SIMPLIFIED FLINK MANAGEMENT WITH KUBERNETES OPERATORS
How I wish these operators had existed a few years ago when I was setting up Flink…
RUNNING FLINK IN PRODUCTION
This is a great watch for those beginning their journey with Flink.
MANAGING GCP PROJECTS WITH TERRAFORM
An invaluable start on how to start managing GCP projects with Terraform. I wish I’d found this a year ago.
TERRAFORM INIT: BEST PRACTICES FOR PRODUCTION
Rather than fully configuring your backend.tf in a file.``` terraform { backend “gcs” { bucket = “my-bucket-123” prefix = “terraform/state” }
GOOGLE EMBRACES TERRAFORM FOR CLOUD PROJECTS
I’m glad Google are finally starting to embrace Terraform by creating their own modules. Version 0.1.0 of the project-factory looks really promising.
VERVERICA PLATFORM FOR FLINK MANAGEMENT
The DA Platform is a huge step forward for running Flink at scale. I was lucky enough to see a demo and was really impressed. Far more advanced that the what can be achieved with Dataflow at the moment.
BUILDING AN EFFECTIVE SRE CULTURE

DELIVERING RELIABLE HIGH-PERFORMANCE MICROSERVICES
Here are some tips on how to deliver reliable, high-throughput, low-latency (micro)services:
STOCK MARKET PREDICTION WITH MACHINE LEARNING
The premise was simple. Use “big” data analytics and machine learning models to predict the movement of stock prices. However, we had really “dirty” data and our Data Scientists were stuggling to seperate the noise from the signals.

CALCULATE DELTA RISK WITH QUANTLIB
QuantLib is a free and open-source software library for quantitative finance. It provides a wide range of functionality for pricing and risk-managing financial derivatives, including interest rate swaps.
