Building Atlassian Connect add-ons with client-server frameworks like Express.JS and Play produces powerful add-ons, but requires hosting and database consideration. In contrast, "static" Connect add-ons are easier to write and far simpler to deploy. A static Connect add-on is simply a set of files (including an atlassian-connect.json descriptor) that are web accessible, either through a web server or via deployment to a CDN. Static add-ons have several advantages. First, infinite scalability. Why pay for CPU when you can let the user agent do the work? Second, simple persistence. Why pay for disk when you have local storage and JIRA & Confluence's persistence REST APIs? Third, extreme performance. Let a worldwide CDN serve your files from the nearest edge - it's literally impossible to compete with a static add-on when it comes to performance! Finally, easy caching. Why bother serving requests when your unchanged static files can be cached indefinitely with simple HTTP caching? In this talk I'll highlight the benefits and restrictions of static add-on architecture, and discuss the nuts and bolts of implementing a static add-on. I'll also show off the static add-on skeleton that will get your static add-on development off to a flying start.
AtlasCamp 2014: Building a Connect Add-on With Your Own StackAtlassian
Atlassian provides two easy-to-use frameworks for getting a Connect add-on up and running quickly – atlassian-connect-express and ac-play. But what if these frameworks don't quite fit your bill? What does it mean to build a Connect add-on with your own stack? What components do you need to write? And how does it all fit together? Attending this talk will give you enough background information to implement an add-on in the language and technology stack of your choice.

How to investigate and recover from a security breach – real-life experiences with WordPress
Sometimes the bad guys get in, despite all the protections and precautions. If that happens, there are many techniques that can be used to stop further damage, track down what the intruder did and how they got in. Finally the site needs to be cleaned up and re-opened for visitors. In this talk the most important techniques are presented along with real-life examples when they were used.

Search in WordPress - how it works and howto customize itOtto Kekäläinen
WordPress search customization is a topic we at Seravo get asked about on a frequent basis. There are many different ways to customize the search, and customers understandably want to learn the best practices. The search can be customized quite easily with small changes on PHP code level, and by utilizing MariaDB database’s built-in search functionality. You can also choose a more robust way to do this, and build a new ElasticSearch server just for your case.
These slides are from the webinar on January 14th, 2021: https://seravo.com/blog/webinar-search-function-and-how-to-customize-it/
Presentation from webinar held on August 19th, 2020, with Xdebug developer Derick Rethans and Seravo CEO Otto Kekäläinen.
This presentation shows you how to use Xdebug (which is very easy with the Seravo WordPress development environment!) to make a record of what the WordPress PHP code does during a website page load, and how to use that information to optimize the performance of your WordPress site.

Going on an HTTP Diet: Front-End Web PerformanceAdam Norwood
Is your web site or web app feeling sluggish? Getting tired of watching your pages slowly render, the long seconds ticking away before your snazzy jQuery doohickey even has a chance to fire? Chances are it’s not that slow bit of code or that clunky database behind the scenes that’s to blame – 80% of the time spent loading most web pages is on the client side! At this talk, we’ll take a look at some of the easiest low-hanging fruit you can go after to help speed up web performance on the front end, from slimming down the size of content to optimizing HTTP requests, and more.
Legacy software can be like a zombie: it somehow still works, but nobody would consider it alive and well anymore and the thought of having to touch it makes you want to run away. So what can you do to get rid of it?
We are currently replacing our monolithic e-commerce platform with a shiny new custom-tailored solution and want to show you what we do and what we have already learned.
(WEB305) Migrating Your Website to AWS | AWS re:Invent 2014Amazon Web Services
Moving your website to AWS can provide you numerous advantages around the ability to grow, increasing physical security, and lowering the costs of running your website. In this session we'll focus on how you can move your existing website to AWS so you can take advantage of these benefits. You'll be hearing the about how BuzzFeed migrated to AWS when Hurricane Sandy impacted their operations. Director of Buzzfeed's Tech Ops, Eugene Ventimiglia, will walk through the timeline of the migration and describe how BuzzFeed was able to continue serving millions of users during hurricane Sandy. We'll discuss how to set up your site in AWS, strategies for managing the transition through deployment tools, load balancing trial deployments, and DNS cutover, as well as configuration settings necessary to ensure that your site will run well.
Everyone agrees that unit tests are essential for building robust and maintainable software components. But how much code coverage should a project have? We claim that even 99% coverage is not enough.
We will show how we write tests, what we needed to do in order to make our code testable and why reaching the magical goal of 100% code coverage is so important to us.

Cross Site Scripting (XSS) Defense with JavaJim Manico
Cross Site Scripting Defense is difficult. The Java Programming language does not provide native key defenses necessary to throughly prevent XSS. As technologies such as Content Security Policy emerge, we still need pragmatic advice to stop XSS in legacy applications as well as new applications using traditional Java frameworks. First generation encoding libraries had both performance and completeness problems that prevent developers from through, production-safe XSS defense. This talk will deeply review the OWASP Java Encoder Project and the OWASP HTML Sanitizer Project and give detailed code samples highlighting their use. Additional advice on next-generation JavaScript and JSON workflows using the OWASP JSON Sanitizer will also be reviewed.

Tear Up Your Roadmap and Get Out of the BuildingAtlassian
You’d never knowingly ship something to your customers that didn’t deliver value, would you? Would you still stand your ground if you were under pressure to get a team of developers working on something?
You probably know that one of Atlassian’s most well-known values is “Don’t f*** the customer”, so learn what happened when a lean product team decided to tear up the roadmap because they were brave enough to admit they didn’t understand their customers well enough.
Join Janel Blattler, as she shares how her team used research to unveil a new plan in just a few weeks. You’ll be able to practice some techniques and walk away with a bucket load of inspiration.
Come along if you’d like to run research, but worry that you don’t have enough time or lack the skills to do so – you don’t need to be a researcher on your team. This session is for you if you’re looking for ways to drive customer empathy closer in the team, or you’d like to up your game and discover some new techniques for delivering lean research with actionable insights.
Nailing Measurement: a Framework for Measuring Metrics that MatterAtlassian
When it comes to designing apps and new features, we just can't get enough of metrics. In an age where we can collect data from almost anything, how can we cut through the noise and focus on the right metrics to measure the success and failures of the apps that we’re building?
Join Atlassian Product Manager Josephine Lee as she delves through what exactly makes a good metric. Throughout the talk, we’ll walk through real Atlassian examples of good and bad metrics. By exploring a framework for measurement, we’ll cover detailed features that showcase how best to measure and choose the right set of success, supportive, and counter metrics.
You'll walk away with tips and learnings from Atlassian’s approach to measuring success, and learn how to use data and metrics to inspire action in your apps.
Building Apps With Color Blind Users in MindAtlassian
Color-blind people are using your apps. 1 in 12 men is color blind. And for women, this is 1 in 200.
Building apps that work well for color blind people is not difficult. Some simple techniques help us with the design of our interface. And some tools help us see what color blind people see.
In this talk, Maarten Arts of Avisi will look at common varieties of color blindness. We will look at apps through the eyes of a color-blind person. And we will discover what color-blind people struggle with.
Regardless of whether you're a designer or developer, this talk will equip you with the skills and the tools you need to make sure that your app works for color-blind people.
Creating Inclusive Experiences: Balancing Personality and Accessibility in UX...Atlassian
The words we choose have the power to include or alienate our users. The reality is that for many, English is spoken as a second language. And unless you're going to localize your product for those major non-English speaking markets, you'll need to thoughtfully create content that is accessible to a larger audience.
But how do we create products that maintain a sense of personality without isolating a wide audience of non-native speakers?
Join Atlassian Content Designer, Roana Bilia, as she walks you through why thoughtful, inclusive content, is key to creating well-designed user experiences. You'll walk away with foundational principles for good UX copy when optimizing your product UI, a few quick wins that you as creators and developers can incorporate into your next products, as well as a set of mistakes to avoid that companies—including Atlassian—have made, which prioritized native speakers but isolated non-native speakers.
Beyond Diversity: A Guide to Building Balanced TeamsAtlassian
We hear it all the time, and we get it. Diversity and inclusion are important! But isn't it an HR problem? HR may be able to help with diversity but inclusion or creating an inclusive environment is everyone's responsibility. So how do we create an inclusive environment that celebrates diversity and engages and supports everyone? Isabel Nyo will be sharing best practices and lessons she has learned along the way. She will also be sharing her experience as a minority, a female technical leader, in the technology industry.

Search and Society: Reimagining Information Access for Radical FuturesBhaskar Mitra
The field of Information retrieval (IR) is currently undergoing a transformative shift, at least partly due to the emerging applications of generative AI to information access. In this talk, we will deliberate on the sociotechnical implications of generative AI for information access. We will argue that there is both a critical necessity and an exciting opportunity for the IR community to re-center our research agendas on societal needs while dismantling the artificial separation between the work on fairness, accountability, transparency, and ethics in IR and the rest of IR research. Instead of adopting a reactionary strategy of trying to mitigate potential social harms from emerging technologies, the community should aim to proactively set the research agenda for the kinds of systems we should build inspired by diverse explicitly stated sociotechnical imaginaries. The sociotechnical imaginaries that underpin the design and development of information access technologies needs to be explicitly articulated, and we need to develop theories of change in context of these diverse perspectives. Our guiding future imaginaries must be informed by other academic fields, such as democratic theory and critical theory, and should be co-developed with social science scholars, legal scholars, civil rights and social justice activists, and artists, among others.

Kubernetes & AI - Beauty and the Beast !?! @KCD Istanbul 2024Tobias Schneck
As AI technology is pushing into IT I was wondering myself, as an “infrastructure container kubernetes guy”, how get this fancy AI technology get managed from an infrastructure operational view? Is it possible to apply our lovely cloud native principals as well? What benefit’s both technologies could bring to each other?
Let me take this questions and provide you a short journey through existing deployment models and use cases for AI software. On practical examples, we discuss what cloud/on-premise strategy we may need for applying it to our own infrastructure to get it to work from an enterprise perspective. I want to give an overview about infrastructure requirements and technologies, what could be beneficial or limiting your AI use cases in an enterprise environment. An interactive Demo will give you some insides, what approaches I got already working for real.

"Impact of front-end architecture on development cost", Viktor TurskyiFwdays
I have heard many times that architecture is not important for the front-end. Also, many times I have seen how developers implement features on the front-end just following the standard rules for a framework and think that this is enough to successfully launch the project, and then the project fails. How to prevent this and what approach to choose? I have launched dozens of complex projects and during the talk we will analyze which approaches have worked for me and which have not.
Let's dive deeper into the world of ODC! Ricardo Alves (OutSystems) will join us to tell all about the new Data Fabric. After that, Sezen de Bruijn (OutSystems) will get into the details on how to best design a sturdy architecture within ODC.
