This document summarizes a presentation about integrating Fluentd with Elastic Beats data collection agents. It introduces Beats, their supported outputs including Elasticsearch, and various third party Beats. It then describes the fluent-plugin-beats plugin which allows Fluentd to receive events from Beats using the Lumberjack protocol. An example configuration is shown. Performance tests show Fluentd can handle over 100,000 events/sec while Filebeat is slower at 18,000 events/sec. The conclusion is that Beats are useful for collection but Fluentd may be better than Filebeat for high volume environments.
This presentation contains differences between Elasticsearch and relational Databases. Along with that it also has some Glossary Of Elasticsearch and its basic operation.

In this era of ever growing data, the need for analyzing it for meaningful business insights becomes more and more significant. There are different Big Data processing alternatives like Hadoop, Spark, Storm etc. Spark, however is unique in providing batch as well as streaming capabilities, thus making it a preferred choice for lightening fast Big Data Analysis platforms.
Modern data lakes are now built on cloud storage, helping organizations leverage the scale and economics of object storage while simplifying overall data storage and analysis flow
So, what is the ELK Stack? "ELK" is the acronym for three open source projects: Elasticsearch, Logstash, and Kibana. Elasticsearch is a search and analytics engine. Logstash is a server‑side data processing pipeline that ingests data from multiple sources simultaneously, transforms it, and then sends it to a "stash" like Elasticsearch. Kibana lets users visualize data with charts and graphs in Elasticsearch.
Monitoring, the Prometheus Way - Julius Voltz, Prometheus Docker, Inc.
Prometheus is an opinionated metrics collection and monitoring system that is particularly well suited to accommodate modern workloads like containers and micro-services. To achieve these goals, it radically breaks away from existing systems and follows very different design principles. In this talk, Prometheus founder Julius Volz will explain these design principles and how they apply to dockerized applications. This will provide insight useful to newcomers wanting to start on the right foot in the land of container monitoring, but also to veterans wanting to quickly map their existing knowledge to Prometheus concepts. In particular, a demo will show Prometheus in action together with a Docker Swarm cluster.

Design and Flutter Day is a dynamic and engrossing occasion that unites the vibrant fields of Flutter development and design. The goal of this all-day event is to investigate the relationship between design aesthetics and Flutter, an effective open-source UI software development toolkit.
Designing a social network offers some exciting challenges to engineers. The system needs to operate at scale, to provide a responsive user experience and to be able to inspect user activity in order to both generate new content and improve how the existing content is delivered.
Event Driven Architectures are particularly suitable to handle these kind of challenges and highly scalable messaging systems such as Apache Kafka have been designed specifically to support the requirements of modern high volume applications.
In this talk we are describing how the Crowdmix back-end has been designed as an Event Based system running on top of Kafka. We are going to present the overall system architecture and discuss in more detail some of the different sub components processing those events in different fashions, from streaming based processing to batch processing passing through a lambda-style batch and stream cooperation.
We are going to conclude describing some lessons learned from our one-year journey in implementing and operating the system

Epistemic Interaction - tuning interfaces to provide information for AI supportAlan Dix
Paper presented at SYNERGY workshop at AVI 2024, Genoa, Italy. 3rd June 2024
https://alandix.com/academic/papers/synergy2024-epistemic/
As machine learning integrates deeper into human-computer interactions, the concept of epistemic interaction emerges, aiming to refine these interactions to enhance system adaptability. This approach encourages minor, intentional adjustments in user behaviour to enrich the data available for system learning. This paper introduces epistemic interaction within the context of human-system communication, illustrating how deliberate interaction design can improve system understanding and adaptation. Through concrete examples, we demonstrate the potential of epistemic interaction to significantly advance human-computer interaction by leveraging intuitive human communication strategies to inform system design and functionality, offering a novel pathway for enriching user-system engagements.

GDG Cloud Southlake #33: Boule & Rebala: Effective AppSec in SDLC using Deplo...James Anderson
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).

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.

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!

• github: @repeatedly
• Treasure Data Inc.
• Fluentd / td-agent developer
• Fluentd Enterprise support
• I love OSS :)
• D Language, MessagePack, The organizer of several meetups, etc…
3. Beats
• Agent for each purpose by Elastic
• https://www.elastic.co/products/beats
• official: topbeat, filebeat, packetbeat
• 3rd party: dockerbeat, nginxbeat, etc…
• Beats support several outputs: elasticsearch,
logstash, stdout and etc.
• logstash output uses lumberjack protocol so
we can use it for communicating with Beats.
4. Fluentd
• Pluggable streaming event collector
• Lightweight, robust and flexible
• Lots of plugins on rubygems
• Used by AWS, GCP, MS and more companies
• Resources
• http://www.fluentd.org/
• Webinar: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6uPB_M7cbYk
5. fluent-plugin-beats
• Input plugin for Elastic Beats
• https://github.com/repeatedly/fluent-plugin-beats
• Use lumberjack protocol to handle events
• Tested with topbeat, filebeat, packetbeat
• Beats use same event format so it should work
with 3rd party Beats.
8. Note: Performance
• Tested on Mac Book Pro, not 2 machines.
2.6 GHz Intel Core i7, 16 GB 1600 MHz DDR3
fluentd with in_tail fluent-agent-hydra filebeat
80,000 events/sec 100,000+ events/sec 18,000 events/sec
Read nginx 100000 logs and count by flowcounter_simple
9. 1. Lumberjack protocol doesn’t focus on throughput
• lumberjack sends/receives ack on each record
2. Beats framework is slow? [Issue #587]
• filebeat is slower than logstash-forwarder
Why filebeat is slow?
data frame
Publish events
ack
ack
Lumberjack protocol
10. Conclusion
• Beats are useful for collecting various metrics
• fluent-plugin-beats can handle Beats event
and route events to elasitcsearch properly
• Thanks fluent-plugin-elasticsearch plugin ;)
• Note that filebeat is slow so it is not good
on high volume environment
• Use fluentd or fluent-agent-hydra instead
