NS1,

senior leaders of its engineering team will be presenting on software
development and infrastructure topics at the O’Reilly Velocity
conference on Tuesday and Wednesday, June 11 and 12, at the San Jose
McEnery Convention Center.

“Every day, our engineering team helps some of the world’s
highest-trafficked sites and largest global enterprises leverage modern
infrastructure to deliver more reliable, efficient and secure services
to their customers,” said Jonathan Sullivan, co-founder and CTO of NS1.
“Sharing the best practices we develop at NS1 and educating the industry
on what lessons we learn is critical to building the skilled workforce
we and our customers depend on.”

Christian Saide, lead engineer at NS1, will conduct a hands-on workshop
on DDoS
mitigation made easy with XDP and eBPF
on Tuesday, June 11, at 1:30
p.m. PT. The workshop will educate attendees on how these tools can help
manage unwanted network traffic and teach them the skills needed to
properly leverage XDP as a defense mechanism to protect their
mission-critical services and infrastructure.

Renee Orser, vice president of engineering at NS1, will speak about the
challenges enterprises face in delivering a software solution via
SaaS and on-premise
on Wednesday, June 12, at 3:50 p.m. PT. A recent
IDG Ones to Watch honoree, Orser will share NS1’s experience delivering
its leading DNS suite across deployment models and the significant
architectural, cultural and organizational design challenges teams must
overcome to do so.

A third session, led by Shannon Weyrick, vice president of architecture,
and Clare Gollnick, director of data science, of NS1, will focus on traffic
analysis strategies
for edge networks on Wednesday, June 12, at 4:45
p.m. PT. Moving beyond application-level metrics, the speakers will
touch on methods for traffic collection and analysis, and how to discern
the valuable information from the uninteresting noise. Attendees will
learn new strategies and technologies available to build a fully
distributed collection and analysis framework.

The O’Reilly Velocity Conference provides IT professionals with
real-world best practices for building, deploying, and running complex, distributed
applications and systems
. The event, which focuses this year on cloud-native
strategies
and technologies, provides engineering professionals the
opportunity to learn from their peers, exchange ideas with experts, and
share lessons learned from handling modern systems and applications.
