Welcome, Serversiders!

Serversiders, in association with Atlassian Engineering Nights, is a community of developers working on server-side applications, primarily in statically-typed languages, such as Java, Go, Kotlin, Rust and others.

Many groups focus on specific languages or frameworks. We understand that most real-world systems are built with a combination of related tools, so we aim to give people working on web backends, APIs and platforms a forum to discuss topics spanning multiple technologies.

Hunting Bugs with AFL Fuzzing

Fuzzing is an automatic software testing technique especially successful when applied to software that parses inputs such as JSON or XML requests or large packages of software, such as kernels. Fuzzing has already found big CVEs in common software such as OpenSSL, tcpdump, ext4, bash... In this talk we will explain what fuzzing consists of and how American Fuzzy Lop (AFL) works, which is one of the most used fuzzers.

The Journey of Scaling a Critical Backend Context Store

This talk covers the journey Atlassian made with its “tenant context service”, which is responsible for serving things like database creds, hostname resolution and various other pieces of metadata needed for all Jira / Confluence cloud requests. We’ll start with the early designs, and what triggers made us evolve the design to the point we can know serve 4 billion requests per day with six 9s of reliability and p99 < 1ms.
