Azure Functions - the evolution of microservices platform or marketing gibber...Katherine Golovinova
ANTON BOYKO, Founder and main speaker of Ukrainian Microsoft Azure Community.
When many people hear the word microservices, they think of Kubernetes. And it’s hard to blame them: the utilization of Docker containerization together with Kubernetes orchestration really seems like a match made in heaven.
But, there is a new name in town: serverless (or FaaS). It seems it can offer you all the stuff that Kubernetes has and more. Native support for .NET, Java, Python, Node. Out-of-the-box binding for things like HTTP incoming requests (for Web API), incoming queue message (for processing async tasks), time-based trigger, etc. It also comes with micro billing (you pay only for execution time, not for idle time) and 0-to-infinite scalability. But is it all too good to be true? Aren't there any drawbacks? Is it all a huge marketing scheme to make us actually pay more? Let's find out.

Zero to Hero: Start Test automation with Cypress
In DevOps world, test automation is a must have. But start coding could be challenging for people novice in tech and also for the ones working in manual testing (because someone said that testers don’t need technical skills)! In this “right to the point” workshop you’ll start your automation test project - easy and painlessly. It’ll give you knowledge to continue learning and practicing after.
Cypress is an end-to-end testing framework that focuses on doing testing well through features like time travel debugging, real-time reloads, and automatic waiting. It works on any frontend framework and tests are written in JavaScript alone. Cypress provides an all-in-one solution for developers and QA engineers to set up testing, write Cucumber tests, run and debug tests from a dashboard or command line, and generate reports including screenshots, videos, and JUnit files.
Cypress is an e2e testing tool that allows for testing web applications directly in the browser. It provides native access to the browser without using Selenium, making tasks like taking screenshots and recording videos possible. Some limitations are that it only supports single-page applications and one browser tab at a time. Cypress prioritizes developer experience through features like fast testing, intuitive debugging, and integration with continuous integration systems and dashboards. Many large companies have adopted Cypress for their e2e testing needs.

The presentation was given during the Nagios World Conference North America held Oct 13th - Oct 16th, 2014 in Saint Paul, MN. For more information on the conference (including photos and videos), visit: http://go.nagios.com/conference
This document provides an introduction to Ansible, an IT automation tool. It discusses how Ansible uses YAML playbooks to describe the intended system state and requires no agent on managed machines. Playbooks can consolidate tasks and configuration into a single file and support templating. Real-world examples are given of using Ansible for tasks like installing packages, editing config files, and enabling services on remote servers.
This document discusses using Ansible for continuous integration (CI) in a software development workflow. It describes polling a GitHub repository for code changes using Jenkins, which then triggers an Ansible build to deploy the code and run tests on CentOS CI infrastructure. The build process uses Vagrant and Docker and takes approximately 20 minutes. Ansible roles are used to abstract and organize playbooks for deploying the code.
Cypress is an open source, front end testing tool built for modern web applications. It uses JavaScript to write automated end-to-end tests that run directly in the browser engine. Unlike Selenium which runs outside the browser, Cypress operates inside the browser to listen and modify behavior. Cypress makes testing simple through its intuitive API, fast speeds, and ability to work on any frontend framework. The document outlines Cypress' architecture, features, limitations, installation process, project structure, and how to write tests using constructs like describe, it, before, and assertions.
Tokopedia uses Go for several services including search, image uploads, and analytics. Previously they used Node.js but faced challenges with unbounded concurrency, lack of type safety, and performance issues with HTTP clients. Go provides an easy way to write unit tests and benchmarks. Documentation is generated from code comments. Go also includes libraries for object caching, metrics collection, and cancelling long-running requests. Migrating from a scripting language to a compiled language like Go changes the deployment process and requires packaging binaries instead of interpreting code.
The document discusses JetBrains' use of feature branches and continuous integration in their development process. It provides details on their internal TeamCity installation which processes over 1000 VCS changes and 1500 builds per day. It also discusses how their .NET Products team has benefited from adopting feature branches in Mercurial after previously struggling with long build times and broken builds using Subversion without feature branches.

Continuous Integration - What even is it?Rob Jacoby
The document discusses continuous integration and continuous delivery. Continuous integration involves regularly merging code into a main branch and running automated tests after every commit. This prevents large, complex branches from developing. Continuous delivery aims to ensure code can be reliably released at any time by deploying code as soon as it is merged into the main branch. Best practices for continuous integration include maintaining a code repository, automating builds and tests, committing to the main branch daily, and making the build process fast. Continuous delivery best practices include automating all build, test and deployment scripts, and separating scripts for dependencies, testing, and deploying.

It then explains how to set up a Grunt project by installing Grunt CLI, creating a package.json, Gruntfile.js, and installing Grunt and plugins like SASS and Watch. The document next introduces SASS, noting how it adds features to CSS like variables, nesting, mixins and more. It then demonstrates various SASS features and provides a demo repository link.
Build your first DApp using Substrate Framework - Part IKnoldus Inc.
Substrate is a development framework for creating blockchains, offering different levels of abstraction depending on developer needs. It dramatically reduces the time, energy, and money required to create a new blockchain.
Substrate provides a much larger canvas for developers to experiment on, as compared to smart contract platforms like Ethereum. It allows for full control of the underlying storage, consensus, economics, and state transition rules of the blockchain, things which you generally cannot modify on a standard smart contract platform.
~ First, it reduces the burden on parachain builders by providing security-as-a-service from the relay chain. This shared security simplification lowers friction for builders and simplifies the process of launching a new parachain.
~ Second, shared security provides a framework for parachains to talk to each other, which ultimately allows parachains to specialize.
In this session you will explore how to build decentralized apps (dApps) directly into your own blockchain using the Substrate development framework and module library.
This document discusses using Node.js in a heterogeneous system. It describes using Node.js as a web-tier orchestrator and how the project is structured using both Maven and NPM.

DevOpsDays Atlanta 2025 - Building 10x Development Organizations.pptxJustin Reock
Building 10x Organizations with Modern Productivity Metrics
10x developers may be a myth, but 10x organizations are very real, as proven by the influential study performed in the 1980s, ‘The Coding War Games.’
Right now, here in early 2025, we seem to be experiencing YAPP (Yet Another Productivity Philosophy), and that philosophy is converging on developer experience. It seems that with every new method we invent for the delivery of products, whether physical or virtual, we reinvent productivity philosophies to go alongside them.
But which of these approaches actually work? DORA? SPACE? DevEx? What should we invest in and create urgency behind today, so that we don’t find ourselves having the same discussion again in a decade?

TrustArc Webinar: Consumer Expectations vs Corporate Realities on Data Broker...TrustArc
Most consumers believe they’re making informed decisions about their personal data—adjusting privacy settings, blocking trackers, and opting out where they can. However, our new research reveals that while awareness is high, taking meaningful action is still lacking. On the corporate side, many organizations report strong policies for managing third-party data and consumer consent yet fall short when it comes to consistency, accountability and transparency.
This session will explore the research findings from TrustArc’s Privacy Pulse Survey, examining consumer attitudes toward personal data collection and practical suggestions for corporate practices around purchasing third-party data.
Attendees will learn:
- Consumer awareness around data brokers and what consumers are doing to limit data collection
- How businesses assess third-party vendors and their consent management operations
- Where business preparedness needs improvement
- What these trends mean for the future of privacy governance and public trust
This discussion is essential for privacy, risk, and compliance professionals who want to ground their strategies in current data and prepare for what’s next in the privacy landscape.
This is the keynote of the Into the Box conference, highlighting the release of the BoxLang JVM language, its key enhancements, and its vision for the future.

Artificial Intelligence is providing benefits in many areas of work within the heritage sector, from image analysis, to ideas generation, and new research tools. However, it is more critical than ever for people, with analogue intelligence, to ensure the integrity and ethical use of AI. Including real people can improve the use of AI by identifying potential biases, cross-checking results, refining workflows, and providing contextual relevance to AI-driven results.
News about the impact of AI often paints a rosy picture. In practice, there are many potential pitfalls. This presentation discusses these issues and looks at the role of analogue intelligence and analogue interfaces in providing the best results to our audiences. How do we deal with factually incorrect results? How do we get content generated that better reflects the diversity of our communities? What roles are there for physical, in-person experiences in the digital world?
