I am a contributor and associated with Apache
Fineract(incubating) project.
Apache Fineract (\’fīn-,ә-,rakt\) is an open source system
for core banking as a platform. Fineract provides a reliable, robust, and
affordable solution for entrepreneurs, financial institutions, and service
providers to offer financial services to the world’s 2 billion underbanked and
unbanked.
Last week I attended two biggest conference of North
America. One is ApacheBigdata & another one is ApacheCon.
Luckily both the conference were in my home city Vancouver.
I got the chance to attend both. Around 3000 attendees from around the world
attended the conference and it was held in Hyatt Regency Vancouver. It gathered together the Apache projects,
people and technologies working in Big Data,
ubiquitous computing and data engineering and science.
Before this event I did not have much knowledge about the Apache’s
other cool projects. I came to know about Apache Hadoop, Twill,Spark,Kafka,Zeppelin.Bigtop,Cassandra.
As a computer science professional I was always wanted to know(curious) how the
big applications like LinkedIn, Netflix ,Intuit and other like so manage so
many number of users. Engineers from these companies explained about their infrastructure
and how the open source softwares like Hadoop,Spark ,Kafka, Twill and others are the backbones and
it does the heavy lifting. They act like plumbing and enables smooth running of biggest applications.
Apache Zeppelin caught my attention. Like Google Document revolutionized the way we create document collaboratively, Apache Zeppelin is the online data visualization tool.One can make beautiful data-driven, interactive and collaborative documents with Spark SQL,Python, Scala, Hive, Flink, Kylin and more. Zeppelin enables rapid development of Spark and Hadoop workflows with simple, easy visualizations. On writing the simple SQL it generates graph on the fly.It includes the interpreter for different language.
One interesting topic was "How to become Well Rested App Developer Rockstar" by Glynn Bird Developer Advocate @ IBM. I can rest & rock too. How ?
He spoke how to secure data layer and one can be in peace of mind while the database is safe and not vulnerable. This can be achieved with a managed database service that:

He spoke how to secure data layer and one can be in peace of mind while the database is safe and not vulnerable. This can be achieved with a managed database service that:
- Gives users increased visibility and control of technology environments
- Enables users to spend less time obsessing over their database
- Provides simpler integration between technologies
Topics were quite interesting and it left me in a state to
know more about this. Not only to know but to use and work on these popular
open source cool products.
