Dropping ACID - Building Scalable Systems That WorkChris Patterson
油
The document summarizes key concepts for building scalable systems that work, including:
- Scalability is the ability to handle growth without failure by expanding capacity through techniques like scaling out by partitioning functionality or data.
- Availability refers to a system that is always operational and accessible. Distributed systems aim for partial availability even if some components fail.
- Consistency models have evolved from strict ACID transactions to eventual consistency, relaxing temporal consistency to improve availability in distributed systems. Eventual consistency makes consistency windows explicit.
- Protocols are needed for coordinating transactions across functional partitions using approaches like sagas to orchestrate commands and handle compensations. Durable messaging supports eventual consistency. Idempotent commands allow commands to beDesign patterns in distributed system
Design patterns in distributed systemTom Huynh
油
This document summarizes key concepts in distributed systems including:
The CAP theorem states that a distributed system can only guarantee two of three properties: consistency, availability, and partition tolerance.
Fallacies of distributed systems include assuming the network is reliable with zero latency and infinite bandwidth, that the topology does not change, and there is a single administrator.
The document discusses patterns like CQRS which separates commands from queries, event sourcing which stores an entire stream of events, and publisher/subscriber which allows applications to send messages to interested receivers without knowing their identities.
It provides an overview of an agenda covering distributed system definitions, CAP theorem, design problems and solutions, and demonstrates a pub/sub pattern inWorkflow Systems: Myths, Truths and Wishful Thinking

1) The document discusses myths, truths, and wishful thinking around workflow systems. It addresses 5 common myths: that visual tools are the only way to do workflow; workflow should run all application logic; domain experts can easily change workflows at runtime; declarative development is always easier than traditional development; and simple workflows can be built in 100 lines of code.
2) For each myth, it provides a counterargument or "truth". For example, many code-first solutions offer workflow benefits without steep learning curves. Workflow is best for long-running or complex processes, not all logic. Changing workflows at runtime requires diligence. Declarative development has tradeoffs compared to traditional approaches. Simple workflows can unravel with complexity.09 workflow

The document discusses transaction processing and workflow management. It defines workflow as long-lived executions involving programs, databases, sensors and humans. It examines how transactional concepts like atomicity, consistency, isolation and durability apply at different levels in a workflow system. Transaction processing can be used at the workflow engine level and step level, but compensation and invariants are needed to define correctness at the long-lived script level. Resource managers and persistent storage need extensions to support the transactional needs of workflow systems.Wwf

Finding a specific car online can be a time-consuming task, especially when checking multiple dealer websites. A few years ago, I faced this exact problem while searching for a particular vehicle in New Zealand. The local classified platform, Trade Me (similar to eBay), wasnt yielding any results, so I expanded my search to second-hand dealer sitesonly to realise that periodically checking each one was going to be tedious. Thats when I noticed something interesting: many of these websites used the same platform to manage their inventories. Recognising this, I reverse-engineered the platforms structure and built an FME workspace that automated the search process for me. By integrating API calls and setting up periodic checks, I received real-time email alerts when matching cars were listed. In this presentation, Ill walk through how I used FME to save hours of manual searching by creating a custom car-finding automation system. While FME cant buy a car for youyetit can certainly help you find the one youre after!Enabling BIM / GIS integrations with Other Systems with FME

Jacobs has successfully utilized FME to tackle the complexities of integrating diverse data sources in a confidential $1 billion campus improvement project. The project aimed to create a comprehensive digital twin by merging Building Information Modeling (BIM) data, Construction Operations Building Information Exchange (COBie) data, and various other data sources into a unified Geographic Information System (GIS) platform. The challenge lay in the disparate nature of these data sources, which were siloed and incompatible with each other, hindering efficient data management and decision-making processes.
To address this, Jacobs leveraged FME to automate the extraction, transformation, and loading (ETL) of data between ArcGIS Indoors and IBM Maximo. This process ensured accurate transfer of maintainable asset and work order data, creating a comprehensive 2D and 3D representation of the campus for Facility Management. FME's server capabilities enabled real-time updates and synchronization between ArcGIS Indoors and Maximo, facilitating automatic updates of asset information and work orders. Additionally, Survey123 forms allowed field personnel to capture and submit data directly from their mobile devices, triggering FME workflows via webhooks for real-time data updates. This seamless integration has significantly enhanced data management, improved decision-making processes, and ensured data consistency across the project lifecycle.Enhance GitHub Copilot using MCP - Enterprise version.pdf

Russia is one of the most aggressive nations when it comes to state coordinated cyberattacksand Ukraine has been at the center of their crosshairs for 3 years. This report, provided the State Service of Special Communications and Information Protection of Ukraine contains an incredible amount of cybersecurity insights, showcasing the coordinated aggressive cyberwarfare campaigns of Russia against Ukraine.
It brings to the forefront that understanding your adversary, especially an aggressive nation state, is important for cyber defense. Knowing their motivations, capabilities, and tactics becomes an advantage when allocating resources for maximum impact.
Intelligence shows Russia is on a cyber rampage, leveraging FSB, SVR, and GRU resources to professionally target Ukraines critical infrastructures, military, and international diplomacy support efforts.
The number of total incidents against Ukraine, originating from Russia, has steadily increased from 1350 in 2021 to 4315 in 2024, but the number of actual critical incidents has been managed down from a high of 1048 in 2022 to a mere 59 in 2024showcasing how the rapid detection and response to cyberattacks has been impacted by Ukraines improved cyber resilience.
Even against a much larger adversary, Ukraine is showcasing outstanding cybersecurity, enabled by strong strategies and sound tactics. There are lessons to learn for any enterprise that could potentially be targeted by aggressive nation states.

Utilities and water companies play a key role in the creation of clean drinking water. The creation and maintenance of clean drinking water is becoming a critical problem due to pollution and pressure on the environment. A lot of data is necessary to create clean drinking water. For fieldworkers, two types of data are key: Asset data in an asset management system (EAM for example) and Geographic data in a GIS (ArcGIS Utility Network ). Keeping this type of data up to date and in sync is a challenge for many organizations, leading to duplicating data and creating a bulk of extra attributes and data to keep everything in sync. Using FME, it is possible to synchronize Enterprise Asset Management (EAM) data with the ArcGIS Utility Network in real time. Changes (creation, modification, deletion) in ArcGIS Pro are relayed to EAM via FME, and vice versa. This ensures continuous synchronization of both systems without daily bulk updates, minimizes risks, and seamlessly integrates with ArcGIS Utility Network services. This presentation focuses on the use of FME at a Dutch water company, to create a sync between the asset management and GIS.FME for Distribution & Transmission Integrity Management Program (DIMP & TIMP)

Peoples Gas in Chicago, IL has changed to a new Distribution & Transmission Integrity Management Program (DIMP & TIMP) software provider in recent years. In order to successfully deploy the new software we have created a series of ETL processes using FME Form to transform our gas facility data to meet the required DIMP & TIMP data specifications. This presentation will provide an overview of how we used FME to transform data from ESRIs Utility Network and several other internal and external sources to meet the strict data specifications for the DIMP and TIMP software solutions.Key Requirements to Successfully Implement Generative AI in Edge DevicesOpt...

Gordon Cooper, Principal Product Manager at Synopsys, presents the Key Requirements to Successfully Implement Generative AI in Edge DevicesOptimized Mapping to the Enhanced NPX6 Neural Processing Unit IP tutorial at the May 2025 Embedded Vision Summit.
In this talk, Cooper discusses emerging trends in generative AI for edge devices and the key role of transformer-based neural networks. He reviews the distinct attributes of transformers, their advantages over conventional convolutional neural networks and how they enable generative AI.
Cooper then covers key requirements that must be met for neural processing units (NPU) to support transformers and generative AI in edge device applications. He uses transformer-based generative AI examples to illustrate the efficient mapping of these workloads onto the enhanced Synopsys ARC NPX NPU IP family.From Enterprise to Makers: Driving Vision AI Innovation at the Extreme Edge,...

- 17. A workflow is a depiction of a sequence of operations, declared as work of a person, a group of persons, an organization of staff, or one or more simple or complex mechanisms. Workflow may be seen as any abstraction of real work, segregated in workshare, work split or other types of ordering. For control purposes, workflow may be a view on real work under a chosen aspect, thus serving as a virtual representation of actual work. The flow being described often refers to a document that is being transferred from one step to another. from http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WorkflowWorkflow: The Cure for Insomnia Definition

Editor's Notes
- #15: We associate workflow not with what it does, or its value but with tools that label themselves as WorkflowExpensive BPM suitesWindows Workflow Foundation
- #20: abstraction of real work describes all software"coodination of work describes every system Which might be why so much can "sound like workflow" if you let it
- #21: These are the problems Workflow is trying to solve? The reason systems like this exist
- #22: When humans are key to the process, and time between steps cannot be measured, Workflow systems are needed.This is why CM/Document Approval processes are so often used around WF systems. Human involvement is key in the process.
- #23: "coordination of RESUMABLE work" Needs to allow the system to run for an indeterminate amount of time To be responsive and reactive, instead of proactive
- #31: Though not necessarily visual. Even though visual is usually stated
- #32: "Coordination of (long-running) work" is more than a problem solved just by workflowBack to Ruby statemachine does it fit?
- #35: A well traveled fable claims the Cyclops made a deal with Hades in which they traded an eye for the ability to see the future. Upholding his end of the bargain, Hades removed an eye and allowed the cyclops to foretell the day of their death.- http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CyclopsTell the story of the trouble devs had working with WF 3.5 workflows to make minor changes
- #36: Show off WebMatrix and Silicon Bakery siteShow OrderProcessor WFFlowchartActivitiesShow Baker WFShow Code-only Baker WFShow Workflow Service
- #38: Quickly-changing aspects of the system Design workflows so that Activities change the most, flows themselves change the least The over-arching process should be stable Steps in that process change the most Or even rules within those steps Visualization => Flows (most stable) => Activities (changing) => Rules (most fluid)
