Apache CouchDB State Of The Union - Jan Lehnardt, ASF

This talk is an overview over the past 24-36 months of the CouchDB project. Join us on a riveting tour through a near-death experience and a phoenix from the ashes-like rebirth of the project as well as major technological improvements. You will learn where Apache CouchDB stands today and where it is, boldly, going.

With the departure of its lead developer and the abandonment of the project by the company founded by three of the original CouchDB developers, many felt that CouchDB is dying. This couldn’t be further from the truth and this talk explains what happened and how CouchDB is more alive than ever and has a bright future ahead of it!

Putting The C Back In CouchDB 2.0: Merging Bigcouch - Joan Touzet, Cloudant

Apache CouchDB - an acronym for Cluster Of Unreliable Commodity Hardware - is a database that uses JSON for documents, JavaScript for MapReduce indexes, and regular HTTP for its API. To date, individual servers support multi-master replication, but do not actually act as a server cluster. In this presentation, Joan Touzet will cover the recent merge of the BigCouch fork in advance of the release of CouchDB 2.0. This significant work enhances CouchDB with a native Erlang-based clustering mechanism, supporting high availability, database partitioning and DynamoDB-inspired enhanced read/write semantics. Special attention will be given to new functionality, operational considerations from Cloudant's experience running this code for years in production, upgrade scenarios for existing users and the exciting new Fauxton UI.

Particle Physics On The Couch: Using CouchDB To Help Unravel The Mysteries Of The Universe - Michael Marino, Echnische Universität München

Pushing the envelope of our understanding of the universe requires physics experiments that measure and analyze data from many disparate systems. Such systems generally have widely different requirements and architectures, making it difficult to implement a single, monolithic program for control and readout. CouchDB is an optimal tool to integrate and save data from such systems since its RESTful interface provides a minimal hurdle that almost all devices large and small can achieve. In this presentation, Mike Marino will describe how CouchDB is being used in the nEDM experiment at the Technische Universität München to integrate, control, view and save measurement data from many different subsystems, ranging from those powered by microcontrollers and mini PCs (Arduinos and Raspberry Pis) to those based on the industrial VMEbus.

CouchDB-Based System For The Users Data Management In Cms At Lhc: Implementation And Experience - Hassen Riahi, CERN

The Compact Muon Solenoid (CMS) users data management service at The Large Hadron Collider (LHC), named AsyncStageOut, manages more than 300k users' files per day of close to 1000 individual users per month with minimal delays, and providing a real time monitoring to users and service operators, while being highly available. The associated data volume represents a new set of challenges in the areas of database scalability and service performance and efficiency.
The service is designed as a thin application relying only on CouchDB as input and data storage. It has progressed from a limited prototype to a highly adaptable service, which manages and monitors the whole CMS user files steps.
In this presentation, Hassen Riahi will provide an overview of the AsyncStageOut model, present the motivations for using CouchDB, describe the deployment model and discuss the results achieved.

Effective Web Application Development With Apache Sling - Robert Munteanu, Adobe

Apache Sling is an innovative web framework built on top of the Java Content Repository (JCR), that uses OSGi for its component model and fosters RESTful application design.

This talk shows how Sling integrates various standard-based technologies, like OSGi and the Content Repository API for Java to create a coherent framework for web application development. We will walk through the development of a simple application with minimal effort and demonstrate how to productize the resulting application.

We will pay special attention to some approaches which are not yet part of mainstream development, such as using OSGi for dependecy injection and JCR for persistence.

Enabling IoT With Apache Etch And Coap - Giorgio Zoppi, Universitat Pompeu Fabra

The talk introduces the work that we have done about Apache Etch framework and shows the simple steps which have to be done to enable an application to be used as part of the Internet of the things with COAP Protocol.
It shows the features of Etch, such as fully bidirectional client to server communication, synchronous and asynchronous calls, data modelling, error handling and performance and its new binding with COAP as transport protocol. Adding this new protocol to Apache Etch enables its stack to communicate efficiently with Internet Web of Things in language neutral way. The Apache Ecosystem will benefit from those changes to Etch, because it will have a new way to implement network services for constrained resources network (i.e. wireless network or sensor networks).

OSGi Remote Services In A Microservices World - Marcel Offermans, Luminis Technologies

In a Microservices architecture applications get decomposed into functionally cohesive services that are implemented as separate processes that interact through the network using simple protocols. This allows applications to scale during deployment by distributing and replicating the services across compute resources as required.

However popular, common criticism includes the use of implicit and poorly defined interfaces, the fact that every component must implement remoting concerns and the fact that it introduces significant processing overhead as every service invocation traverses the network, even if the services are on the same box!

In this presentation we discuss how OSGi Remote Services can address these concerns in an OSGi context by providing the developer strongly typed services that may or may not actually be transparently remoted across a scaled-out deployment.
