Caching for Microservives - Introduction to Pivotal Cloud CacheVMware Tanzu
SpringOne Platform 2017
Pulkit Chandra, Pivotal
"One of the most important factors in a microservices architecture is that application logic is separate from the data store. This design choice makes it easier for the application to scale. Providing a caching solution inside Pivotal Cloud Foundry makes it easy for these microservices to store data which can be retrieved 100x times faster than with a regular database. Pivotal Cloud Cache not only provides such a cache but takes a “use case”-based approach which gets an application from 0 to production fast.
This session will provide insights into how to use Pivotal Cloud Cache and its performance under load. We will demo a Spring Boot app which uses Spring Data Geode to talk to a Pivotal Cloud Cache cluster."
Keeping your application’s latency SLAs no matter whatScyllaDB
Businesses that once measured performance in seconds now measure it down to the millisecond and even the microsecond in order to provide optimal user experience.
For a NoSQL database few things are more important than keeping latencies low and bounded. Yet some databases suffer latency spikes from such regular occurrences as Java Virtual Machine (JVM) “garbage collection,” context switches, database repair, cache flushes and so on. This makes long-tail latency very tricky to diagnose and fix, as it’s often a “whack-a-mole” exercise.
In this session, we will cover:
The systemic causes of latency spikes
How to keep latencies bounded and predictable
How to manage latency-inducing events
How Scylla helps optimize for 99% latency of <1msec
How Orwell built a geo-distributed Bank-as-a-Service with microservicesMariaDB plc
Orwell Group shares how they leveraged microservices, an event driven architecture and both master and reference data management methodologies to build a new banking system for high retail banking customers and corporate banks requiring cross border payments and cash flow management – and scaled it to handle customers with millions of clients. In particular they explain how they built a high availability, geo-distributed and consistent platform on top of MariaDB. The result was a secure and distributed platform with high cost efficiency, and the data accuracy and consistency needed to create high quality data pipelines from transactions to analytics and ensure regulatory compliance (e.g., GDPR).

Choosing a Citrix Monitoring Strategy: Key Capabilities and Pitfalls to AvoideG Innovations
Citrix performance monitoring has been gaining a lot of attention and interest. In this presentation, we outline key requirements that any Citrix monitoring solution should support. We analyze the built-in Citrix monitoring tools: Citrix Director, Citrix NetScaler Insight and the Microsoft SCOM management packs and discuss their capabilities and limitations. The need to have at least three different consoles for monitoring a Citrix infrastructure makes monitoring and diagnosis very inefficient. We discuss how the eG Enterprise solution integrates with the built-in Citrix tools and provides 360 degree unified monitoring for a Citrix infrastructure with automated root-cause diagnosis.
At Noon – The Social Learning Platform, on a daily basis we process close to 100M audio, sketch samples from more than 80K students to help measure the voice & sketch quality of our online classrooms. This talk explores the need for real time analytics in EdTech, how we built a real time analytics platform on Apache Druid & Apache Flink to provide realtime feedback on classroom quality & engagement metrics. We will also share some of the lessons we learnt along the way.
How to consolidate Citrix Monitoring in a Single Pane of GlasseG Innovations
A recent survey by eG Innovations and xenappblog found that 68% of organizations are using 2-5 different tools for monitoring and managing their Citrix infrastructure. Multiple monitoring tools make it expensive to operate and troubleshoot IT infrastructure issues. Furthermore, a lot of manual effort is required to diagnose and fix performance issues.
Join Richard Faulkner, Enterprise Solutions Architect and CTP from Conversant Group, and John Worthington, Director of Customer Success at eG Innovations, and learn how you can get a single-pane-of-glass view of your Citrix infrastructure – from the client end to the virtual desktops/apps and even the backend applications.
See how you can:
--Monitor and get proactive alerts on the experience seen by Citrix users
--Track the performance of every layer and every tier of your Citrix infrastructure: NetScalers, StoreFronts, Virtual apps and desktops, WEM, PVS, License servers, etc.
--Troubleshoot in a single click and identify where the root-cause of a problem is: network, or storage, or virtualization, or the Citrix stack?
--Get insights to right-size and optimize your Citrix deployment
Node.js BFFs - our way to the better/micro frontendsEugene Fidelin

"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.
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.
