DevOps patterns to scale web applications using cloud services

SPLASH '13 Proceedings / ACM October 26, 2013

Authors: Daniel Cukier

Scaling a web applications can be easy for simple CRUD software running when you use Platform as a

Service Clouds (PaaS). But if you need to deploy a complex software, with many components and a lot users,

you will need have a mix of cloud services in PaaS, SaaS and IaaS layers. You will also need knowledge in

architecture patterns to make all these software components communicate accordingly. In this article, weshare our experience of using cloud services to scale a web application. We show usage examples of load

balancing, session sharing, e-mail delivery, asynchronous processing, logs processing, monitoring,

continuous deployment, realtime user monitoring (RUM). These are a mixture of development and system

operations (DevOps) that improved our application availability, scalability and performance.

The Artist in the Computer Scientist - More Humanity to our Research

Onward! 2011 October 22, 2011

Authors: Daniel Cukier, Joseph Yoder

Art and Science are usually seen as quite distinct tasks andnot supportive of each other

or similar at all. Isnt art all

about creativity and abstract beauty, while computer sci-ence is about logic, truths and problem solving? Can

thesetwo practices really be related in any way? Our primaryobjective is to show the benefits of arts to

software devel-opment. First we reflect on the concept of how Art andScience are similar. Then we report our

thoughts about therelation of different types of art to Computer Science suchas theater, music, painting, and

poetry.

Extending Patterns for Fearless Change

PLoP 11 October 1, 2011

Authors: Daniel Cukier, Fabio Kon

The software industry is very dynamic and new ideas arise all the time from virtually any part of the world. It

is not guaranteed that theseideas will be adopted, mainly because, among other obstacles, the solution may

imply on having people change their way of thinking. Differentfrom people, computers receive well de#ned

commands and execute them precisely. We should take into account that human beings areindependent and

unpredictable. Despite this unpredictability, we can #nd some behavioral patterns to help us deal with several

situations,allowing us to achieve our objectives.

In this paper, after a small introduction to the Patterns for Introducing New Ideas proposed by Mary Lynn

Manns and Linda Rising, we proposefour new patterns that can be added to the original catalog. In one of

these new patterns, we show the great importance of combining artisticactivities with day-to-day activities of

people who work with software development and how Arts can help us to introduce new ideas. The studyof

some practices such as theater, painting, poetry, music, and meditation allowed us to #nd some connective

elements between the purelymathematical side of the human mind and its creative, artistic one. Software

development should be approached as a human activity, ratherthan a solely technical or logical one

Padres para introduzir novas ideias na indstria de software

Tese de mestrado May 20, 2009

Authors: Daniel Cukier, Fabio Kon

A indstria de software muito dinmica e novas ideias surgem a todo instante em todas as partes do mundo.

Nem sempre fcil fazer com que essas ideias sejam adotadas, pois, para isso, preciso fazer as pessoas

mudarem sua forma de pensar. Deve-se sempre considerar o fato de que o ser humano, diferente do

computador, inusitado e imprevisvel. Apesar disso, podemos encontrar determinados padres de

comportamento, que no resolvem todas as questes, mas ajudam a lidar com situaes e continuar

caminhando para atingir um determinado objetivo. Trazemos nesta dissertao uma pequena introduo sobreo conceito de padres e, em seguida, apresentamos 48 Padres para Introduzir Novas Ideias, propostos por

Linda Rising e Mary Lynn Manns. Esses Padres tm o objetivo de ajudar na difcil tarefa de introduzir uma

nova ideia dentro de alguma organizao, pois se essa ideia pressupe mudanas culturais, o trabalho ainda

mais complicado. Propomos tambm quatro novos padres, que podem ser incorporados ao catlogo original.

Num desses novos padres, mostramos a importncia de se usar atividades artsticas no dia-a-dia de pessoas

que trabalham com desenvolvimento de software; mostramos tambm como a Arte pode nos ajudar a

introduzir novas ideias. Pesquisamos algumas prticas como teatro, pintura, poesia, msica e meditao.

Pudemos encontrar elementos de ligao entre o lado puramente matemtico e bem definido do ser humano e

o seu lado abstrato, analgico e artstico. Desenvolver software deve ser encarado como uma atividadehumana, acima da questo tcnica e puramente lgica. Existem pessoas envolvidas no processo: as que usam

e as que criam o software. Existe uma barreira que separa os programadores das pessoas que usam o software.

Essa barreira pode ser quebrada se pessoas da Computao comearem a desenvolver, alm das habilidades

lgicas que j lhes so bvias, habilidades artsticas e de relaes humanas.

"Daniel inherited a large untested Java code base to work on, but in less than 2 years he and the team he

build: - Used agile (xp, scrum, pair-programming) practices. - Moved a high-traffic app from dedicatedhosting to Amazon AWS. - Built a continuous delivery process capable of deploying multiple times a day

(coming from a bi-weekly sloppy big-bang deploy). - Started turning the monolithic Java app into a systems

of systems architecture. It was an amazing time! Daniel stood up to this challenge with an easy-going mood

and passion for the job."
