Lords Of The Files: Serving user-generated media at a global scale
As Cory House once said “Code is like humor. When you have to explain it—it is bad”. So we will not be explaining code. Instead, we will be providing insights into how to build systems with trunk-based development while dealing with challenges related to high load and large scale. We will be answering questions like, how do you move fast when you need to build a global service serving over a billion objects?
Can you apply a YOLO principle to software development more than once and get away with it? What is trunk-based development and why would you want to have SREs on the team? We are developers of Apollo, the media server for OLX, a global classifieds company in high growth economies including Ukraine. Apollo is storing and serving over 1 billion media items to 40+ marketplaces across the world totalling 70 million monthly active users.
It needs to not only deal with massive traffic, but also serve images optimised for various devices and internet connections.
We are the lords of your files.
Angela is passionate about technology and people. After earning a bachelor’s degree in Computer Science and Finance at UNSW, Australia she started her career in the banking world – suits, red tape and Java 1.4 that was back in the day. Since then she has been in search of engineering Mecca; delighting customers by shipping products with scalable solutions in high performance teams. She has scoured the world in her journey, from building and scaling the Digital Platform at Amazon to bringing Expedia systems to the cloud. Her latest mission is building scalable solutions in the OLX Berlin hub with a cloud-based containerised solution and trunk based development. At OLX, we are empowered, fast and build on each other.

SOOCon24 - Showing that you care about security - OpenSSF ScorecardsChris Swan
Open Source Security Foundation (OpenSSF) Scorecards provide a way for open source users to determine whether maintainers are being diligent about securing their link in the software security supply chain. Practices such as pinning dependencies, branch protection, required reviews, continuous integration tests etc. are measured to provide a score and accompanying badge.
This presentation will provide a walkthrough of the steps involved in securing a first repository, and then what it takes to repeat that process across and organization with multiple repos. It will also look at the ongoing maintenance involved once scorecards have been implemented, and how aspects of that maintenance can be better automated to minimize toil.

Fluttercon Berlin 23 - Dart & Flutter on RISC-VChris Swan
Arm has dominated the mobile space since the dawn of smartphones, but systems based on the open source RISC-V instruction set architecture will bring new choices for manufacturers and us, their customers. RISC-V SDKs showed up in the Dart dev channel in Apr 22, but it's still pretty hard to build stuff due to lots of missing dependencies. As always happens with new stuff, the hardware people are waiting for broader software support, and the software people are waiting for a larger hardware installed base. This talk examines the forces that are driving RISC-V forward, and what developers can expect from a world that will have RISC-V devices, mobile phones, tablets and cloud services.

Flutter SV Meetup Oct 2022 - End to end encrypted IoT with Dart and FlutterChris Swan
Walkthrough of how Internet of Things (IoT) devices can run full stack Dart and connect to Flutter apps using end to end encryption to provide security and privacy.
Dart's popularity has surged in the past few years, as it's the language behind Flutter - Google's cross platform front end framework. That's now driving a notion of 'Full Stack Dart', where if you've spent time learning Dart for the front end, why not also use it for the back end.
London IoT Meetup Sep 2022 - End to end encrypted IoTChris Swan
Your thing, your data.
An overview of why end-end encryption is desirable for the Internet of Things (IoT), and how it can be done using personal data stores such as atSigns on the atPlatform.
Flutter Vikings 2022 - End to end IoT with Dart and FlutterChris Swan
Things need apps to manage them, which Flutter is great for, providing an easy way to build cross platform support. But things also need to get their data (securely and privately) to their apps, and Dart can be used for that. This presentation will walk through a use case demonstrated at Mobile World Congress (and now open sourced) that uses Dart to read sensor data through to Flutter for user presentation.
EMFcamp2022 - What if apps logged into you, instead of you logging into apps?Chris Swan
As a hacker and engineer I've been interested in identity and privacy since the dawn of the Internet and the online services it's enabled. For the past year I've been helping to build and open source The @ Platform, which inverts the usual model by giving everybody (and every thing) their own place to store data and control who (and what) has access to it. This talk will give an overview of the platform and its underlying protocol, and illustrate how it can be used to build privacy preserving apps and Internet connected things. It will also cover how the platform can be self hosted on devices like the Raspberry Pi, and how people can get involved in the open source community growing around it.
Devoxx UK 2022 - Application security: What should the attack landscape look ...Chris Swan
What do we need to do in the next few years to ensure that the attack landscape for 2030 isn't the same as 2020? Better languages and frameworks have already brought substantial improvements in memory safety, eliminating whole classes of vulnerabilities caused by buffer overflows.Yet despite a major reshuffle in 2021, the OWASP top 10 remains full of things that boil down to a lack of input validation. An issue that has bedevilled tech since its inception. We're all told that we shouldn't trust the input to our programs, and that validation is our best defence. But developers get precious little help on that front from today's languages and frameworks; something that can and should change. This talk will examine a hypothetical evolution of TypeScript - ValidScript, to consider a future where input validation is baked in.

Full Stack Squared 2022 - Power of Open SourceChris Swan
The document discusses the power of open source software and how people can get involved. It begins with an introduction of the author and covers the three types of "free" that define open source - free like beer meaning no cost, free like speech meaning freedom over the code, and free like puppy meaning ongoing maintenance is required. Famous people in open source like Richard Stallman, Eric Raymond, and Linus Torvalds are profiled. The document outlines how readers can get involved through contributing code, being considerate of maintainers, and participating in challenges. It concludes with contact information and a call for questions.
Flutter provides an excellent way to build Android, iOS, web and desktop apps, but what about the back end services? Full stack Dart is all about using that investment in Dart programming to build the services used by applications, whether it's in the cloud or on the Internet of Things. This presentation will look at the tradeoffs between just in time (JIT) and ahead of time (AOT) compilation, Dart on Docker, the Functions Framework for Dart, Profiling and Performance Management. Choices of back end architecture (x86_64 vs Arm) will also be examined, along with some of the challenges this can present for Continuous Delivery.

CAKE: Sharing Slices of Confidential Data on BlockchainClaudio Di Ciccio
Presented at the CAiSE 2024 Forum, Intelligent Information Systems, June 6th, Limassol, Cyprus.
Synopsis: Cooperative information systems typically involve various entities in a collaborative process within a distributed environment. Blockchain technology offers a mechanism for automating such processes, even when only partial trust exists among participants. The data stored on the blockchain is replicated across all nodes in the network, ensuring accessibility to all participants. While this aspect facilitates traceability, integrity, and persistence, it poses challenges for adopting public blockchains in enterprise settings due to confidentiality issues. In this paper, we present a software tool named Control Access via Key Encryption (CAKE), designed to ensure data confidentiality in scenarios involving public blockchains. After outlining its core components and functionalities, we showcase the application of CAKE in the context of a real-world cyber-security project within the logistics domain.
