Lazy Evaluation: stop wasting memory and time

Speaker:
Juozas Kaziukenas

Processing one billion database rows doesn’t need to kill your web server. Really, it doesn’t. Applying lazy evaluation ideas you can make your scripts handle as much data as there exists, never using more memory than one unit’s size (for example a database row). Using clever iterators, cursors and streams I’ll show you how you [...]

Get’em in shape: let customers appreciate the agile workflow

Speaker:
Stefano Maraspin

Estimating costs in a software project is always difficult. In particular, within the realm of web applications, blindly relying on estimates can not only be difficult, but also detrimental to the success of a project itself (we’ll see why). Nevertheless, customers (be them small or big) expect to know development costs in advance. They just [...]

Io cache, tu database

Speaker:
Daniel Londero

In contesti in cui l’ordine di misura delle grandezze è il milione una piccola modifica permette facilmente di risparmiare milioni di operazioni con benefici per tutti: infrastruttura, utente, developer, cliente.
