Back in 2015, Square and Google collaborated to launch gRPC, an open source RPC framework backed by protocol buffers and HTTP/2, based on real-world experiences operating microservices at scale. If you build microservices, you will be interested in gRPC.
This webcast covers:
- a technical overview of gRPC
- use cases and applicability in your stack
- a deep dive into the practicalities of operationalizing gRPC
During my journey in micro-services, it became apparent that the REST standard has been widely used in communication between micro-services for a long time. But recently the gRPC started to invade its territory. It turns out that there are some good reasons for this. In this lecture, I will present an introduction to gRCP, its main characteristics and the reasons why companies like Google, Netflix, and Docker are adopting this flexible and performative medium of communication.

Presentation at NetPonto community: "We’re going to discuss gRPC, Google’s open-source RPC framework. I’ll dive a bit into the history of RPC as a protocol, and what its historical use has been. I’ll also highlight some benefits to adopt gRPC and how its possible to swap out parts of gRPC and still take advantage of gRPC’s benefits. Finally I’ll answer the question that has been on many lips since gRPC was announced — what does this mean for REST?"
gRPC can help minimize the barrier of cross-system communication by providing language-agnostic API definitions, backward and forward compatible versioning with protocol buffers, and pluggable load balancing and tracing. You will see how to quickly get up and running with the gRPC framework using Node.js from creating a protocol definition, creating meaningful health checks, and securing the endpoint. Additionally, this session will go over best practices and how to take full advantage of what gRPC has to offer.

A presentation of what are JavaScript Promises, what problems they solve and how to use them. Dissects some Bluebird features, the most complete Promise library available for NodeJS and browser.
This year ECMA International will be ratifying the biggest update to the JavaScript language in its history. In this talk we'll look at key features already appearing in browsers as well as those coming in the near future. We'll also explore how you can begin leveraging the power of ES6 across all browsers today. If you haven't looked at JavaScript recently, you soon realize that a bigger, better world awaits.

USENIX LISA15: How TubeMogul Handles over One Trillion HTTP Requests a MonthNicolas 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 overcome challenges.
What We Learned From Building a Modern Messaging and Streaming System for CloudStreamNative
Abstract: Ten years ago, the Linkedin team built Kafka a streaming system around the concept of “log” by taking advantage of inexpensive storage disks. Since then the infrastructure has evolved from virtual machines to containers and cloud, the storage and networking performance and cost has dramatically improved as well. Over this same decade, it became essential for enterprises to react in real-time to the ever increasing data volume, velocity and variety. However as organizations moved to a streaming-first, event-driven infrastructure, they quickly found themselves drowning in the complexity of how to actually operationalize Kafka and other similar messaging systems at scale. Pulsar was designed with the mission to build a unified messaging and streaming platform to unify historical and real-time data, by leveraging the modern cloud-native infrastructure with a focus on simplifying developer API and operations.
In this talk, we will discuss what we have learned from building Pulsar for container and cloud.
About the webinar
The use of an API gateway and the move to microservices are two of the most important trends in application development. But are they similar, or different; complementary, or contradictory? In this webinar, we discuss the advantages of an API gateway, the advantages of microservices development, and how and when they can work together.
The NGINX Microservices Reference Architecture (MRA) uses three different network architectures, with service mesh as a fourth. We describe how an API gateway relates to each of these network architectures and how to reduce rework if your application needs to evolve from one architecture to another.
Speakers:
Charles Pretzer, Technical Architect, NGINX, Inc.
Floyd Smith, Director of Content Marketing, NGINX, Inc.

When it comes to cross-microservice communication, we must build an API, and the most significant criterion is that they all agree on the same type of exchange data, data format, and error format. We may now use REST/SOAP/Binary format for this, but we must also consider the endpoints, which appears to be a little tricky.
Your life will be much easier now that we can quickly connect services and share data via gRPC very easily. So, in this session, we will learn about gRPC and then I will demonstrate Akka gRPC and its features live.

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).

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.

Neuro-symbolic is not enough, we need neuro-*semantic*Frank van Harmelen
Neuro-symbolic (NeSy) AI is on the rise. However, simply machine learning on just any symbolic structure is not sufficient to really harvest the gains of NeSy. These will only be gained when the symbolic structures have an actual semantics. I give an operational definition of semantics as “predictable inference”.
All of this illustrated with link prediction over knowledge graphs, but the argument is general.

Have the message received by managers and peers along with a test email for review
But there’s more:
In a second workflow supporting the same use case, you’ll see:
Your campaign sent to target colleagues for approval
If the “Approve” button is clicked, a Jira/Zendesk ticket is created for the marketing design team
But—if the “Reject” button is pushed, colleagues will be alerted via Slack message
