Lessons Learned from Building Machine Learning Software at NetflixJustin Basilico

Talk from Software Engineering for Machine Learning Workshop (SW4ML) at the Neural Information Processing Systems (NIPS) 2014 conference in Montreal, Canada on 2014-12-13. Abstract: Building a real system that incorporates machine learning as a part can be a difficult effort, both in terms of the algorithmic and engineering challenges involved. In this talk I will focus on the engineering side and discuss some of the practical issues we’ve encountered in developing real machine learning systems at Netflix and some of the lessons we’ve learned over time. I will describe our approach for building machine learning systems and how it comes from a desire to balance many different, and sometimes conflicting, requirements such as handling large volumes of data, choosing and adapting good algorithms, keeping recommendations fresh and accurate, remaining responsive to user actions, and also being flexible to accommodate research and experimentation. I will focus on what it takes to put machine learning into a real system that works in a feedback loop with our users and how that imposes different requirements and a different focus than doing machine learning only within a lab environment. I will address the particular software engineering challenges that we’ve faced in running our algorithms at scale in the cloud. I will also mention some simple design patterns that we’ve fond to be useful across a wide variety of machine-learned systems.

Building A Machine Learning Platform At Quora (1)Nikhil Garg

Nikhil Garg outlines 7 reasons why Quora chose to build their own machine learning platform rather than buy an existing one. He explains that no commercial platform can provide all the capabilities they need, including building end-to-end online production systems, integrating ML experimentation and production, openly using open source algorithms, addressing Quora's specific business needs, and ensuring ML is central to Quora's strategic focus and competitive advantage. He concludes that any company doing serious ML work needs to build an internal platform to sustain innovation at scale.

Picking the right architecture and sticking to itPetter Holmström

The document provides guidance on choosing an architecture for a project, sticking to it, and evolving it over time. It emphasizes doing research upfront on project scope, requirements, and potential risks. The initial design should consider experimenting with new approaches but also prototyping risky features. Future changes should be considered but not overdesigned for. The architecture must be documented and explained to the team. Tests and code reviews help ensure the architecture is followed. While 90% of features can be implemented as designed, the architecture must be flexible to handle unexpected changes through open communication and potential compromises.

Java Generics - by ExampleGanesh Samarthyam

This document provides an overview of Java generics through examples. It begins with simple examples demonstrating how generics can be used to define container classes (BoxPrinter) and pair classes (Pair). It discusses benefits like type safety and avoiding duplication. Further examples show generics with methods and limitations like erasure. Wildcard types are presented as a way to address subtyping issues. In general, generics provide flexibility in coding but their syntax can sometimes be complex to read.

Software Architecture - Quiz QuestionsGanesh Samarthyam

The document describes an application with a pipe-and-filter architecture pattern where sensor data flows through multiple components that each transform the data before passing it to the next component and finally to a modeling and visualization unit. It then asks questions about software architecture patterns and styles like pipe-and-filter, lambda architecture, decorator pattern, Conway's law, architecture drift, REST, event sourcing, and recommends architecture refactoring when dependency analysis finds numerous cycles and tangles.

What Do Contribution Guidelines Say About Software Testing? (MSR 2025)Andre Hora

Software testing plays a crucial role in the contribution process of open-source projects. For example, contributions introducing new features are expected to include tests, and contributions with tests are more likely to be accepted. Although most real-world projects require contributors to write tests, the specific testing practices communicated to contributors remain unclear. In this paper, we present an empirical study to understand better how software testing is approached in contribution guidelines. We analyze the guidelines of 200 Python and JavaScript open-source software projects. We find that 78% of the projects include some form of test documentation for contributors. Test documentation is located in multiple sources, including CONTRIBUTING files (58%), external documentation (24%), and README files (8%). Furthermore, test documentation commonly explains how to run tests (83.5%), but less often provides guidance on how to write tests (37%). It frequently covers unit tests (71%), but rarely addresses integration (20.5%) and end-to-end tests (15.5%). Other key testing aspects are also less frequently discussed: test coverage (25.5%) and mocking (9.5%). We conclude by discussing implications and future research.

Scaling GraphRAG: Efficient Knowledge Retrieval for Enterprise AIdanshalev

If we were building a GenAI stack today, we'd start with one question: Can your retrieval system handle multi-hop logic? Trick question, b/c most can’t. They treat retrieval as nearest-neighbor search. Today, we discussed scaling #GraphRAG at AWS DevOps Day, and the takeaway is clear: VectorRAG is naive, lacks domain awareness, and can’t handle full dataset retrieval. GraphRAG builds a knowledge graph from source documents, allowing for a deeper understanding of the data + higher accuracy.

How Valletta helped healthcare SaaS to transform QA and compliance to grow wi...Egor Kaleynik

This case study explores how we partnered with a mid-sized U.S. healthcare SaaS provider to help them scale from a successful pilot phase to supporting over 10,000 users—while meeting strict HIPAA compliance requirements. Faced with slow, manual testing cycles, frequent regression bugs, and looming audit risks, their growth was at risk. Their existing QA processes couldn’t keep up with the complexity of real-time biometric data handling, and earlier automation attempts had failed due to unreliable tools and fragmented workflows. We stepped in to deliver a full QA and DevOps transformation. Our team replaced their fragile legacy tests with Testim’s self-healing automation, integrated Postman and OWASP ZAP into Jenkins pipelines for continuous API and security validation, and leveraged AWS Device Farm for real-device, region-specific compliance testing. Custom deployment scripts gave them control over rollouts without relying on heavy CI/CD infrastructure. The result? Test cycle times were reduced from 3 days to just 8 hours, regression bugs dropped by 40%, and they passed their first HIPAA audit without issue—unlocking faster contract signings and enabling them to expand confidently. More than just a technical upgrade, this project embedded compliance into every phase of development, proving that SaaS providers in regulated industries can scale fast and stay secure.

Exceptional Behaviors: How Frequently Are They Tested? (AST 2025)Andre Hora

Exceptions allow developers to handle error cases expected to occur infrequently. Ideally, good test suites should test both normal and exceptional behaviors to catch more bugs and avoid regressions. While current research analyzes exceptions that propagate to tests, it does not explore other exceptions that do not reach the tests. In this paper, we provide an empirical study to explore how frequently exceptional behaviors are tested in real-world systems. We consider both exceptions that propagate to tests and the ones that do not reach the tests. For this purpose, we run an instrumented version of test suites, monitor their execution, and collect information about the exceptions raised at runtime. We analyze the test suites of 25 Python systems, covering 5,372 executed methods, 17.9M calls, and 1.4M raised exceptions. We find that 21.4% of the executed methods do raise exceptions at runtime. In methods that raise exceptions, on the median, 1 in 10 calls exercise exceptional behaviors. Close to 80% of the methods that raise exceptions do so infrequently, but about 20% raise exceptions more frequently. Finally, we provide implications for researchers and practitioners. We suggest developing novel tools to support exercising exceptional behaviors and refactoring expensive try/except blocks. We also call attention to the fact that exception-raising behaviors are not necessarily “abnormal” or rare.

Explaining GitHub Actions Failures with Large Language Models Challenges, In...ssuserb14185

GitHub Actions (GA) has become the de facto tool that developers use to automate software workflows, seamlessly building, testing, and deploying code. Yet when GA fails, it disrupts development, causing delays and driving up costs. Diagnosing failures becomes especially challenging because error logs are often long, complex and unstructured. Given these difficulties, this study explores the potential of large language models (LLMs) to generate correct, clear, concise, and actionable contextual descriptions (or summaries) for GA failures, focusing on developers’ perceptions of their feasibility and usefulness. Our results show that over 80% of developers rated LLM explanations positively in terms of correctness for simpler/small logs. Overall, our findings suggest that LLMs can feasibly assist developers in understanding common GA errors, thus, potentially reducing manual analysis. However, we also found that improved reasoning abilities are needed to support more complex CI/CD scenarios. For instance, less experienced developers tend to be more positive on the described context, while seasoned developers prefer concise summaries. Overall, our work offers key insights for researchers enhancing LLM reasoning, particularly in adapting explanations to user expertise. https://arxiv.org/abs/2501.16495

Proactive Vulnerability Detection in Source Code Using Graph Neural Networks:...Ranjan Baisak

As software complexity grows, traditional static analysis tools struggle to detect vulnerabilities with both precision and context—often triggering high false positive rates and developer fatigue. This article explores how Graph Neural Networks (GNNs), when applied to source code representations like Abstract Syntax Trees (ASTs), Control Flow Graphs (CFGs), and Data Flow Graphs (DFGs), can revolutionize vulnerability detection. We break down how GNNs model code semantics more effectively than flat token sequences, and how techniques like attention mechanisms, hybrid graph construction, and feedback loops significantly reduce false positives. With insights from real-world datasets and recent research, this guide shows how to build more reliable, proactive, and interpretable vulnerability detection systems using GNNs.
