Security

I’m honored to be presenting at BSides Edmonton on November 25, 2022. I’ll be demoing rate limiting using nginx and Fail2Ban. You can find the demo here in-case you want to follow along during the demo or you want a preview/spoiler.

While I’m honored to be presenting, my hope is to learn more than I impart. I’m looking forward to chatting and learning from you, my fellow BSides Edmonton 2022 speakers and attendees. I enjoy discussing securing small to medium sized business, legacy code, software development best practices, games, or anything remotely technology or software related.

A client has an online store that is powered by an older version of Spree. I’m in the process of upgrading it and adding features to it at the same time. It’s a slow process as upgrading to newer versions of Spree, which also requires upgrading Ruby and Rails, is no easy task.

One customization the customer has is a delayed job that fires when a order is complete. The delayed job preforms some tasks that can take a while hence why they are done in a separate process after the order is completed.
