Hello wonderful big data developers and enthusiasts.

We are excited to announce our next event that will take place on Tuesday, 27 November at 7pm. Our venue is once again the ground floor of The Cube Athens.

Our speakers for the evening will be Christos Sidiropoulos (https://linkedin.com/in/chris-sidiropoulos-2a6b156a/) from Encode and Stelios Lelis (https://linkedin.com/in/stelios-lelis-78179a138/) from Channel VAS.

In the first talk Christos will walk us through the process of running Spark on Mesos, whereas in the second talk Stelios will share with us the key role and business value of big data science on the field of risk management.

Looking forward to seeing you there!

Talks:

1st Talk:
Running Spark on Mesos

In this talk, we will go through setting up a Mesos cluster for scheduling spark jobs. We will use DC/OS, the Distributed Cloud Operating System, to set up our cluster and start executing jobs. We will cover cloud and on premises deployment options. We will see how we can scale our cluster and considerations specific to running and configuring spark jobs. We will also check the monitoring and logging provided. Some of the tools we are going to use: Terraform, Ansible, Cloudformation, Prometheus, Grafana, Docker.

2nd Talk:
Risk Managing Half a Billion People: Putting Big Data Science in Action for Business Value

Big Data Science lies at the core of many recent successful business ventures. Putting Big Data technologies together with effective Data Science to support core business functions is essential for such a success. In this talk we describe our experience, data flow, architecture, technological and algorithmic solutions of applying Big Data Science for risk managing half a billion people.
