Architecture night

1. Lambda architectures (Carlos Queiroz, Pivotal)
2. Unsharding the information systems (Eric Vergnaud, JP Morgan Chase)

The lambda architecture has been proposed as a general purpose data system that aims to solve the problem of computing arbitrary functions on an arbitrary dataset in (near) real-time. In this talk we introduce the lambda architecture and show how it can be implemented with SpringXD, Hadoop (HDFS and MapReduce) and an in-memory database as the foundation of the architecture implementation. To validate the architecture we introduced a smart grid application that demonstrates the value of the lambda architecture for real world problems.

Eric has 25 years of experience in technology. He has worked for startups, software vendors and some of the biggest banks. As such, he has faced many challenging situations, where the existing architecture impacts the IT change strategy.
