CLOSEIT BLOG
In the heart of amazing software development, in the city Brno, we launched a blog to share our thoughts.
Validating and generating Atlassian JWT
When developing a plugin to cloud Jira, a usual need is to communicate with the Jira using REST API. The authentication is done using JWT and We will describe the complete implementation in this blog post.
MGS integration with antivirus
A security audit of our customer raised the topic of antivirus scanning. So how do we solve it? There are too many options on how to integrate antivirus to the MGS. We also made a fully functional proof of concept using the open source antivirus ClamAV.
Unreachable data in your model inventory? - Introducing the Reporting module
The MGS team is introducing the reporting module enabling direct connection with tools like PowerBI, Tableau or even MS Excel.
Flattening Docker images
Docker images are like onions or orges and it can sometimes be a problem. Especially with VFS storage, where each layer is represented as a full filesystem. We present several ways how to squash multiple image layers to one.
Caching frontend web application
As more and more web applications live on the client computer, it’s harder to update them right when you want. One of the solutions is to change resource file names after every update. Webpack can make this process straightforward.
Audit trail handling with MongoDB
This blog presents an example case, how an audit trail can be implemented with the MongoDB database. In fact, we implemented exactly this system in one of our older projects CRM.
Proof the feature works
There are many ways how to make sure the implemented software feature works. But sometimes, you need proof not only for yourself but also for your customer. What if the customer could monitor application functions?
Solving the Unirest JSON parsing problem on Databricks
Parsing Unirest response to JsonNode can lead to parsing error on Databricks if the top-level JSON structure is an array. We propose a workaround solution, which works best in custom Java libraries.
Black Friday ready real-time analytics
E-commerce platforms like Shopify contain their reporting dashboards which cover tons of figures generated by the shop, but it might not be sufficient for all architectures. We looked at the case when a customer wants to achieve real time analytics scaling seamlessly for peak periods like Black Friday.
MGS to Databricks connector
The MGS team is now introducing a connector between MGS and Databricks. Teams governing the firm’s portfolio in MGS - definitely not only ML/AI models - get access to the details of model development and monitoring right at their fingertips. Teams using the Databricks platform can write code interacting with the inventory.
Is Databricks good for complex applications?
Can we use the Databricks as a runtime platform for complex applications using the standard development model with git, deployment pipelines and several independent modules / services?
Automated risk model operations at scale
The MRM methodology is relatively well-defined, including the concept of model monitoring for particular model types. But how can we take these mostly manual procedures and deploy them at scale for the entire portfolio?
