world's fastest delivery pipeline for Sitecore on AzureBas Lijten

Graspan: A Big Data System for Big Code AnalysisAftab Hussain
We built a disk-based parallel graph system, Graspan, that uses a novel edge-pair centric computation model to compute dynamic transitive closures on very large program graphs.
We implement context-sensitive pointer/alias and dataflow analyses on Graspan. An evaluation of these analyses on large codebases such as Linux shows that their Graspan implementations scale to millions of lines of code and are much simpler than their original implementations.
These analyses were used to augment the existing checkers; these augmented checkers found 132 new NULL pointer bugs and 1308 unnecessary NULL tests in Linux 4.4.0-rc5, PostgreSQL 8.3.9, and Apache httpd 2.2.18.

Hand Rolled Applicative User ValidationCode KataPhilip Schwarz
Could you use a simple piece of Scala validation code (granted, a very simplistic one too!) that you can rewrite, now and again, to refresh your basic understanding of Applicative operators <*>, <*, *>?
The goal is not to write perfect code showcasing validation, but rather, to provide a small, rough-and ready exercise to reinforce your muscle-memory.
Despite its grandiose-sounding title, this deck consists of just three slides showing the Scala 3 code to be rewritten whenever the details of the operators begin to fade away.
The code is my rough and ready translation of a Haskell user-validation program found in a book called Finding Success (and Failure) in Haskell - Fall in love with applicative functors.

Using Query Store in Azure PostgreSQL to Understand Query PerformanceGrant Fritchey
Microsoft has added an excellent new extension in PostgreSQL on their Azure Platform. This session, presented at Posette 2024, covers what Query Store is and the types of information you can get out of it.
Hello and welcome to the first Watercooler of 2019.
Today we’re going to be covering Sitecore Experience Commerce Architecture.
But before we start, who am I……
Tech Evangelist – APJ
Commerce Evangelist – Global
Sitecore since 2006
Before I get into it, how many here have worked with Sitecore Experience Commerce?
So this will be a technical session, and we’re going to be covering
*CLICK*
So lets jump straight in!
We’re going to start by looking into the server architecture, the different instances that you’ll need to deploy to stand up an instance of SXC.
So we’re going to use PaaS as our example, and the first things we get are
Resource group using to hold all of our resources
Redis cache used to store the user sessions
Azure Search to hold all of the indexes
Application Insights for monitoring and log storage
But before we talk about XC we first wasn’t to look at whats its built on top of, and that starts with XM & XP
*CLICK*
<<Talk through XM instances>>
*CLICK*
<<Talk through XP instances>>
*CLICK*
<<Talk through XC instances>>
*CLICK*
So today we’re not going to talk anymore about the XM or XP instances and purely focus on the XC resources, so lets take a look at each of these in detail.
So lets take a look at each of these elements
*CLICK*
<<Explain DBs>>
*CLICK*
<<Explain Application Roles>>
*CLICK*
<<Explain indexes>>
Now in the session we’re mostly going to focus on the application roles as that’s where the majority of the functionality for XC exists……
So first of all I just want to touch on two of the roles we showed
The Commerce Business Tools
Merchandisers edit their data
Fully customisable from C#
Super lightweight
Identity Server
Precursor to the Identity Server that you’ve seen in XP 9.1
But lets take a look at the engine where most of the XC functionality exists…
So the Sitecore Commerce Engine is a brand new .NET Core application, it can actually be run as a console application which is a nice workflow compared to the full .NET Framework web instances
It uses OData for communication with the Sitecore Platform, and much like xConnect secures all of that communication over HTTPS through the use of certificates.
Finally, I’m not sure how many of you have heard about the Sitecore Host that was announced at Symposium, but this is the common application framework that all of our future microservices will be based on, and the Commerce Engine is built on an early version of that.
DEMO DEBUGGING
So lets start to talk about the 4 Engine roles that we had in our architecture diagram earlier.
Now the thing the understand here is that these are all the same codebase – slight config differences but for all intents and purposes they are the same. They’re just separated for scaling and isolation of responsibilities.
*CLICK*
<<Describe engine roles and click through features>>
<<Show debugging>>
So lets take a look at why you would want to separate the responsibility of the engines like this.
Here is a very simple representation of how they work. They advantage to having this split is…….
<<Talk about high authoring sites>>
<<Talk about high traffic sites>>
Lets take a look at what happens when a merchandiser is managing the catalog
*CLICK*
Merchandiser logs into BizFX site
User credentials are validated using the Identity Server instance
The Identity Server checks the entered credentials against data stored in the ASPNET membership tables in the Sitecore Core DB
*CLICK*
The BizFX tools then call the Authoring Role to populate UI
Merchandiser navigates to the MerchandisingDashboard, and a Call is made to the Authoring Role to get the Catalog Data from SharedEnvironments DB
A SellableItem is selected and it’s details are again retrieved from the SharedEnvironments DB
*CLICK*
The Merchandiser updates the SellableItems details as required then hits “Save”
A Call is made to the Authoring Role and the updated SellableItem is persisted into the SharedEnvironments DB
Finally an EntityIndex entity is persisted to SharedEnvironments DB to which will queue an update of Catalog Items Scope Index to be performed by a Minion
When a Shopper is viewing one or more sellable Items on the site
*CLICK*
User hits the SxA Storefront page containing catalog data (e.g. Product Listing or Detail page)
Rendering details are loaded from the Sitecore Web database
Rendering uses the sitecore_web_index to get details of the SellableItems
*CLICK*
Index documents are converted into Sitecore Items
The commerce data provider calls through to the Shops Role
Shops Role Commerce Engine retrieves SellableItem Entities from the CatalogEntities Table in the SharedEnvironments Database
Price of item is calculated using data from the PricingEntities Table again in the SharedEnvironments DB
The found SellableItems are returned back to CD instance
Data is rendered and returned to the browser
So that covers the standard data flows for the checkout process, but for a load scenario, what architecture elements would be affects by sites which handle large amounts of orders?
*CLICK*
Sites with large amount of order being places will see load being placed on the following entities
SxA Storefront CD instance
Shops Role
SharedEnvironments DB
Minions Role
Order Scope index
It is recommended to scale these entities to match the load as required.
So that’s given a good overview of the Server Architecture, any questions on the server side of things?
Ok, then lets dive into the application architecture, here were going to cover the Commerce Engine, SxA Storefront & Service communication
So lets take a look into the commerce engine first, we covered how it interacts with the other systems in the architecture and how it scales, but now we’re going to look into how the code itself is structured inside of it.
So you might have heard that the Commerce Engine is built on a plugin based architecture, and I really like this diagram as I think it’sis a pretty good way to visualize this
*CLICK*
Here you have your core functionality, in XC9’s case this is the core commerce framework.
*CLICK*
Then built onto that are your plugins, each one is an individual piece of functionality, completely self contained and leveraging the functionality & extensibility exposed by the core framework.
Single Responsibility Principal
Open Closed Principal
And this plugin architecture gives you real flexibility over what functionality you have enabled in a system.
Here you can see some plugins that would make up a typical storefront.
But say you just deal with digital goods
<<Talk about Steam>>
Remove Inventory & Fulfillment
*CLICK*
Conversely say you want to add a new feature, like say a Product Compare, well you can do that as well.
<<Talk about footprint size>>
Code first
Composition not inheritance
<<CLICK Through each of the elements>>
So that’s the engine, now lets take a look at the storefront side.
SXA Storefront has been build on top of the Sitecore Experience Accelerator.
But what is SXA? It is a toolkit that allows you to build websites with limited to no CMS development efforts. And it enables different work streams like UX, visual design and development to run in parallel accelerating the delivery time.
SXA Storefront adds 40 specific commerce components on top of the default SXA components that you can use to add commerce functionality to your site
In addition to the components it comes with three sample themes that can be used to “style” the storefront
The components are ordered by category types
Account
Cart
Catalog
Checkout
Orders
Shared
Ok so they sound great, but how does all of this communicate with each other?
Well here we’re going to look a the Product Compare feature.
*CLICK*
Here’s the engine plugin <<Talk to image>>
*CLICK*
Here’s the storefront functionality <<Talk to image>>
*CLICK*
But how does the storefront talk to the engine?
We’ll we’ve introduced a ServiceProxy to enable this
*CLICK*
<<Talk to code-gen shim>>
*CLICK*
<<Talk to ServiceProject image>>
So if you have a feature with code in both the engine & storefront, which is very common, you end up using the workflow here.
Do they have to handle certs themselves?
The EngineConnectUtility handles certificate based communitcation for you?
Here we’re building up an OData query to be run against the engine
<<Talk through code lines>>
And of course how can we forget Helix.
Plugins very modular, split code between storefront & engine
Common Closure responsiblity.
RFC open,
We need your comments, explain common closure should apply to engine as well
So any questions about the Application side of things before we move on?
Ok, so lets take a look at some of the tooling / extensions & samples that are available to you.
<<Talk to Andews templates>>
<<Talk to Kaz’s extensions>>
Open Issues – Contributing to OSS is looked on favourably at MVP review time!
Similar to ShowConfig but interactive!
Sample solution for XC
I don’t like separation of XC / XP – great example of flexibility in Helix
Shameless self plug….
Product Compare we saw earlier, plus others
So I just wanted to finish up covering where we are with the product today, and where we’re going to be in the near future….
