Inside the Layers, Metadata, and Security of Container Image
English session - Beginner
Containers run from images, and images are created by Dockerfiles. But what is a layer? And what ends up inside the image? What files and executables are added? And how does the base image affect all of this? What if I use a different base image? Container Images aren't a black box. Lets open them up, and create a few from scratch. We'll also discuss how image internals help us our manage supply-chain security for SBOMs.
The Bad Ideas that got a 100 Lighthouse Score
English session - Beginner
The (satire) dev news site globalGlob.dev was over-engineered to be fast, quick, performant, speedy, and to get a 100 Lighthouse score on most pages. That's at least 60 points higher than most of the internet. Engineering tradeoffs were made, like caching, compression, more caching, and compressed bundling.
We'll talk tradeoffs for performance, cost, and maximum Lighthouse. And why they were a horrible idea you should never do in a real project.
