Code reviews are essential to improve the quality of code and reduce defects. In the session "Code review, you said?" Venkat Subramaniam (Founder of Agile Developer, Inc) discussed the issues with conventional code reviews and looked at ways to turn this into an effective practice that the team will relish.
With dynamic infrastructure and complex pricing models, cloud costs can quickly spiral out of control. In the session "FinOps - Principles and cloud cost observability" Athakorn Ongsiriporn (Senior Consultant Developer at Thoughtworks) presented key principles of FinOps, and the journey of adopting FinOps for a multi-cluster cloud platform.
Platforms have fueled some of the most successful business models of the past decade. However, building one for your enterprise isn’t as simple as it looks–many platform initiatives are doomed from the start. This book provides valuable guidance for organizations on a platform journey.
Split a Lambda function in more discrete targeted components helps to scale the application, provides high resilience, improved security, and hopefully better costs. But how can we achieve effective permission and resource management and operational simplicity?
Adaptive Query Execution reoptimizes and adjusts query plans based on runtime metrics collected during the execution of the query. As of Spark 3.0, there are three major features in AQE - coalescing post-shuffle partitions,converting sort-merge join to broadcast join, and optimizing skew join.
Embracing serverless - in this session Guido Trüeb (Principal Cloud Engineer at Swiss Marketplace Group) delved into the journey of transitioning an on-premises monolithic real estate application to a fully serverless, event-driven microservices stack on AWS.
Serverless is much more than an abstraction over compute run-time. In this session Gregor Hohpe (Senior Principal Evangelist at AWS) reflected on how serverless influences application delivery and took a peek at recent trends.
The AWS Europe (Zurich) Region went live on November 9th 2022. In the past year AWS has rolled out a lot of additional services in eu-central-2.
This year the Cloud Practice Camp took place in Olten - 4 days, 20 participants, lively discussions & exchange of experiences, proof of concept design & implementation and a lot of fun.
SaaS architecture varies across domains, stacks, and customer requirements. In this session Patrick Madec (AWS Solutions Architect) took a detailed dive into the landscape of these SaaS patterns from concept to implementation.
Data skipping for Delta Lake is using min and max of each column to speed up queries. However, skipping effectiveness is only high for the first column, but rapidly drops for subsequent ones. Z Ordering data reorganizes the data and allows certain queries to read less data, so they run faster.
