Containers 101 meetup talk recording posted here- https://codefresh.io/blog/containers-101-meetup-docker-accelerates-continuous-development/ Shimon Tolts, General Manager/ CTO of Data Solutions at ironSouce, joined us to talk about how they leverage Docker to simplify their workflow and deliver Big Data solutions to their customers faster. He shared their experience running Docker containers in production and how they took one of their base systems, considered "the backbone of the company," and transformed it using containers.

3. We needed a way to manage this data:
Our Business Challenge
ProcessCollect Store

5. Collection
● Multi region layer - Latency based routing
● Low latency from client to Atom servers
● High Availability - AWS regions does fail!
● Storing raw data + headers upon receiving

6. Data Enrichment
● Enrich data before storing in your Data Lake
and/or Warehouse
○ IP to Country
○ Currency conversion
○ Decrypt data
○ User Agent parsing - OS, Browser, Device...
● Any custom logic you would like! - fully
extendible

7. Data Targets
● Near real-time data insertion - 1 minute!
● Stream data to Google Storage and/or AWS S3
● Smart insertion of data into AWS Redshift
○ Set the amount of parallel copys
○ Configure priority on tables
● BigQuery - Streaming data using batch files
import (saves 20% cost)

9. Micro-Services Architecture
● Everything is a service
● Decoupling
● Distributed systems
Separate lifecycle
● Communication using RESTful /
Queue / Streams

10. Docker
● Linux Container
● Save provisioning time
● Infrastructure as code
● Dev-Test-Production - identical container
● Ship easily

11. Cloud infrastructure
● Pay as you go - (grow)
● SaaS services
● Auto-scaling-groups
● DynamoDB
● RDS *SQL
● Redshift data warehouse

12. Continuous Integration
● From commit to production
● Jenkins commit hook
● Git branching model
● AWS dynamic slaves
● Unit tests
● Docker builds
● Updating live environment
