Continuous Delivery for the Web Platform

The document discusses using configuration management tools like Puppet and Vagrant to create consistent development environments across different platforms. It describes problems that can arise from differences in developer environments. Vagrant is presented as a solution to create virtual development environments that are automatically configured through tools like Puppet and provisioned to be identical to production. Examples are given of using Vagrant and Puppet together to define environments through a Vagrantfile and Puppet manifests.

This document discusses using npm scripts for front-end automation and builds. It argues that npm scripts provide a simple, cross-compatible way to automate tasks like bundling, transpiling, testing and deployment without additional build tools. Npm scripts take advantage of existing CLI tools and allow decomposing complex automation into simple, composable tasks through lifecycle scripts and npm-run-all. Some tradeoffs are less extensibility and ongoing challenges with cross-platform support, but the approach aims to provide simpler mental models than alternative build systems.

This document discusses using Prometheus to monitor Jenkins build pipelines. It describes problems with existing Jenkins exporters, proposes writing a custom exporter to parse Jenkins configuration directly, and demonstrates how this allows monitoring build durations, numbers, and triggering alerts when the production environment falls behind development. Custom metrics are introduced to track specific build versions and avoid promoting older code. Dashboards and alerts are configured to better track the pipeline status.

This document discusses using Bower and Grunt together to manage front-end dependencies and files in a workflow. Bower is used to declare and install dependencies, while Grunt plugins like grunt-bowercopy and grunt-contrib-clean are used to copy dependencies to consistent locations and clean files. Setting up this workflow with Bower, grunt-bowercopy, grunt-contrib-clean, and Git can help organize a project's dependencies, facilitate tracking without committing all files, and reduce build times.

This document discusses best practices for virtual machines (VMs), storage area networks (SANs), and SQL Server. It provides three "nevers" for VMs: never overallocate virtual CPUs, never use automatic settings, and never assume VMs are alone. It also gives three "always" for SANs: always know your neighbors on the SAN, always test storage performance first with SQLIO before SQL Server, and always be checking performance metrics. Key metrics discussed include processor queue length, SQL Server memory page life expectancy, and physical disk read/write average time. The document emphasizes testing storage, understanding competition from other workloads, and monitoring for subtle performance changes.

The document discusses continuous delivery (CD) and continuous integration (CI). It defines CD as automatically deploying code changes to a staging environment after builds and tests pass, while CI involves continuous building and testing of code changes. The document outlines benefits of CD like quicker turnaround and less deployment risk. It also discusses requirements for CD like integration with source control management and automated deployments. Additionally, it proposes solutions for complex workflows, database changes, and monolithic applications in a CD pipeline.

The document discusses security in modern JavaScript applications and frameworks like Meteor. It outlines several security tools in Meteor including: 1) Separating code that runs on the client vs server, 2) Locking down client access to databases, 3) Using remote procedure calls (RPCs), 4) Validating user input to prevent MongoDB injections, and 5) Configuring browser security policies using the browser-policy package. The talk concludes that Meteor provides tools to help secure modern JavaScript apps by locking down client code, preventing database attacks, and configuring new browser security features.

Presentation Overview: An introduction to Continuous Delivery with a focus on Puppet and Operations teams - what is Continuous Delivery, why does my company or Development team want it, and what does it do for me? We'll focus on what you can do with Puppet now to enable an environment that encourages rapid iteration, how Operations can reach out to help Development get on this path (and what Development can ask for from Ops if they aren't helping out), and what Puppet is currently working on to make Continuous Delivery available to every organization. Speaker Bio: Eric Shamow is methodologies lead and a product owner at Puppet Labs. He has worked in IT for over 15 years in a diverse group of organizations from education to finance. Eric's passion is for culture change, and his work with Puppet has brought him to some of the most recognized companies in the industry, consulting on both technology and organizational process.

The document discusses JavaScript concurrency and web workers. It begins by explaining that JavaScript is single-threaded by default, which can cause performance issues if long-running tasks block the UI thread. Web workers allow running scripts in parallel without blocking the UI thread by executing them in background threads. The document then covers how to create and communicate with web workers, what APIs are available to workers, differences between workers and threads, and examples of using workers for parallel processing and transferring large amounts of data efficiently.

Continuous delivery uses practices like Docker, Jenkins, and Mesos/Marathon to ensure code changes can be rapidly and safely deployed to production. Docker provides containerization which allows fast and robust deployment using images. Jenkins can be configured with plugins to build, test, and deploy Docker images to a Mesos/Marathon cluster for production. Mesos/Marathon provide scalability, fault tolerance, and resource sharing across frameworks and applications in a cluster.

This document discusses implementing continuous integration (CI) for Hadoop projects. It describes problems with debugging and assessing performance of MapReduce jobs.

This All Things Open 2022 talk shows how to use current-gen WebAssembly to build complex applications out of components.

This talk was given at AppSec California, January 2020. Credential stuffing and other automated attacks are evolving passed every defense thrown in their way. CAPTCHAs don't work, Fingerprints don't work, Magical AI-whatevers don't work. The value is just too great.

Slides for talk given at PasswordsCon Sweden 2019. Credentials Stuffing is an automated attack that exploits users who reuse passwords by taking breached credentials and replaying them across sites.

This document summarizes an analysis of an exploited NPM package called event-stream. It describes how an attacker gained control of the package and added malicious code that was downloaded by thousands of projects whenever their dependencies were updated. The malicious code stole cryptocurrency from wallets containing large amounts. It highlights the risks of supply chain attacks and emphasizes the importance of auditing dependencies, locking versions, and thinking carefully before adding new dependencies to avoid compromising entire projects and their users.

Jarrod Overson presented on a supply chain attack that occurred in 2018 through the compromise of the event-stream Node.js package. An unauthorized developer gained commit access and introduced malicious code through new dependencies that was then installed by millions of users. The malware harvested cryptocurrency private keys from the Copay wallet app. While the community responded quickly, such attacks demonstrate vulnerabilities in open source software supply chains and dependency management that will continue to be exploited if not properly addressed through changes to practices and tooling.

Deepfakes originally started as cheap costing but believable video effects and have expanded into AI-generated content of every format. This session dove into the state of deepfakes and how the technology highlights an exciting but dangerous future.

Jarrod Overson discusses the evolution of credential stuffing attacks and where they may go in the future. He summarizes that credential stuffing started as basic automated login attempts but has evolved through generations as defenses were put in place, such as CAPTCHAs and behavior analysis. The next generation involves more sophisticated imitation attacks that flawlessly emulate human behavior using real device fingerprints to blend in. Beyond credential stuffing, malware may start scraping user accounts and environments directly from infected machines. As defenses raise the cost of attacks, fraudsters will diversify methods to preserve the value of valid accounts and user data.
