Main presentations
Philippe Gauthier: Découverte des genres musicaux avec PySpark
Cette présentation sous forme d'un Jupyter Notebook explorera interactivement l'espace des genres musicaux à l'aide de PySpark. On pourra apprécier la simplicité d'utilisation de Spark à l'intérieur de Jupyter tout en critiquant mes goûts musicaux.
L'avantage qu'on retire de l'utilisation de PySpark est de pouvoir exécuter la même application Python sur un environnement de développement ou en parallèle sur un grand nombre de machines sans avoir besoin de réécrire la majeure partie du code.
Olivier Paugam: Ochopod, a Pythonic non-intrusive cross-container orchestrator
"The world of Cloud engineering has been rapidly transformed last year with the advent of container technologies. The impact rippled through pretty much any facet of how we deal with complex distributed back-ends while scalability reached new unforeseen peaks. Coming up with a watertight architecture and new software tools is paramount to harnessing what is a huge potential for Autodesk. We will focus on our open-source orchestration technology that puts a logical overlay on top of a Apache Mesos or Kubernetes stack. This is used in production to deploy, operate and introspect hundreds of containers running our Core Services."
Christian Journey: Developing at Scale
Having a team of 250 engineers is great, but their happiness and productivity is heavily influenced by the tools made available to them.
This talk will be a trip down memory lane about the tools we use at Shopify and how they have evolved from back when we were 50 developers to today.
I'll talk about our use of GitHub, Slack, Datadog, Splunk, Buildkite, and many other tools that we rely on and that make us more productive.
