The need to quickly acquire, process, prepare, store, and analyze data has never been greater. The need for performance crosses the big data ecosystem toofrom the edge to the server to the analytics software, speed matters. Raghunath Nambiar shares a few use cases that have had significant organizational impact where performance was key.

Francisco Webber offers a critical overview of current approaches to artificial intelligence using "brute force" (aka big data machine learning) as well as a practical demonstration of semantic folding, an alternative approach based on computational principles found in the human neocortex. Semantic folding is not just a research prototypeit's a production-grade enterprise technology.

Service consumption chaos is currently one of the biggest challenges in microservice environments. Mike Dvorkin discusses how tackling the complexity of exploding service dependencies and their control through a consistent consumption abstraction can significantly simplify how teams develop, test, deploy, and control applications.

Raghunath Nambiar reviews the big data landscape, reflects on big data lessons learned in enterprise over the last few years, and explores how these organizations avoid their big data environments becoming unmanageable by using simplex management for deployment, administration, monitoring, and reporting no matter how much the environment scales.
