    Without Lamp - Presentation Transcript

    1. Without LAMP [and its kick-a** community] Innovation Will Die !

    3. Without LAMP [and its kick-a** community] The Enterprise Will propose and review operational needs/company budgets, evaluate cost of license TCO, deployment requirements and potential risks, and determine that it is less costly to nothing instead since needs will change, technology will evolve, and someone will quit by the time the budget is approved.
    4. so maybe I’m kidding, but one set of facts that I can stand behind are…
    5. Without LAMP change:healthcare Would Not have… begun developed integrated scaled … Quite Frankly, we would not exist

    7. When I initially began to evaluate and ask healthcare Enterprise-insiders about platform options…
    8. For application development, the high-end “superplatforms” like Microsoft, SAP, IBM, Oracle, and BEA are the only risk-minimal choices. Stick to industry standards like J2EE or .NET

    10. And so we ignored industry! … and instead choose a LAMP stack to develop, build, grow and scale upon. And it is good.
    11. Who We Are… A simple, easy-to-use, and confidential web-app that works 24/7 helping people save money and make informed healthcare spending decisions.
    12. (how we do it)… Aggregate insurance claims, find the best pricing available in an employer’s network and make recommendations to each employee that are always: • Easy to understand • Actionable • Relevant to User
    13. (what we did it with…) • Red Hat Enterprise Server v5.* • mysql databases • Apache serving http/https Mongrel handles dispatching requests to apache Our application runs on Ruby and Rails Talend used for data ETL magic Data warehouse mods via Pentaho/Kettle
    14. 3 Facts
    15. Fact 1… I couldn't have bootstrapped the platform, tools, and infrastructure necessary to get the company rolling without open source software.
    16. Fact 2… Raw claims data, proprietary formats that seem to defy normalization. Were able to use open source tools to come up with a “meaningful/flexible" schema that contained everything we could possibly need in our application, then modify from virtually any format to fit this schema. As we encountered scaling/performance issues, we were able to quickly find solutions to scale broad integration + normalization/matching algorithms from 100 claims per min to 6,000 per min.
    17. Fact 3… Twitter-bot Built using the twitter api and two open sourced ruby gems. Having these open source solutions available allowed us to get a prototype running in 1 week. Without these open source solutions (as well as Twitter's open API) it would have taken 20x of dev time to accomplish the same result.
    18. Something that can't be overstated: open source is about the community If you have a problem either a) someone has encountered it before and you can find the solution easily or b) someone will help you problem-solve via the community Everyone in the open source community believes in an unwritten mantra of mutual collaboration and contribution.
