Welcome to the world of NoSQL. NoSQL market is now expected to reach 4.2 billion dollar business in itself by 2020. If you are still confused by what does this term means then you are not ready for the Big Data world. However, just knowing the term is not enough.
Due to the enormous numbers of No SQL platforms out there, one of the key challenges is not how to use them but when to use what. In this webinar session, we will start with a small description of the NoSQL and try to understand why it was introduced after all. Then we will look into the four different types of NoSQL frameworks and some tips on how to choose what.
Key Takeaways:
1. Understanding NoSQL
2. SQL to NoSQL: Why the Need is There
3. The Four Main Types of NoSQL
4. How to Make the Best Choice
5. NoSQL User Stories & Deployment of Best Practices
Doing More With Less: The Economics of Open Source Database AdoptionEDB
President and Chief Executive Officer Ed Boyajian delivered this presentation, which focuses on open source database adoption in the enterprise, at Red Hat Summit 2009. The presentation touches on economic issues as part of an overall discussion on both how and why an increasing number of enterprises are choosing open source database solutions.
Containers are lightweight, fast, agile, and solve all dependency issues related to the applications. With such benefits, why aren’t we using containers for stateful apps like databases? Unfortunately, most container platforms treat stateful apps just like stateless, often focusing just on initial provisioning, scale, or failover. To use the cattle vs pets analogy, stateful apps like databases are pets and not cattle. This means losing an instance of a database can lead to data loss, scaling them is not simple, and restoring does not imply simply bringing up another instance on a different host.
In this session, we will review the current state of container support for databases and discuss key aspects of database management like consolidation, data management, node failures, scaling out/back and scaling up/down, etc that container platforms need to address.
Persistent storage for containerized applications
Linux containers are on course to change DevOps forever. Container technology will also impact how we think about persistent storage for applications and microservices.
In turn, software-defined storage will impact how storage is dynamically provisioned and managed for containerized applications. Using close integration with orchestration frameworks, such as Kubernetes and private Platform-as-a-Service (PaaS) such as OpenShift, Red Hat® Storage extends the current limit of performance by providing seamless, enterprise-grade storage for critical applications in containers.

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.

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.

"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.
PHP Frameworks: I want to break free (IPC Berlin 2024)Ralf Eggert

We discuss the history of PHP and its frameworks to understand how this dependence has evolved. The focus will be on providing concrete tips and strategies to reduce reliance on these frameworks, based on real-world examples and practical considerations. The goal is to equip developers with the skills and knowledge to create more flexible and future-proof web applications. We'll explore the importance of maintaining autonomy in a rapidly changing tech landscape and how to make informed decisions in PHP development.
This talk is aimed at encouraging a more independent approach to using PHP frameworks, moving towards a more flexible and future-proof approach to PHP development.
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.
Search and Society: Reimagining Information Access for Radical FuturesBhaskar Mitra
The field of Information retrieval (IR) is currently undergoing a transformative shift, at least partly due to the emerging applications of generative AI to information access. In this talk, we will deliberate on the sociotechnical implications of generative AI for information access. We will argue that there is both a critical necessity and an exciting opportunity for the IR community to re-center our research agendas on societal needs while dismantling the artificial separation between the work on fairness, accountability, transparency, and ethics in IR and the rest of IR research. Instead of adopting a reactionary strategy of trying to mitigate potential social harms from emerging technologies, the community should aim to proactively set the research agenda for the kinds of systems we should build inspired by diverse explicitly stated sociotechnical imaginaries. The sociotechnical imaginaries that underpin the design and development of information access technologies needs to be explicitly articulated, and we need to develop theories of change in context of these diverse perspectives. Our guiding future imaginaries must be informed by other academic fields, such as democratic theory and critical theory, and should be co-developed with social science scholars, legal scholars, civil rights and social justice activists, and artists, among others.

7. Redis Manifesto
– Redis is a DSL (Domain Specific Language) that manipulates
abstract data types and implemented as a TCP daemon. Keys
are binary-safe strings and values are different kinds of
abstract data types.
– Redis has persistence option but Memory storage is #1.
– The Redis API is a direct consequence of fundamental data
structures.
– Code is like a poem.
– We believe designing systems is a fight against complexity.
Most of the time the best way to fight complexity is by not
creating it at all.
– Redis API has two levels: 1) a subset of the API fits naturally
into a distributed version of Redis and 2) a more complex API
that supports multi-key operations.
– We optimize for joy. When there is no longer joy in writing
code, the best thing to do is stop.
7
8. REDIS is Fast
• Fast ~100,000 queries per sec.
• Compare it with ~30,000 queries per sec
for MS SQL Server (if you are lucky)
• Kind of like memcached, but values can
be persisted and all keys are kept IN
MEMORY.

12. Data structures
Keys are strings which identify pieces of data
(values)
Values can be strings, integers, hashes, lists,
sets, or sorted sets
Various atomic operations (push, pop, add,
read, set, etc.) – after all REDIS is single-
threaded

16. Master-Master Replication
Native Redis Master-Master replication doesn’t
exist yet, slated for release end of year
Solution using Apache Zookeeper (
http://zookeeper.apache.org/)
Checks for status using BLPOP
Will promote a slave to master
17. When Not to Use Redis
Data is larger than memory
Need ACID requirements
Big data
18. Security Concerns
It is designed to be used only inside trusted
environment (kind of like MongoDB)
Basic password authentication (but it’s sent in
cleartext)
No data encryption support
18
19. Security Recommendations
Configure firewall to block inbound access on
REDIS ports
Don’t run REDIS server as root, and harden the
server it’s on
Don’t store sensitive data in there.
19
20. AOP Caching
• Dynamically construct a hash key from argument
values.
• “Round up” volatile keys such as timestamps
• Put into REDIS cache with a configurable TTL

Editor's Notes
Contents in http://antirez.com/post/redis-manifesto.html Introduction to Redis Redis is an open source, advanced key-value store. It is often referred to as a data structure server since keys can contain strings, hashes, lists, sets and sorted sets. You can run atomic operations on these types, like appending to a string; incrementing the value in a hash; pushing to a list; computing set intersection, union and difference; or getting the member with highest ranking in a sorted set. In order to achieve its outstanding performance, Redis works with an in-memory dataset. Depending on your use case, you can persist it either by dumping the dataset to disk every once in a while, or by appending each command to a log. Redis also supports trivial-to-setup master-slave replication, with very fast non-blocking first synchronization, auto-reconnection on net split and so forth. Other features include a simple check-and-set mechanism, pub/sub and configuration settings to make Redis behave like a cache. You can use Redis from most programming languages out there. Redis is written in ANSI C and works in most POSIX systems like Linux, *BSD, OS X and Solaris without external dependencies. There is no official support for Windows builds, although you may have some options.
This perfect example is illustrated by the dialog between Redis (antirez) and memcached (dormando) developers. antirez 1 - On Redis, Memcached, Speed, Benchmarks and The Toilet dormando - Redis VS Memcached (slightly better bench) antirez 2 - An update on the Memcached/Redis benchmark You can see that in the end, the difference between the two solutions is not so staggering, once all technical aspects are considered. Please note both Redis and memcached have been optimized further after these benchmarks ... Finally, when very efficient servers are benchmarked (and stores like Redis or memcached definitely fall in this category), it may be difficult to saturate the server. Sometimes, the performance bottleneck is on client side, and not server-side. In that case, the client (i.e. the benchmark program itself) must be fixed, or perhaps scaled out, in order to reach the maximum throughput.
