Puppet Camp Silicon Valley 2015: How TubeMogul reached 10,000 Puppet Deployme...Nicolas Brousse
TubeMogul grew from few servers to over two thousands servers and handling over one trillion http requests a month, processed in less than 50ms each. To keep up with the fast growth, the SRE team had to implement an efficient Continuous Delivery infrastructure that allowed to do over 10,000 puppet deployment and 8,500 application deployment in 2014. In this presentation, we will cover the nuts and bolts of the TubeMogul operations engineering team and how they over come challenges.
Google Cloud Computing compares GCE, GAE and GKESimon Su
Google Cloud Computing compares GCE, GKE and GAE. GCE provides raw compute, storage and networking resources and requires more management overhead. GAE focuses on application logic and requires less management. GKE offers managed Kubernetes infrastructure and services. Each option has different strengths for workloads like microservices, containerized services, or large-scale applications requiring quick scaling. Monitoring and management features like Stackdriver are also compared.

Adobe Advertising Cloud: The Reality of Cloud Bursting with OpenStackNicolas Brousse
After successfully moving a large workload from a Public Cloud to an OpenStack Private Cloud, the former TubeMogul Operations Engineering team tackled its next important step toward Cloud Bursting.
While experiencing hyper-growth on the Adobe Advertising Cloud, the team had to figure out a simple way to quickly provision new compute resources. Our latency critical workload need our core private resources while some workload can safely leverage public cloud. Cloud Bursting helped to ensure rapid support of the business and provide a more flexible capacity planning strategy. Being able to burst some workload back to the Public Cloud allowed the team to leverage the best of public and private cloud.
In this presentation, we will detail how the team dealt with the network complexity between clouds infrastructure, the cost effectiveness of cloud bursting, the impact on performance, and the hard reality of multi-cloud environments.

Session: A Reference Architecture for Running Modern APIs with NGINX Unit and...NGINX, Inc.
Building and deploying cloud native APIs is a complex operation, and can require a multitude of components. In this workshop we focus on the fundamentals of deploying the runtime API code and publishing the API through an API gateway. To achieve this we use NGINX Unit as a polyglot application server and NGINX web server as an API gateway. With this combination we deliver a solution lightweight enough for dev and strong enough for production.
You will learn how to use NGINX Unit to run one or more apps and APIs in a variety of languages, including seamlessly deploying new versions. You will then see the best practices for how to configure NGINX to perform the common API gateway functions of request routing, rate limiting, and authentication for multiple APIs. We will also touch on advanced use cases such as HTTP method enforcement, and JSON validation.
No previous experience of NGINX or NGINX Unit is required, but a basic knowledge of HTTP and JSON/REST APIs is valuable.
Capacity planning is a difficult challenge faced by most companies. If you have too few machines, you will not have enough compute resources available to deal with heavy loads. On the other hand, if you have too many machines, you are wasting money. This is why companies have started investing in automatically scaling services and infrastructure to minimize the amount of wasted money and resources.
In this talk, Nathan will describe how Yelp is using PaaSTA, a PaaS built on top of open source tools including Docker, Mesos, Marathon, and Chronos, to automatically and gracefully scale services and the underlying cluster. He will go into detail about how this functionality was implemented and the design designs that were made while architecting the system. He will also provide a brief comparison of how this approach differs from existing solutions.

Refining Your API Design - Architecture and Modeling Learning EventLaunchAny
APIs are a conversation that involves everyone, from developers to end-users and even machine-to-machine. Yet, we can miss the mark when designing an API that delivers on the desired outcomes of the end user. In this talk, James discusses the factors that ensure an API delivers value to the end user. He will explore some techniques on refining your API design before it goes live. He will also explore the challenges of microservices and why they may not be what you think they are. Along the way, we will discuss techniques that can accelerate the API design and delivery process.
Event-based APIs are becoming more popular, enabling developers to craft new integrations and solutions that go beyond the original design of an API. Yet, there remains a challenge: how can teams design thoughtful event-based APIs that are long-lasting, evolvable, and discoverable? This talk will dive into the design practices of event-based APIs, including tips for determining which protocol(s) you should select, design patterns we should apply, and anti-patterns should we avoid. We will also look at how AI and tools such as ChatGPT are starting to shape the next generation of APIs.
Delivered on May 10, 2023 for the EDA Summit
Event-based API Patterns and Practices - AsyncAPI Online ConferenceLaunchAny
This document discusses API design patterns for event-based APIs. It begins with an introduction to the author and overview of popular API styles. It then covers several options for asynchronous API design like webhooks, server-sent events, websockets, and streaming protocols. The remainder discusses specific patterns for event payload design including thin notifications, hypermedia links, schema evolution, and separating internal and external events. It emphasizes putting careful design into event formats as they form a contract like an API.
GlueCon 2019: Beyond REST - Moving to Event-Based APIs and StreamingLaunchAny
For more than a decade, web APIs have replaced the previous generation of web services. Throughout this period of growth, most APIs have been restricted to request-response over HTTP. We are now seeing a move back to eventing with the popularity of webhooks. Additionally, streaming is becoming another option for connecting services, apps, and devices. In this talk, we will look at the opportunities that event-based APIs and streaming offer and how our software architecture is evolving to handle these new styles of API interaction.

Applying Domain-Driven Design to APIs and Microservices - Austin API MeetupLaunchAny
This document discusses applying domain-driven design principles to API and microservices architecture. It recommends using an outside-in design approach where the data model is separate from the object model and resource model. Domain-driven design helps identify context boundaries, and microservices require renewed focus on system and API design. Modeling the domain entities, relations, states and events defines the resources exposed by each API. This modular design increases composability and the ability to replace services over time.

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.

High performance Serverless Java on AWS- GoTo Amsterdam 2024Vadym Kazulkin
Java is for many years one of the most popular programming languages, but it used to have hard times in the Serverless community. Java is known for its high cold start times and high memory footprint, comparing to other programming languages like Node.js and Python. In this talk I'll look at the general best practices and techniques we can use to decrease memory consumption, cold start times for Java Serverless development on AWS including GraalVM (Native Image) and AWS own offering SnapStart based on Firecracker microVM snapshot and restore and CRaC (Coordinated Restore at Checkpoint) runtime hooks. I'll also provide a lot of benchmarking on Lambda functions trying out various deployment package sizes, Lambda memory settings, Java compilation options and HTTP (a)synchronous clients and measure their impact on cold and warm start times.

zkStudyClub - LatticeFold: A Lattice-based Folding Scheme and its Application...Alex Pruden
Folding is a recent technique for building efficient recursive SNARKs. Several elegant folding protocols have been proposed, such as Nova, Supernova, Hypernova, Protostar, and others. However, all of them rely on an additively homomorphic commitment scheme based on discrete log, and are therefore not post-quantum secure. In this work we present LatticeFold, the first lattice-based folding protocol based on the Module SIS problem. This folding protocol naturally leads to an efficient recursive lattice-based SNARK and an efficient PCD scheme. LatticeFold supports folding low-degree relations, such as R1CS, as well as high-degree relations, such as CCS. The key challenge is to construct a secure folding protocol that works with the Ajtai commitment scheme. The difficulty, is ensuring that extracted witnesses are low norm through many rounds of folding. We present a novel technique using the sumcheck protocol to ensure that extracted witnesses are always low norm no matter how many rounds of folding are used. Our evaluation of the final proof system suggests that it is as performant as Hypernova, while providing post-quantum security.

[OReilly Superstream] Occupy the Space: A grassroots guide to engineering (an...Jason Yip
The typical problem in product engineering is not bad strategy, so much as “no strategy”. This leads to confusion, lack of motivation, and incoherent action. The next time you look for a strategy and find an empty space, instead of waiting for it to be filled, I will show you how to fill it in yourself. If you’re wrong, it forces a correction. If you’re right, it helps create focus. I’ll share how I’ve approached this in the past, both what works and lessons for what didn’t work so well.
