Big Data (volume) and real-time information processing (velocity) are two important aspects of Big Data systems. At first sight, these two aspects seem to be incompatible. Are traditional software architectures still the right choice? Do we need new, revolutionary architectures to tackle the requirements of Big Data. This presentation discusses the idea of the so-called lambda architecture for Big Data, which acts on the assumption of a bisection of the data-processing: in a batch-phase a temporally bounded, large dataset is processed either through traditional ETL or MapReduce. In parallel, a real-time, online processing is constantly calculating the values of the new data coming in during the batch phase. The combination of the two results, batch and online processing is giving the constantly up-to-date view. This talk presents how such an architecture can be implemented using Oracle products such as Oracle NoSQL, Hadoop and Oracle Event Processing.

This talk presents how such an architecture can be implemented using Oracle products such as Oracle NoSQL, Hadoop and Oracle Event Processing as well as some selected products from the Open Source Software community. While this session mostly focuses on the software architecture of BigData and FastData systems, some lessons learned in the implementation of such a system are presented as well.
Real Time Analytics with Apache Cassandra - Cassandra Day MunichGuido Schmutz
Time series data is everywhere: IoT, sensor data or financial transactions. The industry has moved to databases like Cassandra to handle the high velocity and high volume of data that is now common place. In this talk I will present how we have used Cassandra to store time series data. I will highlight both the Cassandra data model as well as the architecture we put in place for collecting and ingesting data into Cassandra, using Apache Kafka and Apache Storm.
Independent of the source of data, the integration of event streams into an Enterprise Architecture gets more and more important in the world of sensors, social media streams and Internet of Things. Events have to be accepted quickly and reliably, they have to be distributed and analysed, often with many consumers or systems interested in all or part of the events. Dependent on the size and quantity of such events, this can quickly be in the range of Big Data.
In this session an architecture with a central log structured storage is presented where anybody can store and subscribe for events. This can be implemented using frameworks such as Kafka, Storm, Samza and Spark Streaming.
Blueprints for the analysis of social mediaGuido Schmutz
Presentation about analysis of social media in near real-time using Open Source software such as Kafka, Storm, Cassandra Titan. The architecture presented is a Lambda Architecture, where the speed layer itself is implementing using a unfied log/message architecture with Kafka as the event bus.
Oracle Stream Explorer - Simplifying Event/Stream ProcessingGuido Schmutz
The announcement of the Oracle StreamXplorer was a major step forward for bringing event processing to the masses. It so much simplyfies the implementation of event processing solutions: any business analyst will be able to graphically and decleratively define event stream processing pipelines, without having to write a single line of code or CQL. Event Processing is no longer “complex”! This session will present what Oracle StreamXplorer is and how it simplifies the development of event processing solutions compared to the Event Processing framework of the Oracle SOA Suite.
It describe cloud infrastructure required for big data. It discusses the object storage and virtualization required for big data. Ceph is discussed as example.

This is Chris Dagdigian’s 10th year delivering his no holds barred, candid state of the industry address at BioIT World, and we are not going to let a pandemic stop him.
Instead of his typical talk, five distinguished panelists will join Chris for a spirited discussion on Current Events and Scientific Computing and the impacts of the COVID-19 Pandemic:
The rise of “Big Data” on cloud computing: Review and open research issues
Paper Link: https://www.researchgate.net/publication/264624667_The_rise_of_Big_Data_on_cloud_computing_Review_and_open_research_issues
In this document, we will present a very brief introduction to BigData (what is BigData?), Hadoop (how does Hadoop fits the picture?) and Cloudera Hadoop (what is the difference between Cloudera Hadoop and regular Hadoop?).
Please note that this document is for Hadoop beginners looking for a place to start.
How to Apply Machine Learning with R, H20, Apache Spark MLlib or PMML to Real...Kai Wähner
"Big Data" is currently a big hype. Large amounts of historical data are stored in Hadoop or other platforms. Business Intelligence tools and statistical computing are used to draw new knowledge and to find patterns from this data, for example for promotions, cross-selling or fraud detection. The key challenge is how these findings can be integrated from historical data into new transactions in real time to make customers happy, increase revenue or prevent fraud.
"Fast Data" via stream processing is the solution to embed patterns - which were obtained from analyzing historical data - into future transactions in real-time. This session uses several real world success stories to explain the concepts behind stream processing and its relation to Hadoop and other big data platforms. The session discusses how patterns and statistical models of R, Spark MLlib and other technologies can be integrated into real-time processing using open source frameworks (such as Apache Storm, Spark or Flink) or products (such as IBM InfoSphere Streams or TIBCO StreamBase). A live demo shows the complete development lifecycle combining analytics, machine learning and stream processing.
This was a 30 min talk intended as one of the opening/overview presentations before a full-day deep dive into ScienceDMZ design patterns and architectures.
Direct downloads are not enabled. Contact me directly (chris@bioteam.net) if you for some odd reason want a copy of this slide deck!
The talk presents the evolution of Big-Data systems from single-purpose MapReduce frameworks to fully general computational infrastructures. In particular, I will follow the evolution of Hadoop, and show the benefits and challenges of a new architectural paradigm that decouples the resource management component (YARN) from the specifics of the application frameworks (e.g., MapReduce, Tez, REEF, Giraph, Naiad, Dryad, Spark,...). We argue that beside the primary goals of increasing scalability and programming model flexibility, this transformation dramatically facilitates innovation.
In this context, I will present some of our contributions to the evolution of Hadoop (namely: work-preserving preemption, and predictable resource allocation), and comment on the fascinating experience of working on open- source technologies from within Microsoft. The current Hadoop APIs (HDFS and YARN) provide the cluster equivalent of an OS API. With this as a backdrop, I will present our attempt to create the equivalent of stdlib for the cluster: the REEF project.
Carlo A. Curino received a PhD from Politecnico di Milano, and spent two years as Post Doc Associate at CSAIL MIT leading the relational cloud project. He worked at Yahoo! Research as Research Scientist focusing on mobile/cloud platforms and entity deduplication at scale. Carlo is currently a Senior Scientist at Microsoft in the Cloud and Information Services Lab (CISL) where he is working on big-data platforms and cloud computing.
Part 2 of a 2 part presentation that I did in 2009, this presentation covers more about unstructured data, and operational data vault components. YES, even then I was commenting on how this market will evolve.

The data you need to manage isn’t getting smaller, or slower. It’s a snowball, compounding in both speed and volume. If you’re building applications on fast, streaming data, you need to analyze it, gain insight and take action on it now, not at the end of a batch job. Listen to Peter Vescuso discuss the lessons learned from an actual real fast data use case.

Die Zeiten einfacher Webanwendungen sind gezählt. Moderne Unternehmen stehen heute vor der Aufgabe, unterschiedlichste Kanäle wie Web, Desktop, Mobile oder 3rd-Party-Clients parallel bedienen zu müssen. Und das mit einer Architektur, die am besten auch noch zukünftigen, bisher noch nicht bekannten Anforderungen standhält. Wie aber sieht eine solche Architektur aus? Welche neuen Herausforderungen ergeben sich durch die Öffnung für zusätzliche Kanäle? Und welche Auswirkungen hat das alles auf Themenbereiche wie Security, Schnittstellendesign, Versionierung oder das Domänen- bzw. Datenmodell? Im Rahmen der Session „öffnen“ wir eine klassische monolithische Webanwendung und stellen uns den Herausforderungen.
African Leadership in ICT and Knowledge Societies: Issues, Tensions and Oppor...Wesley Schwalje
Our work on knowledge-based economies and skill formation is cited in this report by GESCI, established by the United Nations ICT Task, and funded by Irish Aid, Sida, SDC, and Ministry for Foreign Affairs of Finland. Speaking of our institutionalist approach, the report states “There is a demand for profound rethinking of the role of education and training systems and constituent actors inclusive of leadership actors to adapt and respond to skill demands of employers, technological progress and macro trends for knowledge-based socio-economic development (Schwalje, 2011).”
Building a Turbo-fast Data Warehousing Platform with DatabricksDatabricks
Traditionally, data warehouse platforms have been perceived as cost prohibitive, challenging to maintain and complex to scale. The combination of Apache Spark and Spark SQL – running on AWS – provides a fast, simple, and scalable way to build a new generation of data warehouses that revolutionizes how data scientists and engineers analyze their data sets.
In this webinar you will learn how Databricks - a fully managed Spark platform hosted on AWS - integrates with variety of different AWS services, Amazon S3, Kinesis, and VPC. We’ll also show you how to build your own data warehousing platform in very short amount of time and how to integrate it with other tools such as Spark’s machine learning library and Spark streaming for real-time processing of your data.
Big Data and Fast Data combined – is it possible ? Introduction aux architectures Big Data. M. Ulises Fasoli, Senior Consultant Trivadis. Conférence donnée dans le cadre du Swiss Data Forum du 24 novembre 2015 à Lausanne
TidalScale has created a software defined computer.
At TidalScale, we have created a simple cost-effective way for a data scientist, an analyst, an engineer, a scientist, a database administrator, or a software developer to access a group of servers through a single operating system instance as if it were a single supercomputer. This dramatically simplifies development, while reducing software scaling complexity not to mention a dramatic cost saving in hardware and software.
We configure hosted hardware into one or more TidalPods. Each TidalPod is a virtual supercomputer comprising a set of commodity servers configured with the TidalScale HyperKernel. What the user sees is standard Linux, FreeBSD or Windows running with the sum of all memory, processors, networks, and I/O. The secret sauce is the HyperKernel that fools the guest OS into thinking it’s running directly on a huge, expensive machine when in fact it’s running on a set of smaller, less expensive servers.
We offer an incredibly simple user experience.
• Define the computer size you want (Number of CPU, Amount of Memory), boot the virtual machine, then login to the computer…
Thus, we enable a simple cost-effective way for a data scientist, an analyst, an engineer, a scientist, a database administrator, or a software developer to access a group of servers in a Datacenter through a single operating system instance as if it were a single supercomputer. This dramatically simplifies development, while reducing software scaling complexity not to mention a dramatic cost saving in hardware and software.

Putting the Ops in DataOps: Orchestrate the Flow of Data Across Data PipelinesDATAVERSITY
With the aid of any number of data management and processing tools, data flows through multiple on-prem and cloud storage locations before it’s delivered to business users. As a result, IT teams — including IT Ops, DataOps, and DevOps — are often overwhelmed by the complexity of creating a reliable data pipeline that includes the automation and observability they require.
The answer to this widespread problem is a centralized data pipeline orchestration solution.
Join Stonebranch’s Scott Davis, Global Vice President and Ravi Murugesan, Sr. Solution Engineer to learn how DataOps teams orchestrate their end-to-end data pipelines with a platform approach to managing automation.
Key Learnings:
- Discover how to orchestrate data pipelines across a hybrid IT environment (on-prem and cloud)
- Find out how DataOps teams are empowered with event-based triggers for real-time data flow
- See examples of reports, dashboards, and proactive alerts designed to help you reliably keep data flowing through your business — with the observability you require
- Discover how to replace clunky legacy approaches to streaming data in a multi-cloud environment
- See what’s possible with the Stonebranch Universal Automation Center (UAC)

30 Minutes to the Analytics Platform with Infrastructure as CodeGuido Schmutz
Analytical platforms for PoCs and evaluation can be built in the cloud in an hour - with ready-made setup scripts. But if you put the services together freely, it gets more difficult. The open-source platform-in-a-box "Platys" (https://github.com/TrivadisPF/platys) shows that it is easier for test and PoC environments. In addition to possible uses and examples, we explain services and "just briefly" set up a data lake with a database, event broker, stream processing, blob store, SQL access and data science notebook.
Event Broker (Kafka) in a Modern Data ArchitectureGuido Schmutz
Today's modern data architectures and the their implementations contain an Event Broker. What are the benefits of placing an Event Broker in a Modern Data (Analytics) Architecture? What exactly is an Event Broker and what capabilities should it provide? Why is Apache Kafka the most popular realisation of an Event Broker?
These and many other questions will be answered in this session. The talk will start with a vendor-neutral definition of the capabilities of an Event Broker.
Then the session will highlight the different architecture styles which can be supported using an Event Broker (Kafka), such as Streaming Data Integration, Stream Analytics and Decoupled Event-Driven Applications and how can these be combined into a unified architecture, making the Event Broker the central nervous system of an enterprise architecture. We will end with an overview of the Kafka ecosystem and a placement of the various components onto the Modern Data (Analytics) Architecture.
Big Data, Data Lake, Fast Data - Dataserialiation-FormatsGuido Schmutz
The concept of "Data Lake" is in everyone's mind today. The idea of storing all the data that accumulates in a company in a central location and making it available sounds very interesting at first. But Data Lake can quickly turn from a clear, beautiful mountain lake into a huge pond, especially if it is inexpertly entrusted with all the source data formats that are common in today's enterprises, such as XML, JSON, CSV or unstructured text data. Who, after some time, still has an overview of which data, which format and how they have developed over different versions? Anyone who wants to help themselves from the Data Lake must ask themselves the same questions over and over again: what information is provided, what data types do they have and how has the content changed over time?
Data serialization frameworks such as Apache Avro and Google Protocol Buffer (Protobuf), which enable platform-independent data modeling and data storage, can help. This talk will discuss the possibilities of Avro and Protobuf and show how they can be used in the context of a data lake and what advantages can be achieved. The support on Avro and Protobuf by Big Data and Fast Data platforms is also a topic.
ksqlDB is a stream processing SQL engine, which allows stream processing on top of Apache Kafka. ksqlDB is based on Kafka Stream and provides capabilities for consuming messages from Kafka, analysing these messages in near-realtime with a SQL like language and produce results again to a Kafka topic. By that, no single line of Java code has to be written and you can reuse your SQL knowhow. This lowers the bar for starting with stream processing significantly.
ksqlDB offers powerful capabilities of stream processing, such as joins, aggregations, time windows and support for event time. In this talk I will present how KSQL integrates with the Kafka ecosystem and demonstrate how easy it is to implement a solution using ksqlDB for most part. This will be done in a live demo on a fictitious IoT sample.
Kafka as your Data Lake - is it Feasible?Guido Schmutz
For a long time we discuss how much data we can keep in Kafka. Can we store data forever or do we remove data after a while and maybe having the history in a data lake on Object Storage or HDFS? With the advent of Tiered Storage in Confluent Enterprise Platform, storing data much longer in Kafka is much very feasible. So can we replace a traditional data lake with just Kafka? Maybe at least for the raw data? But what about accessing the data, for example using SQL?
KSQL allows for processing data in a streaming fashion using an SQL like dialect. But what about reading all data of a topic? You can reset the offset and still use KSQL. But there is another family of products, so-called query engines for Big Data. They originate from the idea of reading Big Data sources such as HDFS, object storage or HBase, using the SQL language. Presto, Apache Drill and Dremio are the most popular solutions in that space. Lately these query engines also added support for Kafka topics as a source of data. With that you can read a topic as a table and join it with information available in other data sources. The idea of course is not real-time streaming analytics but batch analytics directly on the Kafka topic, without having to store it in a big data storage.
This talk answers, how well these tools support Kafka as a data source. What serialization formats do they support? Is there some form of predicate push-down supported or do we have to always read the complete topic? How performant is a query against a topic, compared to a query against the same data sitting in HDFS or an object store? And finally, will this allow us to replace our data lake or at least part of it by Apache Kafka?
Event Hub (i.e. Kafka) in Modern Data ArchitectureGuido Schmutz
Today's modern data architectures and the their implementations contain an Event Hub. What are the benefits of placing an Event Hub in a Modern Data (Analytics) Architecture? What exactly is an Event Hub and what capabilities should it provide? Why is Apache Kafka the most popular realization of an Event Hub?
These and many other questions will be answered in this session. The talk will start with a vendor-neutral definition of the capabilities of an Event Hub.

Solutions for bi-directional integration between Oracle RDBMS & Apache KafkaGuido Schmutz
Apache Kafka is a popular distributed streaming data platform and more and more is the architectural backbone for integrating streaming data with a Data Lake, Microservices and Stream Processing. A lot of data necessary in stream processing is stored in traditional systems backed by relational databases. This session will present different approaches for integrating relational databases with Kafka, such as Kafka Connect, Oracle GoldenGate, ORDS APIs and bridging Kafka with Oracle AQ.

Building Event Driven (Micro)services with Apache KafkaGuido Schmutz
What is a Microservices architecture and how does it differ from a Service-Oriented Architecture? Should you use traditional REST APIs to bind services together? Or is it better to use a richer, more loosely-coupled protocol? This talk will start with quick recap of how we created systems over the past 20 years and how different architectures evolved from it. The talk will show how we piece services together in event driven systems, how we use a distributed log (event hub) to create a central, persistent history of events and what benefits we achieve from doing so.
Apache Kafka is a perfect match for building such an asynchronous, loosely-coupled event-driven backbone. Events trigger processing logic, which can be implemented in a more traditional as well as in a stream processing fashion. The talk will show the difference between a request-driven and event-driven communication and show when to use which. It highlights how the modern stream processing systems can be used to hold state both internally as well as in a database and how this state can be used to further increase independence of other services, the primary goal of a Microservices architecture.
Location Analytics - Real-Time Geofencing using Apache KafkaGuido Schmutz
An important underlying concept behind location-based applications is called geofencing. Geofencing is a process that allows acting on users and/or devices who enter/exit a specific geographical area, known as a geo-fence. A geo-fence can be dynamically generated—as in a radius around a point location, or a geo-fence can be a predefined set of boundaries (such as secured areas, buildings, boarders of counties, states or countries).
Geofencing lays the foundation for realizing use cases around fleet monitoring, asset tracking, phone tracking across cell sites, connected manufacturing, ride-sharing solutions and many others.
GPS tracking tells constantly and in real time where a device is located and forms the stream of events which needs to be analyzed against the much more static set of geo-fences. Many of the use cases mentioned above require low-latency actions taken place, if either a device enters or leaves a geo-fence or when it is approaching such a geo-fence. That’s where streaming data ingestion and streaming analytics and therefore the Kafka ecosystem comes into play.
This session will present how location analytics applications can be implemented using Kafka and KSQL & Kafka Streams. It highlights the exiting features available out-of-the-box and then shows how easy it is to extend it by custom defined functions (UDFs). The design of such solution so that it can scale with both an increasing amount of position events as well as geo-fences will be discussed as well.
Solutions for bi-directional integration between Oracle RDBMS and Apache KafkaGuido Schmutz
Apache Kafka is a popular distributed streaming data platform. A Kafka cluster stores streams of records (messages) in categories called topics. It is the architectural backbone for integrating streaming data with a Data Lake, Microservices and Stream Processing. Data sources flowing into Kafka are often native data streams such as social media streams, telemetry data, financial transactions and many others. But these data stream only contain part of the information. A lot of data necessary in stream processing is stored in traditional systems backed by relational databases. To implement new and modern, real-time solutions, an up-to-date view of that information is needed. So how do we make sure that information can flow between the RDBMS and Kafka, so that changes are available in Kafka as soon as possible in near-real-time? This session will present different approaches for integrating relational databases with Kafka, such as Kafka Connect, Oracle GoldenGate and bridging Kafka with Oracle Advanced Queuing (AQ).

Most data visualisation solutions today still work on data sources which are stored persistently in a data store, using the so called “data at rest” paradigms. More and more data sources today provide a constant stream of data, from IoT devices to Social Media streams. These data stream publish with high velocity and messages often have to be processed as quick as possible. For the processing and analytics on the data, so called stream processing solutions are available. But these only provide minimal or no visualisation capabilities. One option is to first persist the data into a data store and then use a traditional data visualisation solution to present the data. If latency is not an issue, such a solution might be good enough. An other question is which data store solution is necessary to keep up with the high load on write and read. If it is not an RDBMS but an NoSQL database, then not all traditional visualisation tools might already integrate with the specific data store. An other option is to use a Streaming Visualisation solution. They are specially built for streaming data and often do not support batch data. A much better solution would be to have one tool capable of handling both, batch and streaming data. This talk presents different architecture blueprints for integrating data visualisation into a fast data solutions and then we show how the different blueprints can be implemented by mapping products onto the blueprints.
Kafka as an event store - is it good enough?Guido Schmutz
Event Sourcing and CQRS are two popular patterns for implementing a Microservices architectures. With Event Sourcing we do not store the state of an object, but instead store all the events impacting its state. Then to retrieve an object state, we have to read the different events related to a certain object and apply them one by one. CQRS (Command Query Responsibility Segregation) on the other hand is a way to dissociate writes (Command) and reads (Query). Event Sourcing and CQRS are frequently grouped and used together to form something bigger. While it is possible to implement CQRS without Event Sourcing, the opposite is not necessarily correct. In order to implement Event Sourcing, an efficient Event Store is needed. But is that also true when combining Event Sourcing and CQRS? And what is an event store in the first place and what features should it implement?
This presentation will first discuss what functionalities an event store should offer and then present how Apache Kafka can be used to implement an event store. But is Kafka good enough or do specific event store solutions such as AxonDB or Event Store provide a better solution?
Solutions for bi-directional Integration between Oracle RDMBS & Apache KafkaGuido Schmutz
A Kafka cluster stores streams of records (messages) in categories called topics. It is the architectural backbone for integrating streaming data with a Data Lake, Microservices and Stream Processing. Today’s enterprises have their core systems often implemented on top of relational databases, such as the Oracle RDBMS. Implementing a new solution supporting the digital strategy using Kafka and the ecosystem can not always be done completely separate from the traditional legacy solutions. Often streaming data has to be enriched with state data which is held in an RDBMS of a legacy application. It’s important to cache this data in the stream processing solution, so that It can be efficiently joined to the data stream. But how do we make sure that the cache is kept up-to-date, if the source data changes? We can either poll for changes from Kafka using Kafka Connect or let the RDBMS push the data changes to Kafka. But what about writing data back to the legacy application, i.e. an anomaly is detected inside the stream processing solution which should trigger an action inside the legacy application. Using Kafka Connect we can write to a database table or view, which could trigger the action. But this not always the best option. If you have an Oracle RDBMS, there are many other ways to integrate the database with Kafka, such as Advanced Queueing (message broker in the database), CDC through Golden Gate or Debezium, Oracle REST Database Service (ORDS) and more. In this session, we present various blueprints for integrating an Oracle RDBMS with Apache Kafka in both directions and discuss how these blueprints can be implemented using the products mentioned before.
Fundamentals Big Data and AI ArchitectureGuido Schmutz
The right architecture is key for any IT project. This is especially the case for big data projects, where there are no standard architectures which have proven their suitability over years. This session discusses the different Big Data Architectures which have evolved over time, including traditional Big Data Architecture, Streaming Analytics architecture as well as Lambda and Kappa architecture and presents the mapping of components from both Open Source as well as the Oracle stack onto these architectures.

Each architecture is presented in a vendor- and technology-independent way using a standard architecture blueprint. In a second step, these architecture blueprints are used to show how a given architecture can support certain use cases and which popular open source technologies can help to implement a solution based on a given architecture.

Elevating Tactical DDD Patterns Through Object CalisthenicsDorra BARTAGUIZ
After immersing yourself in the blue book and its red counterpart, attending DDD-focused conferences, and applying tactical patterns, you're left with a crucial question: How do I ensure my design is effective? Tactical patterns within Domain-Driven Design (DDD) serve as guiding principles for creating clear and manageable domain models. However, achieving success with these patterns requires additional guidance. Interestingly, we've observed that a set of constraints initially designed for training purposes remarkably aligns with effective pattern implementation, offering a more ‘mechanical’ approach. Let's explore together how Object Calisthenics can elevate the design of your tactical DDD patterns, offering concrete help for those venturing into DDD for the first time!
Neuro-symbolic is not enough, we need neuro-*semantic*Frank van Harmelen
Neuro-symbolic (NeSy) AI is on the rise. However, simply machine learning on just any symbolic structure is not sufficient to really harvest the gains of NeSy. These will only be gained when the symbolic structures have an actual semantics. I give an operational definition of semantics as “predictable inference”.
All of this illustrated with link prediction over knowledge graphs, but the argument is general.
