Agile Big Data Analytics Development: An Architecture-Centric ApproachSoftServe
Presented at The Hawaii International Conference on System Sciences by Hong-Mei Chen and Rick Kazman (University of Hawaii), Serge Haziyev (SoftServe).
Architecting Agile Data Applications for ScaleDatabricks
Data analytics and reporting platforms historically have been rigid, monolithic, hard to change and have limited ability to scale up or scale down. I can’t tell you how many times I have heard a business user ask for something as simple as an additional column in a report and IT says it will take 6 months to add that column because it doesn’t exist in the datawarehouse. As a former DBA, I can tell you the countless hours I have spent “tuning” SQL queries to hit pre-established SLAs. This talk will talk about how to architect modern data and analytics platforms in the cloud to support agility and scalability. We will include topics like end to end data pipeline flow, data mesh and data catalogs, live data and streaming, performing advanced analytics, applying agile software development practices like CI/CD and testability to data applications and finally taking advantage of the cloud for infinite scalability both up and down.
Operational Analytics Using Spark and NoSQL Data StoresDATAVERSITY

Understanding DataOps and Its Impact on Application QualityDevOps.com
Modern day applications are data driven and data rich. The infrastructure your backends run on are a critical aspect of your environment, and require unique monitoring tools and techniques. In this webinar learn about what DataOps is, and how critical good data ops is to the integrity of your application. Intelligent APM for your data is critical to the success of modern applications. In this webinar you will learn:
The power of APM tailored for Data Operations
The importance of visibility into your data infrastructure
How AIOps makes data ops actionable
Modern data processing environments resemble factory lines, transforming raw data to valuable data products. The lean principles that have successfully transformed manufacturing are equally applicable to data processing, and are well aligned with the new trend known as DataOps. In this presentation, we will explain how applying lean and DataOps principles can be implemented as technical data processing solutions and processes in order to eliminate waste and improve data innovation speed. We will go through how to eliminate the following types of waste in data processing systems:
* Cognitive waste - unclear source of truth, dependency sprawl, duplication, ambiguity.
* Operational waste - overhead for deployment, upgrades, and incident recovery.
* Delivery waste - friction and delay in development, testing, and deployment.
* Product waste - misalignment to business value, detach from use cases, push driven development, vanity quality assurance.
We will primarily focus on technical solutions, but some of the waste mentioned requires organisational refactoring to eliminate.
Presentation of my talk given in Phoenix Data Conference 2019. In this we will look at challenges with current Apache Hadoop ecosystem
Apache Hadoop is still relevant but way of doing Hadoop and enterprise data architecture has to be re-looked as we enter Cognitive and Cloud Native Era
We need
Architecture that is enabled by common run time layer across on premise and cloud
Architecture that can abstract away dependency and version conflicts with tons of open source machine learning out there. Yarn did not scale up in that aspect until one want to deal with multiple conda environment
Architecture that can enable real Hybrid Cloud and Multi Cloud portability
And many more challenges that one has to overcome to keep architecture simple, infrastructure agile and better utilized

Most Big Data discussions focus on analytics, but business users need more than that. They need speed, because most opportunities these days are transient and must be acted on quickly. Bottlenecks in the delivery of analytic results often occur on the gathering and transformation side, where massive volumes of data must be validated, converted, masked or otherwise transformed before hitting the analytics engine. Big Data is rapidly overrunning conventional approaches, creating requirements for accelerated, hybrid systems.
Register for this episode of the Briefing Room to hear veteran IT Analyst Dr. Robin Bloor, as he explains how a combination of innovations is dramatically changing how companies can solve serious data transformation challenges. Robin will be briefed by Ron Indeck of VelociData, who will tout their record-breaking data operations appliance.

Data Lake vs. Data Warehouse: Which is Right for Healthcare?Health Catalyst
The data lake style of a data warehouse architecture is a flexible alternative to a traditional data warehouse. It allows for unstructured data. When a warehousing approach requires that the data be in a structured format, there are constraints on the analyses that can be performed because not all of the data can be structured early. The data lake concept is very similar to our Late-Binding approach in that data lakes are our source marts. We increase the efficiency and effectiveness of these through: 1. Metadata, 2. Source Mart Designer, and 3. Subject Area Mart Designer.

Effective Application Security in Software Delivery lifecycle using Deployment Firewall and DBOM
The modern software delivery process (or the CI/CD process) includes many tools, distributed teams, open-source code, and cloud platforms. Constant focus on speed to release software to market, along with the traditional slow and manual security checks has caused gaps in continuous security as an important piece in the software supply chain. Today organizations feel more susceptible to external and internal cyber threats due to the vast attack surface in their applications supply chain and the lack of end-to-end governance and risk management.
The software team must secure its software delivery process to avoid vulnerability and security breaches. This needs to be achieved with existing tool chains and without extensive rework of the delivery processes. This talk will present strategies and techniques for providing visibility into the true risk of the existing vulnerabilities, preventing the introduction of security issues in the software, resolving vulnerabilities in production environments quickly, and capturing the deployment bill of materials (DBOM).

Connector Corner: Automate dynamic content and events by pushing a buttonDianaGray10
Here is something new! In our next Connector Corner webinar, we will demonstrate how you can use a single workflow to:
Create a campaign using Mailchimp with merge tags/fields
Send an interactive Slack channel message (using buttons)
Have the message received by managers and peers along with a test email for review
But there’s more:
In a second workflow supporting the same use case, you’ll see:

Kubernetes & AI - Beauty and the Beast !?! @KCD Istanbul 2024Tobias Schneck
As AI technology is pushing into IT I was wondering myself, as an “infrastructure container kubernetes guy”, how get this fancy AI technology get managed from an infrastructure operational view? Is it possible to apply our lovely cloud native principals as well? What benefit’s both technologies could bring to each other?
Let me take this questions and provide you a short journey through existing deployment models and use cases for AI software. On practical examples, we discuss what cloud/on-premise strategy we may need for applying it to our own infrastructure to get it to work from an enterprise perspective. I want to give an overview about infrastructure requirements and technologies, what could be beneficial or limiting your AI use cases in an enterprise environment. An interactive Demo will give you some insides, what approaches I got already working for real.
