We were only in the first week of the month-long billing period for our client’s AWS account. Already, it showed that they had exceeded the free-tier limit for SQS and had nearly exceeded it for CloudWatch too (approximately 85 per cent used). This is puzzling, because we hadn't run any data downloads for the client at all.

Many small and medium-sized businesses have yet to move past the concept of break-fix—only paying an IT company to fix things when they break. They don’t fully appreciate the value of the proactive approach that is managed services.

As discussed in our previous post, we recently had the opportunity to present some interesting challenges and proposed directions for data science and machine learning (ML) at the 2018 Scale By the Bay conference. While the excellent talks and panels at the conference were too numerous to cover here, I wanted to briefly summarize three talks in particular that I found to represent some really interesting (to me) directions for ML on the java virtual machine (JVM).
