Ray Actors are a powerful feature of the Ray framework, enabling stateful and asynchronous computing in distributed systems. In this blog post, we’ll explore three advanced concepts of Ray Actors: Named Actors, Actor Lifecycles, and Actor Pooling, each accompanied by practical examples.
Build rot, a form of technical debt, subtly undermines the effectiveness of a build system over time, affecting both Maven and Gradle builds. This degradation is due to poor practices, neglect, or outdated technologies, similar to the more commonly discussed ‘software rot’ or ‘code rot’ in broader development contexts.
In the rapidly evolving world of data analytics, the need for real-time data processing and analytics has become increasingly crucial for businesses seeking to make timely, informed decisions. This shift towards real-time data necessitates the integration of traditional data transformation tools like dbt (data build tool) with streaming platforms such as Apache Kafka or AWS Kinesis. While dbt excels in batch processing, adapting it to a streaming context presents unique challenges and opportunities. In this post, we’ll explore these challenges and the innovative solutions that can be employed to integrate dbt effectively with real-time data streams.
The Datahub metadata platform enables data discovery, data observability, and federated governance that helps tame the complexity of your data ecosystem.
Hadoop Distributed File System (HDFS) has evolved significantly to accommodate the diverse storage needs of large-scale data processing. The introduction of HDFS storage policies is a testament to this evolution, offering a flexible and cost-effective solution for managing data storage.
In the dynamic world of container orchestration, Kubernetes stands out as a robust platform for managing diverse workloads. For Java applications, particularly, the decision of how to effectively scale in a Kubernetes environment is nuanced, involving a careful consideration of both CPU and memory metrics. This complexity is rooted in the unique characteristics of Java’s memory management.
