SAN FRANCISCO, March 26, 2019 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Lightbend today announced that Kubeflow, the industry-standard framework for machine learning workflows in Kubernetes-based environments, is now a certified component of Lightbend Platform, the industry’s leading system for building streaming data pipelines and reactive microservices.

At Strata Data Conference 2019, Wampler’s sessions will cover: Hands-on Machine Learning with Kafka-based Streaming Pipelines and Executive Briefing: What it takes to use machine learning in fast data pipelines.

Lightbend today announced that CTO and company co-founder Jonas Bonér will host the QCon London computing conference track “Operationalizing Microservices: Design, Deliver, Operate” running in London March 4 through March 8, 2019.

Stateful Service Design Considerations for the Kubernetes Stack - At this summer’s QCon in New York, Jonas Bonér delivered one of the most popular talks of the conference with his focus on Designing Events-First Microservices. In this InfoQ Q&A, we asked Bonér to explain how “bringing bad habits from monolithic design” is a road to nowhere for service design, and where he sees his Akka framework fitting in the cloud-native stack.

We’re at another juncture in enterprise computing where there is a large push behind a big vision of the future, the push towards serverless architectures — a world where less human oversight and participation is required in operations.

As digital transformation drives more requirements for applications that can process large quantities of data in real-time, Lightbend Platform addresses end-to-end requirements for developer productivity, responsiveness, resilience and elasticity in cloud-native systems

Lightbend, the company behind the Scala JVM language and developer of the Reactive Platform, unveiled the 2.0 version of its Fast Data Platform today at the Strata Data Conference in New York. This version of the one-year-old platform has been optimized for Kubernetes cluster deployment.

DZone talked to Mark Brewer, CEO of Lightbend, about defining new abstractions for enterprise systems in a microservices world.

Kubernetes and Fast Data Platform is the perfect marriage between distributed computing's most production-grade container orchestration solution in Kubernetes, and the most streaming data-optimized programming abstractions and run-time tooling in Fast Data Platform.

Streaming and other data applications continue to be paired with microservices as streaming data shake up application designs targeting AI, machine learning and other data-driven use cases.

The New Stack catches up with Jonas Bonér as he explains why Kubernetes and Akka are a perfect match for cloud-native computing with Kuberentes and Docker solving problems like a failure from the infrastructure level and Akka addressing those problems from a programming model perspective.

Diamond sponsor IBM and Platinum sponsors Accenture and YoppWorks help bring together leading innovators in building and running distributed Reactive systems at scale.

Machine learning models — artificial intelligence (AI) that identifies relationships among hundreds, thousands, or even millions of data points — are rarely easy to architect. Data scientists spend weeks and months not only preprocessing the data on which the models are to be trained, but extracting useful features (i.e., the data types) from that data, narrowing down algorithms, and ultimately building (or attempting to build) a system that performs well not just within the confines of a lab, but in the real world.

Epic Games ingests 92 million events per minute (or about 54 billion events per day) from Fortnite clients. The company is looking to technologies like Kubernetes to help it manage all the back-end servers and services, including dozens of microservices written in Java, Akka, and Go, that it needs to run its game.

With the container market expected to reach $2.7 billion by 2020, developers need a programming model for distributed computing. Distributed computing is the technology inside containers, that is managed by Kubernetes.

InfoQ catches up with James Roper, senior developer and co-creator of the Lagom microservices framework at Lightbend, on recently being named a committer for Eclipse MicroProfile and why Lightbend became a participating member of Jakarta EE.

So much has happened in the enterprise Java space over the past few months that it kind of boggles the mind. Fortunately, the rockstars, gurus and industry watchers have been busily sorting out the whats and wherefores of this epic transformation in the blogosphere. (You thought it was just me, right?) Seems like a good time to pass along a bit of that wisdom with some recommended reading.

IBM's Cloud Private for Data is the latest spin on the age-old idea of turnkey system, but architected and updated for the architecture of the private cloud. It addresses a need for organizations wishing the flexibility of the cloud whose policies otherwise rule out use of public clouds.

A newly minted committer to MicroProfile discusses how he thinks the initiative will interact and integrate with Jakarta EE in the future.

Latest survey of Java EE developers finds cloud, microservices and containers dominate future plans.

The results of the Jakarta EE community survey revealed that cloud-native development is a top requirement in the platform’s evolution, alongside the need for a faster pace of innovation on the Jakarta EE platform. Users’ wish has been granted! The Eclipse Foundation unveiled the new open source governance model and a “cloud-native Java” path for Jakarta EE.

The community's top three priorities for Jakarta: the platform should evolve to support cloud-native development, microservices and a faster pace of innovation.

IBM has been struggling to invigorate its appeal to developers, but a year-old partnership with Lightbend is finally paying off. By working with Lightbend, it seems that IBM has recognized that it needs an infusion of savvy developer expertise, coupled with winning developer-oriented technology. In Lightbend it gets both.

As part of our ongoing look at the evolution of Jakarta EE, for this episode of CodeTalk, we discuss cloud-native trends for the Java stack with Jonas Bonér, the original author of the Reactive Manifesto.

There are many reasons why you should care about events; they drive autonomy, increase stability, help you move faster and allow for time travel, Jonas Bonér noted in his presentation at QCon London 2018, where he explored how events are reshaping modern systems.

In this article, Jonas Bonér and Viktor Klang start by reviewing the current state of enterprise integration and its challenges, and then demonstrate how organizations can achieve more scalable, composable, and functional architecture for interconnecting systems and applications by adopting a reactive and stream-based mindset and tools.

“Microservices,” along with “serverless” and “DevOps,” are terms that are hard to define because they describe patterns and architectures as much as specific technologies. Yet, survey data points to a strong correlation between many of these subjects. A survey conducted by Lightbend in mid-2017 focusing on “fast data” showed another strong link between microservices adoption and use of streaming technologies.

Investing in streaming enables data in motion and real-time applications, as well as some of the most interesting AI and ML use cases today.

Three keys to know for microservices:

1. independent deployment;
2. your own schema; and,
3. accessing data through APIs.

Lightbend VP of corporate development and biz dev, Brad Murdoch explains how fast data is disrupting the modern big data application stack, and the significance of Lightbend’s new distribution.

The company is best known for its Reactive application development platform but has responded to customer interest in streaming data with the launch of its Fast Data Platform, which includes Apache Spark, Apache Kafka and Apache Flink, among other things.

Here are five companies exhibiting at the Strata Data Conference this week that are either new, or are doing something new and innovative with big data.

Lightbend recently revealed the findings of a new survey of 2,457 global developers. We talked with Mark Brewer, the CEO of Lightbend about the key findings, differences between fast data and big data, misconceptions and more.

Over 2,400 developers say fast data development trends are driving language and framework choices, app response times, and adoption of real-time streaming technologies.

On the day of Lightbend's release of its new Fast Data Platform, VMblog catches up with Lightbend CTO and Akka creator Jonas Bonér, to hear his thoughts on where fast data use cases are leading JVM developers, and what he sees coming next.

To remain relevant, companies are going to need to master the intricacies of 'fast data.' However, there are some challenges to its adoption.

Today at the O’Reilly Strata Data Conference, Lightbend announced general availability of the Lightbend Fast Data Platform, the first end-to-end platform that makes it easier for enterprises to design, build, and run streaming applications. 

In a new Lightbend survey, more than 2,400 developers say fast data development trends are driving language and framework choices, application response times, and accelerating adoption of real-time streaming technologies.

Recently a partnership with Lightbend underscored Big Blue’s commitment to the Java and Scala communities.

A consortium consisting of IBM Corp., Intel Corp. and four venture capital funds today led a $15 million funding round into Lightbend Inc., the startup co-founded by Scala creator Martin Odersky. The firm offers a development platform designed to help organizations harness the language’s unique features to build better software applications.

The goal is to give Java and Scala developers a complete toolchain for building AI and cognitive applications that run on premises, hybrid or in the cloud.

Along with Scala, Lightbend's claim to fame is a "reactive" application development platform for building distributed applications. The platform leverages micro-services along with "fast data" on a message-driven run time. The approach is designed to help scale enterprise applications on cloud infrastructure.

IBM, Intel and others are pumping $15 million into Lightbend, the company behind the Scala programming language developers are using to build artificial intelligence applications that draw on real-time data. The funding, led by IBM, builds on a partnership it announced with the startup last month to advance the development of AI in the enterprise.

The partnership will result in the development of enterprise-grade cognitive applications on-premise and in the cloud.

The fundamental building block of Akka actor systems is an actor. In a way, actors are analogous to Lego or Minecraft blocks: With the simple building blocks of Lego and Minecraft, it is possible to craft magnificent structures.

In this abstract of Jonas Bonér's full article, we will look at microservices, not as a tool to scale the organization, development and release process (even though it's one of the main reasons for adopting microservices), but from an architecture and design perspective, and put it in its true context: distributed systems. 

Lightbend today announced its partnership with HPE Security Fortify to develop breakthrough static analysis security testing capabilities for the Scala programming language.

When it comes to the rush to microservices, Java developers may feel a bit short.

In a conversation with InfoQ, Lightbend co-founder and CTO Jonas Bonér shared his view on Lagom.

Java is Dead is Dead. It was fashionable for a while to comment on the idea Java has legs with a curt “oh no Java the language is dead but the JVM is decent”. The cool kids like Twitter were using Scala. But Java the language shows consistent ongoing strength. For data, Stephen just dropped our regular programming language rankings and Java is still very much a thing.

Today, Lightbend announced a collaboration with Intel to bring low-latency and high availability to Big Data streaming pipelines running on the Java Virtual Machine (JVM). As "Fast Data" becomes a requirement for every enterprise seeking to make use of its data assets for analytics and real-time decision making, Intel is utilizing Akka and the Reactive Streams specification from Lightbend to accelerate innovations in data streaming.

Jonas Bonér is a Java programming pioneer, perhaps best known as the author of Akka, a toolkit and runtime for distributed, resilient applications on the JVM.  He's also the CTO and co-founder of Lightbend (formerly Typesafe) that he started with Scala creator Martin Odersky in 2011.  He knows a lot about building scale-out applications.  Lightbend just announced a new framework called Lagom that is designed for Java developers building microservices. 

Two characteristics to consider when building a microservices-based architecture.

Lightbend (formerly known as Typesafe) today unveiled a new framework for Java developers creating microservices-based applications. Dubbed Lagom, the open source framework was built with technologies from the company's Reactive Platform, including the Play Web framework, the Akka message-driven runtime, and the ConductR deployment orchestrator. It was designed, the company said, to "reduce the risk and accelerate the transition to a microservices architecture for traditional Java enterprises."

There are few trickier tasks in business -- any business -- than changing a company's name. There are branding issues, legal complications, marketing considerations. Just ask the folks at Lightbend, formerly Typesafe, who have been going through the process for months, and today announced its new moniker.

Lightbend's Lagom framework helps Java developers create and manage microservices architectures.

Typesafe, provider of the world's leading Reactive Platform, today announced that it has partnered with DataStax, the company that delivers Apache Cassandra™ to the enterprise, to work with joint customers developing Reactive applications designed to leverage data in motion. Mobile, Web and Internet of Things (IoT) systems increasingly operate on data in near real-time. As these systems embrace "data in motion," traditional batch architectures are being re-imagined as pure stream-based architectures. Specifications such as Reactive Streams, and stream processing libraries such as Akka Streams and Spark Streaming, provide the standards and plumbing necessary to implement such systems effectively...

Dean Wampler explains one of the most noteworthy trends for Big Data developers today: the growing importance of speed and flexibility for data pipelines in the enterprise.

Published originally on TechRepublic

Back in the olden days of 2014, "big" used to be enough for big data. Just a year later, however, data also has to be fast. Really, really fast. "Big data," of course, has never truly been a matter of data volumes. At least, not exclusively. It has also fixated on data velocity (and variety), as Gartner's 3 V's popularized. But knowing that data needs real-time processing and actually doing it are two very different things. To better understand the industry shift toward fast, stream-based data processing, I reached out to Kevin Webber, developer advocate for Typesafe. Last year, his team led the rollout of Walmart Canada's new e-commerce platform built on a Scala/Akka/Play stack.

SAN FRANCISCO, CA--(Marketwired - Sep 8, 2015) - Typesafe, provider of the world's leading Reactive platform and the company behind Play Framework, Akka, and Scala, today announced a new white paper that explores the evolution of big data to "fast data" and how modern streaming architectures are transforming Reactive applications.

For the past 70 years, digital computers have followed the principles of a model developed by Jon von Neumann in 1945. The model effectively defines how a stored computer program, comprising a set of instructions, runs. Most of the world’s computers, from the very first – the 1948 Manchester Baby – to the latest generation of mobile devices, x86 desktops and servers, use this model. Programs, including the operating system, are run as a series of machine instructions, which are fetched and then run one step at a time. It is a model used in computer languages such as C and Java and operating systems such as Unix and Windows. The von Neumann model has served the industry well – but its limitations are starting to show. "Twenty years ago, someone did not develop a website to have millions of customers in parallel," says Patrick Di Loreto, betting company William Hill’s research and development engineering lead.

SAN FRANCISCO, CA--(Marketwired - Aug 20, 2015) - Mesosphere, creators of the Datacenter Operating System (DCOS) for managing cloud and datacenter resources at scale, today announced Mesosphere Infinity, the first real-time enterprise-ready open source offering that lets companies capture the enormous new business opportunities created by the rise of ubiquitous data, including fraud and anomaly detection, real-time personalization, and Internet of Things (IoT) applications, such as connected consumer devices and supply chain optimization. Learn more at https://mesosphere.com/infinity.

Innovation is flourishing in real-time big data technologies, but that could also create problems, says the Reactive movements Jonas Bonér. 

Big data means big competition.

As vendors at every layer of the "stack" vie for their place in the evolving big data architecture, one of the busiest battlegrounds so far may be the back-end data movement and logic between systems. For many, the "big" in big data is less about overall volume of data and much more about the need for speed in shuffling data around in real time.

Typesafe today announced it is offering commercial support for a new distribution of Apache Spark designed to run on the Mesosphere Datacenter Operating System (DCOS). With Spark on DCOS and enterprise-grade support options from Typesafe, it has never been easier to run Spark on any modern version of Linux (CentOS, CoreOS, Red Hat and Ubuntu), on any major cloud (AWS, GCE, Azure, Digital Ocean), private datacenter or hybrid cloud.

Looking to make it much simpler to deploy Apache Spark in-memory computing clusters in production environments, Mesosphere today announced a partnership with Typesafe to provide support for an instance of Spark that can be deployed on top of the Mesosphere Data Center Operating System (DCOS) running in the Amazon Web Services (AWS) cloud.

For enterprises creating applications and microservices connected to streaming data sources, speed and reliability of data movement is critical. Akka Streams and Slick 3.0 bring the best of Reactive systems to streaming architectures (responsive, resilient, elastic and message driven), and today both have been released for general availability as part of the Typesafe Reactive Platform.

Akka creator Jonas Bonér sat down with DZone to give our readers a download on the general availability of Akka Streams, and the features and functionality that he believes are going to be most exciting to developers creating applications that participate in streaming architectures.

The first stable drop from Reactive Streams has landed, with version 1.0.0 available for immediate use. All the time spent discussing, debating, programming and testing has led to an asynchronous stream solution for “back pressure”.

On the heels of the release of Reactive Streams 1.0.0, I decided to grab a couple of engineers — Ben Christensen of RxJava and Netflix fame, Stephane Maldini of Pivotal’s Project Reactor and the inimitable Dr. Roland Kuhn of the Akka Project at Typesafe — that have been engaged in the project, to ask them a couple of quick questions about Reactive Streams, their involvement, and what the future has in store for Reactive Streams.

After more than a year on the drawing board, Reactive Streams has released version 1.0 of their API for several different platforms, Java among them.

Even mid-market companies need sophisticated tools to speed development and scale. Matt Asay explains.

Slick, Typesafe's database query and access library for Scala, received a major overhaul in the just released version 3.0. Also dubbed "Reactive Slick", it introduces a new API to compose and run database queries in a reactive way.

Reactive Streams 1.0.0 has reached its objective of defining a common standard for asynchronous streaming processes on the JVM, for flexible and reactive data processing. Since February 2014, representatives from Typesafe, Red Hat, Netflix, Pivotal, Oracle, Twitter and spray.io have been collaborating in various work groups to define a standard for asynchronous data streaming on the JVM. Not an easy task, considering what it was that Reactive Streams was aiming for: to “provide a standard for asynchronous stream processing with non-blocking back pressure.”

Typesafe have been tireless in their quest to reactively-label all the things – but this week,thanks to the GA availability of the final version of Reactive Streams 1.0 for the JVM, they’ve had to do very little to push the buzzword. Even a self-professed C# fanboy on Hacker News was moved to comment that “the Java community has done something really amazing” with this project.

Typesafe, provider of the world's leading Reactive platform and the company behind Play Framework, Akka, and Scala, today announced that Akka has been honored by JAX readers as the "Most Innovative Open Source Tech in 2015."

A couple of months ago, Typesafe put out a survey on Apache Spark adoption in the developer community. The idea for the survey came from some interesting results of a previous survey Typesafe released last September on Java 8.

A new survey from startups Databricks and Typesafe revealed some interesting insights into how software developers are using the Apache Spark data-processing framework. Spark is an open source project that has attracted a lot of attention — and a lot of investment — over the past couple years as a faster, easier alternative to MapReduce for processing big data.

Hadoop is hot. But its kissing cousin Spark is even hotter.

Indeed, Spark is hot like Apache Hadoop was half a decade ago. Spawned at UC Berkeley’s AMPLab, Spark is a fast data processing engine that works in the Hadoop ecosystem, replacing MapReduce. It is designed to perform both batch processing (similar to MapReduce) and new workloads like streaming, interactive queries, and iterative algorithms, like those commonly found in machine learning and graph processing.

Reactive programming company Typesafe today released a survey that confirms the high adoption rate of Apache Spark, an open source Big Data processing framework that improves traditional Hadoop-based analytics.

Based on Survey of More Than 2,100 Respondents, 13% Already Using Spark in Production, 20% Planning to Use in 2015, and 31% "Evaluating"

Architecting software to fail as gracefully as possible.

Scott Fulton, The New Stack, interviews Typesafe Co-founder and CTO, Jonas Bonér about Akka, the Reactive Manifesto and how to handle the scale-out problem. 

Kathryn Murphy, senior vice president of Apps and Platform at Tomax, discusses how retailers are turning to reactive programming to address new requirements in scale and concurrency.

Typesafe co-founder and CTO, Jonas Bonér, shares the top trends in reactive programming for 2015. 

"Typesafe recently released a report based on their survey findings of over 3000 Java developers, focusing on the adoption of Java 8 as well as upcoming developer technology trends. From the survey results, the Java 8 adoption rate overall looks strong, particularly since version 8 had been available for only six months when the survey was taken back in September 2014. This is significant as Oracle’s Java 7 support will potentially end as early as April 2015."

Typesafe released a new survey today on Apache Spark, a "fast and general engine for large-scale data processing." After finding surprising results about Apache Spark from their Java 8 survey released in September, they have decided to more closely look at trends surrounding the Spark engine. 

The award ceremony for the Swiss ICT Award took place yesterday in Lucerne. EPFL spin-off iRewind won in the Newcomer category. Martin Odersky, Professor at EPFL and co-founder of the start-up Typesafe was honoured with a Special Award.

In a recent article on Medium, TypeSafe's Kevin Webber argues that reactive programming "isn’t just another trend but rather the paradigm for modern software developers to learn" since it helps them to build systems that are responsive, resilient, and scalable. He also suggests that actor-based concurrency is the most convenient foundations for a reactive system.

Typesafe’s latest survey on Java 8 explains the success of lambdas and what it means for Scala.

Java doesn't look like surrendering its lead with developers anytime soon, as adoption Java 8 is six months ahead of schedule.

Matt Asay spoke with Typesafe CTO and Akka creator Jonas Bonér about recent Java 8 survey.

Typesafe ran a survey of Java developers in February, along with a follow-up in September - you might have seen that one on DZone- and together they present an interesting look at the uptake of Java 8 and other industry trends.

Taking the opportunity offered by the update to the Reactive Manifesto, InfoQ asked Jonas Bonér, Typesafe CTO and original author of the first Reactive Manifesto, some questions about his vision of “Reactive” applications. Jonas offered his thoughts about both desirable features of reactive applications and what is not reactive programming.
