Feed: Planet MySQL; Author: Vitess; Previously posted on link at Nov 3, 2020.Traditionally, MySQL has been used to power most of the backend services at Bolt. We’ve designed our schemas in a way that they’re sharded into different MySQL clusters.

Feed: AWS Big Data Blog. The machine learning (ML) lifecycle consists of several key phases: data collection, data preparation, feature engineering, model training, model evaluation, and model deployment. The data preparation and feature engineering phases ensure an ML model is given high-quality data that is relevant to the model’s purpose.

Additionally, producing well-prepared training datasets has typically required extensive knowledge ... Read More
