Rails Conf Europe 2007 Notes

Ross Lawley

This document summarizes notes from several talks and discussions about scaling Ruby on Rails applications. Some key points include: - To scale a Rails app, focus on load balancing and separating application tiers (front-end servers, application servers, databases). Use caching, database replication, and queuing systems. - Monitoring tools like Munin and Nagios are important for tracking performance bottlenecks. Metrics like requests per second help determine capacity. - Scaling the database is critical; techniques include sharding, replication, and optimizing queries with indexing. Caching data in Memcached also helps scale performance. - Virtualization allows consolidating servers. Software load balancers like Nginx can route

Advanced Deployment

Jonathan Weiss

MonoRails - GoGaRuCo 2012

jackdanger

The document discusses the challenges of scaling a monolithic Rails application over time as features and data grow. It begins by describing a Rails app with over 1000 controllers running on huge MySQL boxes across multiple datacenters. As the app and team grew, testing became spotty and developers became overwhelmed. The document then discusses actual scaling problems like scaling data, codebase, customers and features. It proposes separating the app into internal gems and services to allow independent scaling of components instead of the monolithic approach that becomes difficult to change.

MongoDB: What, why, when

Eugenio Minardi

MongoDB is a document database that provides a more flexible schema than relational databases. It allows embedding related data and easier updates than relational databases with object-relational mapping. MongoDB scales horizontally through sharding and provides high availability through replica sets. It supports different consistency models including eventual and strong consistency through write concerns and read preferences.

Scalable web architecture

Kaushik Paranjape

This document discusses designing a scalable web architecture for an e-commerce site. It recommends: 1) Using a service-based architecture with microservices for components like the UI, queue, analytics algorithms, and database. 2) Scaling services horizontally using load balancing and auto-scaling. 3) Collecting performance metrics to monitor everything and make data-driven decisions about scaling. 4) Storing data in multiple databases like MySQL, MongoDB, HBase based on their suitability and scaling them independently as services.

GraphTour - Closing Keynote

Neo4j

The document summarizes the advantages of a native graph database like Neo4j over non-native graph approaches. It discusses how: 1) Non-native graph databases require denormalization and cannot fully enforce graph integrity since the database was not designed for graphs. 2) Neo4j is a native graph database where the engine, data structures, and query language are purpose-built for graphs, allowing it to achieve better performance, scale, and enforcement of graph constraints compared to non-native solutions. 3) Benchmarks show Neo4j can handle workloads with trillions of relationships, millions of writes per second, and outperform non-native databases on common graph queries by over

Storage Systems For Scalable systems

elliando dias

Haytham ElFadeel presented on next-generation storage systems and key-value stores. He began with an overview of scalable systems and the need for both vertical and horizontal scalability. He discussed the limitations of traditional databases in scaling, including complexity, wasted features, and multi-step query processing. Key-value stores were presented as an alternative, offering simple interfaces and designs optimized for scaling across hundreds of machines. Performance comparisons showed key-value stores significantly outperforming databases. Systems discussed included Amazon Dynamo, Facebook Cassandra, and Redis.

Connecting Attitudes and Social Influences with Designs for Usable Security a...

Cori Faklaris

Many system designs for cybersecurity and privacy have failed to account for individual and social circumstances, leading people to use workarounds such as password reuse or account sharing that can lead to vulnerabilities. To address the problem, researchers are building new understandings of how individuals’ attitudes and behaviors are influenced by the people around them and by their relationship needs, so that designers can take these into account. In this talk, I will first share my research to connect people’s security attitudes and social influences with their security and privacy behaviors. As part of this, I will present the Security and Privacy Acceptance Framework (SPAF), which identifies Awareness, Motivation, and Ability as necessary for strengthening people’s acceptance of security and privacy practices. I then will present results from my project to trace where social influences can help overcome obstacles to adoption such as negative attitudes or inability to troubleshoot a password manager. I will conclude by discussing my current work to apply these insights to mitigating phishing in SMS text messages (“smishing”).

Fwdays

We love developing applications, but sometimes we overlook critical security aspects, especially in the authentication. This oversight can lead to serious consequences. In this session, we'll explore the vulnerabilities that arise when authentication methods are weak, particularly in large-scale applications. We'll highlight the importance of Single Sign-On (SSO) authentication in modern development, and explain how SSO components interact with each other, including Identity Providers (IdP) and Service Providers (SP). We'll compare standards like SAML, OpenID, and OAuth, and demonstrate practical implementation on .NET using third-party solutions for seamless integration. Understanding SAML request/response formats and decoding tools will be the key. We'll also discuss real-world SAML configuration errors and vulnerabilities, and share best practices for securing SSO configurations, drawing on trusted sources like OWASP for guidance.
