This latest episode as part of the HPCC Systems Platform team podcast mini-series features Krishna Turlapathi, Director Software Engineering, LexisNexis Risk Solutions Group, and Ken Rowland, Consulting Software Engineer, LexisNexis Risk Solutions Group. Our host, Flavio Villanustre, VP Technology & CISO, LexisNexis Risk Solutions Group begins with Ken, who shares how he got started with the company and the platform. One of the primary features Ken contributed was geo-fencing technology to better understand data within certain boundaries, and using ECL to make sense of that data. Krishna started with the company over a decade ago working very closely on the ROXIE component of HPCC Systems, which then was in its infancy stage prior to making it available to the open source community. Once that happened, Krishna’s main responsibility was migrating the legacy code to the open source version. His deep knowledge of ECL helped the team build the customizations needed to support all the products leveraging the platform.

Fast forward to current events, the big focus is the move to the cloud aligning with the next major 8.0 release. Ken explains there are many different metrics needed comparing the bare metal version to a cloud native environment. The need to accommodate more customization and enhanced metrics are key in order to diagnose certain aspects of the platform. In that regard, Ken is working on building a new metric system that allows different backend systems to plug in for better reporting. Krishna continues his work on ROXIE, making sure all the new features are up to standards for optimum performance. He explains the move to the cloud with 8.0 is a perfect fit with better efficiency.

Listen to the full episode to hear the latest they are working on with metrics, configuration tools and all the ECL development efforts underway to support the cloud and new 8.0 version.
