Old industries, sexy data: How machine learning is reshaping the world's backbone industries

October 22, 2019

Over the past decade, machine learning has become intertwined with newer, Internet-born businesses. This despite the fact that the vast majority of global GDP turns on larger, less visible industries like energy and construction. David Beyer explores the ways these backbone industries are adopting machine-intelligent applications and the trends underlying this shift.

Scala and the JVM as a big data platform: Lessons from Apache Spark

October 21, 2019

The success of Apache Spark is bringing developers to Scala. For big data, the JVM uses memory inefficiently, causing significant GC challenges. Spark's Project Tungsten fixes these problems with custom data layouts and code generation. Dean Wampler gives an overview of Spark, explaining ongoing improvements and what we should do to improve Scala and the JVM for big data.

What if we have reached the point where open source can handle massively difficult streaming problems with enterprise-grade durability? Ilya Ganelin presents Capital Ones novel solution for real-time decisioning on Apache Apex. Ilya shows how Apex provides unique capabilities that ensure less than 2 ms latency in an enterprise-grade solution on Hadoop.
