How to accelerate testing with in-sprint automation

In modern development practices like Agile and DevOps, testers work in compressed test execution cycles, and automate regression tests to reduce time, efforts and costs involved in testing. But even so, testing doesn’t advance at the same speed as development. The most common form of test automation is N-1 Sprint automation in which QA teams test one sprint behind development.

Speeding up Rails with Memoization

Whoever first said that "the fastest code is no code" must have really liked memoization. After all, memoization speeds up your application by running less code. In this article, Jonathan Miles introduces us to memoization. We'll learn when to use it, how to implement it in Ruby, and how to avoid common pitfalls. Buckle up!

Splunk your Kafka with SQL

Here at Lenses.io, we’re focused on making data technologies such as Apache Kafka and Kubernetes as accessible to every organization as possible. It’s part of our DataOps vision and company DNA. Lenses is built by developers, for developers. We understand the headaches they live with and the challenges they face seemingly have to learn a new data technology every few months.

The reality is that no matter how slick the advertising, how pervasive the presence across conferences and webcasts, or how high the C-suite’s former government offices … it’s the offerings that matter most.

Implementing distributed model training for deep learning with Cloudera Machine Learning

Many enterprise data science teams are using Cloudera’s machine learning platform for model exploration and training, including the creation of deep learning models using Tensorflow, PyTorch, and more. However, training a deep learning model is often a time-consuming process, thus GPU and distributed model training approaches are employed to accelerate the training speed.
