Industry-ready NLP Service Framework Based on Kafka (Bernhard Waltl and Georg...confluent
Natural Language Processing (NLP) focuses on the analysis and understanding of textual information either in written or spoken form. In recent years, NLP technologies has become business critical due to the overwhelming and ever-increasing amount of textual information to get customer or business process insights, but also to empower novel user experience by creating dialogue-based digital assistants understanding customer language. In our talk, we will explore how NLP use cases significantly benefit from stream processing and event driven architectures. We will present the NLP Service Framework representing a stream processing framework using Kafka in which NLP tasks run as microservices orchestrated in pipelines to perform complex end-to-end services. In the NLP Service Framework, Kafka is being used to orchestrate data flows containing of all kinds of textual information in different topics related to specific use cases. Different Kafka Streams based processors subsequently call NLP services to analyze and annotate the textural information within the data flows. Various applications like search-based application based upon Elasticsearch and Kibana or analytical databases eventually consumes the textual information that is augmented with annotations and inferred results of the NLP Services. Two important requirements of the NLP Service Framework are efficient communication between different services using REST interfaces and interoperability among services implemented in different languages such as Java or Python. We implement the gRPC framework and use ProtoBuff as data format to ensure both requirements. This Kafka-based architecture enables us to specify domain-specific but isolated end-to-end NLP services and guarantees highly scalable and robust handling of high volume of textual data from different BMW domains along the value chain, including customer, process, and vehicle data.

"Impact of front-end architecture on development cost", Viktor TurskyiFwdays
I have heard many times that architecture is not important for the front-end. Also, many times I have seen how developers implement features on the front-end just following the standard rules for a framework and think that this is enough to successfully launch the project, and then the project fails. How to prevent this and what approach to choose? I have launched dozens of complex projects and during the talk we will analyze which approaches have worked for me and which have not.
