Amber Migrating from a legacy to next-gen observability platform in a live environmentAt eBay, we have been using different versions of the same central observability platform for ~15 years. The teams at eBay rely heavily on this platform to observe their applications and infrastructure. This platform is so deeply ingrained into our applications and systems that it is non-trivial to replace it. As the team managing this central platform, it is our responsibility to maintain, enhan… more

Kayalvizhi NoorulAmeen All the way from Data Centre to CloudMigrating to a cloud from data centre is both thrilling and challenging. It is exciting because we learn a lot of cool stuff and is challenging as the actual process of migrating to the cloud is often difficult to handle. Cloud migration is not hassle provided the strategies are properly laid out. In this session, I am going to focus on more

Tarun Garg Looking "Beyond" B-Tree indexing for performance optimizationsWhen thinking about optimizations in SQL queries, we often only think about changing the structure of SQL queries, avoiding joins or implementing B-tree indexing, but the truth of the matter is they only work up to a certain extent. As they say in programming, there is no silver bullet for everything. more

Annanay Agarwal They See Me Tracin' They Hatin'Tracing is a widely adopted solution to provide performance insights into distributed applications. However, since most of the traces in a healthy application look almost alike, storing all traces from an application can often be overkill, and can increase the operational cost. Sampling is a good method to throttle down and store representative traces, but in most implementations, the sampling de… more

Gurshabad Grover How India Censors The WebOne of the primary ways in which India engages in online censorship is by ordering Internet Service Providers (ISPs) operating in its jurisdiction to block access to certain websites for its users. This paper reports the different techniques Indian ISPs are using to censor websites, and investigates whether website blocklists are consistent across ISPs. We propose a suite of tests that prove more… more

Gaurav Chaware Microservices Authorization with Open Policy AgentAuthorization is the key challenge in a microservices architecture. For each API call, users need to be authenticated and authorized. While authentication can be taken care of centrally at the API gateway layer, authorization is left for each microservice. Each microservice will need to validate the user permissions and the entity it is trying to access. Problem of course is to ensure decoupled a… more
