  In the last time PWA became another hype word in web development. There are tons of promises, multiple selling-point features, but after all – these are we, technicians, who empowers all these. Right now Scandiweb is about to release first real-life Magento 2 PWA application, which has reworked UI to utilizes power of PWA and why we adopted it into the old stack.

In this presentation, I will demonstrate how this can be achieved in JavaScript using an IoC container library called InversifyJS.

Hi!

We wish you Happy New Year!
Lets start it with Java focused DevClub.lv.
You are welcome on January 24 at 18:30, Zaļā iela 1, 4th floor (Microsoft Latvia office).

Agenda for Java focused 71st DevClub.lv:

• • • Pijus Navickas from WIX will give a talk “First date with GraalVM”.
      Milda Glebauskaitė from WIX will give a talk “Breaking language barriers with GraalVMs polyglotism”.
      GraalVM – the newest JVM extension generated a lot of buzz in the industry,  already earning the trust of such industry giants as Twitter. The promises GraalVM gives definitely sound good: a better performance, as well as seamless interoperability between multiple languages, all running on the JVM. Should we be interested in it too? In this talk Pijus will explain, what exactly is GraalVM and what hides behind the scene and Milda will demonstrate GraalVM polyglotism, exploring weather we can actually create seamless applications, selecting the best programming language for our tasks, without the overhead.
      (Language – English)
      Tags: graal, jvm, java, javascript, polyglot

      Pijus is a software engineer at Wix. He is a polyglot developer with main background coming from JVM and C++ worlds.
      Milda started her career with Python, but quickly moved to Scala and NodeJs. Currently working as Software Engineer at Wix. She is interested in quality code, test-driven development. Owner of the cutest dog in Wix office.

    • Arturs Drozdovs from Intrum Global Technologies will give a talk “The one and only way of designing Java applications”.
      There is no “one and only” way; each team has to choose the most suitable approach for their situation and project. What is common throughout all the teams is the need to make choices. In this talk we will look at the choices we’ve faced in our team, what options did we consider and what conclusions did we come to.
      (Language – English)
      Tags: fintech, java, boilerplate, architecture, frameworks, exceptions, packages

      Arturs is a software developer at Intrum Global Technologies. He has extensive experience splitting monolith projects into microservices, as such tightly interacting with architectural decisions on all levels of abstractions.

    • Olegs Anastasyevs from ok.ru will give a talk “Resilience in Distributed Systems”.
      ok.ru is the most popular social network in Russia and top 20 website in the world. And it is one of the largest, complex and highly loaded distributed system: 1000s of servers participate in user requests processing in real time. Each of these servers has only small part of data locally and implements only a fraction of processing logic. Social network can hardly be built using shared nothing architecture, so there is a lot of shared state, network communications happens between our servers, different in kind and widely varying in volume.
      In distributed system of such scale we can hardly find a single second free of some failure, glitch or lag. How to build a continuously failing system, which works correct nevertheless? What are full and partial failures and how to address them?

Agenda for FinTech focused 70th DevClub.lv:

• • Erik Kaju from TransferWise will give a talk “How to build a payment card product”.
    For a long time payment cards used to be the domain of banks. In the last decade, the paradigm has shifted – we see more and more regular enterprises issuing their own cards, be it telcos, grocery store chains, various fintech startups etc.
    But what does it take to build a payment card from scratch? How do cards work? What is the anatomy of card transactions?
    This is a talk focusing on technical and product aspects of the card issuance, based on true story.

This talk will explain how Nordigen uses transaction data to provide multiple tiers of information to financial service providers.

        Brand new fancy frameworks appear quite often nowadays. Sometimes we as developers are trying to keep up to date by blindly chasing them. But is the investment worth?
        What business expects from us? Fancy frameworks or solid delivery pipeline?
        How can we focus on writing line of business code?
        How can we postpone architectural decisions about frameworks?
        How to make sure that your project structure reflects the business, not the technical brainfuck?

• • • Arturs Valujevs from Intrum Global Technologies will give a talk How to Succeed with Machine Learning.
      There is certainly a growing demand for incorporating machine learning solutions into various types of business. Yet, the knowledge base is not always keeping up with hype around this subject. Some reports [source: Global CIO Point of View] tell us that 9 out of 10 CIOs plan to use machine learning solutions to achieve certain goals in their companies. Yet only around 20% actually have something in production and only 5% use machine learning extensivelly. Why? There are quite a few reasons, and that’s what this talk is all about.

  • • Raivis Skadiņš from Tilde will give a talk Artificial Intelligence and Bots.
      In this session, we will go through various aspects of Bot development. We will start with an introduction, where I will introduce Bots (sometimes called also virtual assistants or conversational interfaces), I will tell why they are so popular now and outline main benefits. I will explain main concepts behind this technology – dialog management, natural language understanding, intents, entities etc. Then I will show what tools and technologies are there and how a typical bot is built. Finally I will tell about current limitations and challenges to deal with. And I hope there will be time for questions, discussions and exchange of ideas. I believe you will get good insight into bot development and understanding how you could introduce Bots in your projects.

• Yury Nevinitsin  from Odnoklassniki.ru  will share an successful experience of deploying Druid in place of MSSQL
  “Druid is a high-performance, column-oriented, distributed data store” http://druid.io
  I will tell how they solved the situation when MSSQL-based statistics system (50TB sized) became:
  – slow: average response time was many times slower than required
  – unstable: at peak hours it was up to 30 minutes late
  – expensive: expences for Microsoft licences could be millions USD.
  In Odnoklassniki.ru Druid is used to store and query operational statistics for the last 2 years. At the moment we process tens billons records each day (hundreds gigabytes by size).
  Why Druid?
  We chose druid (among open-source solutions) because it promised us high-performance, scalability and fault-tolerance. All three properties were required, and there were no other solution at the moment of making decision.

• Bogdan Ozerkin from SIA Dynatech will give a talk Log management in a Service architecture
  When you implement service architecture, there are many ways to screw up, one of which would be to miss out on debugging solutions. As you detect problems in your services, valuable insights on what’s going on “inside” should be available, in order to be able to react on incident and provide solutions faster. In this talk, I would like to dig in to the nature of logging, providing an overview on what it is and how do it in a Service architecture. Additionally tell You a story about how we created an Ad hoc solution for our infrastructure

• Dmitry Buzdin from Riga DevDays will give a talk “Continuous Testing at Scale”
  With the raise of Continuous Delivery test automation is becoming a norm rather than luxury. However, when dealing with high-complexity, large and modular projects you would be disappointed to learn that it is a challenge to set-up a fully automated continuous testing pipeline. The problems you are encountering are tool incompatibility and general lack of suitable solutions to scale out test automation processes. Imagine tens of thousands of automated test cases, which are required to be run for a product to be fully tested.
  During this talk Dmitry will answer the following questions:
  – How do you run your automated tests in a shortest time frame possible?
  – How do you know if your functional test coverage is improving?
  – How do you select and run the most appropriate test cases?
  – How do you get actionable insight from your testing process results?
  – How do you know if it is safe to release software package to production?
  This presentation will guide you though a journey of building and improving test automation pipeline based on Jenkins in a large telco organisation with hundreds of thousands test executions performed on daily basis. By looking at this example it would possible to see what tools are missing at the market currently and where test automation industry should focus efforts next. The talk will outline examples of micro services developed to fill the functional gaps. This experience would be beneficial and applicable in your next large-scale CD project.
