Avoid Cross-Shard Data Movement in Distributed Databases

Aggregated on: 2025-03-26 18:13:14

Modern applications rely on distributed databases to handle massive amounts of data and scale seamlessly across multiple nodes. While sharding helps distribute the load, it also introduces a major challenge — cross-shard joins and data movement, which can significantly impact performance. When a query requires joining tables stored on different shards, the database must move data across nodes, leading to:

A Beginner's Guide to Spark UI: Concepts and How to Use It

Aggregated on: 2025-03-26 15:28:14

If you have been working with petabytes of data, are a data engineer, or are looking to get into data engineering, I am sure you have heard about Apache Spark,  a distributed data processing system. Apache Spark is a Unified computing engine, clubbed with a set of libraries for parallel data processing on compute clusters. It is not primarily designed as a storage system. Apache Spark can run locally in your system or on the cloud — using AWS EMR, AWS Glue, Google Cloud Dataproc, Databricks, etc. However you may use it, one thing before you start is to understand the basics — Spark UI, RDDs, DataFrames, Transformations/Actions, Job, Stages, Tasks.

Best Ways to Write Clean and Quality Python Code

Aggregated on: 2025-03-26 14:13:14

When considering whether to use classes in Python code, it's important to weigh the benefits and contexts where they are most appropriate. Classes are a key feature of object-oriented programming (OOP) and can provide clear advantages in terms of organization, reusability, and encapsulation. However, not every problem requires OOP. When to Use Classes Encapsulation and Abstraction Encapsulation. Classes allow you to bundle data (attributes) and methods (functions) that operate on the data into a single unit. This helps in keeping related data and behaviors together. Abstraction. Classes can hide the complex implementation details and expose only the necessary parts through public methods. Reusability Reusable components. Classes can be represented multiple times, allowing you to create reusable components that can be used in different parts of your application. Inheritance and Polymorphism Inheritance. Classes allow you to create new classes based on existing ones, reusing the code and reducing redundancy. Polymorphism. Classes enable you to define methods in such a way that they can be used interchangeably, improving flexibility and integration. Stateful Function Using Classes Using a class is a more explicit way to manage state. Use classes when the stateful function requires multiple methods.

Building AI-Driven Intelligent Applications: A Hands-On Development Guide for Integrating GenAI Into Your Applications

Aggregated on: 2025-03-26 11:13:14

Editor's Note: The following is an article written for and published in DZone's 2025 Trend Report, Generative AI: The Democratization of Intelligent Systems. In today's world of software development, we are seeing a rapid shift in how we design and build applications, mainly driven by the adoption of generative AI (GenAI) across industries. These intelligent applications can understand and respond to users' questions in a more dynamic way, which help enhance customer experiences, automate workflows, and drive innovation. Generative AI — mainly powered by large language models (LLMs) like OpenAI GPT, Meta Llama, and Anthropic Claude — has changed the game by making it easy to understand natural language text and respond with new content such as text, images, audio, and even code.

GenAI: From Prompt to Production

The Idea A project time-tracking system should allow entry of: Clients have one or more projects consisting of one or more tasks. Tasks have timesheet entries, completed by persons entering hours working for a client.  Invoices are created by adding invoice items linked to billable timesheet lines.   Once the invoice is marked as ready, send the information to Kafka for invoice processing. The Prompt GenAI Logic is a web page, like many chatbots, that allows the user to enter a prompt. The more details provided, the better the result (although you can iterate to add or change the outcome using the “Iterate” button).

A Systematic Approach for Java Software Upgrades

Aggregated on: 2025-03-25 21:43:14

The amount of business logic embedded in the form of code in software systems is so huge and valuable that you don’t always need to think in terms of replacing them with entirely new systems. Rather, software systems should facilitate evolution both in terms of functionality and in terms of technological upgrades.  This is truer in transactional systems, especially in domains including, but not limited to, finance, travel, transportation, logistics (TTL), and e-commerce. While much literature has been written about how to manage functional changes in software applications, technology upgrades are non-trivial, and many times, developers are left out to try and test their own intuition.

Recursive Feature Elimination in Practice

Aggregated on: 2025-03-25 19:13:14

The effectiveness of machine learning models often hinges on a deceptively simple question: Which features actually matter? The challenge becomes particularly evident as datasets grow larger and more complex. Modern data collection gives us access to hundreds or even thousands of features, but quantity doesn't always translate to quality. Processing all these features wastes computational resources and disrupts your model's performance. Feature selection addresses this challenge by identifying the subset of features that contribute most meaningfully to your model's predictions. While several approaches exist for tackling this problem, Recursive Feature Elimination (RFE) stands out for its systematic and interpretable approach. By iteratively removing less important features, RFE helps you build models that are both more efficient and more accurate.

Among the numerous AI products launched at the AWS re:Invent 2024 conference, Amazon S3 Tables might have seemed inconspicuous. However, for database professionals, the emergence of S3 Tables signifies that the era of modular data analytics has arrived. S3 Tables are a special type of S3 Bucket with built-in support for Apache Iceberg. They stand alongside the previously introduced General Purpose Bucket and Directory Bucket, collectively referred to as Table Bucket. This means you can now create a table bucket as easily as you would create a standard S3 Bucket.

Make ML Models Work: A Real-World Take on Size and Imbalance

Aggregated on: 2025-03-25 16:13:14

The Initial Hurdle In NLP classification tasks, especially those involving text descriptions, it's common to encounter two significant hurdles: large model sizes and imbalanced datasets. A large model can be difficult to deploy and manage, while class imbalance can lead to poor predictive performance, particularly for minority classes. Imagine you are building a system to automatically categorize product descriptions into various product categories. The project began with a dataset of close to 40,000 records, where each record contained a short product title and a longer product description, along with its corresponding category. The initial Random Forest model, while achieving a decent accuracy of around 70%, ballooned to a whopping 11 GB size.

The Role of Sanity Testing in Performance Engineering

Aggregated on: 2025-03-24 22:43:13

As a CTO, my role extends beyond overseeing technical solutions — I work closely with engineering teams to ensure performance testing strategies align with business goals. One of the recurring challenges I’ve observed is how sanity testing, despite being a simple step, often determines the success or failure of performance testing efforts.  Many teams focus on running large-scale performance tests, ensuring their applications can handle peak loads, but neglect the essential first step — validating the test scripts and basic system functionality before executing a full-scale load test. Over the years, I’ve seen how overlooking this step can lead to wasted time, misleading results, and frustration.

Recommender Systems Best Practices: Collaborative Filtering

Aggregated on: 2025-03-24 13:13:13

Recommender systems serve as the backbone of e-commerce, streaming platforms, and online marketplaces, enabling personalized user experiences by predicting preferences and suggesting items based on historical interactions. They are built using explicit and/or implicit feedback from users.  Explicit feedback includes direct user inputs, such as ratings and reviews, which provide clear indications of preference but are often sparse. Implicit feedback, such as clicks, views, purchase history, and dwell time, is more abundant but requires specialized algorithms to interpret user intent accurately.
