[QCon.ai 2019] People You May Know: Fast Recommendations Over Massive Data
The “People You May Know” (PYMK) recommendation service helps LinkedIn’s members identify other members that they might want to connect to and is the major driver for growing LinkedIn's social network. The principal challenge in developing a service like PYMK is dealing with the sheer scale of computation needed to make precise recommendations with a high recall. PYMK service at LinkedIn has been operational for over a decade, during which it has evolved from an Oracle-backed system that took weeks to compute recommendations to a Hadoop backed system that took a few days to compute recommendations to its most modern embodiment where it can compute recommendations in near real time.
This talk will present the evolution of PYMK to its current architecture. We will focus on various systems we built along the way, with an emphasis on systems we built for our most recent architecture, namely Gaia, our real-time graph computing capability, and Venice our online feature store with scoring capability, and how we integrate these individual systems to generate recommendations in a timely and agile manner, while still being cost-efficient. We will briefly talk about the lessons learned about scalability limits of our past and current design choices and how we plan to tackle the scalability challenges for the next phase of growth.

Gwt create2013 Frankfurt: How we built a million dollar business with GWT
QAFE stands for Quality Application Framework for Enterprises. It was developed by Java and Oracle engineers to modernize Oracle Forms, and at the same time to create a modern platform for new business application development. QAFE separated the business logic from the presentation layer. Therefore, as the web evolves, developers do not have to rewrite their applications: because the QAFE engine, with the help of GWT and other toolkits, renders their logic to any frontend.

Manage your ODI Development Cycle – ODTUG Webinar
Oracle Data Integrator 12c is a powerful ELT tool with the ability to target different environments. It might be the traditional Development, Test and Production environments but there can be much more. Having a good release process is therefore important to ensure ongoing development doesn't impact the code running in production and that we can always go back to a previous version of the code if something goes wrong. We also want to have different developers or teams working concurrently without impacting each other. All of this is now easier than before thanks to the new features introduced in ODI 12.2.1. After looking at different architectures we will review all these new features and see how we can have a robust and efficient development cycle.

Description
Abstract: Although recent improvements of the Cog VM performance made it one of the fastest available Smalltalk virtual machine, the overhead compared to optimized C code remains important. Efficient industrial object oriented virtual machine, such as Javascript V8's engine for Google Chrome and Oracle Java Hotspot can reach on many benchs the performance of optimized C code thanks to adaptive optimizations performed their JIT compilers. The VM becomes then cleverer, and after executing numerous times the same portion of codes, it stops the code execution, looks at what it is doing and recompiles critical portion of codes in code faster to run based on the current environment and previous executions.
Bio: Clément Béra and Eliot Miranda has been working together on Cog's JIT performance for the last year. Clément Béra is a young engineer and has been working in the Pharo team for the past two years. Eliot Miranda is a Smalltalk VM expert who, among others, has implemented Cog's JIT and the Spur Memory Manager for Cog.

Firefall is a free-to-play cooperative online shooter game with a "shardless" world and instance-based maps. The developers chose to build the game infrastructure in the cloud to handle unpredictable player numbers and development changes, and to take advantage of cost savings from cyclical player behavior. Their goals were quick regional expansion, on-demand scalability, minimal downtime disaster recovery, and self-healing systems. Over time they evolved their AWS architecture to expand globally and improve platform features like zero downtime updates and global player mobility. They utilize both third-party and custom tools to monitor and manage the cloud infrastructure.

"Chasing AMI: baking Amazon machine images with Jenkins, Packer and Puppet" presented at Puppet Camp London April 2014 by Tom Doran, Yelp
Chasing AMI - Building Amazon machine images with Puppet, Packer and Jenkins
Using puppet when configuring EC2 machines seems a natural fit. However bringing up new machines from a community image with puppet is not trivial and can be slow, and so not useful for auto-scaling.
The cloud also offers a solution to ongoing server maintenance, allowing you to launch fresh instances whenever you upgrade your applications (Immutable or Phoenix servers). However to predictably succeed, you need to freeze the puppet code alongside the application version for deployment.
The solution to these issues is generating custom machine images (AMIs) with your software inlined. This talk will cover Yelp's use of a Packer, Jenkins and Puppet for generating AMIs. This will include how we deal with issues like bootstrapping, getting canonical information about a machine's environment and cluster state at launch time, as well as supporting immutable/phoenix servers in combination with more traditional long lived servers inside our hybrid cloud infrastructure.

This presentation will outline the scope and perspective of utilizing AI in XML development. The potential benefits and the possible pitfalls will be highlighted, providing a balanced view of the subject.
We will explore the capabilities of AI in understanding XML markup languages and autonomously creating structured XML content. Additionally, we will examine the capacity of AI to enrich plain text with appropriate XML markup. Practical examples and methodological guidelines will be provided to elucidate how AI can be effectively prompted to interpret and generate accurate XML markup.
Further emphasis will be placed on the role of AI in developing XSLT, or schemas such as XSD and Schematron. We will address the techniques and strategies adopted to create prompts for generating code, explaining code, or refactoring the code, and the results achieved.
The discussion will extend to how AI can be used to transform XML content. In particular, the focus will be on the use of AI XPath extension functions in XSLT, Schematron, Schematron Quick Fixes, or for XML content refactoring.
The presentation aims to deliver a comprehensive overview of AI usage in XML development, providing attendees with the necessary knowledge to make informed decisions. Whether you’re at the early stages of adopting AI or considering integrating it in advanced XML development, this presentation will cover all levels of expertise.
By highlighting the potential advantages and challenges of integrating AI with XML development tools and languages, the presentation seeks to inspire thoughtful conversation around the future of XML development. We’ll not only delve into the technical aspects of AI-powered XML development but also discuss practical implications and possible future directions.
