Digital transformation that was projected to happen over the next 10 years is happening today. As computing becomes embedded in every aspect of our lives, there will no longer be such a thing as the “tech sector.” The world will be transformed through tech intensity, at scale.

In a digital-first company, the developer workflow influences how the entire company works. Fusion teams of pro developers and domain experts will be integrated across all functions and all disciplines.

Our ambition is to be the platform for platform creators.

This conference is not about setting new rules or constraints that dictate how or what you should build. It’s not about celebrating our own innovation. It’s about enabling your innovation and creating new opportunity for you. We want to help you help the world.

From GitHub to Visual Studio, we provide the most comprehensive toolchain and services for every developer, every app, and every platform, so you can rapidly go from idea to code and code to cloud.

If you describe what you want to do in natural language, GPT-3 generates a list of the most relevant formulas for you to choose from. The code writes itself.

The opportunity is clear: The next generation of applications will not be reactive, but proactive because of their ability to harness the power of data to drive that next level of intelligence.

Cosmos DB has become the go to database to power the world’s most demanding, mission-critical applications. New capabilities boost performance by more than 300 percent for read-heavy workloads.

The apps of the future will be cloud native, and you should be able to run them anywhere, across on-premises, edge, and multi-cloud.

Today, we’re excited to announce that Azure Applications services will now be able to run on Kubernetes and anywhere, with Azure Arc. This means you can now run your favorite @Azure application services on-premises, on the edge, and on other clouds.

.@SatyaNadella “Just like Win-32 defined a new era of apps, and web apps and mobile apps did the same, this new generation of cross-device, collaborative apps will be a transformational, first class platform for you.”

When you step back, it’s clear that as every company becomes a digital company, the largest developer opportunity is building industry-specific business process SaaS applications.

With the metaverse, the entire world becomes your app canvas.

Our promise to you is this: We will create more opportunity for every Windows developer today and welcome every creator who is looking for the most innovative, new, open platform to build, distribute, and monetize applications.

"Everything we will show you is designed to empower you to empower the world. I can’t wait to see what you create." - @SatyaNadella
