The Dark Side of AI – Part 2: Adversarial Attacks
Find out how AI may become an attack vector! Could an attacker use your models against your? Also, what’s the worst that could happen? Welcome to the domain of adversarial AI!
The Dark Side of AI – Part 1: Cyberattacks and Deepfakes
Introduction Who hasn’t seen a cinema production in which an AI-based robot threatens individual people or the entire human race? It is in the stars when or if such a technology can really be developed. With this series of blog entries we want to point out that AI does not need robots to cause damage.…
E-Health in Deutschland: Die neue Elektronische Patientenakte
Anfang 2021 soll die elektronische Patientenakte (ePA) starten. Damit wird es möglich sein, alle Gesundheitsdaten (Befunde, Diagnosen, Behandlungsmaßnahmen, Arztbriefe, etc.) zentral zu speichern. Patienten bekommen so einen zentralen Überblick über all ihre bei verschiedenen Ärzten erfassten Daten, und sind in der Lage, diese Informationen mit bestimmten Ärzten zu teilen. So wird der Datenaustausch zwischen Ärzten,…
Open Source Batch and Stream Processing: Realtime Analysis of Big Data
Abstract Since the beginning of Big Data, batch processing was the most popular choice for processing large amounts of generated data. These existing processing technologies are not suitable to process the large amount of data we face today. Research works developed a variety of technologies that focus on stream processing. Stream processing technologies bring significant…
Distributed stream processing frameworks – what they are and how they perform
An overview on stream processing, common frameworks as well as some insights on performance based on benchmarking data
Isolation and Consistency in Databases
by Samuel Hack and Sebastian Wachter. Most people assume that the data coming from a database is correct. For most applications this is true, but when the databases are used in systems where the database is at its limit, this is no longer always the case. What happens if during a query of a value…

Kubernetes: from Zero to Hero with Kompose, Minikube, k3sup and Helm — Part 2: Hands-On
This is part two of our series on how we designed and implemented a scalable, highly-available and fault-tolerant microservice-based Image Editor. This part depicts how we went from a basic Docker Compose setup to running our application on our own »bare-metal« Kubernetes cluster.
Kubernetes: from Zero to Hero with Kompose, Minikube, k3sup and Helm — Part 1: Design
This is part one of our series on how we designed and implemented a scalable, highly-available and fault-tolerant microservice-based Image Editor. The series covers the various design choices we made and the difficulties we faced during design and development of our system. It shows how we set up the scaling infrastructure with Kubernetes and what…
