As cloud computing continues to evolve, talk of serverless computing is becoming more and more prominent. The problem is, that serverless or (functions as a service) requires a shift in thinking, as it can differ greatly from traditional computing offerings like physical servers, or a VPS. We have successfully made the switch at OpenFit, and our backend services are now running 100% in Lambda (AWS’ serverless offering). As a result we have developed some best practices and methodologies we want to share with you. In this talk we will discuss the particulars of serverless computing.

Since 2017, the Cities of LA and Santa Monica have been co-creating the Mobility Data Specification, an open source API spec that powers how the Cities permit operators such as Uber, Lyft, Bird, and Lime. This talk introduces the MDS, shows how we use it, and goes through how open source is powering new mobility.

New open source contributors often struggle to orient to a project’s processes and cadence, and Kubernetes is no different in this regard. Approaching such a large and dynamic project can be daunting. While a relative newcomer to the Kubernetes project, the speaker will draw from their experience to demonstrate ways other newcomers can grow as contributors through involvement in the release team.

This is a live demonstration of hacking with keystroke injection attacks. We will be taking advantage of the inherent trust that computers place on what is believed to be a regular keyboard to unleash pre-programmed keystroke payloads at well over 1000 words a minute. We then dissect an easily-sourced, low-cost hardware implant embedded in a standard, innocent-looking USB cable providing an attacker with even more capabilities, including geolocation.

This talk will focus on the integration of Consul and Kubernetes that enhances existing Kubernetes features rather than replace them. The talk will focus on how objects in Kubernetes can then discover and connect to non-Kubernetes services natively.

Facebook's MySQL deployment is somewhat unique with it's logtailers that use semi-synchronous replication to strike a balance between commit latency and data consistency. This talk will explain why we use it, how it is implemented and numerous edge cases that come with running it at scale.
