The document discusses 5 keys to building high availability web applications: 1) develop applications with availability in mind by anticipating failures, 2) always plan for scaling to increasing traffic, 3) mitigate risks through redundancy, fallback mechanisms, and rapid failure detection, 4) monitor applications to establish baselines and detect anomalies, and 5) ensure responsive availability through incident response processes, alerting, and escalation procedures.
Keeping an application running at scale can be a daunting task. When do you need to add more capacity? Larger databases? Additional servers? These questions get harder as the complexity of your application grows. Microservice based architectures and cloud-based dynamic infrastructures are technologies that help you keep your application running with high availability, even during times of extreme scaling. We will discuss some of the best practices we’ve learned working with New Relic customers on how you can manage your applications running at scale, and how technologies such as microservices and dynamic infrastructure can help you with this challenge.

Microsoft Azure vs Amazon Web Services (AWS) Services & Feature MappingIlyas F ☁☁☁
If you are a Cloud Architect, Developer, IT Manager, Director or whoever may be, if you are associated with Azure or AWS cloud in some form, I’m sure you must have come across a common question.
“What is the alternate service available in Azure or AWS vice versa and it’s pricing?” I’m sure you will say yes!
Agreed, it’s hard to remember all the services offered by public clouds, i.e. Azure and AWS. Remembering existing services and their benefits itself is a big task, on top of that updating ourselves with the new feature releases and enhancements is another major task.
So I put together a Service & Feature Mappings between Microsoft Azure & AWS for my and colleagues quick reference.

In the past we’ve built businesses and organisations to last. We were afraid. We needed predictability to feel safe. Now we have the confidence to grow businesses that offer less safety yet more creativity, serendipity and fun.
We foster the surprisability of organisations: Our ability to grow from surprises, to rise strong from falling. This allows us to be daring and brave. Which in turn fosters: Our ability to surprise markets, our customers, our partners, our competitors.
We’ve learned to surf the waves of complexity, to steer our ship safely through the storms. Now we are the storm, we’re causing the waves.
Olaf will take you through the organisational capabilities that increase surprisability:
A clear sense of identity (we know who we are).
A clear sense of purpose (we know what we want).
Freedom. we are powerful beings, able to make good decisions.
Agility. challenging how we do things by focusing on why we do them.
Presence. letting go of anger and guilt from the past and anxiety of the future.
Courage in the face of uncertainty and ambiguity.

Is the digital transformation making your life more convenient or difficult?
The purpose of technology, whether you call it information technology or digital technology, has always been to make our lives more simple and our work more effective.
What about the digital transformation that is now creating rumbling shifts in the marketplace? Everyone is going digital, Soon the entire world will be a digital jungle. Experts claim that we are all either a digital pioneer, digital native, digital immigrant or digital laggard. Personally, I believe there are also some digital monkeys out there.
The word "digitalization" is the hottest buzzword of the decade. If you ask people what it means to go "digital", you'll get a myriad of different answers. The definitions on what it's all about, are are as many as there are bloggers out there.
To put it bluntly, there is only one yardstick to measure the success of your digital transformation: It should make your life and the lives of your customers more convenient, not more confusing and complicated. That's it.

Keeping Modern Applications PerformingLee Atchison
It’s your big day, the day of the year your company either makes it, or breaks it. Your customers expect your system to work, always. Excuses are unacceptable.
To meet this new challenge, your application must use modern tools and techniques. Serverless, containers, and cloud technologies are working with new DevOps processes and risk management concepts in order to build a dynamic, highly scalable, highly available application that meets your customers needs.
And central to all of this is the modern analytics necessary to determine how your system is running and what you need to do to keep it running...at scale.
Your customers demand modern applications, and modern applications demand modern tools and modern analytics.
Are you ready to meet these modern challenges?

Technical Webinar with AWS - Everything You Need to Measure in Your MigrationNew Relic
Migrating to the cloud is more than moving your workloads. There are some critical questions you need to be asking at each step—from how your app performance improved (or didn’t), to what the user experience looks like before, during, and after the move. Knowing the right questions to ask—and then answering them with the right data—is essential to succeed in your migration.
No matter what stage of the journey or what type of migration path you’re on—whether it’s “lift and shift” or completely re-architecting—there will be valuable insights you can put to use right away in your own initiative.

Scrum, XP, and Kanban have been proven to provide step changes in productivity and quality for software teams. However, these methods do not have the native constructs necessary to scale to challenges of building enterprise class software systems. What the industry desperately needs is a solution that moves from a set of simplistic, disparate, development-centric methods, to a scalable, unified approach that addresses the complex constructs and additional stakeholders in the organization- and enables realization of enterprise-class product or service initiatives via aligned and cooperative solution development.
In this talk, Dean Leffingwell describes how to accomplish this with the Scaled Agile Framework, a publicly - accessible knowledge base of proven Lean and Agile practices for enterprise-class software development. He approaches the problem from the perspectives of Lean thinking and principles of product development flow, illustrating how these core principles help deliver business results at scale, while keeping the development system - and the enterprise - lean and responsive to rapidly changing market needs. And since winning is more fun, he’ll also describe some of the personal benefits that come when teams master the art of delivering better enterprise-class software, at an ever faster pace.
Migrating to the Cloud - What to do when things go sidewaysLee Atchison
What happens when your migration goes sideways? How do you make sure it doesn’t happen again? In this session, we discuss how do migrate your application to the cloud so it doesn’t go sideways. We talk about KPIs, and acceptance criteria. We talk about how to tell when your migration is complete and your system is operating as it should in the cloud. We talk about how to understand what your application is made of, so that you can properly plan and execute your cloud migration.

Case Study: Continuous Delivery in a Tech Debt Laden World by Talk Talk.CA Technologies
You have one website, one Web service and a database. If you have an architecture like this, then continuous delivery is trivial. In the real world, the challenges are much more pronounced. Imagine a system of apps and databases measured in the hundreds. Imagine that those apps have been developed over 15 years, fuelled by the growth of the business and numerous acquisitions.
This is the challenge most enterprise-level organizations face. This is not your three-tier beauty but the real world of interconnected systems that lack documentation and subject matter experts. This session will focus on the challenge of getting an estate the size of Talk Talk's into a state where automation gives value. It will focus on the work Talk Talk has done with CA Technologies and where the tooling allows it to reduce technical debt and start on the automation journey, culminating at continuous delivery.

Risk Management - Avoiding Availability Disasters in Service-based ApplicationsLee Atchison
Bringing down an application is easy. All it takes is the failure of a single service and the entire set of services that make up the application can come crashing down like a house of cards. Just one minor error from a non-critical service can be disastrous to the entire application. There are, of course, many ways to prevent dependent services from failing. However, adding extra resiliency in non-critical services also adds complexity and cost, and sometimes it is not needed.
Application availability is best served by focusing your energies and processes on your most critical systems while working to minimize the impact of non-critical systems. Service Tiers are a way to accomplish this.
In this talk, we will learn what service tiers are and how they can be applied to service based applications. Then we will show how to utilize service tiers to keep your application available and functioning as designed. We will use example service definitions to illustrate how service tiers can help you keep your application working.
Temperature probes monitoring crops? Micro drones monitoring wind speed in the atmosphere? You don’t have to turn to these novel uses to see edge computing in action, look no further than the Point of Sale device at your local grocery store or the app on your mobile phone that is letting you order a cup of coffee.
Edge computing is all about taking the specific timing-sensitive parts of your application and moving them closer to where they are needed…whether that need is an end user or a source of interesting data, it’s all the same thing.
What really is the edge and how do we deal with it? How do we decide what computing should occur at the edge and what computing should occur in the cloud? How do you verify that your application is doing what it is expected to do? How do you know if you are meeting your performance expectations in the edge? How do you keep visibility in your entire application, whether it’s in the cloud or at the edge?

0x01 - Newton's Third Law: Static vs. Dynamic AbusersOWASP Beja
f you offer a service on the web, odds are that someone will abuse it. Be it an API, a SaaS, a PaaS, or even a static website, someone somewhere will try to figure out a way to use it to their own needs. In this talk we'll compare measures that are effective against static attackers and how to battle a dynamic attacker who adapts to your counter-measures.

Example (Real Life)
Our web application showing a page…
One day, that 3rd
party system failed
An avatar was representing
the customer on each page
The app didn’t know what
to do – so it failed, too
A 3rd party system
generated the avatar
Our applicationwas completelydown,
all because ofa minoricon missing...
17. 17
Why did this cause your
application to fail?
§ Recognizedthe failureof the 3rd party provider as
soon as possible
§ Substitutea generic image (or removed it)
when the servicefailurewas detected
§ Circuit Breaker patternwould help a lot here
It didn’t know how to respond.
It could have:

Example (Real Life)
Accountservice was havingperformanceproblems…
Customers felt a
performance problem
Someone was
sending bad requests

System had
“browned out”
0
Service tried to
process the request…
(And eventually failed)

So, what brought our
application to its knees?
§ Input to the servicewas obviously bad
§ Yet, we attempted to use the input
§ Result was a failedservice
