Build A Crypto Price Tracker Using Node.js and Cassandra

Aggregated on: Fri Dec 24 2021 05:04:25 GMT+0000 (Coordinated Universal Time)

Since the big bang in the data technology landscape happened a decade and a half ago, giving rise to technologies like Hadoop, which cater to the four ‘V’s. — volume, variety, velocity, and veracity there has been an uptick in the use of databases with specialized capabilities to cater to different types of data and usage patterns. You can now see companies using graph databases, time-series databases, document databases, and others for different customer and internal workloads. Apache Cassandra™ is a wide-column, NoSQL database that is ideal when used for append-only, write-intensive workloads that capture data from IoT sensors, GPS devices, transaction logs, any time-series applications, and more. A lot of these applications need to be coupled with visualization engines for creating reports and dashboards. As most of the visualization libraries are written in JavaScript, using Node.js to interact with the database and the visualization engine is a good idea.

Technology Bridging the Gap Between CNC Machines & Robots

Aggregated on: Fri Dec 24 2021 00:19:24 GMT+0000 (Coordinated Universal Time)

Having different software languages can create a communication barrier between robots and the CNC machines they assist. Digital factories can be transformed once the two are synced, and technology is bridging the gap to make it happen. As Industry 4.0 revolutionizes the manufacturing world, robots can be increasingly seen working alongside CNC machines - but only so well. The controllers used by robotics manufacturers rarely coincide with the software that makes CNC machines run, so a fully synchronized operation can be very difficult to achieve. The result is untapped potential in automated manufacturing, as robot-CNC machine interfaces work with less productivity than they could otherwise obtain.

Aggregated on: Thu Dec 23 2021 16:19:24 GMT+0000 (Coordinated Universal Time)

Day 1 Day 2 Day 3 Yesterday I got the second PR out of the door (and the 3rd although that was automated). Today wasn't as productive. Winter just started in full force around these parts, and yesterday, everything was flooded. This slowed down some of my work, especially after my son's kindergarten was flooded and he had to stay home. Still, I could make progress thanks to the fact that the code now runs end to end. That means I can start debugging the whole thing by using the command line and setting a breakpoint in the backend. Very convenient.

TiDB Operator Source Code Reading (V): Backup and Restore

Ubuntu Multipass as Kubernetes Host on Windows

Aggregated on: Thu Dec 23 2021 13:49:24 GMT+0000 (Coordinated Universal Time)

Getting a Windows node to join a bare-bone Kubernetes cluster can be a daunting experience. In this posting I will demonstrate an easy way to achieve this using 1) a secondary network adaptor and 2) Ubuntu Multipass to create the required virtual machine on Windows. This posting requires a working knowledge of Kubernetes, especially how to prepare and join a worker node to the cluster. A practice project to spin up a Kubernetes cluster with Ingress and MetalLB load-balancing using Ansible inspired the write-up and parts of that solution will be used. As such knowledge of Ansible might be beneficial but is not required.

In recent years, NoSQL distributed databases have become common, as they are built from the ground up to be distributed. Yet they force difficult design choices such as choosing availability over consistency, data integrity, and ease of query to meet their applications’ need for scale. This Refcard serves as a reference to the key characteristics of distributed SQL databases, how functionality compares across vendors' offerings, and the criteria for designing a proof of concept.

High-Performance Java Serialization to Different Formats

Aggregated on: Wed Dec 22 2021 22:49:24 GMT+0000 (Coordinated Universal Time)

Java serialization is a popular mechanism where you are able to serialize and deserialize complex object graphs; for example where object A can contain a reference to object B, which in turn has a reference back to object A. The problem is that this rich functionality comes at a performance cost. However, if you do not need to serialize these types of recursive graphs, you can instead use an Open Source solution called Chronicle Wire. It has reduced complexity and uses tree-like structures which makes it very efficient. Moreover, it can be done in a lot of different formats with no need to change the coding. This article covers the basics of serialization and discusses some of the key advantages of Chronicle Wire. Serialization and Deserialization Serialization is about encoding java objects into bytes, for example, we have an object. Let’s say our object holds our application state, if we were to shut down our application we would lose the state, we want to first store our application's state to disk, so we serialize our java state object. This will convert the object into bytes, which can be easily stored. Likewise, If we want to send the data stored in our java object, over the network, we first have to serialize the object, before it can be written to the TCP/IP buffer. Deserialization is the opposite of serialization, where we start with a byte and recreate an object instance.

How To Move IBM App Connect Enterprise to Containers - Part 2(a)

Aggregated on: Wed Dec 22 2021 13:19:23 GMT+0000 (Coordinated Universal Time)

Scenario 2(a): Deploy a Simple Toolkit Message Flow Onto Red Hat OpenShift Using the Command Line Interface (CLI) In Scenario 1 we took a simple flow from IBM Integration Bus and demonstrated we could get it running in IBM App Connect Enterprise on an isolated Docker container. This was a good start, but of course, in a real production environment, we would need more than just an isolated container. We would want to be able to create multiple copies of the container in order to provide high availability and to scale up when the incoming workload increases. We would also need to be able to automatically spread the workload across all those container replicas. This and much more is what is provided by a container orchestration platform, and the most commonly used platform today is of course Kubernetes. In this scenario, we’re going to take that same simple flow and deploy it onto Kubernetes and demonstrate some of these orchestration platform features.

AI Engineering Development Process

Aggregated on: Wed Dec 22 2021 09:34:23 GMT+0000 (Coordinated Universal Time)

Motivation for AI Engineering Development Process Artificial intelligence (AI) applications often involve not only classical application engineering but also elements of research. Sometimes it is not clear from the start which approach will be better and one needs to conduct experiments to evaluate multiple approaches. For example, if we are building a machine learning model we would need to evaluate and experiment with different features until we find an optimal feature set. Furthermore, if we are building machine learning models, usually debugging is not an easy task. Also in many cases, it is not trivial to evaluate the performance of statistical models and how this performance will translate to business value. All these factors can add an additional layer of complexity that the engineering teams need to cope with.

Scaling in Azure App Service – Almost Everything You Need To Know

Aggregated on: Tue Dec 21 2021 17:34:23 GMT+0000 (Coordinated Universal Time)

Introduction In terms of web applications, underlying infrastructure plays a vital role in coping with application performance, traffic surges, complex logic, and long-running processor execution times. It is one of the most difficult jobs to calculate the specifications in terms of infrastructure for web applications, whether it is public-facing applications or for a particular company. In many cases, there is a high chance that there will be a requirement to upgrade infrastructure specifications after a certain threshold, or maybe resources are not utilized properly. This is another hassle for developers, DevOps engineers, or even for management to upgrade those resources. It may result in application downtime, instability, or sometimes modifications in code level, as well as overall cost augmentation.

Edge computing provides an answer to several of the traditional cloud’s shortcomings. Data generation will only continue growing, and data processing operations need the edge’s lower latencies, scalability, and resilience. However, these advantages won’t come without effort. Creating an edge environment in and of itself won’t deliver on the loftiest promises of this technology. These are complex networks, and as such, require careful planning for organizations to make the most of them.

4 Kubernetes Anti-Patterns to Avoid

Aggregated on: Tue Dec 21 2021 15:34:23 GMT+0000 (Coordinated Universal Time)

An anti-pattern is a high-risk solution to a problem that’s usually ineffective. At first glance, these types of solutions appear appropriate and effective. However, any gains from these patterns tend to be short-term, with the consequences showing anti-patterns to be more trouble than they’re worth. When a developer adopts an anti-pattern, there is usually the intention to come back and do it properly down the road, unless other more pressing needs get in the way (and they always do). Deviating from best-practice design patterns creates technical debt, which, sooner or later, must be paid—either in time and effort for refactoring or money due to system unavailability.

The free, open-source CMS is also supported by advanced plugins that enable users to customize the look and feel of their websites. Besides this, WordPress is supported by a global community of volunteers who develop plugins and themes, making it easy to learn, adapt, and scale quickly. While it is convenient and reliable for most website projects, WordPress requires strict observation of best practices to keep sites secure. In addition, since WordPress runs on open-source code, thousands of contributors take time to find, identify, and fix WordPress security issues.
