Event Description
Introduction to Spark
Presented by Carol McDonald, MapR Technologies
Apache Spark is a fast and general engine for large-scale data processing. In contrast to Hadoop's two-stage disk-based MapReduce paradigm, Spark's in-memory primitives provide performance up to 100 times faster for certain applications.
The Spark software stack includes a core data-proccessing engine, an interface for interactive querying, Sparkstreaming for streaming data analysis, and growing libraries for machine-learning and graph analysis. Spark is quickly establishing itself as a leading environment for doing fast, iterative in-memory and streaming analysis.
This talk will give an introduction the Spark stack, explain how Spark has lighting fast results, and how it complements Apache Hadoop.

Logz.io and Dynatrace Innovations Shift Observability Into the AI Age
Major observability platform providers are integrating artificial intelligence into their monitoring systems, as enterprises look to their suppliers to reduce the manual work involved in keeping an eye on digital infrastructure. Companies have implemented AI-driven features designed to automate routine operational tasks and accelerate incident resolution processes.
By Matt SaundersReport Shows OpenTelemetry’s Impact on Go Performance
A new benchmark study from observability platform Coroot has shed light on the performance costs of implementing OpenTelemetry in high-throughput Go applications. The findings show that while OpenTelemetry delivers valuable trace-level insights, it introduces notable overhead, increasing CPU usage by approximately 35% and increasing network traffic and latency under load.

AI images typically bloat from massive library installations and base OS components, with large Docker images slowing AI development and increasing costs. Chirag Agrawal demonstrates how to diagnose bloat using Docker's history and the interactive 'dive' tool to examine each layer in detail. The article shows how effective diagnosis leads to targeted optimizations.
