This talk exposes the reasons what Servo is and why it is necessary, its current status, future plans and details on the Rust programming language, which has a symbiotic relationship with Servo.
A talk by Eric Meyer presented at W3C TPAC 2021, describing the history and challenges of the implementation model for browsers, and describing a supplimentary vision.
WebAssembly became 4th official language on the Web (following HTML, CSS and JavaScript) and was initially meant to run in the browser in order to improve client side rendering. It quickly turned out that WebAssembly on the server is also a thing and can revolutionise the way we think of web applications. Fastly and Cloudflare adopted WebAssembly and allow you to run custom code at the edge. That opens up completely new possibilities - authentication, personalised content rendering, A/B testing - you name it. Everything as close to end users as possible.

Why You Should be Using Multi-stage Docker Builds in 2019Codefresh
Watch the webinar at https://codefresh.io/events/multi-stage-docker-builds/ !
Docker multi-stage builds were announced 2 years ago, but sadly not all developers are using them.
Using multi-stage builds can result in a much more secure and smaller Docker image. In some cases, you can take a Docker image from 700MB to 20MB, which makes a big difference in the context of CI/CD. In this webinar, we will see how to use multi-stage Docker builds and the best practices around them.

Building a Modern JavaScript Framework by James Milnerdylanks
Check out the slides from SitePen developer James Milner's presentation, "Building a Modern JavaScript Framework," presented at the the Esri Developer Summit Europe on October 24, 2018.
.NET Fest 2018. Martin Ullrich. MSBuild: Understand and Customize Your .NET B...NETFest
MSBuild is the powerful build system used in .NET. With .NET Core, it is now widely used cross-platform and has been open sourced. Since MSBuild has been powering .NET Core builds since 2017, it has unlocked remarkable possibilities that were not possible with project.json. It has a programming language of its own. This session introduces to this programming language, explains common build customization techniques, helps avoid pitfalls when setting up your custom build logic and explores strategies to investigate build errors.
This is some kind of report for implementation and experimentation about "Hardware Accelerated WebKitGTK+ for the embedded device" which is running on the Raspberry Pi device in real. Authored by Changseok Oh, who is working in the Collabora from 2013.
In this session I will show you how modern browsers and sites can coordinate the dance of loading & rendering to deliver a web that is fast where it matters to users. The biggest leaps in browser improvements, including Firefox Quantum, focused on areas like scheduling, breaking up and parallelizing work. Discover where you can benefit from fine control and what aspects of performance you can leave to the browser. Applying this knowledge will help you build fluid, native-like experiences that can handle the growing complexity of the web.
Servo is a new prototype web browser layout engine written in Rust that was launched by Mozilla in 2012 with a new architecture to achieve high parallelism on components like layout and painting. The current supported CSS properties allow Servo to be mostly operational on static sites like Wikipedia and GitHub, with a surprisingly small code footprint.
The objective of this talk is to describe its architecture in high level, source code organization and how to get started hacking and contributing to Servo. The implementation of a visual CSS feature will be explained as also considerations about Servo future roadmap.
Micro Frontends
“Extending the microservice idea to frontend development”.
What does it really mean? Is it just abusing a certain hype? Should I consider it? How should I approach it?
These are just some of the questions one might ask when presented with this notion. Long story short – Micro front-ends are a reality! However, it is not for everyone.
In this session, we’re going to demystify micro frontends. We’re going to establish what it is, when it should be considered and the decisions to be made

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.

Securing your Kubernetes cluster_ a step-by-step guide to success !KatiaHIMEUR1
Today, after several years of existence, an extremely active community and an ultra-dynamic ecosystem, Kubernetes has established itself as the de facto standard in container orchestration. Thanks to a wide range of managed services, it has never been so easy to set up a ready-to-use Kubernetes cluster.
However, this ease of use means that the subject of security in Kubernetes is often left for later, or even neglected. This exposes companies to significant risks.
In this talk, I'll show you step-by-step how to secure your Kubernetes cluster for greater peace of mind and reliability.

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).

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:

Servo Rendering Pipeline
Overview
Content (aka. Script):
– Creates and owns the DOM tree
Layout:
– Takes from content a snapshot of the DOM tree
– Calculates style (attachment), builds the flow tree
– Flow tree used to calculate the layout of nodes
– Layout of nodes used to build a display list
29. 29Samsung Open Source Group
Servo Rendering Pipeline
Overview
Renderer:
– Receives a display list from layout
– Renders visible portions to one or more tiles in parallel
Compositor:
– Composites the tiles from the renderer
– Sends the final image to the screen for display
30. 30Samsung Open Source Group
Blink/WebKit Differences
In Blink, layout will create a RenderTree
with RenderObjects that have geometric
information and know how to paint
themselves.
In Servo, layout will generate a FlowTree
and later DisplayLists are created from it.
31. 31Samsung Open Source Group
Renderer and Compositor
●
Both the Renderer and Compositor are:
– Decoupled from Layout (separate threads)
– Designed for responsiveness
●
Compositor manages its memory.
– Screen is divided into a series of tiles:
– Rendered in parallel
– Required for mobile performance
●
Display lists are divided in sublists (i.e. stack
context):
– Contents can be retained on the GPU
– Rendered in parallel
32. 32Samsung Open Source Group
Parallel Layout Challenges
HTML layout has complex dependencies:
– Inline element positioning
– Floating elements
– Vertical text
– Pagination
Each page is very different, making static
parallelism prediction difficult.
34. 34Samsung Open Source Group
Parallelism for Power Too
Force low-frequency CPU setting
– Above four cores, same end-to-end
performance as single core at high-
frequency
– BUT, 40% of the power usage
