A Little Bit More on Docker Memory Management
Docker is a containerization platform that allows developers to package and deploy applications in a lightweight, portable environment. Memory management and how to use it isn’t a well discussed topic from my searching around for the work I’m doing on Synthetica Data Engine. It’s one of the key aspects of managing Docker containers and it…

Preventing Java Maxing Out CPU in Docker Containers
With much of the deployment world moving to Docker and Kubernetes in some wave, shape or form; I’ve been spending a lot more time digging into the minute things that will generally make things better. Working on some of the Synthetica Data Engine jobs which rely on heavily on Java execution, I’ve been reminded again…

The Reality Check for NI Startups : #northernireland #code #startups #nocode #fdi #outsourcing
Disclaimer: Everything here is an opinion, the facts (as usual in NI) are very hard to pin down. Comment, tell me I’m wrong, it’s all fine if it makes the NI tech/startup scene a better place. This is every startup in Northern Ireland looking for a coder to build their product right now. The odds…

Time For A Change? #algorithms #ml #ai #business #data
My first WordPress blog post was back in October 2008, my first blog post goes back way before then in 2000. Twenty-one years of knowledge, insight and, let’s be honest, nonsense. While most folk know me for the big data thing, whether that’s Hadoop, Spark, Kafka or Pulsar. What I want to do now is…

Kafka Is A Team Sport Redux – #kafka #apachekafka #streamingdata #data #confluentkafka

The Three Functions I see the current ecosystem as three distinct parts. Development, DevOps Engineering and Data Engineering. They all have different…

Kafka Is A Team Sport – #kafka #apachekafka #streamingdata #data #confluentkafka
One of the nice things about being an early adopter is watching things grow. Another is observing how that adoption happens from organisation to organisation. The questions I get tend to be varied and in the oddest of locations, doing an impromptu Q&A at London City Airport is still a highlight of data related daftness.…

Tesco Clubcard: #customerloyalty is dead! It’s all about membership! #clubcard #tesco #loyalty #data #datamining #algorithms
(First things first, four months since my last post…. apologies, just a lot of things going on.) The “rona” has done a lot of things to retail, it’s also done an awful lot of things to the economy.
