Why would a data scientist use Kafka Jupyter Python KSQL TensorFlow all together in a single notebook? There is an impedance mismatch between model development using Python and its Machine Learning tool stack and a scalable, reliable data platform. The former is what you need for quick and easy prototyping to build analytic models. The latter is what you need ...

You most probably know what I think about the architect role on a software project—it’s that of a dictator who makes all technical decisions and who bears the entire responsibility for the final result. I wrote about it and even gave a task Who is a Software Architect? at BuildStuff in 2016. However, the obvious question you may ask is: ...

The World is all about Data. Know more about DBMS and RDBMS…and what’s next. Data and Information Management is not new.

Besides developing their business propositions, companies had to develop, maintain and operate the platform on top of which their businesses (i.e. applications) run. Until Cloud options and “X ...

Previously we used the state in order to add some functionality to an application based on the user state. Our next behavioural design pattern is Strategy. The strategy pattern enables us to select an algorithm at runtime. Based on the instructions our program will pick the most suitable algorithm instead of implementing an algorithm directly. This makes our codebase more ...

Last week I was pointed by someone to Active Patterns in F#. And it has been quite an interesting discovery. Active Patterns are used on F# to partition data. Those partitions then can be used with pattern matching. Microsoft’s webpage compares them to discriminated unions. How they can be used? Well, you could look at the above link, or just ...
