This workshop will show you how to build a high-performance social network backend based on the open source Neo4j graph database. We will investigate the implementation of a small but working social network backend with simple but powerful APIs to find paths between people and analyze the social graph. Finally, we will show how it outperforms a relational backend by a factor of 1000x or more.

Creating "free" web services will require more than just making web services using AGPL licensed software. We'll need trusted providers, protections around how data can be used and all the social aspects that the current web services have. We now have several free and open web services. Come hear what people are doing to define and create "free" web services. We need you!

Your QA cycle is broken and unit tests aren't enough to fix it. QA takes too long, is too error prone, and never covers as much as we need. To really do QA right, you need automated integration and acceptance testing tools like Cucumber. In this talk, we'll discuss why automated integration testing is a necessity, how you can do it, and why your coworkers and boss will thank you for it.

Production services need to stay up, which means that there is low tolerance for downtime in the face of instability, and perhaps even less for debugging during root-cause analysis. Gimli presents an automated process supervisor and fault analyzer that creates human readable fault traces and re-spawns a downed process. Gimli is intended to reduce time and effort during fault analysis.

This talk will be about what's happening in testing. The general argument is that we're moving away from testing units towards testing functionality through integration testing.
