Elixir: Happy Developers and Scaleable Backends? Listen to Sanne 🌟 Kalkman from CodeSandbox this week during DEVWorld Conference online to her talk on #Elixir. 👉 Sign up to replay via https://lnkd.in/eZUKXrGd According to the 2023 Stack Overflow Developer Survey, Elixir is the second most loved programming language, and its web framework Phoenix takes the number one spot in most loved frameworks. Not only is Elixir a joy to work with, it is also an excellent choice for highly scaleable and fault-tolerant backend systems and is an important part of successful tech companies such as Discord and Podium This talk will highlight the main ways in which Elixir differs from other commonly used backend languages like #JavaScript or #Ruby. Then, it will give developers from other languages an introduction into OTP, the underlying framework that makes it almost trivial to build concurrent and highly fault-tolerant systems in Elixir (and Erlang). Lastly, Sanne will highlight some of the specific ways in which Elixir and #Phoenix have allowed CodeSandbox to grow and move quickly with a very small team of #backend developers. The overall aim of this talk is to introduce otherwise experienced #developers to a language and ecosystem they are not yet familiar with, and hopefully inspire them to give Elixr and Phoenix a try for their next project. #devworldconference #devworld #futurism #technology #amsterdamconference #conference #amsterdam

The OpenJDK has reached a milestone with the announcement of the Early Access (EA) build for Project Leyden, which is now available for download. This build represents over a year of development efforts aimed at enhancing Java application performance, particularly focusing on start-up times. The preliminary testing has shown impressive results, with popular application frameworks experiencing a 2-3x improvement in start-up times. https://lnkd.in/gCyBdKJS #Development #ArchitectureAndDesign #JDK24 #Startup #Java #Performance #Optimization #ProjectLeyden #OpenJDK

Mischa van den Burg,  your tweet is spot on about the future of the CNCF ecosystem and cloud-native tech. Thanks a lots . For those worried about AI taking jobs—fear not. The entire AIML workload relies heavily on Kubernetes, and there’s a long way to go before automation could replace all human roles. Many companies are still operating on VMs and gradually transitioning to Kubernetes. This ecosystem—CNCF, Kubernetes, and adjacent tech—is here to stay for at least the next decade. So, Rather you could be Relevant with these technologies.

In PyData Eindhoven definitely the building of trusted Generative AI applications is the main theme. Not only the building of Retrieval Augmented Generation pipelines is being discussed, but also, how to make them performant and traceable. A lot of the discussions made me remember some talks by Dr. Chris Hillman (Who you should definitely follow), and this article by our colleague Chetan Hirapara (Who you should also definitely follow). https://lnkd.in/g5JYrhHX

In the talk TDD & Generative AI: A Perfect Pairing?, Bouke Nijhuis will explore whether generative AI can create production-ready code simply by using pre-written test cases. With live coding, Bouke will demonstrate how this combination of Test-Driven Development (TDD) and AI could revolutionize your development process and make code creation more efficient. Join us to learn how you can apply this exciting technique to your own projects! https://buff.ly/41qPR62 #Jfokus2025 #AI #GenerativeAI #TDD #LiveCoding #DevParadigms

🤩 The RevenueCat SDK for Kotlin Multiplatform has reached its stable v1 release! It started as an independent project, KobanKat, by Joop Korteweg, who now shares the key decisions behind building it. Decisions such as: 1️⃣ Choosing a top-down architecture The main decision we had to make was around the architecture. While Kotlin Multiplatform (KMP) SDKs are often built bottom-up, our existing cross-platform SDKs follow a top-down approach. To maintain consistency, we chose to build the KMP SDK top-down as well — and thanks to KMP’s flexibility, this approach worked well. 2️⃣ Opting for wrappers over type aliases Initially, KobanKat used type aliases for accessing platform-specific implementations. However, this exposed platform SDKs to the app’s platform source sets, which could lead to breaking changes. To avoid this, we switched to wrappers, allowing for future improvements without disrupting the public API. The Kotlin Multiplatform SDK has everything you need to start earning revenue with your KMP app — and then some. For example, the KMP SDK also supports Paywalls! Learn more about what went into building our Kotlin Multiplatform SDK in this blog: https://lnkd.in/egNT_pWs Reposted from: https://lnkd.in/gmmyfdAM --- Want to see more posts like this?

I have a couple of questions (if you are aware of how this was implemented) regarding the reward function design: - How is the reward function in the RL model formulated to balance profitability and risk? and - Does the reward function incorporate long-term strategy over short-term gains?

In this post, Laura explains how we: ✔️ Indexed data with Bytewax to handle dynamic, large-scale datasets efficiently. ✔️ Used Haystack to implement embedding-based retrieval for fast and accurate results. ✔️ Leveraged FastAPI to design responsive, queryable endpoints that ensure low latency under heavy workloads. The blog also covers challenges like efficiently indexing large datasets, ensuring low-latency retrieval, and scaling to meet variable workloads. Through a real-world case study, you’ll see how these tools come together in a framework that delivers relevance and performance in real time. 📖 Full blog: https://lnkd.in/edrFTsJf
