“🇮🇱 How to kill your PySpark performance with these simple tricks” Alon Nisser · Regular Talk (20 minutes)
The talk would start with explaining what spark is. what problems it solves, and why you might want to use it. Then I'll describe common anti patterns, especially with the data engineering/science related code. and what you should probably do instead
“🇮🇱 Date for two: Server, Client, and Datetime in a Multi-timezone environment” Shai Cohen · Regular Talk (20 minutes)
Datetime in your DB is easy when your app is local, but what if one client writes in USA and another reads from France? We’ll see some challenges in adding time constraints to a global app and suggest the aviation industry methodology to solve them.
“🇺🇸 Fun With ASTs” Shai Rubin · Regular Talk (20 minutes)
This talk will delve into the AST module's capabilities and limitations, covering its class hierarchy, general structure, and supported functions. Attendees will be presented with examples of cool code manipulations based on AST.
“🇮🇱 Fixing a CVE In the Open: redis-py, chatgpt, and open source bug hunting” Chayim Kirshen · Deep dive talk (45 minutes)
In March, OpenAI discovered a vulnerability in redis-py, leading to potential data exposure. This is the inside story of the vulnerability: learn how it was solved, addressed, and fixed - in an open source community.
“🇮🇱 Faster code for global scale -- Mobileye HD mapping the world” Pini Reisman · Regular Talk (20 minutes)
Maintaining world scale HD maps requires massive compute jobs. We use PySpark and python to map the world, making it performant and cost efficient - as you must at such scale. A glimpse on how we develop and optimize algorithmic code in Mobileye REM
“🇮🇱 Building Authorization with Python: Dos and Don’ts” Gabriel L. Manor · Regular Talk (20 minutes)
This talk will provide best practices for building authorization with Python. To do so, he will show how to use existing tools in the ecosystem: OPA, OSO, OPAL, Zanzibar and others.
“🇮🇱 Build Systems, Package Managers, pyproject.toml and you - how to work with Python in 2023” Jonathan Daniel · Regular Talk (20 minutes)
Dependency management, virtual environments, publishing packages - all of these activities are a part of daily life when working with Python, but are too often high friction and fragile. Recent advancements make the situation much better.
