Derek C. Ashmore gave a presentation on refactoring a monolithic application into microservices. He defined what a monolith is and the problems it can cause, such as being hard to change and having long test cycles. Ashmore discussed how breaking a monolith into smaller microservices can increase speed to market and lower business risk. He provided tactics for different types of monoliths, such as separating a user interface or factoring out independent services. Common challenges like handling shared code and reporting were also addressed.
Refactoring Into Microservices 2016-11-06Derek Ashmore
This presentation was given to the Software Development Community (SDC) on November 6, 2016.
Microservices architecture has become a widely popular topic. Most of us are aware of what microservices are and the problems they are meant to solve. Most microservice implementations were originally monolithic applications that grew too large and complex to support. However, refactoring into microservices is much easier said than done.
This presentation will provide you guidance for refactoring a monolithic application into microservices. I'll provide an overview of the entire process along with best practices and common mistakes along the way. This presentation is meant to be platform-generic; you can use these concepts on applications written in any programming language. This presentation is targeted for senior developers and tech leads.

AWS Lambda Deployments: Best Practices and Common Mistakes
"Serverless" architectures, such as AWS Lambda, Google Cloud Functions, or Azure's Serverless Compute service, relieve you of hardware and scaling set-up concerns. Large companies such as Netflix, Cmp.LY, VidRoll, and other organizations are introducing serverless technologies into their technical stacks. This presentation concentrates on the AWS Lambda product as it was the first cloud-based serverless architecture and is leading the trend. However, comparison and contrast with the Google and Azure offerings will also be included.
This presentation will provide you with an overview for AWS Lambda and the products advantages and disadvantages. I'll include an overview on how to create and deploy Lambdas providing examples along the way. I'll also include a discussion of best practices and when use of Lambda is appropriate. This presentation is targeted for senior developers and architects.

Refactoring Into Microservices. Chicago Coders Conference 2017-06-26Derek Ashmore
Given published success stories from Netflix and Amazon, many companies are adopting microservice architectures. Most of the time, microservices are born in an effort to break a monolith into more manageable pieces. A monolith is an application that has grown too large and complex to effectively enhance and support. Most of us have seen monolithic applications or even had the pleasure of supporting them. However, refactoring a monolithic application into smaller, more manageable services is much easier said than done.
This session will provide strategies and tactics you can use to refactor a monolith into smaller services and mitigate the risk along the way. Typically, refactoring a monolith takes place incrementally and not all at once. I’ll show you how to identify and prioritize portions of the monolith to break away. I’ll address automated testing and how to use it to refactor more safely. I’ll show you tactics for refactoring and restructuring the underlying database the monolith uses. I’ll cover some common mistakes along the way.

A collection of information taken from previous presentations that was used as drill down for supporting discussion of specific topics during the tutorial.
The Scala programming language has been gaining significant traction over the last few years, being adopted by vastly different organizations from startups to large enterprises. While the language itself is pretty well understood and explained in tutorials and books, there is an apparent dearth of practical advice for new adopters on the best approach to integrating the new technology. In this talk I’ll attempt to offer such advice gathered over several years of production Scala use, focusing on tools, practices, patterns and the community, in the hope of making your transition into the Scala ecosystem easier and better-informed up front.

Get Loose! Microservices and Loosely Coupled Architectures DevOps.com
The recently published results from the 2017 State of DevOps Survey shows that loosely coupled architectures and teams are the strongest predictor of continuous delivery. Microservices and Containers are a great choice for creating these loosely coupled systems. But, many teams find it hard to decompose monolithic applications into Microservices, and they find it harder still to coordinate deployments and releases into the emergent “hyper-hybrid” operating environments.

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 / 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.
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:

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.

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.
