After the refreshments, next session was by Senthil Kumar, Head of Technologies at Aahaa Stores and a Magento Certified Developer Plus Professional.
His presentation was about GST (Goods and Service Tax) customization and implementation in Magento2. He explained the intricacies of GST and its calculations.
It was a very interactive session with animated discussions on how native Magento Tax management works and how we can reuse the existing class and customize it without writing too many lines of codes.

The last session was by Jayakanth, Magento Certified Developer Plus Professional at DCKAP. He talked about how FPC (Full Page Cache) helps to improve the performance in Magento2 store.
The discussion veered towards Varnish and its role in improving front-end performance. There was a debate on whether Varnish or CDN/AmazonCloudFront was the best option to improve performance.
There were technical deep dives on setting cacheable false for pages that have dynamic content’ and preparing blocks for hole punching in Magento 2.
