  • Two years ago, all of Spotify’s services ran on on our own bare-metal hardware. Recently, we completed the migration of all services to running in Google Cloud Platform primarily on Google Compute Engine. Spotify is in now in the exciting process of journeying from merely Cloud-Hosted to Cloud Native via migrating the running of services to Google Kubernetes Engine. James will talk about the work involved in moving services onto GKE. He'll cover the processes, learnings, and technical pitfalls encountered in this migration and discuss transforming the design of services from simply running in the cloud to really leveraging its benefits.

  • With the adoption of microservices, what was once a single application running on a single server has become hundreds of services running on dozens of servers. Microservices give you more freedom, scalability and agility, but makes understanding what’s going on a lot harder. Things like understanding the lifecycle of a request, finding hotspots in your system, and even getting an alert when something is wrong is now much harder! In this talk, I’ll demo two open source projects, Istio and OpenCensus, that are based on years of production experience at Google and can significantly help you monitor and trace your distributed microservices. Istio can automatically trace RPC calls between services, and OpenCensus makes it easy to add white-box metrics and tracing to your services so you know what’s going on.

  • In 2018 we've seen a huge uptick in applications using Kubernetes for their deployment method. Many times your persistent data layer is a difficult decision. What will you store data in, how long will you need to access this data and who will manage the lifecycle of this data? These are important questions many developers and ops teams have taken to heart. In this talk we'll review how the data layer is managed for high availability and reliability in modern application deployment. The attendee should leave having a better understanding of the options in front of them and their ability to build applications in any hosting environment.

  • Have you ever put a value into a JavaScript variable, and then been unable to use it where you needed it? Or created it and unintentionally overridden something you thought wouldn't be affected? JavaScript has an unusual way of handling where variables are available, we call this "where" a scope. In this talk, we'll go over how JavaScript variables 'bubble' up into higher scopes, how to restrict them to just where you want them, and how this affects variables in your functions. Scopes in JavaScript are a misunderstood aspect by many developers and can create frustration when troubleshooting code. They're also a common topic in technical interviews. This talk doesn't require any knowledge of JavaScript specifically, but a proficiency in some programming language is helpful.

  • The art of debugging is akin to the art of detection. But even the master of deduction Sherlock Holmes had a magnifying glass, and modern day detectives use many tools to achieve their goals. For web developers, the best tools of investigation are right there in the browser. How can one master developer tools to investigate common problems that pop up in web development -- from debugging HTML, CSS, and Javascript to more advanced concepts such as performance and mobile development? This talk will reveal best features and shortcuts for debugging and development of large applications in Chrome, Firefox, and Safari. Developer tools are an awesome asset web developers have at their disposal that can make debugging more like a fun investigation than a cold case. So grab your magnifying glass, and let’s go!

  • While there has been much work on machine learning prediction using chemical descriptors, the importance of structural properties as descriptors is still not completely understood. In this work, we propose a complete set of structural descriptors inspired by classical force-field methods. Specifically, we demonstrate that pairwise radial, nearest neighbor, bond-angle, dihedral-angle and core-charge distributions together play important role in predicting formation energies, OptB88vdW and TBmBJ bandgaps, static refractive indices, modulus of elasticity and exfoliation energies of layered two-dimensional (2D) layered materials. The training data consists of 27000 bulk and 800 monolayer materials obtained from JARVIS-DFT database. We get very accurate model with uncertainty comparable to DFT. We use this model to discover exfoliable 2D-layered materials based on specific property requirements. Additionally, we integrate our ML model for formation energy to genetic algorithm to check if the DFT ground state stays the same in ML model raising a challenge in applying ML for material characterization. Our learnt model is publicly available on web (https://www.ctcms.nist.gov/jarvisml ) for prediction on fly for generalized materials.

  • While the landscape for javascript frameworks has shifted in several ways since single page application development first became popular, Firebase has remained the defacto standard for Back-end as a Service products in web application development. Such that it is now commonly used with all of the most popular frameworks including React, Vue.js and of course Google's own Angular and AngularJS. Although Firebase itself functions pretty much the same no matter what framework it uses, there are differences in how it's implemented and how data is often used or accessed. Join me as I discuss challenges and successes in integrating Firebase with a component based framework, specifically, in this case Vue.js.
