Testing Schema Registry: Spring Boot and Apache Kafka With JSON Schema

Aggregated on: Wed May 04 2022 14:50:46 GMT+0000 (Coordinated Universal Time)

Introduction Apache Kafka is the most widely used reliable and scalable eventing platform. It helps in providing the base for a fast, scalable, fault-tolerant, event-driven microservice architecture. Any type of data can be published into a Kafka topic and can be read from. Kafka does not provide an out-of-the-box schema validation system and hence is prone to junk data being fed into a topic. Confluent has devised a concept of a schema registry that can be used to implement type checking of messages in any Kafka installation. The Schema Registry needs the message schema to be registered against a topic and it enforces that only messages conforming to the schema are sent to the topic.

Quality Engineering Design for AI Platform Adoption

Aggregated on: Tue May 03 2022 21:50:46 GMT+0000 (Coordinated Universal Time)

Introduction We are in the golden age of AI (1). AI adoption makes businesses more creative, competitive, and responsive. The software-as-a-service (SaaS) model, coupled with the advancements of the cloud, has matured the software production and consumption process. Most organizations prefer to “buy” AI capabilities than “build” their own. Hence SaaS providers, such as Salesforce, SAP, Oracle, etc., have introduced AI platform capabilities, creating AI-as-a-Service (AIaaS) model. This evolution has made AI adoption easier for enterprises (2). For quality assurance (QA) in general, testing in particular plays a vital role in the AI platform adoption. Testing is complex in the adoption of an AI platform and the reasons are:

Leveraging Change Data Capture for Fraud Detection using Arcion Cloud

Aggregated on: Tue May 03 2022 12:05:45 GMT+0000 (Coordinated Universal Time)

During the height of the business intelligence (BI) craze earlier in my career, I worked with an internal reporting team to expose data for extract, transform, and load (ETL) processes that leveraged data structures inspired by Ralph Kimball. It was a new and exciting time in my life to understand how to optimize data for reporting and analysis. Honestly, the schema looked upside down to me, based on my experience with transaction-driven designs. In the end, there were many moving parts and even some dependencies for the existence of a flat file to make sure everything worked properly. The reports ran quickly, but one key factor always bothered me: I was always looking at yesterday’s data.

Making Machine Learning More Accessible for Application Developers

Aggregated on: Tue May 03 2022 00:50:45 GMT+0000 (Coordinated Universal Time)

Introduction Attempts at hand-crafting algorithms for understanding human-generated content have generally been unsuccessful. For example, it is difficult for a computer to “grasp” the semantic content of an image - e.g., a car, cat, coat, etc....… - purely by analyzing its low-level pixels. Color histograms and feature detectors worked to a certain extent, but they were rarely accurate for most applications. In the past decade, the combination of big data and deep learning has fundamentally changed the way we approach computer vision, natural language processing, and other machine learning (ML) applications; tasks ranging from spam email detection to realistic text-to-video synthesis have seen incredible strides, with accuracy metrics on specific tasks reaching superhuman levels. A significant positive side effect of these improvements is an increase in the use of embedding vectors, i.e., model artifacts generated by taking an intermediate result within a deep neural network. OpenAI’s docs page gives an excellent overview:

The 5 Healthcare AI Trends Technologists Need to Know

Aggregated on: Mon May 02 2022 23:35:45 GMT+0000 (Coordinated Universal Time)

Healthcare has been at the epicenter of everything we do for two years. While the pandemic has been a significant driver of the conversation, healthcare technology—artificial intelligence (AI) specifically—has been experiencing explosive growth. One only needs to look at the funding landscape: more than 40 startups have raised at least $20 million in funding specifically to build AI solutions for healthcare applications. But what’s driving this growth? The venture capital trail alone won’t help us understand the trends contributing to AI adoption in healthcare. But the “2022 AI in Healthcare Survey” will. For the second year, Gradient Flow and John Snow Labs asked 300 global respondents what they’re experiencing in their AI programs—from the individuals using them to the challenges and the criteria used to build solutions and validate models. These are the top five trends that emerged from the research.

An Introduction to Graph Data

Aggregated on: Sun May 01 2022 05:35:44 GMT+0000 (Coordinated Universal Time)

This article is an excerpt from the book Machine Learning with PyTorch and Scikit-Learn from the best-selling Python Machine Learning series, updated and expanded to cover PyTorch, transformers, and graph neural networks. Broadly speaking, graphs represent a certain way we describe and capture relationships in data. Graphs are a particular kind of data structure that is nonlinear and abstract. And since graphs are abstract objects, a concrete representation needs to be defined so the graphs can be operated on. Furthermore, graphs can be defined to have certain properties that may require different representations. Figure 1 summarizes the common types of graphs, which we will discuss in more detail in the following subsections:

OLAs vs. SLAs vs. UCs: What They Mean and How They're Different

Aggregated on: Sun May 01 2022 05:05:44 GMT+0000 (Coordinated Universal Time)

Software development is a complex process, and the language that comes with it can be equally complicated. Service level agreements (SLAs), operational level agreements (OLAs), and underpinning contracts (UCs) are just some of the terms you may come across. SLAs, OLAs, and UCs are all parts of the same process, so confusion among the three terms is understandable. As similar as they may be, it’s important to understand their differences. With that in mind, here’s a closer look at what OLAs, SLAs, and UCs are and how they’re different.

Agile Coaches Without Technical Knowledge: How To Overcome the Paradox

Aggregated on: Sun May 01 2022 05:05:44 GMT+0000 (Coordinated Universal Time)

Agile coaches play a vital role in helping companies implement Agile into their ways of working. Coaches may be internal employees of a company, or contractors providing these services on an on-demand basis. In both cases, their goal is to help clients diagnose organizational and interpersonal challenges, and make suggestions on how to use Agile to overcome them. The day-to-day of an Agile coach depends largely from coach to coach and organization to organization. Sometimes, their tasks involve teaching new techniques to large teams; other times, they might help set objectives for an organization, or mentor managers.

API Security Weekly: Issue 163

Aggregated on: Sun May 01 2022 02:05:44 GMT+0000 (Coordinated Universal Time)

This week, we have an article on 7 reasons why API security strategies are failing, details on the recent keynote by Werner Vogels at AWS re:Invent on 6 rules for good API design, an article by Cisco on API discovery, and a review of some of the biggest API security attacks in 2021. Article: 7 Reasons Your API Security Strategy Is Failing This week, AmazicWorld featured a review of why API security strategies are failing to have the desired effect. The author’s view is that whilst developers are well-versed in how to create APIs, the security risks that APIs pose are an increasing threat to organizations. These risks are in large part a consequence of rapid API adoption: the sprawl of APIs is widening the threat landscape, and the fact that APIs are well-documented and can be easily reverse-engineered enables attackers to take advantage of them.

Using AWS Lambda Function URL To Build a Serverless Backend for Slack

Aggregated on: Sat Apr 30 2022 20:05:44 GMT+0000 (Coordinated Universal Time)

A combination of AWS Lambda and Amazon API Gateway is a widely-used architecture for serverless microservices and API-based solutions. They enable developers to focus on their applications, instead of spending time provisioning and managing servers. API Gateway is a feature-rich offering that includes support for different API types (HTTP, REST, WebSocket), multiple authentication schemes, API versioning, canary deployments, and much more! However, if your requirements are simpler and all you need is an HTTP(S) endpoint for your Lambda function (for example, to serve as a webhook), you can use Lambda Function URLs! When you create a function URL, Lambda automatically generates a unique HTTP(S) endpoint that is dedicated to your Lambda function.

How to Handle Early Startup Technical Debt (Or Just Avoid it Entirely)

Aggregated on: Fri Apr 29 2022 23:35:43 GMT+0000 (Coordinated Universal Time)

All early startups share the same first goal. No matter which sector you're aiming to disrupt, and no matter what groundbreaking new product or service you plan to disrupt it with, your prime directive is Get to MVP. Fast. After all, until you have something that people are willing to buy, your startup is really only an idea, not a company. The pressure is on to launch your product or service as fast as possible and so embracing easy, "right enough for now" technical solutions makes sense in the early chaos of startup life. But as you start to find success — once you've built and launched that first crucial offering and customers start calling, once you begin hiring more teams to grow both your product and the organization that supports it — the limitations of your initial technical decisions are going to make themselves known.
