Data Lakes and Analytics on Cloud

ABOUT THE WEBINAR

For years, companies have dumped data into their data lake and deferred organizing the data until a later period. To make this data useful for modern analytics, the data must be carefully structured and cataloged. And as more data is rapidly introduced, from log files and IoT sources due to volume, velocity, and variety, data must also be structured in the same way in the data lake. Delta Lake on Databricks provides a way to streamline these data pipelines so the data is instantly available for analysis.

  • Understand what was a raw data lake & how the ACID transaction has become important for modern data lake using the features of Delta Lake.
  • Understand delta lake time travel and schema enforcement.
  • Streaming and Batch unification using delta lake.
  • Get an overview of Spark’s metadata management in delta lake.
  • Understand what can go wrong with core traditional data lake and how Delta lake can prevent a data lake to become a data swamp.

Scalable Machine Learning on Big Data using Apache Spark

About the Webinar:

Predictive Intelligence from Machine Learning (ML) has the potential to change everything in our day to day experiences, from business to leisure – making a huge difference in the way we live, work and play. Most real-world machine learning work involves very enormous – simply huge data sets that go beyond just the CPU, memory, and storage limitations of a single computer. Spark has been the go-to solution for enterprises that have to process extremely large data sets in an efficient and cost-effective manner.

In this webinar with Anirban, we learn how Apache Spark has revolutionized the way enterprises build and deploy predictive algorithms and how it has drastically reduced the time taken to operationalize ML models. With data coming in from multiple sources, an increase in the rise of new tools and technologies to process this data, the biggest challenge for organizations is to churn out the best business insights in real-time. While data scientists continue to work on these challenges and build models, much of their time is spent on supporting the data infrastructure instead of building models to solve their data problems.

Key takeaways:

  • What is the speed and scalability that Spark brings for data scientists to solve and iterate through their data problems much faster than before?
  • How does Spark ML alleviate many of the problems that are typically faced while moving from dev to production environments?
  • How are data practitioners able to solve their ML problems at a much greater scale with Spark?
  • Recognize some of the supervised and unsupervised machine learning tasks with Spark ML.

ABOUT THE WEBINAR

Banking as a sector has seen many disruptions. it has played an integral part in evolutions from barter-style, paper currency, plastic money, electronic wire transfers, and mobile payments.

A new era has already emerged with API technologies that have redefined Banking while making Banks “near-invisible”. APIs underpin digital transformations in the Banking ecosystem by enabling new solutions and innovative business strategies. In an API ecosystem of today, an API strategy is a must for all Banks.

The webinar will focus on:

  • How are APIs allowing banks to deliver greater value to their customers?
  • What is the receptivity of Banks towards opening APIs?
  • How do Banks choose to build or collaborate?
  • How will Open Banking redefine banking in the future?
  • Talent imperatives for the redefined Banking system

Promising calmer waters

Anticipating tomorrow’s issues is a challenge. Maximising our capabilities and developing new ones to meet the needs of tomorrow is not. It is easier than ever before – ‘Stay Ahead with StackRoute Webinars’ presents Saurabh Gupta, Anirban Ghatak and Vijayananda on a live webcast: ‘Promising calmer waters: Common mistakes made with raw data lakes – Delta lake to the rescue!’ on Thursday, April 30, 3:00 to 4:30 PM(IST).

For years, enterprises have dumped data into their data lake and deferred organizing the data until later. To make this data useful for analytics, the data must be carefully structured and catalogued. And as more data is rapidly introduced, from log files and IoT sources, it must also be structured in the same way. Delta Lake on Data bricks provides a way to streamline these data pipelines so the data is instantly available for analysis.

Register now to listen to Saurabh Gupta present his views on how data lakes has become an integral part of enterprise digital transformation. Saurabh will also explain how delta lakes can overcome traditional data lake challenges.

Anirban will explain the power of Delta lake and how we can prevent a data lake to become a data swamp. Understand how delta lakes bring reliability to data lakes. Learn how delta lakes provide ACID transactions, unifies streaming and batch data processing. Get an overview about Spark’s metadata management in delta lake
 

Key takeaways:

  • What are the fundamental differences between a primary and a secondary data lake?

  • What the pre-conditions pertaining to a healthcare domain before the data enters into a delta lake?

  • Are there aspects in a delta lake that are unique to healthcare domain?

Site Reliability Engineering:

 Anticipating tomorrow’s issues is a challenge. Maximising our capabilities and developing new ones to meet the needs of tomorrow is not. It is easier than ever before – ‘Stay Ahead with StackRoute Webinars’ presents Nagendra Prasad and Ravindranath on a live webcast, ‘Site Reliability Engineering: Becoming resilient to turbulent IT workloads with SRE’.

The fundamental requirement of a SRE is to create highly reliable and scalable software systems. Google’s approach to operating its production systems is fundamental to SRE practices. An interesting trivia to hit SRE in one line – Linkedin profile description by Benjamin Treynor Sloss, VP Engg at Google – “If google ever stops working, it is my fault”.

Software engineers and developers have always designed systems to make it work. SRE is about designing systems not only to anticipate failure but also to embrace it.
 

Key takeaways:

  • The context of enterprise IT that has led to consider SRE as a strategic imperative.

  • The need to proactively build and maintain more reliable services as a culture.

  • How SRE principles and practices can build resiliency by leveraging automation?

Value Discovery through Analytics

Anticipating tomorrow’s issues is a challenge. Maximising our capabilities and developing new ones to meet the needs of tomorrow is not. It is easier than ever before. ‘Stay Ahead with StackRoute Webinars’ presents Nagendra Prasad, Anirban Ghatak and Sudeep Prasad on a live webcast on “Value Discovery through Analytics” Monday, April 20 | 8 pm - 9 pm IST.

The volume and variety of raw data generated and stored in enterprise databases is growing at a pace never known before. Data collection, storage and dissemination are built into daily operations of almost all enterprises. The domain of healthcare for example, has already generated a tsunami of quantitative and image data, driven by healthcare providers, hospitals, insurance, and regulatory and compliance establishments. And we continue to see datasets generated in the situation of the pandemic. All of us know and agree that competitive advantage lies with those who can unlock the knowledge hidden in the raw data and bring about new opportunities for themselves to sustain, gain and thrive in the market place. We do have a few points to ponder

Key takeaways:

  • Are we getting value out of the data for actionable insights for increased marketing effective ness, improved experience excellence and increased revenues?

  • Are we in the state of being “data rich” and “information poor”?

  • Are we equipped enough to take the “value” out of data?

  • This webcast will address the why, what and the how of “value discovery with analytics”.
