Top 7 wrong common beliefs about Enterprise API implementationOCTO Technology
The document discusses 7 common misconceptions about enterprise API implementation. It argues that an API strategy is not just about technical implementation or buying a product, but involves organizational, functional, and technical considerations. A successful API requires viewing it as a product and considering impacts across the entire organization.
During the last few years, companies started to embrace APIs.
In FRANCE, the API boom really started lately, in 2014.
Today every company wants to build its API.
We had been involved in several API projects : and the goal of this session is to share with you common pitfall that could compromise your API strategy.
Dipping Your Toes Into Cloud Native Application DevelopmentMatthew Farina
Presented at CloudDevelop 2016
Building cloud native applications in containers is a new hot topic. Netflix and Google are two prime examples that have been doing it successfully for some time. Some of the new exciting projects like Docker and Kubernetes are focused on cloud native applications in containers. There are supposed to be numerous benefits including the ability to scale applications out easily while doing development on small systems like laptops, the ability for the system to handle some operational problems, and the capability to safely deploy updates to production many times per day. But, what does this look like in practice and how do you start the move to cloud native and containerized applications? In this session we'll look at what makes up a cloud native application, how they work, and how you can start small. We'll look at applications from an architecture and process point of view along with how you can deploy them to AWS, Azure, or Google Cloud. You'll walk away ready to start development on a cloud native app.
FIWARE is a platform for building smart applications and solutions. It provides open-source generic enablers (GEs) that can be used as building blocks. The FIWARE platform aims to create an open ecosystem where entrepreneurs and technology providers can collaborate and build innovative IoT and smart city applications. It uses an open data model called NGSI that allows context data from different sources to be shared and queried in a common way. This facilitates interoperability between different systems and devices.
Microservices, Containers, Docker and a Cloud-Native Architecture in the Midd...Kai Wähner
Microservices are the next step after SOA: Services implement a limited set of functions. Services are developed, deployed and scaled independently. Continuous Integration and Continuous Delivery automate deployments. This way you get shorter time to results and increased flexibility. Containers improve these even more offering a very lightweight and flexible deployment option.
In the middleware world, you use concepts and tools such as an Enterprise Service Bus (ESB), Complex Event Processing (CEP), Business Process Management (BPM) or API Gateways. Many people still think about complex, heavyweight central brokers here. However, Microservices and containers are relevant not just for custom self-developed applications, but they are also a key requirement to make the middleware world more flexible, agile and automated.
This session discusses the requirements, best practices and challenges for creating a good Microservices architecture in the middleware world. A live demo with the open source PaaS framework CloudFoundry shows how technologies and frameworks such as Java, SOAP / REST Web Services, Jenkins and Docker are used to create an agile software development lifecycle to realize “Middleware Microservices”. It also discusses other modern cloud-native alternatives such as Kubernetes, Docker, Mesos, Mesosphere or Amazon ECS / AWS.
Continuum Analytics provides the Anaconda platform for data science. It includes popular Python data science packages like NumPy, SciPy, Pandas, Scikit-learn, and the Jupyter notebook. Continuum was founded by Travis Oliphant, creator of NumPy and Numba, to support the open source Python data science community and make it easier to do data analytics and visualization using Python. The Anaconda platform has over 2 million users and makes it simple to install and work with Python and related packages for data science and machine learning.
OSCON 2013 - The Hitchiker’s Guide to Open Source Cloud ComputingMark Hinkle
And while the Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy (HHGTTG) is a wholly remarkable book it doesn’t cover the nuances of cloud computing. Whether you want to build a public, private or hybrid cloud there are free and open source tools that can help provide you a complete solution or help augment your existing Amazon or other hosted cloud solution. That’s why you need the Hitchhiker’s Guide to (Open Source) Cloud Computing (HHGTCC) or at least to attend this talk understand the current state of open source cloud computing. This talk will cover infrastructure-as-a-service, platform-as-a-service and developments in big data and how to more effectively deploy and manage open source flavors of these technologies. Specific the guide will cover:
Infrastructure-as-a-Service – The Systems Cloud – Get a comparison of the open source cloud platforms including OpenStack, Apache CloudStack, Eucalyptus and OpenNebula
Platform-as-a-Service – The Developers Cloud – Learn about the tools that abstract the complexity for developers and used to build portable auto-scaling applications ton CloudFoundry, OpenShift, Stackato and more.
Data-as-a-Service – The Analytics Cloud – Want to figure out the who, what, where, when and why of big data? You’ll get an overview of open source NoSQL databases and technologies like MapReduce to help parallelize data mining tasks and crunch massive data sets in the cloud.
Network-as-a-Service – The Network Cloud – The final pillar for truly fungible network infrastructure is network virtualization. We will give an overview of software-defined networking including OpenStack Quantum, Nicira, open Vswitch and others.
Finally this talk will provide an overview of the tools that can help you really take advantage of the cloud. Do you want to auto-scale to serve millions of web pages and scale back down as demand fluctuates. Are you interested in automating the total lifecycle of cloud computing environments You’ll learn how to combine these tools into tool chains to provide continuous deployment systems that will help you become agile and spend more time improving your IT rather than simply maintaining it.
[Finally, for those of you that are Douglas Adams fans please accept the deepest apologies for bad analogies to the HHGTTG.]

1) Boba Network has developed L2TGeth, a modified version of Geth that allows Ethereum smart contracts to interact with external APIs and computing resources through a technique called Turing Hybrid Compute.
2) With Turing Hybrid Compute, smart contracts can call external APIs to retrieve random numbers, pricing data, and other information and incorporate the results into transactions. This overcomes limitations of the EVM like a lack of floating point numbers.
3) L2TGeth works by intercepting API calls from smart contracts, executing them off-chain, and submitting the transaction with the API response to Ethereum. Only the sequencer directly calls APIs, and the results are stored on-chain for
This document introduces zkSync, a technology that aims to provide infinite scalability for the Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM) through zero-knowledge proofs (zk). It does this by creating zkEVM, a virtual machine optimized for zero-knowledge proofs that combines EVM compatibility, a zk-friendly virtual machine called zkVM, and a recursive aggregation circuit to produce proofs. The document explains that zkEVM is optimized for compatibility rather than equivalence to the EVM in order to make the proving process more efficient.
Rollup-as-a-service and why it matters to the next-gen of dAppsTinaBregovi
This document discusses rollup-as-a-service and its benefits for building application-specific blockchains. It notes that building custom blockchains is challenging due to high upfront costs, long development times, and lack of ecosystem. Rollup-as-a-service aims to address this by offering customizable rollups that can be used to host applications with options like native tokens, customized parameters, and add-ons. Examples provided show it can scale to thousands of transactions per second without congesting base layers. A hackathon is announced seeking projects to build on their rollup development platform.
The document summarizes a workshop on AltLayer, an application-tailored Layer 2 scaling solution. It describes issues with current general purpose Layer 1 and Layer 2 networks, and introduces AltLayer's approach of launching disposable "flash layers" optimized for specific applications. Examples are provided of AltLayer hosting a successful NFT minting event and an online PvP game without transaction fees spikes. Upcoming events like a hackathon are also advertised.
This document describes an upcoming 4-week hackathon organized by Encode to train web3 developers. The hackathon will focus on building projects using layer 2 scaling solutions like AltLayer, Boba Network, zkSync, and Metis. Participants can work individually or in teams, and there will be technical workshops and mentorship provided. Several sponsors are providing prize money for different challenges around building applications on their respective layer 2 platforms. The deadline to submit projects is November 13th, and submissions should include code, a demo video, and optional presentation materials.
This document discusses cross-chain communication between StarkNet and Ethereum. It provides an overview of how messaging works currently from L2 to L1 by submitting transactions to StarkNet that initialize syscalls to send messages to Ethereum contracts. It also discusses how messaging could work from L1 to L2 by having Ethereum contracts initiate messages that get handled by corresponding functions on StarkNet contracts. The document explains that this allows blockchains to communicate natively with mathematical proof and without trust assumptions, and suggests this could be used to design custom bridging protocols and provide tight integration between L1 and L2.
Briq allows users to build NFTs from modular "briq" tokens stored on StarkNet. Briq NFTs combine briq tokens to create new collections. Building on StarkNet is advantageous because it is cheaper and faster than other networks. The briq protocol stores briq tokens on an NFT contract and allows owners to assemble and disassemble their briqs. Leveraging account abstraction, briqs also enable novel applications like matryoshka NFTs. Briq aims to empower users to build and own their own NFT creations.
This document discusses NFTs on StarkNet, including what NFTs are, how they differ from copying digital files, the author's experience with NFTs since 2017, NFT economics, marketplaces, genres, use cases, considerations around plagiarism and scalability, and how StarkNet addresses scalability issues. It provides a demo NFT collection on StarkNet and helpful links for building NFT contracts on StarkNet.
StarkNet is a permissionless ZK-Rollup layer 2 scaling solution for Ethereum that enables massive scalability without compromising security. It uses Cairo, a new programming language with some quirks compared to Solidity like using mappings instead of arrays and special assertions instead of boolean expressions. A basic dApp could include stake contracts on both StarkNet (L2) and Ethereum (L1) along with functions for depositing, withdrawing, and transferring fees between layers using StarkNet's ability to pass messages between L1 and L2 contracts. The dApp contracts would need to be compiled and deployed to both StarkNet and Ethereum.
This document provides an overview of how to integrate a dApp with a StarkNet wallet using the get-starknet library. It discusses connecting a dApp to a wallet, calling smart contracts, invoking transactions from the dApp, watching assets, and signing messages. The get-starknet library allows dApps to seamlessly connect to any StarkNet wallet and discover available wallets. It also provides the same APIs as directly accessing the wallet through window.starknet.
This document describes the Encode StarkNet Autumn Hackathon. The hackathon challenges participants to build a blockchain project on StarkNet over 4 weeks. Participants can work individually or form teams, and will receive support from Encode Club mentors and StarkWare. The top 10 projects will pitch at the finale on November 17th for a chance to win prizes up to $7,000. Resources on StarkNet and Cairo will be provided, along with technical workshops, to help participants complete their projects.
This document summarizes the Harmony Marketplace SDK, which provides interfaces for interacting with smart contracts on Harmony including HRC20, HRC721, and HRC1155 standards.

Essentials of Automations: Exploring Attributes & Automation ParametersSafe Software
Building automations in FME Flow can save time, money, and help businesses scale by eliminating data silos and providing data to stakeholders in real-time. One essential component to orchestrating complex automations is the use of attributes & automation parameters (both formerly known as “keys”). In fact, it’s unlikely you’ll ever build an Automation without using these components, but what exactly are they?
Attributes & automation parameters enable the automation author to pass data values from one automation component to the next. During this webinar, our FME Flow Specialists will cover leveraging the three types of these output attributes & parameters in FME Flow: Event, Custom, and Automation. As a bonus, they’ll also be making use of the Split-Merge Block functionality.
You’ll leave this webinar with a better understanding of how to maximize the potential of automations by making use of attributes & automation parameters, with the ultimate goal of setting your enterprise integration workflows up on autopilot.

In this keynote, ScyllaDB co-founder and CTO Avi Kivity explains the reason for this shift, provides a look at the implementation and roadmap, and shares how this shift benefits ScyllaDB users.
From Natural Language to Structured Solr Queries using LLMsSease
This talk draws on experimentation to enable AI applications with Solr. One important use case is to use AI for better accessibility and discoverability of the data: while User eXperience techniques, lexical search improvements, and data harmonization can take organizations to a good level of accessibility, a structural (or “cognitive” gap) remains between the data user needs and the data producer constraints.
That is where AI – and most importantly, Natural Language Processing and Large Language Model techniques – could make a difference. This natural language, conversational engine could facilitate access and usage of the data leveraging the semantics of any data source.
The objective of the presentation is to propose a technical approach and a way forward to achieve this goal.
The key concept is to enable users to express their search queries in natural language, which the LLM then enriches, interprets, and translates into structured queries based on the Solr index’s metadata.
This approach leverages the LLM’s ability to understand the nuances of natural language and the structure of documents within Apache Solr.
The LLM acts as an intermediary agent, offering a transparent experience to users automatically and potentially uncovering relevant documents that conventional search methods might overlook. The presentation will include the results of this experimental work, lessons learned, best practices, and the scope of future work that should improve the approach and make it production-ready.
Conversational agents, or chatbots, are increasingly used to access all sorts of services using natural language. While open-domain chatbots - like ChatGPT - can converse on any topic, task-oriented chatbots - the focus of this paper - are designed for specific tasks, like booking a flight, obtaining customer support, or setting an appointment. Like any other software, task-oriented chatbots need to be properly tested, usually by defining and executing test scenarios (i.e., sequences of user-chatbot interactions). However, there is currently a lack of methods to quantify the completeness and strength of such test scenarios, which can lead to low-quality tests, and hence to buggy chatbots.
To fill this gap, we propose adapting mutation testing (MuT) for task-oriented chatbots. To this end, we introduce a set of mutation operators that emulate faults in chatbot designs, an architecture that enables MuT on chatbots built using heterogeneous technologies, and a practical realisation as an Eclipse plugin. Moreover, we evaluate the applicability, effectiveness and efficiency of our approach on open-source chatbots, with promising results.
Northern Engraving | Nameplate Manufacturing Process - 2024Northern Engraving
Manufacturing custom quality metal nameplates and badges involves several standard operations. Processes include sheet prep, lithography, screening, coating, punch press and inspection. All decoration is completed in the flat sheet with adhesive and tooling operations following. The possibilities for creating unique durable nameplates are endless. How will you create your brand identity? We can help!
In the realm of cybersecurity, offensive security practices act as a critical shield. By simulating real-world attacks in a controlled environment, these techniques expose vulnerabilities before malicious actors can exploit them. This proactive approach allows manufacturers to identify and fix weaknesses, significantly enhancing system security.
This presentation delves into the development of a system designed to mimic Galileo's Open Service signal using software-defined radio (SDR) technology. We'll begin with a foundational overview of both Global Navigation Satellite Systems (GNSS) and the intricacies of digital signal processing.
The presentation culminates in a live demonstration. We'll showcase the manipulation of Galileo's Open Service pilot signal, simulating an attack on various software and hardware systems. This practical demonstration serves to highlight the potential consequences of unaddressed vulnerabilities, emphasizing the importance of offensive security practices in safeguarding critical infrastructure.
"NATO Hackathon Winner: AI-Powered Drug Search", Taras KlobaFwdays
This is a session that details how PostgreSQL's features and Azure AI Services can be effectively used to significantly enhance the search functionality in any application.

If we think about the first phase of the commercial web, or web 1.0, think back to the period from the early 90s to roughly the mid 2000’s dominated by open protocols like http for content and smtp for email. The products and services offered in this phase were primarily digital translations of their analogue equivalent like newspapers, magazines, and photos and primarily static in nature. You can think of this phase the ‘read’ phase of the information superhighway.
Then from the mid 2000s to now, the second phase of the web, Web2, was driven by advancements in cloud computing, mobile tech and the rise of social media to facilitate this shift from static desktop content to cloud and mobile based interactive experiences driven by user generated content. So in this more participatory internet with more ‘read/write’ capabilities, the user and their data became the product stored and sold by a handful of large centralized organisations where participants in a network did not really own any part of that network (for example a driver in the uber network ).
Which brings us to Web3 and the promise of a dynamic and decentralized internet where users own their data and get a share of the value created in a network. Some of the key tenets of Web 3 include:
‘Open’ in that they are built from open source software built by an open and accessible community of developers and executed in full view of the world.
‘Trustless’ in that the network itself allows participants to interact publicly or privately without a trusted third party.
‘Permissionless’ in that anyone, both users and suppliers,can participate without authorisation from a governing body.
‘Composable’ - LEGO building blocks of open source code which can be combined to build new applications. With open source, it also means that any problems with the code only need to be solved once so development cycles in web3 can be blazing fast.
Chris Dixon said it extremely well by saying that “think of composability to software as what compound interest is to finance”
So broadly speaking, we think of web3 as the web owned by users and builders which is facilitated by this concept of a token and the underlying token economy to build and deliver the network value to the community of users and builders.
So we at Covalent use this thought exercise to picture what 2025 looks like (and given the torrid pace of innovation in this space, it could even be sooner)
We envision a thriving multi-chain ecosystem (with Ethereum at the lead of course :) powering thousands of dapps with most users unaware that blockchain is under the hood. And we’ll see those apps in every industry imaginable from finance, to gaming, ard, and government.
So in this future, we can see that just an enormous amount of data is and will be created. This data includes NFT data.
The challenge for developers - well let me ask you, what are some of the data challenges that you run into:
Accessibility:
Invest resources for custom queries
Wait for data to be indexed
Paying a lot for hosted service or data access
Scalability
Web3 data is messy so having a scalable solution to sort, filter, distill out the signal from the noise
Limitations with making JSON-RPC calls - we firmly believe solutions needs to go above and beyond the JSON-RPC layer to scale.
Having your DApp scale with increased costs
With using hosted node infrastructure and requiring historical data provided by full archive nodes, already hitting 10TB of data
Likely pay more for data
Interoperability
having to implement different solutions to access data from different protocols
especially if they are non-EVM protocols.
Ourselves saw this by our recent integration with Solana and the challenges it brought up to serve Solana data through our existing API framework
Data challenges = friction + barriers for data -> hinder development of applications.
Our vision of a solution to these Web3 data challenges is:
Extra
*******
So these data challenges all inevitably create friction and barriers for data which hinders mainstream adoption. Data must be free. Going above and beyond the JSON-RPC layer.
So we summarize the Web3 data challenges for consumers into 3 key categories:
Accessibility - challenges including needing to invest resources in developing custom queries, or having to wait for data to be indexed, or having to pay a lot for accessScalability - With protocols including Ethereum implementing tech like sharding and rollups to increase throughput or transactions per second, it just means there is a ton more data available and there are challenges with devs having the tools to access this explosion in data. Making JSON-RPC calls has its limits. Infrastructure providers running full archive nodes are hitting nearly 10 TB of data and will just pass off those costs to devs using their tools.
Interoperability -having to implement different solutions to access data from different protocols especially if they are non-EVM protocols. We ourselves saw this by our recent integration with Solana.

The Covalent API is a unified API which brings visibility to billions of blockchain data points. Our motto is - One Unified API, One billion possibilities. So with just a single API, you can fetch granular and historical blockchain data across multiple networks with no code or delays. We index entire blockchains so that ALL the data is immediately available to consume.

More accessible data attracts more devs

*******
Which leads us to the question of where is Covalent headed? And the answer we believe is naturally progressive decentralization. The reason why this is a natural step from our perspective is because from a business model, we need to ask ourself if our current solution as a centralized indexing query and storage service scalable? Well we could throw up a pay wall and price data access accordingly to our costs but this would clearly have an effect on consumption and we believe it would hinder growth and development in a still a relatively nascent space. Our approach thus far has been to charge blockchains for indexing and serving up organized data so that ecosystems of developers may benefit from a free product that they can use for their experiments in Web3.
By decentralizing and bringing in our blockchain partners to be a part of the indexing, query and storage service, we create a flywheel effect where more accessible data attracts more developers which in turn creates greater demand for data. And competing infrastructure providers are incentivized to keep the network costs for data low. This is how we see ourselves scaling as a core and critical piece of Web3 data infrastructure.
And at Covalent, we are well on our way towards decentralization with our first critical component being open sourced which is the block specimen spec which sets a unified, canonical data model (CDM) for all blockchain data, regardless of the source. We have a detailed blog post on this if interested.

This inherently has the flywheel effect where more accessible data attracts more developers which in turn creates greater demand for data. All participants in the network benefit from this flywheel effect.
