Leveraging the power of SolrCloud and Spark with OpenShiftQAware GmbH
Kubernetes/Cloud-Native-Meetup September 2018, Munich : Talk by Franz Wimmer (@zalintyre, Software Engineer at QAware)
Abstract: One of the most commonly used big data processing frameworks is Apache Spark. Spark manages to process large datasets with parallelization. Solr is a search platform based on Lucene. Solr can be distributed across a cluster using ZooKeeper for configuration management. Both applications can be combined to create performant Big Data applications.
But what if you want to scale up horizonally and add a node? In a manual setup, you'd have to install the new node manually. Cluster orchestrators like OpenShift claim to solve this problem.
This talk shows how to put Spark, Solr and ZooKeeper into containers, which can then be scaled individually inside a cluster using OpenShift. We will cover OpenShift details like DeploymentConfigs, StatefulSets, Services, Routes and Persistent Volumes and install a complete, failsafe and horizontally scaleable SolrCloud / Spark / Zookeeper cluster in seconds.
You will also learn about the drawbacks and pitfalls of running Big Data applications inside an OpenShift cluster.

More and more, we think about responsive design beyond just RWD. The future of interactions is being redefined each day with new devices, emerging ecosystems and unplanned user flows. Could responsive design be perceived as intelligent? Should our daily tools act (and feel) smarter? Is it too much to ask for designers and developers to go that extra mile, and minimize the friction that is often created by poor interactions, integrations and experiences. Now that we are designing with screen sizes and aspect ratios in mind, we should go a step further and plan strategically to utilize the device data that’s already collected and available. Tin's talk provides case studies of where intelligent design with fewer features has had a great impact. In this session you'll expand your definition of responsive beyond RWD, rethink how you design and develop responsive software, see examples of how intelligent design can improve industry-leading applications, see how you can include Smart First approach into your UX and UI processes.
Define enterprise integration strategy by industry leader bhawani nandanprasadBhawani N Prasad
The document discusses enterprise integration strategies and methods. It defines integration strategy as using tools and technologies that are fit for the task and documented standards. It then compares different integration methods like batch file transfer, ETL, direct data access, messaging, services/ESB. For each method it discusses characteristics, considerations, capabilities, tools and compares them on criteria like availability, flexibility and complexity. It also reviews common integration patterns like datagram, fan-in, fan-out, publish-subscribe and request-reply.
In the 1990s, many companies implemented packaged software solutions like SAP and Oracle ERP, but these systems were difficult to integrate. Each system stored redundant customer data, requiring manual updates when data changed. This led to inconsistent data across systems. To address this, companies sought to integrate their systems, giving rise to the field of enterprise application integration (EAI). EAI uses middleware to integrate disparate applications and data in a way that is flexible and isolates changes in one application from impacting others. Middleware provides generic interfaces that applications can use to communicate, replacing brittle point-to-point integration and improving manageability, scalability, and other benefits.
The document discusses Microsoft Dynamics AX 2012's Application Integration Framework (AIF) which enables integration and communication with external systems through XML exchange. It describes the different types of services in AX 2012 - document services, custom services, and system services. It also explains key AIF concepts like adapters, messages, and developing services. Integration ports use adapters like HTTP, MSMQ, and NetTCP to enable communication via different transport protocols.
Enterprise Integration Patterns with Spring integration!hegdekiranr
“Spring Integration (different from Core Spring Framework) is an Enterprise Integration Patterns implementation.
It provides lightweight messaging within Spring-based applications and supports integration with external systems via declarative adapters.
Those adapters provide a higher-level of abstraction over Spring's support for remoting, messaging, and scheduling.
The document discusses APIs and how they can be used by businesses. It notes that APIs allow businesses to make resources available to internal and external partners through standard web protocols. The document then discusses how APIs can be managed through an API management platform, which allows businesses to create, publish, protect, monitor, and monetize their APIs. It provides examples of large companies that make heavy use of APIs, such as Twitter, Netflix, Facebook, and Amazon.
Why should your enterprise be service-oriented?
Service Oriented Architecture is not a buzzword or a nice to have. It has become a mandatory approach to support modern businesses and new organizational structures. Your architecture must be ready to provide real value to your business users, partners and customers by aligning with their processes and streamlining their activities. Especially in today’s digital world and this on an organizational, project and architectural level. This makes SOA the foundation for your API management and a controlled outside-in strategy.
Still on a nightly batch update for just-in-time information?
Or are people still copy & pasting information from one system to another? By 2017 65% of integration efforts will be delivered outside of central IT services. To keep your business competitive, to have a mobile strategy and to support innovation in your business; integration must be top of mind. Your API-management strategy allows you to open up new channels and have trusted partners provide new customers or services in a controlled and secure way.
How do you decide where to start? What can be your SOA minimal viable product (MVP)?
Join us at our next AE Foyer to get insight on how to implement a successful integration architecture and see inspiring examples in action!

Microservices: Where do they fit within a rapidly evolving integration archit...Kim Clark
Do microservices force us to look differently at the way we lay down and evolve our integration architecture, or are they purely about how we build applications? Are microservices a new concept, or an evolution of the many ideas that came before them? What is the relationship between microservices and other key initiatives such as APIs, SOA, and Agile. In this session, we will unpick what microservices really are, and indeed what they are not. We will consider whether there is something unique about this particular point time in technology that has enables microservice concepts to take hold. Finally, we will look at if, when, where and how an enterprise can take on the benefits of microservices, and what products and technologies are applicable for that journey.
Microservices - Death of the Enterprise Service Bus (ESB)? (Update 2016)Kai Wähner
Microservices are the next step after SOA: Services implement a limited set of functions. Services are developed, deployed and scaled independently.
Continuous Integration and Continuous Delivery control deployments. This way you get shorter time to results and increased flexibility. Microservices have to be independent regarding build, deployment, data management and business domains. A solid Microservices design requires single responsibility, loose coupling and a decentralized architecture. A Microservice can to be closed or open to partners and public via APIs. This session discusses the requirements, best practices and challenges for creating a good Microservices architecture, and if this spells the end of the Enterprise Service Bus (ESB). A live demo will show how middleware and Microservices complement each other using containers, continuous integration, REST services, and open source frameworks such as Cloud Foundry.
A live demo showed a "Microservices Middleware Architecture" using Cloud Integration (with Cloud Foundry PaaS), Integration and Services (with TIBCO BusinessWorks Container Edition), API Management / Open API (with Mashery) amd Log Management / IT Operations Analytics (ITOA, with Papertrail and LogLogic / Unity).
Flogo - A Golang-powered Open Source IoT Integration Framework (Gophercon)Kai Wähner
Golang-powered open source IoT project Flogo to build ultra-lightweight integration microservices.
The Internet of Things (IoT) brings up 50 billion devices until 2020, which have to be connected somehow. Challenges include low bandwidth, high latency, non-reliable connectivity and the need for low network costs. Therefore, a gateway is needed remotely on site of the devices to filter, aggregate and send just relevant data into the cloud or data center. This session introduces project Flogo: A 100% open source framework, which allows developing ultra lightweight IoT integration applications with a zero-coding web user interface or design chat bot. Coders can also rely just on code, of course. It is written in Google’s Go programming language and 20-50x more lightweight than similar Java or JavaScript frameworks. Therefore building very lightweight microservices independent of IoT is another good use case for this framework, e.g. for serverless architectures using open source frameworks such as OpenWhisk. The session focuses on live demos and shows how to build microservices and integrate IoT devices using standards such as MQTT, WebSockets, CoaP or REST. The last part of the session compares Project Flogo to other open source IoT projects like Node-RED and SaaS offerings such as AWS IoT.

Open API and API Management - Introduction and Comparison of Products: TIBCO ...Kai Wähner
In October 2014, I had a talk at Jazoon in Zurich, Switzerland: "A New Front for SOA: Open API and API Management as Game Changer"
Open API represent the leading edge of a new business model, providing innovative ways for companies to expand brand value and routes to market, and create new value chains for intellectual property. In the past, SOA strategies mostly targeted internal users. Open APIs target mostly external partners.
This session introduces the concepts of Open API, its challenges and opportunities. API Management will become important in many areas, no matter if business-to-business (B2B) or business-to-customer (B2C) communication. Several real world use cases will discuss how to gain leverage due to API Management. The end of the session shows and compares API management products from different vendors such as TIBCO API Exchange, IBM, Apigee, 3scale, WSO2, MuleSoft, Mashery, Layer 7, Vordel
Oracle is announcing unlimited ongoing development and support for its applications portfolio, including new versions of PeopleSoft, JD Edwards, and Siebel products that will provide customers choice and value. It is also detailing its Fusion strategy to deliver a next generation of integrated applications and middleware based on service-oriented architecture and grid computing that lowers costs through greater flexibility. Customers are encouraged to continue collaborating with Oracle through user groups and other channels to help drive the product roadmap.
The webinar discussed Oracle SOA Suite and process-centric integration approaches.

AI Changes Everything – Talk at Cardiff Metropolitan University, 29th April 2...Alan Dix
Talk at the final event of Data Fusion Dynamics: A Collaborative UK-Saudi Initiative in Cybersecurity and Artificial Intelligence funded by the British Council UK-Saudi Challenge Fund 2024, Cardiff Metropolitan University, 29th April 2025
https://alandix.com/academic/talks/CMet2025-AI-Changes-Everything/
Is AI just another technology, or does it fundamentally change the way we live and think?
Every technology has a direct impact with micro-ethical consequences, some good, some bad. However more profound are the ways in which some technologies reshape the very fabric of society with macro-ethical impacts. The invention of the stirrup revolutionised mounted combat, but as a side effect gave rise to the feudal system, which still shapes politics today. The internal combustion engine offers personal freedom and creates pollution, but has also transformed the nature of urban planning and international trade. When we look at AI the micro-ethical issues, such as bias, are most obvious, but the macro-ethical challenges may be greater.
At a micro-ethical level AI has the potential to deepen social, ethnic and gender bias, issues I have warned about since the early 1990s! It is also being used increasingly on the battlefield. However, it also offers amazing opportunities in health and educations, as the recent Nobel prizes for the developers of AlphaFold illustrate. More radically, the need to encode ethics acts as a mirror to surface essential ethical problems and conflicts.
At the macro-ethical level, by the early 2000s digital technology had already begun to undermine sovereignty (e.g. gambling), market economics (through network effects and emergent monopolies), and the very meaning of money. Modern AI is the child of big data, big computation and ultimately big business, intensifying the inherent tendency of digital technology to concentrate power. AI is already unravelling the fundamentals of the social, political and economic world around us, but this is a world that needs radical reimagining to overcome the global environmental and human challenges that confront us. Our challenge is whether to let the threads fall as they may, or to use them to weave a better future.

TrustArc Webinar: Consumer Expectations vs Corporate Realities on Data Broker...TrustArc
Most consumers believe they’re making informed decisions about their personal data—adjusting privacy settings, blocking trackers, and opting out where they can. However, our new research reveals that while awareness is high, taking meaningful action is still lacking. On the corporate side, many organizations report strong policies for managing third-party data and consumer consent yet fall short when it comes to consistency, accountability and transparency.
This session will explore the research findings from TrustArc’s Privacy Pulse Survey, examining consumer attitudes toward personal data collection and practical suggestions for corporate practices around purchasing third-party data.
Attendees will learn:
- Consumer awareness around data brokers and what consumers are doing to limit data collection
- How businesses assess third-party vendors and their consent management operations
- Where business preparedness needs improvement
- What these trends mean for the future of privacy governance and public trust
This discussion is essential for privacy, risk, and compliance professionals who want to ground their strategies in current data and prepare for what’s next in the privacy landscape.
