Apache Ignite community update

[Tom Diederich]

Hello, Igniters! It’s been a busy September for us here in the Apache Ignite 
community. We’ve been preparing for the In-Memory Computing Summit North 
America 2018 happening Oct. 2-3 in San Francisco. I’ll have details on some 
Ignite sessions below.

Meantime, our conference preparations haven’t slowed us down! Our intrepid 
Apache Ignite technology evangelist Akmal Chaudhri has been on the road as part 
of a European Big Data Meetup roadshow – his stops to date: Copenhagen, 
Hamburg, Berlin, Frankfurt, Vienna, Munich,  Zurich, Paris, Amsterdam and 
London. And this week, he'll be speaking in Oslo.

Let’s take a look at some upcoming events for this week (and details on in 
In-Memory Computing Summit North America afterwards. If you are in the San 
Francisco Bay Area and would like to attend the conference, I have 3 free 
passes available if you use promo code “TomVIP” during checkout).

processing platform. It is designed for transactional, analytical, and 
streaming workloads, delivering in-memory performance at scale.

Conferences
db tech showcase Tokyo 2018
Friday, September 21, 2018
Roman Shtykh, a Big Data Engineer at Yahoo! JAPAN, will be a featured speaker 
at the db tech showcase Tokyo 2018 conference, Sept. 19-21 in Tokyo. His talk 
is titled, "Apache Ignite: From In-Memory Data Grid to Memory-Centric 
Distributed Database," and is scheduled for Sept. 21 (Session D-33 #dbts2017).

Webinars
Apache Ignite: powering up banks and financial institutions with distributed 
systems
Tuesday, September 25, 2018
In this presentation, Akmal will teach attendees about Apache Ignite, and about 
the key capabilities and features important for financial applications, 
including ACID compliance, SQL compatibility, persistence, replication, 
security, fault tolerance, fraud detection and more.

IMC Summit (Oct. 2-3 in Burlingame) 
And as promised, here’s the lineup of Apache Ignite sessions at next week’s in 
In-Memory Computing Summit. The conference will include six sessions featuring 
Apache Ignite.

Here’s a listing of the Ignite-focused sessions:
Scalable Machine and Deep Learning with Apache Ignite with Denis Magda, vice 
president of the Apache Ignite PMC.

Exploring the Full Potential of Ignite Using Classless Design with David 
Follen, ING Belgium

How to implement data security in distributed systems - Transparent data 
encryption in Apache Ignite with Nikolay Izhikov, SberTech

Ingesting Streaming Data for Analysis in Apache Ignite with Pat Patterson, 
StreamSets

Apache Ignite — Using a Memory Grid for Distributed Computation Frameworks 
(Spark and Containerized Apps) with Chris Herrera, Hashmap, Inc.

Ultimate Guide to Successful Cross-Platform Deployments with Apache Ignite with 
Pavel Petroshenko, Electric Imp

Thanks everyone, and that’s all for this update!

Igniters, 

 

There are a couple of events coming up on May 30 – one is a webinar and another 
is a meetup in San Francisco. 

 

Denis Magda will host a free one-hour webinar on May 30. It's Part 1 of a 
2-part series titled: “Adding Speed and Scale to Existing Applications with No 
Rip and Replace Using Apache® Ignite™" Register here and add this one to your 
calendar. It starts at 11 a.m. PDT (that's 2 p.m. EDT).

 

Denis will explain (with examples):
How to start with Apache Ignite as an In-Memory Data Grid (IMDG) deployed on 
top of RDBMS or NoSQL database
How to keep data in sync across RAM (Apache Ignite) and disk (RDBMS/NoSQL 
database)
How to leverage from Apache Ignite distributed SQL and ACID transaction for 
IMDG scenarios
How to move further and start to build HTAP applications, real-time analytics, 
and machine learning, on the same IMDG
 

And if you’re in San Francisco, catch a panel discussion with Nikita Ivanov on 
topics related to in-memory computing – including of course Apache Ignite. The 
event is a joint meetup of the Bay Area In-Memory Computing Meetup and San 
Francisco Cloud Mafia. It will be held at 600 California Street (San Francisco) 
on the 11th floor. 

 

In related news, last week’s Bay Area In-Memory Computing Meetup in Menlo Park 
was the most well-attended event in the meetup’s one-year history. Some 60 
people stopped by. Here’s a video of Valentin Kulichenko’s talk titled, 
“Improving Apache Spark In-Memory Computing with Apache Ignite.”

Apache Ignite community update for the week of March 19

[Tom Diederich]

Hello Igniters! 

Akmal Chaudhri is in Atlanta this week for a mini-Meetup tour evangelizing 
Apache Ignite. He just wrapped the OpenIoT Summit North America in Portland 
last week, where his popular session demonstrated data streaming to an Apache 
Ignite cluster from embedded devices and real-time data processing with Apache 
Spark.

Also last week, and in the photo, Fotios Filacouris spoke at the NYC In-Memory 
Computing Meetup, where he walked attendees through a few reference 
architectures on various use cases that have benefited from using Apache 
Ignite. The room was filled to capacity in an open Manhattan office donated by 
WeWork via a pilot program with Meetup.com, which the company purchased last 
November. WeWork is building a worldwide network of co-working offices and 
apartments.

Here’s a look at this week

Monday
Our technology evangelist will speak at the first of his scheduled three 
meetups this evening. That meetup is called, Big Bang Data Science & Analytics 
Solutions.

Its members are obsessed with data science and Akmal's talk won't disappoint. 
He'll unpack some of Apache Ignite's main components (the Compute Grid, Data 
Grid and the Machine Learning Grid) and then, through examples, explain how 
Apache Ignite can be used for data analysis.

Tuesday
March 20 is the first day of Spring and two of our experts will be speaking at 
events some 5,000 miles apart. 

In Georgia, Akmal will be speaking at the Atlanta Apache Spark User Group. This 
session will demonstrate how to easily share state in-memory across multiple 
Spark jobs, either within the same application or between different Spark 
applications using an implementation of the Spark RDD abstraction provided in 
Apache Ignite

During the talk, Akmal will demonstrate how IgniteRDD — an implementation of 
native Spark RDD and DataFrame APIs — shares the state of the RDD across other 
Spark jobs, applications and workers. Examples will show how IgniteRDD allows 
execution of SQL queries many times faster than native Spark RDDs or Data 
Frames due to its advanced in-memory indexing capabilities.

Meanwhile, at the Moscow Apache Ignite Meetup, engineer Artem Schitow will 
unveil what’s new in Apache Ignite 2.4. Next up, architect Alexey Goncharuk 
will demonstrate the art of sizing Apache Ignite clusters (delivered at the 
architect level). My colleague in Moscow Kseniya Romanova organized and will 
also serve as MC at both events. Great job, Kseniya!

 Wednesday
Akmal concludes his visit to Atlanta with a talk at the DevOpsATL Meetup about 
distributed databases and Kubernetes. In his presentation, Akmal will show 
attendees how Kubernetes can orchestrate a distributed database like Apache 
Ignite, in particular:

 •    Cluster Assembling - database nodes auto-discovery in Kubernetes.

 •    Database Resilience - automated horizontal scalability.

 •    Database Availability - what's the role of Kubernetes and the 
database.

 •    Utilizing both RAM and disk - set up Apache Ignite in a way to 
get in-memory performance with the durability of disk.


That’s all for this update.

Tom
