[Ballerina Community Call] Java InteroperabilityBallerinalang
In this slide deck, we discuss upcoming features in future Ballerina releases, and Java interoperability in Ballerina including:
- Calling Java code from Ballerina
- Generating bindings using the Bindgen Tool
- Packaging Java libraries with Ballerina programs

If you are convinced that actor model can drive your design of scalable and performant .NET applications, you will very likely give a chance to Akka.NET - a port of JVM Akka framework that gained popularity among .NET developers. And if you are fan of a functional programming, you will certainly try Akka.NET F# API. But which of them? There is an official one, but there is also an experimental one, called Akkling that offers typed actors and F# support for actor lifecycle, cluster sharding and reactive streams.
Come to this talk and you will be convinced that Akkling is the way to go!
Slides to talk presented on #ngpartycz about the history of APIs, evolution and how to pick the right technology for you. It might not be (and probably will not be) the technically best solution. And of course you will find out why is GraphQL actually REST.
Bill Kidwell took us through his recent experiences creating a GraphQL API using AWS Appsync and AWS Amplify. He covered data model and data access patterns. And updating the GraphQL schema using Appsync’s custom annotations. The result was a DynamoDB backed GraphQL API. He even discussed more complex use cases too.

Ruslan Gibaiev.Doing real-time stream processing in one of the fastest-growin...IT Arena
Bolt is one of the fastest-growing companies in Europe and so are our data volumes. Since our launch in 2013, we have reached 25 million customers in over 30 countries. Not only we grow our market share in cities where we operate, but we expand to new regions and launch new business divisions. It all comes with massive amounts of new data.
In our day-to-day operations, we heavily rely on data for decision making and machine learning. That’s why we made a decision to switch towards real-time stream processing and event sourcing. It was a long and bumpy ride which has provided us with significant benefits.
During this presentation, Ruslan will share his team’s experience migrating all company’s infrastructure to real-time data processing, problems team has encountered, short-cuts they have made, and lessons learned along the way – Kafka cluster management, structured and un-structure data processing, data (de)duplication, reliability guarantees, making migration process as seamless as possible.”

Epistemic Interaction - tuning interfaces to provide information for AI supportAlan Dix
Paper presented at SYNERGY workshop at AVI 2024, Genoa, Italy. 3rd June 2024
https://alandix.com/academic/papers/synergy2024-epistemic/
As machine learning integrates deeper into human-computer interactions, the concept of epistemic interaction emerges, aiming to refine these interactions to enhance system adaptability. This approach encourages minor, intentional adjustments in user behaviour to enrich the data available for system learning. This paper introduces epistemic interaction within the context of human-system communication, illustrating how deliberate interaction design can improve system understanding and adaptation. Through concrete examples, we demonstrate the potential of epistemic interaction to significantly advance human-computer interaction by leveraging intuitive human communication strategies to inform system design and functionality, offering a novel pathway for enriching user-system engagements.
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.
Threats to mobile devices are more prevalent and increasing in scope and complexity. Users of mobile devices desire to take full advantage of the features
available on those devices, but many of the features provide convenience and capability but sacrifice security. This best practices guide outlines steps the users can take to better protect personal devices and information.
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:

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).

Climate Impact of Software Testing at Nordic Testing DaysKari Kakkonen
My slides at Nordic Testing Days 6.6.2024
Climate impact / sustainability of software testing discussed on the talk. ICT and testing must carry their part of global responsibility to help with the climat warming. We can minimize the carbon footprint but we can also have a carbon handprint, a positive impact on the climate. Quality characteristics can be added with sustainability, and then measured continuously. Test environments can be used less, and in smaller scale and on demand. Test techniques can be used in optimizing or minimizing number of tests. Test automation can be used to speed up testing.
