Managing your black Friday logs - CloudConf.ITDavid Pilato
Monitoring an entire application is not a simple task, but with the right tools it is not a hard task either. However, events like Black Friday can push your application to the limit, and even cause crashes. As the system is stressed, it generates a lot more logs, which may crash the monitoring system as well. In this talk I will walk through the best practices when using the Elastic Stack to centralize and monitor your logs. I will also share some tricks to help you with the huge increase of traffic typical in Black Fridays.

Usually, DataOps means applying DevOps principles to existing data analytics projects. We accidentally reversed it, taking a DevOps initiative and catalyzing adoption of data-driven practices across our company.
What started as a practical initiative to bring better reliability and visibility to our software product had the unexpected effect of catalyzing a transformation that helped our organization become more data-driven across the company. What we learned in the process was how and why DevOps principles can naturally expand the role of a traditional operations team and bring wider culture change to the organization.
The certification of the Blockchain engineer program is going to help you acquire a complete knowledge about this technology and also learn the implementation part.
Here's the deck we used for our Series-B round. We raised $150M 6 months after our Series-A and 8 months prior our Seed. It was led by Altimeter and Coatue.

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.

3. MOTIVATION & Methodology Overview
An early and leading indicator of value creation in emerging platforms is developer engagement. Developers build
killer applications that deliver value to end users and customers, which attracts more customers, which then draws
more developers. Because Web3 is open-source, we have a unique and unprecedent ability to understand an
emerging industry worth almost $3 trillion.
For the 2021 report, we analyzed nearly 500K code repositories and 160M code commits. The taxonomy of projects
and to which ecosystems they belong is crowdsourced from CoinGecko, CoinMarketCap, DappRadar, DefiLlama,
DefiPulse, Github, Gitlab, and the foundations from many of ecosystems.
We infer non-original commits, which account for 65% of the total, and credit only the original authors and original
ecosystems that produce code. We do not count non- libraries and try our best to eliminate machine generated code
such as config files. More details are in the appendix.

4. Caveats
We undercount developers because we rely on open-source repositories only
There are many more developers than accounted for in our report. Some teams are working on important closed
source projects. Some teams will open-source their code later. We also undercount developers in roles such as
backporting, testing, or release engineering as their efforts may not result in unique code contributions.
It will require more than just software engineers to build products and reach mainstream adoption, so this is a
dramatic undercounting of the number of people building in crypto/Web3.
Not All Commits Are Created Equal
Some code commits may be routine changes, whereas others represent hours of accumulated research and analysis.
Despite these caveats, we consider the analysis in this report directionally and relatively accurate.

100. Are these developers copying code from ethereum or primarily
contributing to the new evm chains?
100
101. does being evm-compatible allow for new, self-sufficient ecosystems?
in some cases, yes
Primary Contributors
Developers working on projects whose token lives on the same
chain as the smart contract. Even if the code is copy/pasted, these
developers are commited to the new cchain more than Ethereum.
Cross-Chain Contributors
Work on projects that serve users on Chain A, but whose primary
governance token lives on Chain B. This implies these developers
are not primarily committed to Chain A.
101
102. Some chains like POlygon have more cross-chain developers (building on
both ethereum and polygon) than primary developers

These ecosystems didn’t exist in 2020
117. developer engagement is not the best lens for all ecosystems
NFTs, Gaming, and DAOs - New Community Signals Coming Soon
We did not deep dive into NFTs, DAOs, and Gaming since aggregate developer metrics alone may be misleading and
may not be the correct leading indicator to consider. In these markets, a relatively small number of developers can
build reusable components and the amount of smart contract code written will be small relative to community
engagement. For example, a very small amount of code written by just one developer might drive a large PFP NFT
project ecosystem. Or in the case of games, the majority of code may be off chain and closed source, thereby making
extrapolation from on-chain and open source data very noisy.
We believe community engagement signals are an important and complementary leading indicator for the NFT,
Gaming, and DAO markets. We are working on several novel ways to gather community data and signals and will
share our results later in 2022.

123. Web3 is just getting started
The growth of developers in Web3 represents a small, yet rapidly expanding portion of
software engineers globally
Side by side with the largest Web2 internet companies (e.g. Facebook, Google), the Web3 developer contigent is
comparable in size. As a new industry or technology (e.g. PHP, Python), Web3 has plenty of headroom.
NFTs, Gaming, DAOs and Future Use Cases
Considering the breadth of possible applications, there is much to be excited about. Web3 is not just about
cryptocurrencies and trading; many developers are attracted by the possibility to innovate on new platforms. A wide
range of primitives, protocols, and applications around NFTs, gaming, DeFi, and DAOs are yet to be created.
123
125. Help map the web3 ecosystem
We’ve opened our ecosystem map on GitHub so that anyone can contribute
Check out our ecosystem mappin
Submit a new ecosystem via our form on Airtable
Or submit a pull request in our Github: https://github.com/electric-capital/crypto-ecosystems
We will use this data for our reports going forward.

129. Commit Counting Methodology: Not all code commits are created equal
Forks
Only new code counts towards developer activity. We omit code
and developer activity from merging changes from the upstream
codebase.
Fingerprinting
Fingerprinting is a technique used to identify commits originating
from upstream projects. We look at the files and lines changed, the
commit message, committer, author, and associated dates. This
eliminates copy/pasted code from counting towards an ecosystem.
Commits from Integrating Open Source Libraries
Integrating common libraries does not count toward code activity.
Branches
We look at commits from all branches (master/development, etc.)
and tags. We look beyond Github's default view, which can be
incomplete.
Limitations
We only look at open-source repositories. There are many
repositories that are not yet open-source. However, we are
planning to enrich the open-source code data with deployed on-
chain smart contract code.
129
130. How are developers counted?
Developers
We count original code authors as developers. This means that a
developer who merges a pull request is not an active developer on
the project, but the original authors of the commits are.
Full-Time Contributors
Contributed code 10+ days out of a month
Part Time Contributors
Contributed code fewer than 10 days out of a month
One Time Contributors
Contributed code once in a rolling 3-month window
Monthly Developer
We count commits during the next 28 days of the commit
happening to generate more stability in the data
Top-200 category
Any ecosystem that has been in the Top 200 rank by network
valuation for at least 90 days in the corresponding year
