Apache Spark 1.6-2.2: Testing in Production

Dmitry Zhukov
Product engineer @ TransferWise

In our last DevClub talk we shared the challenges of detecting fraud in TransferWise. Since then we went a long way of revamping our models to adopt latest Machine Learning techniques. We will share how we use Apache Spark models in production, which challenges we faced and how we solved them. It would be interesting for people who want run machine learning models in real-time production flows.

Horrors of mobile graphics

Filipp Keks
Software engineer @ Wolf3D

According to mobile manufacturers modern devices recently reached the level of gaming consoles in terms of hardware complexity. Can we reach the level of real-time graphics on mobile devices similar to consoles too? You will find out about some unexpected traits of mobile graphics development with modern APIs like OpenGL ES and DirectX, about common problems and their solutions. You will feel the struggle of developers fighting for every millisecond and get a glimpse of the bright future with new generation graphics like Vulkan and Metal.

What can you do with data?

Erkki Alamäe
Senior System analyst @ Nortal

You will get an overview of what methods are actually used by data scientists to extract value out of data: preprocessing, clustering, visualization, anomaly detection, prediction etc. Examples will be given about when to use which method and what are their pitfalls. By the end, you should have a gut feeling of a) what is doable with data today, and b) what is not …yet.

Devclub #052 mini-devclub @ MOVE Guides

Dear DevClubbers,

We are happy to invite you an open doors event in the MOVE Guides offices in Tallinn on Wednesday, September 13th at 19:00. This is a Mini-DevClub, as capacity is strictly limited to 40 people and registration is mandatory. Please also free the ticket, if you are not able to come.

MOVE Guides acquired an Estonian startup Teleport back in March, and we’ve been busy bringing our people, products and data closer together since. We thought it would be now a good time to get the local tech community together to share a bit about what’s up: have a few beers, network and talk shop with a few quick technical talks on our latest learnings from building software some of the largest enterprises in the world use to manage their mobile workforce, and their employees use while moving.

We have beers, snacks and three inspiring topics on the menu:

Technical challenges of building SaaS software for Fortune 500 customers by Steve Giles, VP Engineering (London)

What’s it like selling a transformational, disruptive technology to Fortune 500 companies? What are the differences to consumer products or more traditional tech products? How does tech influence the sales cycle? Once the contract is signed, what can you expect next? These might sound like distant business topics, but they have a very tangible impact on you as a software developer: what does your architecture have to support, what you can and can not do when building, what are the security expectations, even what tools you can use. We share some experience and lessons on the way from startup to accepted SaaS vendor to the largest enterprises.

Componentized Frontend Architecture by Hendrik Kaju, Front-end engineer (Tallinn)

Discussions around FE development are usually focused on frameworks and less on principles, but the latter is often more important to successfully building large web apps. Component-based architecture is a pattern for building applications that are scalable and maintainable even as they grow bigger and more complex. This quick talk gives an overview of how we have applied this approach at MOVE Guides/Teleport and what we’ve learned from it.

Security in the Age of Containers by Joonathan Mägi, Tech Lead (Tallinn)

Container technologies like Docker and Rkt have radically changed the way that applications are being developed and deployed making shipping new features or code faster than ever before. While containers are great for DevOps, they also present risks that have been traditionally tackled by Ops and Security teams. What are the things to watch out for and are there any quick wins to implement in your environment.

Followed by Q&A, discussion, office tour and networking until about 10pm.

Look forward to seeing you at 19:00 on 13.09.2017 at MOVE Guides / Teleport office, Lõõtsa 8 in Ülemiste City, 9th floor.

Devclub #051 August 30 @ Meriton Hotel

Agenda

Using design sprint method in a product company

Kirill Slavetski
Product designed and researcher @ Jobbatical

The design sprint is a five-day process developed at GV (previously Google Ventures). The process helps find answers to critical business questions through design, prototyping, and testing ideas with customers. The approach allows to shortcut the endless debate cycle and compress months of time into a single week. In his talk, Kirill will give an overview of the sprint structure, and will share some experience of using this approach in Jobbatical product design team.

Infrastructure as code with AWS CloudFormation

Andres Ivanov
Head of Infrastructure @ Inbank

Average AWS account for a small startup has over 100 resources, creating and designing them manually removes any possibilities for fast scaling and recovery.

Code, continuous delivery and scripts are not the only things to version control, Infrastructure can be written down and versioned same way.

Andres will demonstrate how to automate the infrastructure at AWS and explain benefits of it.

He also will guide through possible problems discovered from Infrastructure automating and explain solutions for them.
