A common challenge we hear from #banks going through #modernization/#transformation is around #integration and #realtimeprocessing. Our CTO Shahir Daya shares how with #Redpanda’s acquisition of #Benthos, “Redpanda Connect will enable #ZafinIO to ingest #data from a broad variety of systems efficiently without any unnecessary hops, process it in real time and deliver it to the target system, be it the Zafin #platform or other modernized system.” #BankingTechnology #Zafin #ZafinIntegrateandOrchestrate #ProductandPricing #Data #Personalization #Transformation #CoreBanking

I spent time lately working with the Milvus vector DB. It's very feature-rich, and meets the needs of most large enterprises. The Zilliz folks had written a blog post on building a basic RAG and a ReAct (Reasoning+Act) AI agent with Langchain.rb and Milvus: https://lnkd.in/e8g-YG-T Note: The `Langchain::Agent::ReActAgent` class has been replaced with the `Langchain::Assistant` class.

At the core of effective engineering leadership is the ability to stay connected with your team. This is perhaps the most challenging aspect because retaining the respect of your people is difficult unless you remain technically involved yourself. In my journey as an engineering leader, staying true to the individual contributor role that originally earned their respect has kept me close. This approach extends beyond technical expertise; it's about maintaining a deep connection with the core activities that propel product development forward at Gearflow. One of my biggest professional fears is becoming irrelevant or disconnected from my team and our work. This fear motivates me to continually reinvent and retool in response to market demands. Next month, I'll be sharing about my adventures generating synthetic data recently. And while I'm no expert when I start preparing for these talks, the process is incredibly valuable. It's less about delivering a perfect talk and more about how the preparation expands my thinking and exposes me to new capabilities. This helps me connect the dots to opportunities at Gearflow that bring real innovation to our customers. Speaking regularly holds me accountable and pushes me to learn ahead of the curve, ensuring I remain relevant and impactful day-to-day. Every talk is a journey of discovery, helping me to lead with humility, communicate clearly, and inspire a culture of innovation through a deep, technical understanding of our work.

How #PlatoElevate differentiates itself from other conferences is that it focuses on a series of "How do we do X at company Y" presented by very experienced leaders in the domain. In addition, there are Workshops and Roundtables focused on specific topics of interest. I will be hosting one as well: "Topic: Decision Making through Meeting, Decision Making tools. How to take effective decisions for a Platform team with multiple Stakeholders/Customers" If you are interested in joining the conference, there are coupons available. (https://lnkd.in/gUeH4M4C)

I think Mongo compatibility is one of MariaDB MaxScale's best kept secrets. In this post, @dincosman ran a 1M MongoDB insert test against Oracle, FerretDB and MaxScale. The conclusion? "In my environment, MariaDB’s NoSQL Protocol Module exhibited superior performance compared to both Oracle’s Mongo API and FerretDB. We seamlessly utilized MariaDB as the backend without needing to alter any application code." #mongodb #nosql #database

Since CloudAhoy started, I have made new friends: customers, partners, teammates, media. We have shared many cherished moments. It was a fantastic journey. –– A pilot never forgets the first solo flight. Mine was in 2007, the same year the first iPhone came out. In 2008, I bought an iPhone 3, wrote a post-flight debriefing app for myself, and named it CloudAhoy. I added a flight analyzer and a web viewer. Back in the day most pilots were using flip phones, so I handed several iPhones to CFIs I knew at KBED, to try CloudAhoy. For me, a computer geek, the ability to debrief my flights using actual data was a must. CloudAhoy combined my passion for aviation with my passion for technology. I registered CloudAhoy Inc. in 2010, the same year the first iPad came out. The CloudAhoy iPad app was showcased in Apple’s Tim Cook 2013 keynote address. https://lnkd.in/ecYRyjTh Then Tani Shavit joined: how fortunate can a man be? Together we formed a vision and led its execution. The mom-and-pop company grew. We created a close-knit community of power users; Tani and I continually incorporated their inputs. We added scoring, and extended the analysis precision. Our customers, then and now, include weekend warriors like myself, major flight universities, jet charter operators, and the US military. Each with their specific flight analysis and safety challenges. As diverse as the pilot community is, we all care deeply about safety. You see, when reaching rotation speed and pitching the nose up, no matter how many times you’ve done it before, your heart is filled with the same indescribable joy it felt on your first solo, and your brain works in turbo mode on safety, just like it did back then. Aviation safety is the reason we were burning the midnight oil. In March 2023 we released P-FOQA 1.0 (later renamed FDA), the first pilot-centric FOQA with a focus on safety for GA pilots https://lnkd.in/eyx_mS7f . Most of our large customers are using it now - OPAs, flight schools, and charter operators. Pilots receive an automatic safety report each time they land. So do safety officers after a safety event. I think it’s a big deal for pilots, and for their organizations. In March 2023, less than a  month after P-FOQA’s release, we became part of ForeFlight, a Boeing company https://lnkd.in/ejz2GMBm .  I, and the entire CloudAhoy team, moved to ForeFlight. ForeFlight is a company which I always admired. I have been an enthusiastic customer since 2010. Now it’s time for me to move on.  I remain on the frequency.

Over the course of each month, I spend a few moments each day or so collecting interesting links, and then, at the end of the month, I bundle them (with the help of some nifty automation scripts) into an easily digestible reading list. Here's everything that I found interesting in June 2024 about machines behaving intelligently: #qfm #quantumfaxmachine #blog #machine #intelligence #ai #genai https://lnkd.in/eW5VSgJs

This is really great and resonates - thanks Bryan Solar for the link! Couldnt align more to this - why add YAF (Yet Another Feature) when you can refine, prune, and streamline a feature in your existing product offering... On the engineering side this is also beneficial as it is less Cognitive Load and more time to cover Engineering PASS (Performance, Availability, Security, & Scalability)

Stop playing Tetris with your teams and projects. Investing heavily in meticulous planning to try and achieve the fantasy outcome of multiple teams, schedules, budgets, people, and projects aligning perfectly to meet your overly ambitious and tightly packed agenda is doomed to fail. The odds of that succeeding are slim-to-none yet, it's what we default to when there's so much we want to do. Do more by doing less! 1) Reduce WIP: Work on less things in parallel, not more. 2) Prioritize: Work on only the thing(s) that will deliver the most value the soonest. Will this guarantee success? No. But, the odds of success are orders of magnitude higher than trying to plan for a perfect game of Tetris. John Cutler's latest installment of The Beautiful Mess, "The Failure Threshold" explains this beautifully. How many of you have been in the following situation (pulled from his post): "If George and Ina each allocate 50% time to Project Thunder, and then Lenny does 10% time combined with moving the two open reqs to Team Apollo and hiring those roles in the next two months, we should—if we sort of combine Project Thunder and Project Inferno—be able to finish Thunder, Inferno, and chip away at Homestead so that when The Hex Pistols are done with the event streaming re-architecture and Project Kafka-esque, assuming Xenia approves the design document, we should be able to hit the deadline for Project Sycamore as promised in the 2023 annual plan."
