Nginx for Fun & Performance - Philipp Krenn - Codemotion Rome 2015Codemotion
Codemotion Rome 2015 - Is it fast yet? Performance is getting ever more important and using nginx is one of the easiest hacks to make your system faster. This talk takes a look at why and how nginx is so fast — it's all about being event-driven. Additionally, we discuss where you can make use of nginx's power, specifically for terminating SSL connections, providing a load balancer or proxy, and to run static websites as well as dynamic web-applications with PHP.
Getting instantly up and running with Docker and SymfonyAndré Rømcke
A look into how you can start to use Docker today with ready made setup with php7, nginx, redis, blackfire and so on. How you may extend it, and integrating it into your continuous integration workflow, and how you can setup a continuous deployment workflow using for instance Travis-CI.

Join us to discover how to use the PHP frameworks and tools you love in the Cloud with Heroku. We will cover best practices for deploying and scaling your PHP apps and show you how easy it can be. We will show you examples of how to deploy your code from Git and use Composer to manage dependencies during deployment. You will also discover how to maintain parity through all your environments, from development to production. If your apps are database-driven, you can also instantly create a database from the Heroku add-ons and have it automatically attached to your PHP app. Horizontal scalability has always been at the core of PHP application design, and by using Heroku for your PHP apps, you can focus on code features, not infrastructure.
Frontend Performance: Beginner to Expert to Crazy PersonPhilip Tellis
The very first requirement of a great user experience is actually getting the bytes of that experience to the user before they they get fed up and leave.
In this talk we'll start with the basics and get progressively insane. We'll go over several frontend performance best practices, a few anti-patterns, the reasoning behind the rules, and how they've changed over the years. We'll also look at some great tools to help you.

DevOps Fest 2020. Роман Орлов. Инфраструктура тестирования в KubernetesDevOps_Fest
Сегодня многие сервисы, которые два года назад жили в Docker контейнерах, переезжают в Kubernetes. И инфраструктура тестирования не исключение. В своем докладе я хочу рассказать чем Kubernetes может быть полезен для внутренней инфраструктуры, и как мы используем Kubernetes для организации Selenium-тестирования. Вы узнаете как мы прошли путь от «голого» железа до «кубера», что это дало и какую можно получить экономию. На реальных примерах вы увидите как мы работаем с Kubernetes API, как запускаем Windows в Kubernetes, а также наши «грабли» и best practices.
Connector Corner: Automate dynamic content and events by pushing a buttonDianaGray10
Here is something new! In our next Connector Corner webinar, we will demonstrate how you can use a single workflow to:
Create a campaign using Mailchimp with merge tags/fields
Send an interactive Slack channel message (using buttons)
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
Join us to learn more about this new, human-in-the-loop capability, brought to you by Integration Service connectors.

Kubernetes & AI - Beauty and the Beast !?! @KCD Istanbul 2024Tobias Schneck
As AI technology is pushing into IT I was wondering myself, as an “infrastructure container kubernetes guy”, how get this fancy AI technology get managed from an infrastructure operational view? Is it possible to apply our lovely cloud native principals as well? What benefit’s both technologies could bring to each other?
Let me take this questions and provide you a short journey through existing deployment models and use cases for AI software. On practical examples, we discuss what cloud/on-premise strategy we may need for applying it to our own infrastructure to get it to work from an enterprise perspective. I want to give an overview about infrastructure requirements and technologies, what could be beneficial or limiting your AI use cases in an enterprise environment. An interactive Demo will give you some insides, what approaches I got already working for real.
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.

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.
