One of the greatest challenges to developing an API is ensuring that it lasts. After all, you don’t want to have to release and manage multiple versions of your API just because you weren’t expecting users to use it a certain way, or didn’t think ahead far enough down the roadmap. In this session I’ll talk about the challenge of API longevity, as well as ways to increase your API lifecycle, including the proper mindset, careful design, agile user experience and prototyping, best design practi...

In the last few years, application security has been forced to reinvent itself due to the advent of cloud, containerization, agile, DevOps, and other modern development technology and process improvements. The old ways of doing application security are phasing out with the new approach being embedded into the fabric of how we build software. However, sometimes with innovation comes confusion.

In this session we will talk about the different types of modern web application security approaches...

A high-performance site doesn't necessarily need every query optimized and every asset compressed and minimized. With this one weird tip, you'll learn to quickly deal with the Thundering Herd problem and avoid the consternation that comes when you first have to deal with tens of thousands of hits per second (millions of hits per day).

In this session I'll explain how to configure NGINX as a page cache that uses stale content to avoid many of the problems that arise when first having to deal ...

IBM has partnered with NGINX to improve performance, scalability and resiliency of Web applications. Come hear why POWER8 is a better platform for running Web applications leveraging NGINX. A technical overview of the key Power Systems performance and RAS features will be presented. Two solution areas IBM is exploiting NGINX will be discussed:

-- LAMP

-- Java Docker Deployment

LAMP stacks are ubiquitous in the online environment. IBM has teamed up with key partners – Canonical, ZEND, MariaD...

This session is a detailed look at what Expedia has learned from using NGINX to ease the migration of applications to the cloud. Specifically, I'll examine how to avoid "knife-edge" cutovers by building resiliency into your migration strategy and adding a fail-safe for migrated applications during the cutover. I'll share:

-- Design patterns and code that show how to migrate traffic without a knife-edge cutover

-- How to use health checks across regions to make your migration more resilient...
