In this episode, Ben Lorica chats with Jay Kreps, a highly regarded data engineer and former technical lead for Online Data Infrastructure at LinkedIn, and most recently CEO/co-founder of Confluent, about Apache Kafka, data integration, event data, and the Internet of Things.

Building Apache Kafka From Scratch

Jai Ranganathan, senior director of product management at Cloudera, on trends in the Hadoop ecosystem, cloud computing, the recent surge in interest in all things real time, and hardware trends

Jai Ranganathan On Architecting Big Data Applications In The Cloud

In this episode of the O’Reilly Data Show, I spoke with Fang Yu, co-founder and CTO of DataVisor. We discussed her days as a researcher at Microsoft, the application of data science and distributed computing to security, and hiring and training data scientists and engineers for the security domain.

Using Apache Spark to Predict Attack Vectors Among Billions of Users and Trillions of Events

In this episode of the O’Reilly Data Show, I spoke with M.C. Srivas, co-founder of MapR and currently chief architect for data at Uber. We discussed his long career in data management and his experience building a variety of distributed systems. In the course of his career, Srivas has architected key components that now comprise many data platforms (distributed file system, database, query engine, messaging system, etc.).

Stream Processing and Messaging Systems for the IoT Age

In this episode of the O’Reilly Data Show, I spoke with John Akred, cofounder and CTO of Silicon Valley Data Science. Akred and his colleagues teach two of the more popular Strata + Hadoop World tutorials—“Developing a Modern Enterprise Data Strategy” and “Architecting a Data Platform.” We talked about his career in data science and consulting, and his penchant for bringing emerging technologies and tools into large enterprises.

Using Agile Development Techniques for Data Science Projects

In this episode of the O’Reilly Data Show I sat down with O’Reilly author Dean Wampler, big data architect at Lightbend. We talked about new architectures for stream processing, Scala, and cloud computing.

Data Architectures for Streaming Applications

In this episode of the O’Reilly Data Show, O’Reilly’s online managing editor Jenn Webb speaks with Natalino Busa on the topic of predictive analytics, the challenges of feature engineering, and a new class of techniques that is enabling features to emerge from patterns within the data. They also discuss the relationship between predictive techniques and high-quality microservices, and how machine learning is being used to improve financial services.

Understanding Predictive Analytics

In this episode I spoke with Michael Franklin, co-director of UC Berkeley’s AMPLab and chair of the Department of Computer Science at the University of Chicago. AMPLab is well-known in the data community for having originated Apache Spark, Alluxio (formerly Tachyon) and many other open source tools. Today marks the start of a two-day symposium commemorating the end of AMPLab, and we took the opportunity to reflect on its impressive accomplishments.

Building the Next-Generation Big Data Analytics Stack

As data scientists add deep learning to their arsenals, they need tools that integrate with existing platforms and frameworks. This is particularly important for those who work in large enterprises. In this episode of the Data Show, I spoke with Adam Gibson, co-founder and CTO of Skymind, and co-creator of Deeplearning4J (DL4J). Gibson has spent the last few years developing the DL4J library and community, while simultaneously building deep learning solutions and products for large enterprises.

The Key to Building Deep Learning Solutions for Large Enterprises

In this episode of the Data Show, I spoke with Jason Dai, CTO of big data technologies at Intel, and co-chair of Strata + Hadoop World Beijing. Dai and his team are prolific and longstanding contributors to the Apache Spark project. Their early contributions to Spark tended to be on the systems side and included Netty-based shuffle, a fair-scheduler, and the “yarn-client” mode. Recently, they have been contributing tools for advanced analytics. In partnership with major cloud providers in China, they’ve written implementations of algorithmic building blocks and machine learning models that let Apache Spark users scale to extremely high-dimensional models and large data sets. They achieve scalability by taking advantage of things like data sparsity and Intel’s MKL software. Along the way, they’ve gained valuable experience and insight into how companies deploy machine learning models in real-world applications.

Deep Learning for Apache Spark

In this episode of the Data Show, I spoke with Aurélien Géron, a serial entrepreneur, data scientist, and author of a popular, new book entitled "Hands-on Machine Learning with Scikit-Learn and TensorFlow." Géron’s book is aimed at software engineers who want to learn machine learning and start deploying machine learning models in real-world products.

Becoming a Machine Learning Engineer

In this episode of the Data Show, I spoke with Karthik Ramasamy, adjunct faculty member at UC Berkeley, former engineering manager at Twitter, and co-founder of Streamlio. Ramasamy managed the team that built Heron, an open source, distributed stream processing engine, compatible with Apache Storm.  While Ramasamy has seen firsthand what it takes to build and deploy large-scale distributed systems (within Twitter, he worked closely with the team that built DistributedLog), he is first and foremost interested in designing and building end-to-end applications. As someone who organizes many conferences, I’m all too familiar with the vast array of popular big data frameworks available. But, I also know that engineers and architects are most interested in content and material that helps them cut through the options and decisions.
