Business logic • Hard problem! • Multiple DB lookups •
Wait for operator confirmation • Critical path 20

Pure FRP is useless • Weird language - (ELM anyone?)
• Fixed signal flow • Strictly no side-effects 26
Dirty FRP is awesome 27 • Weird language • Python
• Fixed signal flow • Attacks come and go, but patterns fixed • Strictly no side-effects • Dynamic "subscriptions", but idempotent
Prior art - Trellis 28

Gatelogic! 30 https://github.com/cloudflare/gatelogic
Gatelogic • Input - ReadableHub • update(full_data) • Processing -
ComputableHub • maintain(key, function) • unmaintain • Subscriptions - QueryHub • update(full_data) 31
32 { '00001': {ip:'1.2.3.4', port: 80, domain: 'bar.com', '00002': {ip:'1.2.3.5',
port: 80, domain: 'foo.com', ... } Input data - a dict
33 ReadableHub update { 'attack1': 'example.com', ... } update()
34 ComputableHub def on_hook(_, kind, k, row): if kind ==
'add': mitigations.maintain(k, action, row) if kind == 'delete': mitigations.unmaintain(k) subscribe(readable, on_hook) def action(row): return None 34 ReadableHub
35 OutputHub ComputableHub ?
36 OutputHub ComputableHub ReadableHub QueryHub ? database
37 OutputHub ComputableHub ReadableHub QueryHub X X X X X
X Materialized
38 def action(row, plan_hub, subdomain_hub, toggle_hub): domain = row.value if
not domain: return None if toggle_hub.get('all_mitigations_disabled').value != 'True': return None qps = 100 if plan_hub.get(domain).value in ('business', 'b'): qps = 500 sd = (subdomain_hub.get(domain).value or '').split(' ') mitigation = \ domain + \ ' --qps=%s ' % qps + \ ' '.join('--except=%s' % s for s in sd) return mitigation
It works! • Solid foundation! • Composable! • Scalable •
Maintainable • But: • no event loop • lacks higher-order abstractions 39
