Summit 2017: From 1x to 10x - A personal growth program... / Avi Etzioni & Sivan Franko

In Oribi, we put a lot of emphasize on helping employees grow and improve. This comes from an understanding that the world is evolving every second and if we, as people, don't evolve with it we'll become irrelevant. We believe that step by step gradual improvement of each individual will have an insane accumulated value for the team . In this talk we will share with you our two employee growth programs

Summit 2017: Wikipedia's Democratic Structure / Agam Rafaeli

Wikipedia is the de facto single source of truth for many domains in our life. The mechanisms that edit Wikipedia are mysterious at best and spoken of as evil by general media at worst. In my talk I'd like to outline the democratic, open and scientific structure of the peer-review editing process of Wikipedia. My talk will cover the bare metal rules of voting and editing customs and expectations. I'd like to give examples of the uglier sides of the current landscape as well as some points for hope. I'd like to conclude the talk by inviting everyone present to make their first edit during the talk.

328 The tension between Agility and Ownership

אורי ורן משוחחים עם יונתן ממן סמנכ"ל הפיתוח באוטבריין, על בעלות (ownership) ,מהירות פיתוח ומה שביניהם. ההתפתחות מ "זה שלך ואתה אחראי עליו לגמרי" ownership 1.0, כולל ריצה שדרוג ניטור והכל.

אפשרות אחרת היא מודל שכולל NOC –צוות שאחראי על הקוד אחרי שהותקן, אבל זה לא משתלב טוב במיוחד עם CI/CD.

איך זה מתחבר לצוותים הבנוים לפי תחום.

מה הבעיות שעולות מהמודל הנוכחי, ואיך פותרים  את זה באוטבריין

הקובץ נמצא כאן, האזנה נעימה ותודה רבה לקטי על התמלול

Summit 2017: Baptism By Fire - why production issues make you a better developer / Adi Belan

As developers, we are constantly focused on writing elegant and cutting edge code, however, meaningful code lives 99% of it's life in production, away from our prying eyes looking at an IDE screen. in the span of those 99%, issues are bound to arise and someone will have to deal with them (probably at 3 AM after a pagerduty call). 3 years of being on the on-call rotation for mission critical services at AppsFlyer have taught me some hard lessons, but made me a better developer along the way. in this session i'll describe how we should approach production issues as developers and how it makes us (much) better coders.

Summit 2017: Redis Modules and The Joy of specificity / Adam Lev Libfeld

Redis is a high throughput key-value store, but in order to provide high performance the designers had to leave out a lot of user specific features. In Redis 4.0 modules were introduces to the comunity - A way for users to add custom functionalities to the fastest data store available. With Redis Labs operating mainly from Israel Tel Aviv has become the source of many great modules implementing functionalities as complex as neural networks of as simple as improved comment syntax.

Summit 2017: Cheat, Scale, Win / Adam Lev Libfeld

The truth is that you can’t handle the truth. No system can. Cheating in large computer systems, just like white lies around the holidays, is inevitable. We live in a constantly changing universe too dense and volatile for a mere computer system to generate a perfect response. So we cheat, but it’s for the common good. It is crucial for any engineer to be able to separate the absolute “scientific” truth from the facts that serve the cause and have functional value for the system she is building. Failing to do so would inevitably result in an over-engineered, slow, unscalable and unmaintainable system.

Summit 2017: Detection of malicious footprints in large scale DNS traffic / Ada Sharoni

In the world of Phishing and malware attacks, hackers face many obstacles which they can only outsmart via sophisticated, often twisted methods. Furthermore, today’s large scale cyber campaigns require complex communication infrastructure with thousands of infected machines. DNS is a corner stone of the internet and as such is likely to contain unique footprints of such communication, seemingly concealed in the overall traffic. It is a great challenge to scrutinize and filter these anomalies - like a needle in a haystack. In this lecture we will discuss some of the challenges we tackled and how we solved them using big data and behavioral analysis tools.
