MLOps: DevOps for Machine Learning

Tuesday, October 15, 2024 - 1:00pm to 4:30pm

Much attention is given to machine learning model training and testing in the industry. While these activities are essential for producing a production-ready machine learning model, organizations face some critical business challenges that must be addressed when building and testing machine learning models. Things like the reproducibility of results, accuracy of predictions, reusability of components, and trackability of experimentation are all vital to the success of any application.  The term MLOps has emerged as a method for applying DevOps practices and automation to the machine...

Everything Old Is New Again: Using What We Already Know for a Safer Future

Wednesday, October 16, 2024 - 8:30am to 9:45am

Our world is filled with complexities and unknowns, and when these collide with emerging technologies, the resulting risk seems insurmountable. We accept this increased risk as a cost of using the new technology, assuming that previous lessons learned don’t apply and that a blank slate is required to gain the most benefit. However, this never turns out to be true. Time and time again, we realize that much of what we already know is still relevant to these emerging technologies, regardless of how advanced or paradigm-shifting they are. This is good news for reducing the risk in innovation...

Scale Test Environments Using Cloud Infrastructure for Continuous Testing

Preview
Wednesday, October 16, 2024 - 11:45am to 12:45pm

The challenges of managing test environments in the fast-paced world of software development are numerous, ranging from complexity and resource limitations. Traditional on-premises solutions often offer limited scalability and cause bottlenecks that hinder continuous testing. This presentation tackles these challenges head-on by proposing a shift to cloud-based test environments underpinned by Infrastructure as Code. By embracing the cloud, organizations can dynamically create and tear down test environments as needed, freeing up valuable resources. Integration with CI/CD pipelines...

Designing Resilient Event-Driven Data Mesh Architecture

Wednesday, October 16, 2024 - 11:45am to 12:45pm

Most enterprises deal with large scale data. There are common challenges involved in managing data. One such challenge faced by distributed applications is effective processing, identifying transactional boundaries, and exchange of data across disparate systems, where governance, modeling, ownership, and consumption considerations are tenets. An event-driven data mesh provides capabilities to power both operational & analytical use cases, in both real time & batch. It provides the framework necessary for creating, communicating, and using data. In request-response architecture,...

AI & The Impact on How We Work

Wednesday, October 16, 2024 - 1:45pm to 2:45pm

Our industry has been transformed by new technologies, radically changing how we work. Thirty years ago, deployment cycles took 3-5 years; today, they happen in seconds. This rapid pace is largely due to our focus on investing in tools that boost developer productivity. We're still driven to create tools that simplify developers' work and make it easier for others to join the field. Many companies are heavily invested in enhancing productivity. However, the abundance of productivity tools doesn't automatically lead to increased productivity. Companies need to examine and adapt their...

Continuous Integration of AWS Serverless Applications

Wednesday, October 16, 2024 - 3:00pm to 4:00pm

The primary draw for implementation of AWS serverless applications is the supposed simplicity. Anyone that has attempted to implement testing within a CI pipeline on a serverless application, however, knows that it is anything but simple. Serverless technologies allow for the faster construction of more complex applications with more complex integrations while also providing new technologies and execution environments, all of which pose a challenge to those used to testing in a more traditional way. This presentation looks at an API-based serverless application as an example and introduces...
