This document outlines best practices for scaling websites based on eBay's experience managing over 2 billion page views per day. The five best practices are: 1) Partition everything to split problems into manageable chunks, 2) Use asynchrony everywhere to improve scalability, availability, and latency, 3) Automate everything to scale with machines rather than humans, 4) Remember that everything fails and build systems to tolerate failure, and 5) Embrace inconsistency since consistency cannot be guaranteed in distributed systems according to Brewer's CAP theorem. Patterns for implementing each practice like partitioning by data range, using event queues, and graceful degradation are also described.

Logging Wars: A Cross-Product Tech Clash Between Experts Benedek Menesi
Things WILL get VERY technical when two experts face-off in a unique session that explores polar perceptions regarding various types of logs, verbosity levels, data extraction, responses for alerts, and more. Be it Domino, Sametime, or Traveler operating on-prem. or in Hybrid and Cloud environments, it is vital to have an understanding of log data structure, what is (or isn't) logged and why, and how to search logs effectively. But aren't there ways to find your information without having to pipe everything into the log? Where does one's best practice end and another's begin? From this collision of opposing viewpoints and real-world stories, you'll take away knowledge and tools ready to deploy to various scenarios, products, and log types.
The Unbearable Lightness of Ephemeral ProcessingDataWorks Summit
Ephemeral clusters can be launched quickly (minutes), are pre-configured for a specific processing purpose, and can be brought down quickly as soon as their usefulness has expired. The ability to launch Ephemeral clusters for on-demand processing, quickly and efficiently, is transforming how organizations design, deploy and Manage applications. The velocity and elasticity of fast cluster deployment enables seamless peak-demand provisioning, enables cost optimization by leveraging significantly lower cloud spot pricing, and maximizes utilization of existing compute capacity. Additionally, being able to launch bespoke clusters for specific compute needs in a repeatable fashion and within a shared infrastructure provides flexibility for special purpose processing needs. Organizations can leverage Ephemeral Clusters for parallel compute intensive applications which require short bursts of power but are short lived. In this session we will explore how to design Ephemeral clusters, how to launch, modify and bring them down, as well as application design considerations to maximize Ephemeral clusters usability.

CIRCUIT 2015 - Akamai: Caching and BeyondICF CIRCUIT
Puru Hemnani - ICF Interactive
The session will go over the advantages of CDN in general and Akamai caching in particular. Akamai is one of the most commonly used caching option with AEM and several clients use it. There are several features and akamai tuning options such as Error caching, GeoRouting, ESI, Siteshield, WAF that can help developers and system engineers make the sites faster and secure. Configuring it correctly can also reduce the licensing requirements for AEM as well as infrastructure costs as you can serve much higher amount of traffic with less number of origin servers.

Refactoring Into Microservices 2016-11-08Derek Ashmore
This presentation was given to the Illinois Java Users Group on November 8, 2016.
Microservices architecture has become a widely popular topic. Most of us are aware of what microservices are and the problems they are meant to solve. Most microservice implementations were originally monolithic applications that grew too large and complex to support. However, refactoring into microservices is much easier said than done.
This presentation will provide you guidance for refactoring a monolithic application into microservices. I'll provide an overview of the entire process along with best practices and common mistakes along the way. This presentation is meant to be platform-generic; you can use these concepts on applications written in any programming language. This presentation is targeted for senior developers and tech leads.

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).

Removing Uninteresting Bytes in Software FuzzingAftab Hussain
Imagine a world where software fuzzing, the process of mutating bytes in test seeds to uncover hidden and erroneous program behaviors, becomes faster and more effective. A lot depends on the initial seeds, which can significantly dictate the trajectory of a fuzzing campaign, particularly in terms of how long it takes to uncover interesting behaviour in your code. We introduce DIAR, a technique designed to speedup fuzzing campaigns by pinpointing and eliminating those uninteresting bytes in the seeds. Picture this: instead of wasting valuable resources on meaningless mutations in large, bloated seeds, DIAR removes the unnecessary bytes, streamlining the entire process.
In this work, we equipped AFL, a popular fuzzer, with DIAR and examined two critical Linux libraries -- Libxml's xmllint, a tool for parsing xml documents, and Binutil's readelf, an essential debugging and security analysis command-line tool used to display detailed information about ELF (Executable and Linkable Format). Our preliminary results show that AFL+DIAR does not only discover new paths more quickly but also achieves higher coverage overall. This work thus showcases how starting with lean and optimized seeds can lead to faster, more comprehensive fuzzing campaigns -- and DIAR helps you find such seeds.

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.

Observability Concepts EVERY Developer Should Know -- DeveloperWeek Europe.pdfPaige Cruz
Monitoring and observability aren’t traditionally found in software curriculums and many of us cobble this knowledge together from whatever vendor or ecosystem we were first introduced to and whatever is a part of your current company’s observability stack.
While the dev and ops silo continues to crumble….many organizations still relegate monitoring & observability as the purview of ops, infra and SRE teams. This is a mistake - achieving a highly observable system requires collaboration up and down the stack.
I, a former op, would like to extend an invitation to all application developers to join the observability party will share these foundational concepts to build on:
