Cost efficient alternative to databricks lock-in
Cost efficient alternative to databricks lock-in

Spark-based data PaaS solutions are convenient. But they come with their own set of challenges such as a high vendor lock-in and obscured costs. We show how to use a dedicated orchestrator ([dagster-pipes](https://docs.dagster.io/guides/dagster-pipes)). It can not only make Databricks an implementation detail but also save cost. Also, it improves developer productivity. It allows you to take back control.

Governance and pipelines in the modern data stack

The data orchestrator is at the heart of the data pipelines. We start by exploring how a modern data orchestrator drastically eases the development of pipelines. Then we will see how govanance can be conducted efficiently in a MDS-based setup.

AI basierte Root Cause Analyse von CPD Störquellen in Docsis Netzen
AI basierte Root Cause Analyse von CPD Störquellen in Docsis Netzen

Good quality network connectivity is ever more important. For hybrid fiber coaxial (HFC) networks, searching for upstream \emph{high noise} in the past was cumbersome and time-consuming. Even with machine learning due to the heterogeneity of the network and its topological structure, the task remains challenging. We present the automation of a simple business rule (largest change of a specific value) and compare its performance with state-of-the-art machine-learning methods and conclude that the precision@1 can be improved by 2.3 times. As it is best when a fault does not occur in the first place, we secondly evaluate multiple approaches to forecast network faults, which would allow performing predictive maintenance on the network.
