API Design Methodology - Mike Amundsen, Director of API Architecture, API Aca...CA API Management
At some point, we all need to design and implement APIs for the Web. What makes Web APIs different than typical component APIs? How can you leverage the power of the Internet when creating your Web API? What characteristics to many "great" Web APIs share? Is there a consistent process you can use to make sure you design a Web API that best fits your needs both now and in the future?
In this session Mike Amundsen describes a clear methodology for designing Web APIs (based on the book "RESTful Web APIs" by Richardson and Amundsen) that allows you to map key aspects of your business into a usable, scalable, and flexible interface that will reach your goals while creating a compelling API for both server and client developers. Whether you are looking to implement a private, partner, or public API, these principles will help you focus on the right metrics and design goals to create a successful API.
DevRelCon 2022: "Is Product Led Growth (PLG) the “DevOps” of the DevRel World"Daniel Bryant
Over the last year, the Ambassador Labs team has doubled down on their adoption of Product Led Growth (PLG), a growth model where product usage drives customer acquisition, retention, and expansion. It’s been an interesting journey for the DevRel team, who have found themselves working more closely with both the sales and growth engineering teams.
In their quest to reduce the friction of product adoption, they’re thinking more and more about the end-to-end experiences, experimentation, instrumentation, data analysis, and handoffs — much like we saw in the software development world with the adoption of DevOps breaking down barriers between engineering and operations.
The Ambassador Labs team have learned more about the value of creating hypotheses and analyzing quantitative data, but have also been reminded that there is no substitute for qualitative data and engaging human-to-human. Join Daniel for a whistle-stop tour of PLG through the DevRel lens:
– Understand how moving to PLG can impact devrel teams and the work they do: for better and worse!
– Explore how DevRel tooling and community platforms are increasingly overlapping with PLG marketer tooling
– Learn how to structure your goals, common languages, and teams for successfully adopting PLG

Presentation about the native browser way for building web components. We look at examples and the pros and cons of doing it natively and using a library. At the end we look at the Angular way of wrapping custom components into Custom Elements.
This talk will introduce Zero-Knowledge Proofs (ZKPs) and explain why they are a key element in a growing number of privacy-preserving, digital-identity platforms. Clare will provide basic illustrations of ZKPs and leave the necessary mathematics foundations to the readers.
After this talk you will understand that there is a variety of ZKPs, it’s still early days, and why ZKP is such a perfect tool for digital identity platforms. This talk includes significant updates from the newly-organized ZKProof Standardization organization plus a signal of maturity: one of the first known ZKP vulnerabilities.
Clare will explain why ZKPs are so powerful, and why they are building blocks for a range of applications including privacy-preserving cryptocurrency such as Zcash, Ethereum, Artificial Intelligence, and older versions of Trusted Platform Modules (TPMs). The presentation includes many backup slides for future learning and researching, including four slides of references.
Secure custody of digital assets - IDC Security conferenceNagib Aouini
Digital assets and cryptocurrencies hack is a recurring issue that generated losses worth billions of USD over the last couple of years. Numerous exchanges have been hacked and some of them went bankrupt. With the increasing interest of institutional players including stock exchanges and banks, secure protection of digital assets from external and internal attacks as well as from loss is of the utmost importance. Key takeaways of this talk are
• Context and drivers for secure custody of digital assets
• How thefts from cryptocurrency exchanges happens ?
• Why it is difficult to protect digital assets and cryptocurrencies, risks and mitigation techniques.
• Best practices for crypto custody and cryptocurrencies wallet management (BTC, IOTA,ETH,XLM …)
La Finance Décentralisée (DeFi) est un domaine révolutionnaire qui redéfinit la manière dont la finance opère. Au cours de cette présentation, nous allons plonger dans l'univers de la DeFi en commençant par une définition claire de ce concept, mettant en lumière son caractère décentralisé et les avantages qu'il offre. Pour bien comprendre la DeFi, il est essentiel de considérer les lacunes de la finance traditionnelle (TradFi), que nous analyserons en détail. Vous découvrirez également l'évolution rapide de la DeFi, depuis ses modestes débuts jusqu'à son rôle central dans l'écosystème de la blockchain et de la finance. Nous examinerons les moyens pratiques pour y accéder, en passant en revue les outils essentiels, et nous explorerons en profondeur les diverses applications de la DeFi. De plus, nous mettrons en évidence le rôle crucial de la blockchain dans ce contexte. Enfin, nous aborderons les piliers fondamentaux de la DeFi et équilibrerons la présentation en discutant de ses avantages indéniables et de ses défis intrinsèques, notamment en termes de sécurité et de règlementation. Cette présentation vise à fournir un aperçu complet de la DeFi, destiné à informer, éduquer et susciter la réflexion sur l'avenir de la finance décentralisée.
A microservice approach for legacy modernisationluisw19
Very large portion of the world’s business critical systems are considered to be ‘legacy’ –and so is the code underpinning them (ie COBOL, PASCAL, C, to name a few). Although in many cases it is the case that these systems are robust, stable and fit for the main purpose they were originally built, they aren’t flexible and scalable enough to support emerging requirements mainly derived from a more demanding ‘always on the move’ and ‘always connected’ user.
These systems struggle to meet these demands mainly because of the ‘monolithic’ approach on which they were built and the complexity hidden in millions of lines of code that is only understood a very few hand-full of people that still remain active from the teams that several years ago developed these systems.
In almost an equal amount there have also been thousands of failed attempts to modernise these legacy systems. The ‘eating the elephant’ in one go approach certainly didn’t work, and the traditional SOA approach alone although worked till certain extend, it also fell short when it came down to addressing specific requirements around scalability and platform/service inter-dependencies.
In this presentation I will talk about how a legacy modernisation framework based on Microservice Architecture (MSA) in conjunction with some other known SOA patterns (ie. ESB, API Gateway), can be applied to ‘eat the elephant one piece at the time’ but most importantly ‘without getting indigestion’

● Near-term focus is on the Abaxx Exchange
● Exchanges & Marketplaces are some of the
most highly valued sectors in finance; from
traditional equities and derivatives
exchanges, to software-technology enabled
marketplaces (Ex. Google, Uber & AirBnB)
● Exchanges trade at a premium to other
types of financial institutions due to: higher
fee-based and recurring revenues, less
cyclicality and oligopolistic market
dynamics with high entry barriers
● Abaxx’s ultimate model will blend aspects of
other highly-valued sectors including
Market Data Providers, Distributed Ledger
Technologies and Work Automation cos.

16. Abaxx is partnering with LNG and Carbon market participants to execute the first global Carbon Offset Physical
LNG trade cleared and settled from a futures contract. We are developing a working group with market leading
participants in both LNG and Carbon/Environmental markets.
● This will be a transaction focused inaugural trade that would provide an opportunity to become a leader in new
ESG related commodity markets.
● This project will help us shape the future of commodity and socially-responsible markets.
Objectives are to:
● Lead the way by completing the market’s first Carbon
Neutral LNG Futures trade.
● Demonstrate our organization's commitment to ESG goals.
● Forge the future with encrypted technology and secure
transactions, transforming Carbon and LNG trading.

17. • New digitization tools for spot market clearing
and settlement
• New tools for metals markets to meet
developing criteria and methods for ESG
standards
• Risk management tools
The Gold Problem:
Limited ability to discover price and manage
price risk
• Miners and end users have limited choice, being price
takers where price may not reflect local market
fundamentals.
• Hedge effectiveness is lower when forward/ futures
markets don’t converge with spot.
• No real time access to prevailing bid:ask for spot.
• Limited ability to find non-LBMA counterparts that
might have complementary needs.
• Global pressure to embrace and adopt new ESG
standards and criteria in all metals markets.

New Gold Product
Solution:

• The ability to integrate trusted registries to meet developing market criteria
and methods for ESG standards and greater global responsibility.
• New ways to provide an intelligent and socially responsible approach to
commodity benchmarks.
