Sander Mangel discusses implementing a headless architecture for Magento using a middleware approach. The middleware would normalize and combine data from various sources and offer stable APIs for clients like Magento's frontend and backend. It would leverage various PHP libraries and frameworks like Slim, Monolog, and Illuminate/Database to build the middleware and expose data through REST APIs. The middleware is intended to offload tasks from Magento to keep it lightweight while centralizing data storage and access through the middleware APIs.
Following the classical software architecture patterns we tend to design large monolith of software applications.
These monoliths are typically quite difficult to scale as they often require powerful machines, making the option to scale out very expensive.
In most cases these monoliths of software are designed to run on a single machine only, hence scaling out is complicated or even impossible without refactoring large portions of the application.
Therefore a new design pattern called microservices arose.
The pattern of microservices keeps the need of a clustered server setup in mind and helps to keep the application very modular.
This allows to simplify a scale out of your application and even allows to scale the bottlenecks of your application only and hence reducing the total cost for a scale out approach.
In this talk I will introduce the concept of microservices, how they are defined and how to design an application with them.
Furthermore I will show how to scale the application properly and why this is only possible due to the use of microservices.
Also we will have a look at Node.js and why it is a perfect, though not the only, fit to this design strategy.
However scaling is not the only purpose of microservices, they also increase the flexibility and maintainability of applications, this will also be discussed in the talk.

Webinar: Creating data-centric microservices
In this webinar we will focus on Foxx, the microservice framework included in ArangoDB.
Foxx is used to extend the API of ArangoDB with just a couple of lines in JS code. It allows you to move all the logic regarding your data directly into the database which yields the following benefits:
* increased performance all logic is operated as close to the data as possible, no unnecessary data transfer.
* All database details are no longer part of your application.
* You can define fine grained security for your whole dataset.
This webinar is meant as an introduction to the Foxx framework and how to use it.
ArangoDB is an open source, multi-model NoSQL database that is written in C++ and embeds Google's V8 engine to implement the higher levels of its functionality in JavaScript. Recently we decided to switch from C++03 to C++11 for the database kernel. In this talk I will first give a short overview of the software architecture of ArangoDB and proceed to tell you about our practical experiences with the switch to C++11. I will explain which of the parts of the "new" standard have been more important and which have been less useful, and I will report about the difficulties we encountered.

OS for AI: Elastic Microservices & the Next Gen of MLNordic APIs
AI has been a hot topic lately, with advances being made constantly in what is possible, there has not been as much discussion of the infrastructure and scaling challenges that come with it. How do you support dozens of different languages and frameworks, and make them interoperate invisibly? How do you scale to run abstract code from thousands of different developers, simultaneously and elastically, while maintaining less than 15ms of overhead?
At Algorithmia, we’ve built, deployed, and scaled thousands of algorithms and machine learning models, using every kind of framework (from scikit-learn to tensorflow). We’ve seen many of the challenges faced in this area, and in this talk I’ll share some insights into the problems you’re likely to face, and how to approach solving them.
In brief, we’ll examine the need for, and implementations of, a complete “Operating System for AI” – a common interface for different algorithms to be used and combined, and a general architecture for serverless machine learning which is discoverable, versioned, scalable and sharable.
Basic performance application optimization techniques that can be applied to any application, from web to desktop or mobile, but with focus on php/mysql stack. How to identify bottlenecks and resolve them and what strategies to choose to avoid them upfront.

Building and deploying LLM applications with Apache AirflowKaxil Naik
Behind the growing interest in Generate AI and LLM-based enterprise applications lies an expanded set of requirements for data integrations and ML orchestration. Enterprises want to use proprietary data to power LLM-based applications that create new business value, but they face challenges in moving beyond experimentation. The pipelines that power these models need to run reliably at scale, bringing together data from many sources and reacting continuously to changing conditions.
This talk focuses on the design patterns for using Apache Airflow to support LLM applications created using private enterprise data. We’ll go through a real-world example of what this looks like, as well as a proposal to improve Airflow and to add additional Airflow Providers to make it easier to interact with LLMs such as the ones from OpenAI (such as GPT4) and the ones on HuggingFace, while working with both structured and unstructured data.
In short, this shows how these Airflow patterns enable reliable, traceable, and scalable LLM applications within the enterprise.

Wireless communication involves the transmission of information over a distance without the help of wires, cables or any other forms of electrical conductors.
Wireless communication is a broad term that incorporates all procedures and forms of connecting and communicating between two or more devices using a wireless signal through wireless communication technologies and devices.
Features of Wireless Communication
The evolution of wireless technology has brought many advancements with its effective features.
The transmitted distance can be anywhere between a few meters (for example, a television's remote control) and thousands of kilometers (for example, radio communication).
Wireless communication can be used for cellular telephony, wireless access to the internet, wireless home networking, and so on.

# Internet Security: Safeguarding Your Digital World
In the contemporary digital age, the internet is a cornerstone of our daily lives. It connects us to vast amounts of information, provides platforms for communication, enables commerce, and offers endless entertainment. However, with these conveniences come significant security challenges. Internet security is essential to protect our digital identities, sensitive data, and overall online experience. This comprehensive guide explores the multifaceted world of internet security, providing insights into its importance, common threats, and effective strategies to safeguard your digital world.
## Understanding Internet Security
Internet security encompasses the measures and protocols used to protect information, devices, and networks from unauthorized access, attacks, and damage. It involves a wide range of practices designed to safeguard data confidentiality, integrity, and availability. Effective internet security is crucial for individuals, businesses, and governments alike, as cyber threats continue to evolve in complexity and scale.
### Key Components of Internet Security
1. **Confidentiality**: Ensuring that information is accessible only to those authorized to access it.
2. **Integrity**: Protecting information from being altered or tampered with by unauthorized parties.
3. **Availability**: Ensuring that authorized users have reliable access to information and resources when needed.
## Common Internet Security Threats
Cyber threats are numerous and constantly evolving. Understanding these threats is the first step in protecting against them. Some of the most common internet security threats include:
### Malware
Malware, or malicious software, is designed to harm, exploit, or otherwise compromise a device, network, or service. Common types of malware include:
- **Viruses**: Programs that attach themselves to legitimate software and replicate, spreading to other programs and files.
- **Worms**: Standalone malware that replicates itself to spread to other computers.
- **Trojan Horses**: Malicious software disguised as legitimate software.
- **Ransomware**: Malware that encrypts a user's files and demands a ransom for the decryption key.
- **Spyware**: Software that secretly monitors and collects user information.
### Phishing
Phishing is a social engineering attack that aims to steal sensitive information such as usernames, passwords, and credit card details. Attackers often masquerade as trusted entities in email or other communication channels, tricking victims into providing their information.
### Man-in-the-Middle (MitM) Attacks
MitM attacks occur when an attacker intercepts and potentially alters communication between two parties without their knowledge. This can lead to the unauthorized acquisition of sensitive information.
### Denial-of-Service (DoS) and Distributed Denial-of-Service (DDoS) Attacks

5. What is headless architecture
Source: https://pantheon.io/blog/headless-websites-whats-big-deal-decoupled-architecture
6. What is headless architecture
"Headless architecture means an application offering APIs that abstract away business logic
for a multitude of clients to consistently and repeatedly execute the same tasks."
10. ● Magento will be a client & provide data
● Implement a basic data warehouse
● Which is fed by, and queried by various
services separated by domains
● Isolate data & business logic per domain
So we take a different approach
13. Leverage middleware for a stable environment
● Normalize & combine data
● Offer stable APIs for clients
● Insulate from future changes
storage
source consumer server
18. ● There is a solution for everything
already out there
● Use popular libraries, preferably
adhering to a PSR protocol
● Don't overcomplicate dependency
injection
● Think carefully about what you need and
spend time finding the best option
Build on standardised libraries

● monolog - gives insight in what the
service does for monitoring and
debugging
● cache/… - stores certain API calls,
temporary data
● guzzle - offers a way to consume APIs
over http
● illuminate/database - Laravel ORM
(personal preference)
● Insert-on-duplicate.... - not a default
option in illuminate/database but a
must for me
● symfony/console - for cronjobs and
commandline tasks
● league/oauth1-client - offers built in

20. ● SlimPHP project as basis
● One module in src some basic setup
files needed by SlimPHP
● Keep it simple and self-contained
Structure
23. ● SQL based / relational
● Offer good performance up to 1TB data
● Easy to integrate
● Be the best solution for the upcoming
year
Choice of database
26. ● Read only
● Offer sorting, filtering, and a host of
other query options
● Be very fast (d'oh)
● Be standardised & easily scalable
Making data available for clients
Source: https://www.archaeological.org/fieldwork/afob/10374#
27. Search
Leveraging the built in REST api of
Elastic we had a ready to go layer.
We decided to leave that 'as is' and
deal with changes in data structure or
due to a version upgrade as they come
Each search result has, next to the
record data, a reference to a UID from
the SQL database to retrieve the full
data set.
28. Datasets
● As stated the API server is read
only
● For each dataset (a table in a
database) there is one endpoint
● Simple filter methods on one or
more fields
● Each returned dataset has
reference UIDs to other records
that are tied to this item.
So for customers this can be
orders or addresses
● Multiple API calls over large or
joined datasets
30. ● By offloading tasks from Magento we
keep it fast and lightweight
● Storing data in a central place and
making it available via REST apis makes
for easy integration
● Headless can start by adding some of
those APIs to the existing back- or
frontend
● Using lightweight php frameworks with
limited features makes for easy to
develop and fast applications
