Predictable Code in Elixir: Expressions as Reducers and Macros

In the first part of this series on maintainable Elixir code, we started by applying rules for code predictability in our code design. We immediately saw an emerging pattern: a series of transformations on state. In this part, we'll explore this pattern further. We'll first learn how to write expressions as reducers. Then we'll use metaprogramming to make use of reducers and enforce code style seamlessly. Finishing up, we'll see an example where all the pieces fit together. Let's get going!

The Red Velvet Rope of Low-Code Data Security

Here at Appian we're really excited to have released our low-code data security feature earlier this year. If you're not sure what that is, you're in good company. Even our parents just look at us blankly before saying "that's nice, dear" and changing the subject. Someone who doesn't love us unconditionally might be more skeptical.

From AutoML to AutoMLOps: Automated Logging & Tracking of ML

AutoML with experiment tracking enables logging and tracking results and parameters, to optimize machine learning processes. But current AutoML platforms only train models based on provided data. They lack solutions that automate the entire ML pipeline, leaving data scientists and data engineers to deal with manual operationalization efforts. In this post, we provide an open source solution for AutoMLOps, which automates engineering tasks so that your code is automatically ready for production.
