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.

Discord Engineers Add Distributed Tracing to Elixir's Actor Model Without Performance Penalty

Discord engineering detailed how they added distributed tracing to Elixir's actor model. Their custom Transport library wraps messages with trace context and uses dynamic sampling to handle million-user fanouts. CPU optimizations included skipping unsampled traces and filtering context before deserialization, recovering 10+ percentage points of overhead.

Experimental Web Install API Seeks to Improve Application Discovery and Distribution

The new, experimental Web Install API is now in Origin Trial in Microsoft Edge and Chrome. The API allows developers to programmatically trigger a PWA installation prompt from in-app user interactions. The API aims to simplify software discovery and distribution, particularly for users who are unaware of the install icon in the browser’s address bar or do not typically use app stores.
