Google published a product map, showcasing similar offerings between Google Cloud, AWS and Azure. You can easily filter the list by product name or other common keywords. This table can make it easier for you to quickly find similar products from each provider.
The Tinder API Gateway (TAG) is one of the critical frameworks at Tinder that solves the need for exposing public APIs and enforcing strict authorization and security rules.
Tinder needed:
How do you select the right query pins from the user’s profile?
We added a new component to the Query Selection layer called Query Reward. Query Reward consists of a workflow that computes the engagement rate of each query, which we store and retrieve for use in future query selection. Therefore, we can build a feedback loop to reward the queries with downstream engagement.
Slack uses Terraform for managing Infrastructure, which runs on AWS, DigitalOcean, NS1 and GCP. They chose Terraform as opposed to using an AWS-native service such as CloudFormation to use a single tool across all of our infrastructure service providers. This keeps the infrastructure-as-code syntax and deployment mechanism universal.
All of our Terraform pipelines run on a set of dedicated Jenkins workers. These workers have IAM roles attached to them with sufficient access to our child accounts so that they can build the necessary resources. However, engineers at Slack also needed a place to test their Terraform changes or prototype new modules. This place has to have an identical environment to the Jenkins workers without the same level of access to enable the modification or creation of resources. Therefore we created a type of box called “Ops” boxes at Slack, where engineers can launch their own “Ops” box using a web interface.
This article lies on the crossroads of machine learning, data science, operations, backend and frontend. It’s about why Canva needs to build a scalable search architecture and where the problems were with previous architecture.
Redpanda is a Kafka-compatible streaming platform that aims to unify historical and real-time data processing. Additionally, as Adrian demonstrates in his article, Redpanda can be a serious competitor to Kafka (even more than Pulsar).
If you have ever maintained a large-scale Kafka cluster then you know how painful this can be. Redpanda on the other hand may have some advantages, like:
‘Git switch and Git restore’ is a command that Git has added in Git 2.23. It works similarly to the checkout command. But not exactly the same.
Two new commands:
You can now write commands specifically for situations that are much more appropriate.
An example of how Instagram used causal inference and ML to control sending daily digest push notifications.
By applying model and targeting the users + notifications with high incremental impact, we reduced the sending volume substantially compared to using the CTR model and also saw no decline in user engagement.
This article starts with the story of the battle between Skype and WhatsApp on the communication app market. One of them uses scrum, the other doesn't.
The moral of the story is that the chosen framework may not be crucial to the success of projects. There are other factors.
However, it is no coincidence that in Big tech there is a lack of scrum at the carer.
In many companies, teams have autonomy in choosing the best work methodology.
Also, the Project Manager role is now different.
This article analyzes this in the example of 100 companies.
One of our engineering principles at Skyscanner is that we peer-review every change and we apply this principle to everything from one-line code changes to system design.
Often the most difficult part of building systems at scale is aligning your stakeholders, and setting the scene up front in a design document is a great way to bring people along in your process.
Google has announced the general availability of search indexes and search functions in BigQuery. This combination enables you to efficiently perform rich text analysis on data that may have been previously hard to explore due to the siloing of text information
An interview with Sarah Maston,the founder of Microsoft's Project 15 – lowering costs, complexity and time-to-launch for conservation and ecosystem sustainability projects with the latest IoT technologies on an open source software platform.
Christopher Nguyen, CEO and co-founder of Aitomatic, a startup that uses a knowledge-first approach to build and deploy machine learning solutions, shares:
You will take a glance at our 3-step framework for data-driven transformation. You will learn how to:
