We shape the web, and the web shapes us - Joomladay Brussels 2022

Web technology has shaped Joomla in many different ways over the past 2 decades and in return Joomla, as a tool, has had a great impact on how we build the web. Like music, Joomla is an instrument that humankind has developed — intuitively and naturally. It helps us to overcome our obstacles, to overcome the things we call limitations, because we have a vision, that we deeply want to see fulfilled or a trouble making problem that needs to be solved.

The story of Joomla has been told many times before, the fork..., the start of a strong community driven project, ... this talk is not about that. Instead

Johan Janssens, Joomla Co-Founder will look back to the very humble beginnings to try and define the key challenges, technologies and ideas that helped us shape Joomla, and from there look forward to what could shape Joomla’s future in the next 10 years.

This talk is for anyone interested in helping to shape Joomla, and in trying to answer: What do we as a community want to solve and build next and how will it shape us and the world we want to live in?

1. http://www.joomlatools.com/developer @joomlatools We shape the web, and the web shapes us.
 A story about how an idea I had a year ago.
3. Standing on the shoulders of giants https://www.everythingisaremix.info
4. ARPANET, the fi rst computer network https://spectrum.ieee.org/todays-internet-still-relies-on-an-arpanetera-protocol-the-request-for-comments
5. In 1969 Thomas Merrill and Lawrence Roberts created the first computer network called ARPANET. The network consisted of three devices: one at the University of Utah, one at the Standford Research Institute, and one at the University of California. Today they are considered the first hosting in the world. When ARPANET started to use the TCP/IP protocol they changed the name from ARPANET into Internet.
6. There are over 1 billion sites on the Internet: blogs, commercial sites, presentation sites, government sites and more, all dedicated to easier communication between people and all using a web hosting service. Thus, with the basics of solid web hosting, even in 2020 to have a functional site you must meet three basic conditions: • Have a hosting service • Have a domain on the internet • Create a website.
7. 1991, the www is born ….
8. 1990, the fi rst web server
9. The first web page went live on August 6, 1991. It was dedicated to information on the World Wide Web project and was made by Tim Berners-Lee. It ran on a NeXT computer at the European Organization for Nuclear Research, CERN. The first web page address was http://info.cern.ch/hypertext/WWW/ TheProject.html.

11. 1989, the GPL is released
12. The GPL is not just a legal document, it’s much more, it’s a creativity manifesto embracing and perpetuating the idea that everything is a 
 remix through the freedom of use, study modify and copy it provides.
13. 1991, Linus Torvalds creates Linux
14. “Linux took a rather more pragmatic approach to the code sharing notion - using the GPL, by believing in it as an engineering choice and as a way to allow people to improve and share rather than as a moral imperative” — Linux Torvalds
15. Linux distros …
16. Linux distros …
17. The LAMP stack
18. 1995, Apache released
19. Originally based on the NCSA HTTPd server, development of Apache began in early 1995 after work on the NCSA code stalled. Apache played a key role in the initial growth of the World Wide Web, quickly overtaking NCSA HTTPd as the dominant HTTP server. In 2009, it became the first web server software to serve more than 100 million websites.
20. 1995, MySQL released….
21. MySQL was created by a Swedish company, MySQL AB, founded by Swedes David Axmark, Allan Larsson and Finland Swede Michael "Monty" Widenius. Original development of MySQL by Widenius and Axmark began in 1994. The first version of MySQL appeared on 23 May 1995.
22. 1995, PHP/FI is announced….
23. PHP development began in 1994 when Rasmus Lerdorf wrote several Common Gateway Interface (CGI) programs in C, which he used to maintain his personal homepage. He extended them to work with web forms and to communicate with databases, and called this implementation "Personal Home Page/Forms Interpreter" or PHP/FI. 
 
 PHP/FI could be used to build simple, dynamic web applications. To accelerate bug reporting and improve the code, Lerdorf initially announced the release of PHP/FI as "Personal Home Page Tools (PHP Tools) version 1.0”.
24. Webhosting
25. GeoCities offered 1 MB disk space, Tripod – 2 MB, while Angelfire offered 35 KB with their plans. These values appear laughable now, but back then sites were usually pure text/html and didn't need lots of space. With the rising popularity of rich media websites nowadays, hosting plans providing 100 GB.
26. Shared hosting uses only 1% of Linux true potential.
27. A custom LA(M)P stack
28. Going cloud native with Joomla
29. 2013, Docker released…. https://firecracker-microvm.github.io/
30. Docker was created by Solomon Hykes and first released in 2013. Docker is an open source containerization platform. It enables developers to package applications into containers—standardized executable components combining application source code with the operating system (OS) libraries and dependencies required to run that code in any environment. In Linux Docker uses OverlayFS, union mount filesystem developed in 2009 and merged in the Kernel in 2014. It was improved in version 4.0, bringing improvements necessary for e.g. the overlay2 storage driver for Docker. https://www.docker.com/
31. 2013, Docker released….
32. Firecracker is a VMM (Virtual Machine Manager), announced in 2018 and built by developers at Amazon Web Services to enable services such as AWS Lambda and AWS Fargate. It’s one of AWS first true OS projects. At AWS re:Invent 2018 Amazon announced the release of Firecracker, an open source virtualization technology that is purpose-built for "creating and managing secure, multi-tenant containers and functions-based services". Firecracker is a fork of Chromium OS's Virtual Machine Monitor (crosvm), an open source VMM written in Rust, and the technology is used behind the scenes to power Amazon's AWS Fargate and AWS Lambda services. https:// fi recracker-microvm.github.io/
33. 2020, Fly.io https:// fl y.io/
34. Introducing Joomlatools Server A cloud native LA(M)P stack and web application server, for local development, and/or production deployment either using Docker or Firecracker. 
 
 Offers out of the box support for Fly.io, allowing to deploy a Joomla site in less than 5min. Comes with batteries includes: • OpenMetrics / Grafana support • OpenTracing / Sentry support • Build in HTTP API to manage the server remotely
35. Joomlatools Server - Architecture Joomlatools Server can run multiple sites and Linux services as a multi-process Docker container. 
 
 Custom services are build in PHP with OpenSwoole. Compared with other async programming frameworks or software such as Node.js, Go, Python, ... Open Swoole is a complete async solution that has built-in support for async programming via coroutines.
