Proposals - Montreal 2020
An Introduction to Event Storming for Process Modelling
Before the start of development comes the gathering of requirements. This daunting task with the seemingly endless discussions. Followed by the creation of epics, user stories or tickets which will change over and over again - even when development has already begun. We can do better than this: With Event Storming, an unlimited modeling space and all the key stakeholder in the same room. Let’s get started with efficient Domain-Driven Design!
The World comes preloaded
Does your application rely on autoloading? Chances are, it does – given autoloading was introduced to PHP back in Version 5. While the original global function has long been deprecated, with PHP 7.4 the whole concept of autoloading became superfluous! This talk will introduce you to preloading and how it is likely to change pretty much everything: how to load classes and when, and how to deploy new versions to production!
Protect your API – with Rate Limits
In an API-driven world, being and staying reachable is a crucial success factor. And while, of course, misbehaving client applications and users could be dealt with by simply adding more servers and thus making your (cloud) provider happy, restricting the API access to reasonable rates may be a more cost efficient way. Learn how to limit access rates to your API without changing a single line of backend code!
The Future of Authentication - An Introduction to WebAuthn
In March 2019 the W3C released the Level 1 of the recommendation for the new Web Authentication Standard "WebAuthn". Supported by all major browser vendors, it strives to make passwords as well as phishing a thing of the past. Given millions of stolen credentials, the switch away from passwords should happen rather sooner than later. Learn what WebAuthn is about, how it works, and how to leverage its potential for you site today!
