Migrating a data intensive microservice from Python to GoNikolay Stoitsev
As Uber is hyper-growing as a company so does our need for scalable and resilient systems. In this talk, I’m going to tell the story of how my team migrated from Python to Go, a microservice that processes millions of events every day. First, we are going to start with the rationale behind the migration. Then we are going to go over the Python and Go tech stacks that we use. Last but not least, I’m also going to share our approach for migrating the service while running in production, adding new features and making sure there are no regressions.

Trusting machines with robust, unbiased and reproducible AI Margriet Groenendijk
The document discusses building trust in artificial intelligence systems. It addresses questions around fairness, accountability, understandability, and the potential for tampering. The author advocates using tools like Adversarial Robustness 360, AI Fairness 360, and AI Explainability 360 to test models for robustness, fairness, and explainability over the full lifecycle from training to deployment. Continuous monitoring of deployed models is also recommended to detect issues like data or concept drift over time that could undermine performance or trust in the system. The goal is to develop a systematic, transparent approach for developing trusted AI applications.
Measuring the Productivity of Your Engineering Organisation - the Good, the B...Marin Dimitrov
High-performing engineering teams regularly dedicate time on measuring the performance & quality of the systems and applications they’re building or on measuring & improving the various aspects of the development lifecycle. High-performing product companies are also data-driven when it comes to measuring the impact of new features & products in terms of business KPIs and Northstar metrics.
Can a data-driven approach be applied to measuring the performance, maturity and continuous improvement of an engineering team or the whole engineering organisation? In this discussion we’ll cover various important topics related to quantifying the performance of an engineering organisation
The career development of our teammates is among the key responsibilities of a leader - and оur personal career development vision & plan plays a critical role for our long term growth and success. Despite their importance, our career vision is often not getting enough attention and level of detail, or is hampered by easily avoidable mistakes. In this discussion, we’ll address typical mistakes related to long-term career planning, some best practices, and practical steps for building our own long-term career development vision (or the ones of the teammates we are leading), so that career planning becomes a long term journey with clear why/how/what, rather than just a list of SMART goals
Uber began its open source journey in 2015 when three passionate engineers decided to contribute Uber’s work back to the community.

Since 2017, four of Uber’s open source projects have won InfoWorld’s Best of Open Source Software Awards. In this talk, Brian Hsieh & Marin Dimitrov will share more details on Uber’s open source journey, program and best practices, and how Uber enables open innovation by fostering a healthy and collaborative open source culture
Trust - the Key Success Factor for Teams & OrganisationsMarin Dimitrov
>>> Most leaders agree that trust is a key factor for the success o the team and the organisation and that they are actively working to build trust. And yet, various studies imply that almost half of the teams and organisations worldwide experience lower trust levels with their managers, teammates and the rest of the organisation, which leads to decreased engagement, productivity and success.
>>> In this talk we will discuss why trust is a key success factor for every team and every organisation, some good practices for building, sustaining and rebuilding trust, as well as the most common mistakes related to trust building

Building, Scaling and Leading High-Performance TeamsMarin Dimitrov
The document discusses building, scaling, and leading high-performance teams. It covers cultural values, attracting top talent through transparent hiring processes and a magical interview experience, coaching and growth through onboarding, knowledge sharing, mentoring, and feedback, and leadership through execution, vision, emotional intelligence, and effective team design. The speaker is an engineering manager sharing experiences from Uber on developing teams and talent.
This document discusses Ontotext GraphDB connectors which allow users to perform complex SPARQL queries over RDF data by leveraging external engines like Elasticsearch, Solr, and Lucene. The connectors provide fast full-text search, faceted search, aggregations, and range queries through selective replication of RDF data to the external engines while synchronizing data and managing the connectors through SPARQL queries and updates. This enables users to get the benefits of SPARQL for graph pattern matching along with the advanced querying capabilities of systems like Elasticsearch without having to use a different query language.
The document summarizes the DataGraft Platform, an open data platform that provides an RDF database-as-a-service (DBaaS). The platform transforms tabular data into RDF and publishes linked data services instead of static datasets. It uses Amazon Web Services for its cloud architecture with Ontotext GraphDB as the RDF database engine running in Docker containers. The platform is designed to be elastic, highly available, cost efficient, and securely isolate multi-tenant databases. It provides a standards-compliant SPARQL endpoint and linked data interface that can be used with various third-party querying and visualization tools.

Enabling Low-cost Open Data Publishing and ReuseMarin Dimitrov
In the space of just a few years we’ve seen the transformational power of open data; both for transparency and accountability in public data, and efficiency and innovation with businesses in private data. In its first year, institutions and individuals throughout Europe have supported public sector bodies in releasing data and numerous start-ups, developers and SMEs in reusing this data for economic benefit.
However, we are still at the beginning of the open data movement, and there is still more that can be done to make open data simpler to use and to make it available to a wider audience.
The core goal of the DaPaaS project is to provide a Data- and Platform-as-a-Service environment, where 3rd parties (such as governmental organisations, SMEs, developers and larger companies) can publish and host both data sets and data-intensive applications, which can then be accessed by end-user applications in a cross-platform manner. You can find out more about DaPaaS on the detailed about page.
Essentially, DaPaaS aims to make publishing, consumption, and reuse of open data, as well as deploying open data applications, easier and cheaper for SMEs and small public bodies which otherwise may not have sufficient technical expertise, infrastructure and resources required to do so.

The document discusses Ontotext's Self-Service Semantic Suite (S4), which aims to address challenges customers face around unlocking insights from text and data, creating dynamic content, and integrating data sources. S4 provides semantic technology as a self-service set of pay-per-use services for text analytics, content enrichment, and metadata management using RDF graphs and ontologies. This approach aims to make semantic technology easier to adopt with lower costs and risks than traditional options.
Scaling to Millions of Concurrent SPARQL Queries on the CloudMarin Dimitrov
The document describes testing the scalability of OWLIM, a semantic database, on Amazon EC2 using a replication cluster approach. It found that:
- A 20 node cluster handled over 1 million SPARQL queries per hour, and a 100 node cluster handled 5 million queries per hour, demonstrating near-linear scalability.
- Cluster nodes maintained high performance, handling 2000-2300 queries per hour each even as the cluster size increased.
- The replication cluster approach distributed load well with low overhead, keeping CPU usage below 30% and network traffic below 0.1 MB/s for slave nodes.
Crossing the Chasm with Semantic TechnologyMarin Dimitrov
After more than a decade of active efforts towards establishing Semantic Web, Linked Data and related standards, the verdict of whether the technology has delivered its promise and has proven itself in the enterprise is still unclear, despite the numerous existing success stories.
Every emerging technology and disruptive innovation has to overcome the challenge of “crossing the chasm” between the early adopters, who are just eager to experiment with the technology potential, and the majority of the companies, who need a proven technology that can be reliably used in mission critical scenarios and deliver quantifiable cost savings.
Succeeding with a Semantic Technology product in the enterprise is a challenging task involving both top quality research and software development practices, but most often the technology adoption challenges are not about the quality of the R&D but about successful business model generation and understanding the complexities and challenges of the technology adoption lifecycle by the enterprise.
This talk will discuss topics related to the challenge of “crossing the chasm” for a Semantic Technology product and provide examples from Ontotext’s experience of successfully delivering Semantic Technology solutions to enterprises.
Delivering Linked Data Training to Data Science PractitionersMarin Dimitrov
Ontotext has provided Linked Data trainings to practitioners from various organizations to educate them on Linked Data and Semantic Web topics. They have learned that trainings need to (1) accommodate mixed audiences with different backgrounds and expertise, (2) use language tailored to each audience, and (3) strike a balance between theoretical foundations and practical applications. Ontotext also developed the EUCLID social media monitoring platform to identify trending topics in Linked Data for extending their training curriculum. The platform integrates and analyzes data from various social media sources to extract topics and visualize analytics.
This document discusses moving from big data to smart data. It summarizes three key points:
1) Big data focuses too much on volume and speed without ensuring useful insights. Smart data prioritizes understanding data quality and relationships to provide more value.
2) Organizations should first enrich data by adding metadata, interlinking related pieces, and providing a common layer before pursuing large volumes of raw data.
3) The document describes two success stories where Ontotext utilized semantic technologies and interlinked data sources to provide insightful analytics and answers to complex questions for clients in job market intelligence and asset recovery.

HCL Notes and Domino License Cost Reduction in the World of DLAUpanagenda
Webinar Recording: https://www.panagenda.com/webinars/hcl-notes-and-domino-license-cost-reduction-in-the-world-of-dlau/
The introduction of DLAU and the CCB & CCX licensing model caused quite a stir in the HCL community. As a Notes and Domino customer, you may have faced challenges with unexpected user counts and license costs. You probably have questions on how this new licensing approach works and how to benefit from it. Most importantly, you likely have budget constraints and want to save money where possible. Don’t worry, we can help with all of this!
We’ll show you how to fix common misconfigurations that cause higher-than-expected user counts, and how to identify accounts which you can deactivate to save money. There are also frequent patterns that can cause unnecessary cost, like using a person document instead of a mail-in for shared mailboxes. We’ll provide examples and solutions for those as well. And naturally we’ll explain the new licensing model.
Join HCL Ambassador Marc Thomas in this webinar with a special guest appearance from Franz Walder. It will give you the tools and know-how to stay on top of what is going on with Domino licensing. You will be able lower your cost through an optimized configuration and keep it low going forward.
These topics will be covered
- Reducing license cost by finding and fixing misconfigurations and superfluous accounts

Removing Uninteresting Bytes in Software FuzzingAftab Hussain
Imagine a world where software fuzzing, the process of mutating bytes in test seeds to uncover hidden and erroneous program behaviors, becomes faster and more effective. A lot depends on the initial seeds, which can significantly dictate the trajectory of a fuzzing campaign, particularly in terms of how long it takes to uncover interesting behaviour in your code. We introduce DIAR, a technique designed to speedup fuzzing campaigns by pinpointing and eliminating those uninteresting bytes in the seeds. Picture this: instead of wasting valuable resources on meaningless mutations in large, bloated seeds, DIAR removes the unnecessary bytes, streamlining the entire process.
In this work, we equipped AFL, a popular fuzzer, with DIAR and examined two critical Linux libraries -- Libxml's xmllint, a tool for parsing xml documents, and Binutil's readelf, an essential debugging and security analysis command-line tool used to display detailed information about ELF (Executable and Linkable Format). Our preliminary results show that AFL+DIAR does not only discover new paths more quickly but also achieves higher coverage overall. This work thus showcases how starting with lean and optimized seeds can lead to faster, more comprehensive fuzzing campaigns -- and DIAR helps you find such seeds.

Climate Impact of Software Testing at Nordic Testing DaysKari Kakkonen
My slides at Nordic Testing Days 6.6.2024
Climate impact / sustainability of software testing discussed on the talk. ICT and testing must carry their part of global responsibility to help with the climat warming. We can minimize the carbon footprint but we can also have a carbon handprint, a positive impact on the climate. Quality characteristics can be added with sustainability, and then measured continuously. Test environments can be used less, and in smaller scale and on demand. Test techniques can be used in optimizing or minimizing number of tests. Test automation can be used to speed up testing.
