decision Framework
Concluding her talk, Laila offered a decision-making framework anchored in five questions: the nature of communication (synchronous or asynchronous), the complexity of prerequisites, the extent of compensating flows, the likelihood of domain changes, and the need for centralized responsibility. Orchestration suits critical workflows with frequent changes or complex dependencies, such as banking processes requiring clear state visibility. Choreography is ideal for stable domains with minimal prerequisites, like retail order systems. By segmenting workflows into sub-processes, developers can apply the appropriate pattern strategically, blending both approaches for optimal outcomes. Laila’s banking-inspired insights provide a practical guide for architects to craft systems that balance control, flexibility, and maintainability.

[NDCOslo2024] Mirror, Mirror: LLMs and the Illusion of Humanity – Jodie Burchell
In the mesmerizing mirror maze of machine mimicry, where words weave worlds indistinguishable from wit, Jodie Burchell, JetBrains’ data science developer advocate, shatters the spell of sentience in large language models (LLMs). A PhD psychologist turned NLP pioneer, Jodie probes the psychological ploys that propel projections of personhood onto probabilistic parsers, dissecting claims from consciousness to cognition. Her inquiry, anchored in academia and augmented by anecdotes, advises acuity: LLMs as linguistic lenses, not living likenesses, harnessing their heft while heeding hallucinations.
Jodie greets with gratitude for her gritty slot, her hipster cred in pre-prompt NLP notwithstanding. LLMs’ 2022 blaze beguiles: why bestow brains on bytes when other oracles oblige? Her hypothesis: humanity’s hall of mirrors, where models mirror our mores, eliciting empathy from echoes.
Psychological Projections: Perceiving Personhood in Parsers
Humans, Jodie hazards, hallucinate humanity: anthropomorphism’s ancient artifice, from pets to puppets. LLMs lure with language’s liquidity—coherent confessions conjure companionship. She cites stochastic parrots: parleying patterns, not pondering profundities, yet plausibility persuades.
Extraordinary assertions abound: Blake Lemoine’s LaMDA “alive,” Google’s Gemini “godhead.” Jodie juxtaposes: sentience’s scaffold—selfhood, suffering—sans in silicon. Chalmers’ conundrum: consciousness connotes qualia, quanta qualms quell in qubits.
Levels of Luminescence: From Language to Luminary
DeepMind’s AGI arc: Level 1 chatbots converse convincingly; Level 2 reasons reactively; Level 3 innovates imaginatively. LLMs linger at 1-2, lacking Level 4’s abstraction or 5’s autonomy. Jodie jests: jackdaws in jester’s garb, juggling jargon sans judgment.
Illusions intensify: theory of mind’s mirage, where models “infer” intents from inferences. Yet, benchmarks belie: ARC’s abstraction stumps, BIG-bench’s breadth baffles—brilliance brittle beyond basics.
Perils of Projection: Phishing and Philosophical Pitfalls
Prompt injections prey: upstream overrides oust origins, birthing bogus bounties—”Amazon voucher via arcane URL.” Jodie demonstrates: innocuous inquiries infected, innocuousness inverted into inducements. Robustness rankles: rebuttals rebuffed, ruses reiterated.
Her remedy: recognize reflections—lossy compressions of lore, not luminous lives. Demystify to deploy: distill data, detect delusions, design defensively.
Dispelling the Delusion: Harnessing Heuristics Humanely
Jodie’s jeremiad: myths mislead, magnifying misuses—overreach in oracles, oversight in safeguards. Her horizon: LLMs as lucid lenses, amplifying analysis while acknowledging artifice.

[AWSReInventPartnerSessions2024] Advancing Cloud Security Proficiency through Unified CNAPP Frameworks: A Structured Maturity Pathway
Lecturer
Leor Hasson functions as Director of Cloud Security Advocacy at Tenable, where he directs initiatives promoting exposure management via integrated platforms that consolidate visibility and remediation across diverse environments.
Abstract
This rigorous academic treatment explores the conceptual evolution and operational implementation of cloud-native application protection platforms (CNAPP), positioning them as sophisticated syntheses transcending fragmented tools like CSPM, CWPP, CIEM, and DSPM. The analysis delineates emergent security challenges within cloud ecosystems—novel attack surfaces, expertise scarcity, tool proliferation, and intensified cross-functional collaboration—while highlighting concomitant opportunities derived from programmatic accessibility. A meticulously articulated ten-phase iterative progression guides practitioners from foundational inventory compilation to sophisticated automated remediation, emphasizing contextual risk prioritization and hybrid infrastructure correlation through Tenable One.
Contextual Challenges and Emergent Opportunities in Cloud Security Posture
The advent of cloud computing has introduced transformative paradigms accompanied by distinct protective imperatives. Compared to traditional on-premises infrastructures, cloud environments manifest expanded attack vectors, a relative paucity of seasoned practitioners given the technology’s recency, an overwhelming array of specialized instruments lacking cohesive strategy, and significantly amplified requirements for interdepartmental cooperation. These dynamics collectively complicate systematic defense.
Concurrently, cloud paradigms afford unprecedented advantages: configurations and telemetry become programmatically accessible in structured formats, enabling automation at scale. Moreover, broadened access democratizes responsibility, permitting operational teams to assume ownership of their security obligations—an approach that, while introducing management complexity, harbors substantial potential for distributed resilience.
CNAPP architectures address these dualities by furnishing unified observational planes encompassing workloads, underlying infrastructure, identity entitlements, network topologies, and sensitive data classifications. Tenable Cloud Security exemplifies this integration, ingesting telemetry from native AWS accounts, multi-cloud deployments, identity providers, continuous integration pipelines, and ancillary third-party systems to orchestrate comprehensive risk governance.
Iterative Ten-Phase Maturity Progression for CNAPP Implementation
Framed metaphorically as “ten steps” to underscore non-linearity and iterative refinement, this progression structures organizational advancement:
Initial phases establish asset inventory discovery, revealing the operational landscape and preempting blind spots that adversaries exploit. Subsequent risk exposure assessment introduces contextual evaluation—distinguishing, for instance, publicly exposed S3 buckets containing personally identifiable information from equivalently configured but isolated resources. Remediation orchestration follows, translating insights into executable corrections.
Advanced stages encompass identity least-privilege enforcement, identifying excessively permissive policies or dormant credentials; network segmentation visualization, graphing potential exposure pathways; sensitive data classification, cataloging regulated information; vulnerability prioritization, correlating exploitability with internet-facing status; infrastructure-as-code security scanning, examining Terraform modules both in isolation and upon instantiation where parameters may introduce vulnerabilities; malicious code detection, flagging external data blocks capable of unauthorized execution during planning phases; and automated response integration, progressing from manual ticketing to conditional webhooks executing predefined resolutions when confidence thresholds are satisfied.
module "high_risk_storage" {
source = "./modules/secure_s3"
bucket_acl = "public-read-write" # Instantiation parameter triggers CNAPP alert
encryption_enabled = false
}
Maturity escalation reflects organizational confidence: rudimentary manual interventions evolve into sophisticated automation conditioned upon verified criteria. Tenable One amplifies this trajectory by amalgamating cloud-derived intelligence with endpoint vulnerability management, constructing end-to-end attack path visualizations—from developer workstations harboring pilfered access keys to the sensitive datasets those credentials could compromise.
Strategic Ramifications and Organizational Implications of CNAPP Adoption
Contextual intelligence emerges as the paramount differentiator, enabling precise allocation of defensive resources to threats possessing material impact. Hybrid visibility across cloud and on-premises domains mitigates lateral movement risks, while automated remediation compresses mean-time-to-resolution.
Broader organizational consequences include accelerated security posture maturation, optimized resource utilization through noise reduction, and enhanced regulatory compliance via auditable contextual evidence. The framework’s iterative nature accommodates evolving threat landscapes, positioning CNAPP not merely as a toolset but as an adaptive governance philosophy.
