Tales from the Frontline of Kafka – #kafka #confluent #podcast
Listen now >>>>> https://developer.confluent.io/podcast/tales-from-the-frontline-of-apache-kafka-devops-ft-jason-bell The podcast has been up a while now but I’ve been busy. It was definitely fun to do. There’s a lot of opinion especially about how teams, developers and others embrace Kafka. We also confirmed that Dave Klein is not omnipresent, I was convinced that he was.

Kafka Is A Team Sport Redux – #kafka #apachekafka #streamingdata #data #confluentkafka
The feedback from Saturday’s blog post Kafka Is A Team Sport was very positive. I still felt I hadn’t quite got my point across though, well not clearly enough. Then it hit me. 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.…

Extending Topic Retention in Kafka – #kafka #apachekafka #confluent
There’s a part in my internal body clock that worries about Kafka messages, especially production Kafka messages, especially LOSING Kafka messages…. Even when I know that the retention policies work perfectly well and do as they are told I still wake up and worry. If you maintain a Kafka cluster then you’ll understand. When it…

Machine Learning Hands On 2nd edition now available. #machinelearning #ai #java #kafka #clojure #weka #dl4j #spark #r
Towards the end of February the author copies of the second edition of my book, Machine Learning: Hands-on for developers and technical professionals landed on my desk. I’m very happy with the way it’s turned out. I’ve spend the last few months resting, asides from the day job at Digitalis.io – the plan was to…

Machine Learning book update…. #ai #machinelearning #java #clojure #kafka #dl4j #weka #spark
The first draft of the second edition is complete and a lot of the editing work is done. There are a couple of big changes…. SpringXD has now been replaced with Kafka and how to perform self training machine learning models (with Neural Networks, Linear Regression and Decision Trees). The chapter on Spark got a…

Adding file logging to Kafka Connect – #Kafka #Connect #Streaming #Data #Devops
More of a memory aid for me as I’ll forget….. Kafka Connect’s default logging goes to the console, I prefer tailing and grepping files instead. I’m using Confluent Kafka 5.1.2 but the file locations will be pretty much similar if you are using the Apache version. Open up the connect-log4.properties file in $KAFKA_HOME/etc/kafka directory. Add…

“Where have you been hiding?…..” #nitech #ni #machinelearning #ai #customerloyalty #clojure #java
For those who’ve been asking why I’m not so active in NI….. Errrm, I haven’t. So far 2019 has thrown some joyous curve balls. Some good, some challenging but the pointers to learn from were in plain sight. Not Much Conference Talking…. Last year, 2018, was full on tech talks and as much as I…

DeskHoppa Engineering — Twitter, Kafka and being Data Driven.
This post was originally published on the DeskHoppa Engineering Blog on Medium. We built DeskHoppa on data driven decisions. The technology though is used to augment our decision making, not wholly make it for us. How we choose the hosts we contact is based on data, algorithms and probability. The search and match processes to…

The Annual Pilgrimage to #ClojureX 2018, it’s all about the AI.
I’m not sure how but I got asked back….. ClojureX 2018 runs on 3rd and 4th December at Codenode, hosted by Skillsmatter. Nothing about Onyx this year, promise. All the details here. The full programme here. And I promise I’m going to wear something different this time.
