How can deep learning be employed to create a system that monitors network traffic, operations data, and system logs to reliably flag risk and unearth potential threats? Satish Dandu, Joshua Patterson, and Michael Balint explain how to bootstrap a deep learning framework to detect risk and threats in operational production systems, using best-of-breed GPU-accelerated open source tools.

Sahaana Suri offers an overview of MacroBase, a new analytics engine from Stanford designed to prioritize the scarcest resource in large-scale, fast-moving data streams: human attention. MacroBase allows reconfigurable, real-time root-cause analyses that have already diagnosed issues in production streams in mobile, data center, and industrial applications.

Mateusz Dymczyk and Mathieu Dumoulin showcase a working, practical, predictive maintenance pipeline in action and explain how they built a state-of-the-art anomaly detection system using big data frameworks like Spark, H2O, TensorFlow, and Kafka on the MapR Converged Data Platform.

Microservices are become critical for enterprise strategy towards simplifying their IT landscape. For a successful journey of microservice adoption, Container management, DevOps and Monitoring play an …

GoDaddy ingests and analyzes 100,000 EPS of logs, metrics, and events each day. Felix Gorodishter shares GoDaddy's big data journey and explains how the company makes sense of 10+-TB-per-day growth for operational insights of its cloud leveraging Kafka, Hadoop, Spark, Pig, Hive, Cassandra, and Elasticsearch.

Cesar Berho and Alan Ross offer an overview of open source project Apache Spot (incubating), which delivers next-generation cybersecurity analytics architecture through unsupervised learning using machine-learning techniques at cloud scale for anomaly detection.

Tony Xing offers an overview of Microsoft's common anomaly detection platform, an API service built internally to provide product teams the flexibility to plug in any anomaly detection algorithms to fit their own signal types.

Life doesnt happen in batches. Being able to work with data from continuous events as data streams is a better fit to the way life happens, but doing so presents some challenges. Ellen Friedman examines the advantages and issues involved in working with streaming data, takes a look at emerging technologies for streaming, and describes best practices for this style of work.
