LinkRest (http://linkrest.io) is a small HTTP-based protocol and a Java framework that rethinks how REST APIs should be built and consumed. It turns each API endpoint into a graph query engine, giving the client full control over the shape and contents of the requested data sets, while the server controls query strategy and security. The talk will start with the easy parts – how to reuse an existing Apache Cayenne ORM model for the REST service and write simple Java one-liners to get it up and running. Then we will delve into alternative backends, graph access security and parallel data processing.
NGINX Can Do That? Test Drive Your Config File!Jeff Anderson
I have had countless conversations with developers, projects managers, and even executives that end up being about nginx and what it can do. Usually, the phrase "nginx can do that?" comes up. More often than not, the answer is YES. What happens though, is the nginx config file can get unwieldy. How can we assert that it will behave how it needs to over time? How can we avoid introducing inadvertent regressions?

На сегодняшний день такие популярные анализаторы, как OWASP ZAP и Burp Suite, не всегда хорошо справляются с задачей автоматического сканирования приложений. Нередко они не могут найти какие-то специфические директории, автоматически отправить запрос без участия человека. И чаще данные инструменты запускаются локально. При этом, если в компании хорошо работает команда по автоматизации тестирования, их работу можно взять за основу динамического анализа и фазинга.
Как бонус, обсудим разницу Burp Suite Professional и Burp Suite Enterprise с точки зрения CI/CD и подключения автоматизированных тестов.

Design & Performance - Steve Souders at Fastly Altitude 2015Fastly
Fastly Altitude - June 25, 2015. Chief SpeedCurver Steve Souders explains how design and web performance are more interconnected than ever before. Users want a fast website with a rich design, but sometimes the interplay between design and performance feels like a fixed sum game: one side's gain is the other side's loss. Design and performance are indeed connected, but it's more like the yin and yang. They aren't opposing forces, but instead complement each other. Bringing these processes together produces experiences that are rich and fast.

Create your very own Development Environment with Vagrant and Packerfrastel
Vagrant, Packer, and Puppet can be used together to create a development environment. Packer is used to build custom base boxes that include only the operating system. Vagrant uses these base boxes to create isolated virtual machines. Puppet then provisions the virtual machines by installing additional software, configuring applications, and defining infrastructure as code. This allows for consistent, reproducible development environments that match production.
Terraform is used to manage infrastructure as code. InSpec is a powerful framework for validating that infrastructure. In combination they allow for fast, safe infrastructure automation.
This document discusses how to set up a Vagrant development system. Vagrant allows you to run development environments in isolated virtual machines on your local machine. It ensures that your development environment matches production. The document explains how to install Vagrant and VirtualBox. It provides an overview of common Vagrant commands and configurations. It also demonstrates how to use Vagrant for WordPress development, including running unit tests and the makepot tool.

Create Development and Production Environments with VagrantBrian Hogan
Need a Linux box to test a Wordpress site or a Windows VM to test a web site on IE 10? Creating a virtual machine to test or deploy your software doesn’t have to be a manual process. Bring one up in seconds with Vagrant, software for creating and managing virtual machines. With Vagrant, you can bring up a new virtual machine with the software you need, share directories, copy files, and configure networking using a friendly DSL. You can even use shell scripts or more powerful provisioning tools to set up your software and install your apps. Whether you need a Windows machine for testing an app, or a full-blown production environment for your apps, Vagrant has you covered.
In this talk you’ll learn to script the creation of multiple local virtual machines. Then you’ll use the same strategy to provision production servers in the cloud.
I work with Vagrant, Terraform, Docker, and other provisioning systems daily and am excited to show others how to bring this into their own workflows.

FreeBSD Core Team Update at BSDCan '19. Topics covered include: community survey results, working group updates (release engineering, documentation, and git).
Pg_prefaulter is a tool that helps eliminate replication lag and reduce startup times. It works by prefaulting WAL files on the follower nodes before the regular replication process applies the WAL. This is done by parsing the WAL files on the primary using pg_xlogdump to determine which database relations (tables, indexes) need to be prefaulted. Pg_prefaulter then issues prefetch system calls in parallel to warm the OS caches and disk buffers for those relations, improving performance of the downstream replication and recovery processes.
The document provides an overview of the FreeBSD/VPC virtual private cloud solution. Key points include:
- VPC uses the bhyve hypervisor for virtualization with good CPU and memory isolation between guests.
- Network isolation between guests is challenging with existing FreeBSD networking approaches like tap/bridge/vxlan due to performance issues.
- A new VPC subsystem is proposed to provide dedicated virtual network interfaces (vmnic, vpcp) for guests with improved performance.
- The VPC solution uses VXLAN encapsulation and unique VXLAN network identifiers (VNIs) to provide overlay network isolation between guests on different hosts in a multi-host deployment.
