Thrift on Steroids: A Tale of Scale and Abstraction
ICYDK: Apache Thrift is an RPC framework developed at Facebook for building “scalable cross-language services.” It consists of an interface definition language (IDL), communication protocol, API libraries, and a code generator that allows you to build and evolve services independently and in a polyglot fashion across a wide range of languages. This is nothing new and has been around for over a decade now.
There are a number of notable users of Thrift aside from Facebook, including Twitter (mainly by way of Finagle), Foursquare, Pinterest, Uber (via TChannel), and Evernote, among others-and for good reason, Thrift is mature and battle-tested. https://goo.gl/WN1P7z #DataIntegration #ML
SAP Inside Track Paris 2017
1st of December marked the first SAP Inside Track in the City of Light.
Having such a great location made it impossible for some community members to stay away. People came from all over Europe, Brasil and India.
The pre-event dinner overlapped with the first snowflake in Paris.
From SAP Basis, S/4HANA, SAP Cloud Platform and many more, the diversity of topics covered made it an interesting event. Just glaze over the agenda and you’ll find something interesting regardless of which area of SAP you’re coming from.
Besides a multitude of lectures, there was also a creative Lego IoT showcase:
And even a remote speaker…
Big thanks to the organizers for making it possible and for all the attendees, both speakers and participants, for transforming it into a great event.
PS: We didn’t forget to have fun … a lot ! http://bit.ly/2CbhouB #SAP #SAPCloud #AI
