We’re getting together at Von Stackelberg Hotel with two topics: security and project management.

Hardening web app security, or how to pass security audits with flying colors

Jouni Huttunen (Solita)

Simple steps to harden web app security. The story behind this is that we had a project with strict security demands and an audit. Usually, significant issues are found during the audit, but we passed it with praises. This is a story about how anyone can repeat it.

What helps developer on the way of becoming a project manager

Ali Baloi (Mindworks Industries)

The goal of my speech is to encourage more developers to try project management role.As a former developer I’ll be talking about my own experience; pluses and minuses that developer has at the start; own insights and lifehacks that helped me; and of course f2ckups. If you are a developer and think that IT project management might be your new career switch, then this talk might be useful for you.

Agenda

Peeter Marvet

Chiropraxis PHP – let me feel the stress of your application and make it perform again

Peeter has been solving the problems of webapps that come to him with the usual diagnosis “server is slow” – and it is almost never the server that is slow. What are the signs of lazy code, depending too much on external services, not-very-intelligent db architecture choices and other common faults that take websites down? Examples are mostly from PHP+MySQL world, but the problems are presumably same everywhere.

Ervin Weber

Hacking on emails

Let’s talk about how and where emails go and how to alter it. Let’s talk about spamming the right way. Toggl have grown big, like “We send over 1M emails a month” big. The talk will cover what needed to be fixed along the way and what needed to be learned.

Text analysis: from pre-trained APIs to custom models

Most applications deal with text data in some form: from chat messages to product reviews to comments and more. Making sense of large amounts of text data manually is difficult and time consuming. Luckily, advances in natural language processing (NLP) have given us a variety of tools to help analyze text. Whether you’re new to ML or you’ve already built your own custom model, by the end of this talk you’ll know how to get started adding NLP to your own application. I’ll begin by introducing the Cloud Natural Language API, which lets you utilize a pre-trained model to get insights from your text with a single API call. Then I’ll discuss how to build a custom model trained on your own data using TensorFlow and Cloud ML Engine, with lots of live demos along the way.

Chris Thalinger
Software engineer working on Java Virtual Machines for over 13 years

Twitter’s quest for wholly Graal

Twitter is a massively distributed system with thousands of machines running thousands of JVMs. In any similar big system a small change in performance and CPU utilization is multiplied thousandfold and results in big savings. Electricity costs, cooling costs, and possibly reduction of server farm size. One way to improve Java performance and reduce CPU utilization is to simply generate better machine code. Simply is obviously not trivial but doable. Twitter is going down that road and experimenting with Graal to generate better code and reduce cost.
