Demo: Zero Downtime Trading Web UX (OpenFin with ODP OpenShift CI/CD), Alessandro Petroni, Director of Strategy and Solutions, FinServ/FinTech and Matthew Ward, Senior Principal Architect (Red Hat); Chuck Danielsson (OpenFin) After a presentation of Red Hat's vision for the future of the FINOS Open Development Platform (ODP), Red Hat and OpenFin will present a collaboratively developed proof-of-concept demonstrating an app deployed on OpenFin live-reloading using Red Hat's OpenShift on ODP. Using the OpenFin and OpenShift APIs, a developer can notify a production desktop app that a new UAT version is available and allow the user to swap to the updated app without reloading the OpenFin runtime. The presenters will show how developers can empower users and decision-makers to easily evaluate new features without interrupting their workflows. |
