Recently I read somewhere this statement – As we end 2017 and look ahead to 2018, topics that are top of mind for data professionals are the growing range of data management mandates, including the EU’s new General Data Protection Regulation that is directed at personal data and privacy, the growing role of artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning in enterprise applications, the need for better security in light of the onslaught of hacking cases, and the ability to leverage the expanding Internet of Things. Here are the key areas as we look ahead: Business owners demand outcomes – not just a data lake to store all kinds of data in its native format and API’s. Data Science must produce results – Play and Explore is not enough. Learn to ask the right questions. Visualization of analytics from search. Everyone wants Real Time – Days and weeks too slow, need ... (more)

A Practical Guide to Java Remote Debugging | @CloudExpo #JVM #Java #Cloud

A Practical Guide to Java Remote Debugging By Eugen Paraschiv Introduction to Debugging Troubleshooting a problem on a remote server, especially in production, is not an easy task. Sometimes it involves debugging the application code directly on the server. But the production servers are usually run in a strict environment, where not all convenient developer tools are available. In this article, you'll discover how to configure a running web server and debug your application using standard facilities provided by the Java platform. Caveats First off, if you try to connect to a remote running Java server which you did not specifically configure for debugging, you'd most likely fail. This means that the configuration steps should be taken in advance. On the other hand, you wouldn't want to always keep the production server running with debugging configuration enabled, a...

Java Virtual Machine | @CloudExpo @Stackify #DX #JVM #Java #Virtualization

A Deep Dive into the Core Metrics of the Java Virtual Machine By Eugen Paraschiv Overview of JVM Metrics In this article, we'll cover how you can monitor an application that runs on the Java Virtual Machine by going over some of the critical metrics you need to track. And, as a monitoring tool, we'll use Stackify Retrace, a full APM solution. The application we'll monitor to exemplify these metrics is a real-world Java web application built using the Spring framework. Users can register, login, connect their Reddit account and schedule their posts to Reddit. How JVM Memory Works There are two important types of JVM memory to watch: heap and non-heap memory, each of these with its own purpose. The heap memory is where the JVM stores runtime data represented by allocated instances. This is where memory for new objects comes from, and is released when the Garbage Colle... (more)

Java 9 Language Features | @CloudExpo #Java #APM #Monitoring

Java 9 Language Features By Philipp Lengauer Java 9 ships with some minor—yet awesome—new language features that make developing easier and cleaner. In this post, we’ll take a look at three of these new features. Private interface methods You probably remember interface methods, which were introduced in Java 8. These are required so that Java itself, as well as framework vendors, can add new methods to interfaces without breaking pre-existing implementations. As these methods can become rather complex, Java now enables you to declare interface methods as private. This allows for extracting common code from interface methods while hiding the code from external use. public interface DeepThought { abstract int foo(); abstract int bar(); default int fooDecorated() { return decorate(foo()); } default int barDecorated() { return decorate(bar()); } private int decorate(int valu...

Enterprises are adopting Kubernetes to accelerate the development and the delivery of cloud-native applications. However, sharing a Kubernetes cluster between members of the same team can be challenging. And, sharing clusters across multiple teams is even harder. Kubernetes offers several constructs to help implement segmentation and isolation. However, these primitives can be complex to understand and apply. As a result, it’s becoming common for enterprises to end up with several clusters. Thi...
