Million Browser Botnet - Live Demonstration by Michael Smith, CSIRT Director, Akamai Technologies & Matt Johansen, Sr. Manager, Threat Research Center, WhiteHat Security Inc.
Online advertising networks can be a web hacker's best friend. For mere pennies per thousand browser impressions, service providers allow you to broadly distribute arbitrary JavaScript. Most advertisers use this feature to show ads, track users, and get clicks, but hackers don’t play by the same rules as the rest of us. Absolutely nothing prevents them from spending as little as $10 to create a massive JavaScript-driven browser botnet instantly.  Join us for this presentation as WhiteHat Security founder and CEO, Jeremiah Grossman; WhiteHat Threat Research Center Manager, Matt Johansen; and Akamai CSIRT Director Michael Smith show you how easily a bad actor can commandeer browsers to perform DDoS attacks, participate in email spam campaigns, crack hashes, and even help brute-force passwords using just a few lines of HTML5 and JavaScript.

A Modern Approach to Performance Monitoring by Cliff Crocker, VP of Product Management, SOASTA
"How fast are you? How fast should you be? How do you get there? In this talk Cliff will discuss traditional approaches to performance measurement and introduce a ""RUM First"" methodology. This approach begins with capturing performance directly from the end user as the single source of truth for cross-functional organizations focused on performance.
Along the way, you will discover the relationship between RUM and synthetic monitoring, learn what to measure and how to capture it and finally how perceived performance impacts human behavior and your bottom line.

Edge 2016 service workers and other front end techniquesakamaidevrel
The challenge of maintaining a secure site is typically prioritized over creating a fast and optimal site, because of the focus on blocking malicious traffic at the origin. It is often forgotten that security is not only a concern at the origin, but also at the browser. And with that, there are new opportunities to safely secure the user experience while also optimizing the front-end experience.

You probably feel at times that it is more probable that a black hole will wander into your datacenter than for you to get funding to improve the performance of your application. This workshop will show you the tricks to financially model the impact of performance. Use these tools to convince the business that improving performance not only drives revenue, it also reduces operational costs.
Images have a high correlation to page load time. Optimizing image delivery through compression alone is a daunting task. Using HTTP2's superpowers, we can optimize images to ship faster, increasing the perceived performance and initiating users' emotional responses to visuals earlier.

Third party-performance (Airbnb Nerds, Nov 2013)Guy Podjarny
Almost every site on the internet today serves 3rd-party assets and code - jQuery, analytics, trackers, share buttons, ads - from both their own servers and others - cloud providers, dedicated hardware, CDNs, google hosting. These third parties can have a significant effect on performance, delaying the load event, deferring actions, and being a single point of failure beyond your control. This deck discusses techniques and strategies for working with 3rd parties within these limitations, and shares some relevant community work.
Third parties are a part of our reality, and offer great business value - but also present some very real performance concerns.
This deck attempts to define and offer strategies, along with some practical tips, on how to deal with this problem.
Great Lakes Area .Net UG: Optimize .Net Azure App ServicesBrian McKeiver
Check out more on my blog at: https://www.mcbeev.com/
Azure App Services are basically the de facto standard as the best possible way to deploy and host a .Net Framework or .Net Core application, period. You can argue with me until you are blue in the face about other hosting methods or platforms, but you would still be wrong.
However, utilizing an Azure App Service as your hosting method is not the same as utilizing standard IIS, especially when it comes to optimization. During the session we will deploy a .Net Core MVC application to Azure, determine an initial baseline for performance, and then walk through how to configure various properties and server-side configurations that make that site blazing fast.
When a web visitor wants to open a specific page, they make a request through their browser. Instead of going directly to the origin server, the request is instead sent to the nearest PoP server, which in turn will be the one to deliver the requested web page, elements and all.

Amp up your Site with Accelerated Mobile PagesBrian McKeiver
My presentation from South Florida Code Camp 2016 on Accelerated Mobile Pages (AMP). SFLCC was in lovely Fort Lauderdale, Florida.
Google started AMP as an initiative to dramatically improve the performance of the mobile web. The main approach that AMP employs is placing HTML on a diet, in an attempt to gain breakneck speeds, for loading content on our mobile devices. This new open-source based framework throws out the standard approach to loading bloated CSS and JavaScript libraries and instead becomes a lean, mean superfast machine. Join me to find out what exactly are Accelerated Mobile Pages, what do they mean for search, and how can you prepare for it on your website?
Terraform, the first multi-vendor infrastructure tool from HashiCorp, helps you build, update, and version your infrastructure safely and efficiently. We love it for the simple syntax and because it lets us combine infrastructure from multiple vendors - reducing complexity and the effort that goes into managing multiple infrastructures.
In this webinar we’ll explain what the Akamai Terraform Provider includes, how you can get started with the Akamai Terraform Provider, and we’ll showcase a demo for a variety of use-cases we documented from early adopters.
In last 4 years, two new image formats were added to the web technology arsenal -- WebP & JPEG XR. These image formats are far superior to their predecessors, but unfortunately are only supported by very specific browsers, and aren't always easy to generate. Akamai has recently added support for these image formats, and learned a lot in the process. In this short talk, Ido will explain more about these formats and share some of our experience working with them.

The “caching ecosystem” has evolved over the years – what, where, and how long you cache your web assets are now important considerations for anyone doing business on the internet. Browser cache, html5 application cache, sophisticated reverse proxies like Varnish, and the evolution of CDNs have all elevated caching as the single most effective tool for creating high performing and scalable web applications.
Using live demos, we will dive into some advance caching concepts that will enable you to squeeze the most benefits from this caching ecosystem, including:
Prefresh
Prefetching for sites
Prefetching for single page apps
Burst caching: caching for an extremely short burst of time, even a few seconds
Dynamic page caching
Cache invalidation and revalidation
However, with caching power comes caching responsibility. If not implemented correctly, these advanced techniques can degrade or even break site functionality. We will conclude with some practical exercises to define the caching strategy for key use cases:
E-commerce website
Mobile application
High traffic events.

Epistemic Interaction - tuning interfaces to provide information for AI supportAlan Dix
Paper presented at SYNERGY workshop at AVI 2024, Genoa, Italy. 3rd June 2024
https://alandix.com/academic/papers/synergy2024-epistemic/
As machine learning integrates deeper into human-computer interactions, the concept of epistemic interaction emerges, aiming to refine these interactions to enhance system adaptability. This approach encourages minor, intentional adjustments in user behaviour to enrich the data available for system learning. This paper introduces epistemic interaction within the context of human-system communication, illustrating how deliberate interaction design can improve system understanding and adaptation. Through concrete examples, we demonstrate the potential of epistemic interaction to significantly advance human-computer interaction by leveraging intuitive human communication strategies to inform system design and functionality, offering a novel pathway for enriching user-system engagements.

Poor user experience
Brand impact?
consumer confidence?
Traffic spikes can exceed customer’s origin capacity and risk the origin web infrastructure and may result the following consequences:
Low conversion rate
Retail sites see peak traffic during holiday season, especially during popular shopping days such as Cyber Monday and Black Friday
Visitor abandonment
Large surges in site visitors can overwhelm backend applications that require multiple, dynamic database queries and application processing to administer
Deploying additional infrastructure to support transaction systems during peak traffic periods is not ideal
very expensive
results in capacity under utilization as the additional infrastructure is only needed for a few days in a year.
- Customer needs to activate the the cloudlet when they’ve anticipated or are experiencing application overload
- Need to explain how they prioritize users
