 Veda Shankar explains how the GDF technology works, shows how it is enabling a diverse set of GPU workloads, and demonstrates how to use a Jupyter Notebook to take advantage of it. He demonstrates on a very large dataset how to manage a full Machine Learning Pipeline with minimal data exchange overhead between MapD's SQL engine and H2O's generalized linear model library. (Presentation) |
 The goal of Spark MLlib is to make practical machine learning scalable and easy. In addition to providing a set of common learning algorithms such as classification, regression, clustering, and collaborative filtering, it also provides a set of tools to help with building maintainable ML pipelines. Hien Luu dives into the concepts and details of these tools as well as the benefits they provide. (Presentation) |

 Carl Lerche shows how Rust’s “zero cost abstractions” can be leveraged to provide a networking platform that provides expressiveness, speed, and safety with tradeoffs between them. He describes how these techniques are used in Linkerd, a “service mesh” proxy for the next generation of cloud native applications. (Presentation)

 In enterprise test scenarios, software needs to be tested in the same way as it will run in production. This article provides a practical demonstration of testing Java microservices that are running on Kubernetes with the Istio service mesh. K8s service abstractions enable mocking, and Istio enables us to re-route traffic and inject faulty responses or delays to verify our services' resiliency. (Article) |
SPONSOR AD  Learn how the Istio service mesh improves traffic control, service resiliency, testing, observability, and security of your microservices. Download the eBook. |

| The C# compiler, under some circumstances involving readonly, creates defensive copies of a struct. While this issue is well known and documented, it’s worth revisiting as it’s tied to several features of C# 7.2. The in and ref readonly keywords make occurrences of the issue more frequent, while readonly structs offer a way to fix it. (News) |

 We explore how successful software development is based on the following three intertwining thought processes: Systems Thinking, Community Context and Reflective Practices. A majority of unsuccessful transformations result from a failure by members of the team to grasp that they are contributing to a larger system, or an unwillingness to learn how to improve, or that software is a team sport. (Article) |
 The book “Microservices, a Practical Guide, Principles, Concepts and Recipes” by Eberhard Wolff explores technology stacks for microservices-based architectures that can be used on the implementation decisions at the overall system level. Targeted to architects, developers and operations, it provides a set of recipes along with executable samples that can be used to address different needs. (Article) |
 PSD2 will force all European banks to offer three APIs (Accounts, Transactions and Payments) free of charges to all 3rd parties approved by the ECB. This will allow new players to bring new and innovative products to the financial sector. For a successful transformation into a digital company, banks must evolve on three axis: Culture & People, Technology & Skills and Technical debt management. (Article) |
 Srini Uppalapati and Kiran Satelli talk about how CapitalOne migrated customer accounts and transactions to a completely serverless architecture and built a scalable, resilient, and fast Transactions and Accounts platform by leveraging DynamoDB, step-functions, Lambda, and other services within the serverless ecosystem. They share their goals and lessons learned as they built an entirely new solution. (Presentation)

 What are the characteristics of an operations practice that actively influence a system towards greater resiliency? Which practices pretend to assist us in this goal but really work against us? This talk includes concrete examples from the breadth of the Site Reliability Engineering discipline to illustrate just how these practices work. (Presentation)

 Donna Malayeri talks about how Pulumi has helped their customers transition from a traditional architecture to one that uses serverless and containers. They can now ship solutions more quickly, as their deployment and ops practices are far simpler. It’s not serverless OR containers, it’s serverless AND containers. (Presentation)
