Felix Geisendörfer discusses how he hacked together a node.js alarm clock to help him wake up earlier in the morning. He talks about how previous attempts like behavioral conditioning and multiple alarms did not work. His node.js solution reliably wakes him up at any time he chooses by playing music through VLC. He then contrasts hacking, which is playful cleverness, with engineering, which is the rigorous application of science. While hacking can be a good solution, engineering is needed for things like libraries, domain logic, and performance. The talk encourages hacking to start but engineering more complex problems.
Setting up a GeoServer can sometimes be deceptively simple. However, going from proof of concept to production requires a number of steps to be taken in order to optimize the server in terms of availability, performance and scalability. The presentation will show how to get from a basic set up to a battle ready, rock solid installation by showing the ropes an advanced user already mastered.

Many services and applications are ill-equipped to handle a sudden rush of popularity, so their services either become unavailable or unbearably slow. By taking a chapter from the ant colonies in the wild, where their strength lies in their numbers and their ability to work together towards a common goal, you can achieve greater performance, more redundancy, higher availability and have the ability to scale services up and down as required easily. By leveraging systems such as gearman, memcache, daemons, message queues, load balancers and more, you too can enter the world of distributed systems and scalability.

Many services / applications now a day are ill equipped with handling a sudden rush of popularity, as is often the case on the internet now a days, to a point where the services either become unavailable or unbearably slow.
By taking a chapter from the ant colonies in the wild, where their strength lies in their numbers and the fact that everyone works together towards the same goal, we can apply the same principle to our
service by using systems such as:
- gearman
- memcache
- daemons
- message queues
- load balancers
and many more, you can achieve greater performance, more redundancy, higher availability and have the ability to scale your services up and down as required easily.
During this talk attendees will be lead through the world of distributed systems and scalability, and shown the how, where and what, of how to take the average application and splitting it into smaller more manageable pieces.

Neuro-symbolic is not enough, we need neuro-*semantic*Frank van Harmelen
Neuro-symbolic (NeSy) AI is on the rise. However, simply machine learning on just any symbolic structure is not sufficient to really harvest the gains of NeSy. These will only be gained when the symbolic structures have an actual semantics. I give an operational definition of semantics as “predictable inference”.
All of this illustrated with link prediction over knowledge graphs, but the argument is general.
GDG Cloud Southlake #33: Boule & Rebala: Effective AppSec in SDLC using Deplo...James Anderson
Effective Application Security in Software Delivery lifecycle using Deployment Firewall and DBOM
The modern software delivery process (or the CI/CD process) includes many tools, distributed teams, open-source code, and cloud platforms. Constant focus on speed to release software to market, along with the traditional slow and manual security checks has caused gaps in continuous security as an important piece in the software supply chain. Today organizations feel more susceptible to external and internal cyber threats due to the vast attack surface in their applications supply chain and the lack of end-to-end governance and risk management.
The software team must secure its software delivery process to avoid vulnerability and security breaches. This needs to be achieved with existing tool chains and without extensive rework of the delivery processes. This talk will present strategies and techniques for providing visibility into the true risk of the existing vulnerabilities, preventing the introduction of security issues in the software, resolving vulnerabilities in production environments quickly, and capturing the deployment bill of materials (DBOM).
Speakers:
Bob Boule
Robert Boule is a technology enthusiast with PASSION for technology and making things work along with a knack for helping others understand how things work. He comes with around 20 years of solution engineering experience in application security, software continuous delivery, and SaaS platforms. He is known for his dynamic presentations in CI/CD and application security integrated in software delivery lifecycle.
Gopinath Rebala
Gopinath Rebala is the CTO of OpsMx, where he has overall responsibility for the machine learning and data processing architectures for Secure Software Delivery. Gopi also has a strong connection with our customers, leading design and architecture for strategic implementations. Gopi is a frequent speaker and well-known leader in continuous delivery and integrating security into software delivery.
