PRO SESSION (Dev Innovation): Innovating Browser Security: New Dev Strategies for Taming Vulnerable Third-Party Scripts

Thursday November 7, 2024 9:30am - 9:55am PST

Dev Innovation Summit -- Main Stage

Simon Wijckmans, c/side, CEO

As developers, we continually put third-party code snippets into our organization’s websites to run features like chatbots, analytics, and payment gateways. However, these scripts have become a significantly increasing attack vector for cybercriminals—putting user data and businesses at risk. From the infamous British Airways breach to the recent Kaiser Permanente incident (and many more in between), the consequences of failing to secure these code vulnerabilities aren’t for the faint of heart.

In this Dev Innovation Summit session, we’ll dive deep into the unique challenges posed by the third-party code scripts that run behind the scenes in your user’s browsers. You’ll gain a technical understanding of how exactly these attacks occur and why they’ve been so difficult to monitor and secure. Through real-world examples and case studies, the talk will explore the tactics hackers employ to exploit these code vulnerabilities.

KEYNOTE (Dev Innovation): Enhancing Developer Experience Through Automated Platform Engineering and DevOps

Thursday November 7, 2024 10:00am - 10:50am PST

Dev Innovation Summit -- Main Stage

Venkatesh Kunchenapalli, Senior Devops and Infrastructure Engineer

In the rapidly evolving landscape of software development, the pressure on development teams to deliver high-quality applications swiftly is ever-increasing. This scenario often burdens developers with undifferentiated tasks, hindering their productivity and focus on core application development. Platform engineering, facilitated by Internal Developer Portals (IDP), presents a strategic approach to alleviating these challenges by automating infrastructure management and providing pre-configured tools and environments.
Venkatesh Kunchenapalli's experience at Wipro, USA, has demonstrated significant enhancements in developer efficiency through the adoption of IDPs. This paper discusses the implementation of a self-service platform that automatically provisions GitHub repositories, CI/CD pipelines, and cloud infrastructure using templates tailored for various project types such as Java, Node.js, and Python. The automated setup includes comprehensive workflows for Terraform, Docker, and Kubernetes, ensuring environments are ready for immediate use.
Key findings from our internal evaluations reveal a substantial improvement in productivity, with a 40-50% reduction in manual hours required for project setups, directly translating to an increase in the speed of application delivery. For instance, web application development saw man-hours reduced from 200 to 120, achieving a 40% productivity gain. Similarly, API service projects noted a 50% reduction, from 160 to 80 man-hours.
Further, the introduction of IDPs has led to a notable increase in developer satisfaction, with survey results showing an improvement from 60 to 85 out of 100, marking a 42% increase in developer contentment post-implementation. These enhancements are supported by a robust support system that addresses issues through data-driven insights and proactive template updates, ensuring the IDP remains effective and relevant.
This paper underscores the critical role of platform engineering in modern software development by demonstrating how it can significantly enhance developer experience and operational efficiency, thereby fostering faster and more effective application development cycles.

PRO SESSION (Dev Innovation): Building Connected AI Agents - Web Scraping vs API Integrations

Thursday November 7, 2024 11:00am - 11:25am PST

Dev Innovation Summit -- Main Stage

Iddo Gino, Lunar, Advisor & Investor

With the AI craze taking over the world, a race is on to develop capable autonomous AI agents. For these agents to offer meaningful capabilities - they need to integrate with the outside world to get access to current information and be able to take actions on behalf of users. Two common approaches battle on for this - creating API integrations and using screen scraping. Each approach has advantages and risks - this session will introduce both approaches in depth, provide real world technical examples, and discuss when to choose which one!

PRO SESSION (Dev Innovation): Embracing Rust for Java and TypeScript Developers

Thursday November 7, 2024 2:00pm - 2:25pm PST

Dev Innovation Summit -- Main Stage

Ramnivas Laddad, Exograph, Co-Founder

Rust has been the most loved programming language for the past eight years, as highlighted by StackOverflow's developer survey. Its acclaim is backed by adoption from tech giants like Microsoft, Google, and Meta. Rust's blend of expressiveness, performance, safety, and fearless concurrency makes it ideal for multi-core CPUs. Additionally, Rust's ability to compile into WebAssembly enables seamless execution in browsers and edge computing environments.

Mastering Rust can be challenging, especially for developers with a background in non-system languages. Adopting Rust with the right mindset and suitable projects is crucial for a smooth transition and successful implementation.

In this talk, we will explore Rust's core principles and provide practical guidance for developers experienced in Java, TypeScript, and like languages. We will highlight projects where Rust excels, offering high value with minimal risk.
