Hari Prasad seeks spirituality in non-religious ways. He is an avid toastmaster and speaker-presenter on technical forums. He wants to share and learn from others, like questioning the status quo. In his words: “This is what I think about myself, I may be tangential to what I think I am.”

Talk Title:  ML-Based Data-Driven Software Development with InfluxDB 2.0

Hari Prasad was using InfluxDB for his personal weekend project as part of his hobby to map the water levels of lakes in his city, rainfall, evaporation index, etc.

His Eureka moment: Software development or any human activity flows with time. He started mapping software development with a time series DB and created an IoT within a software development tool. Before InfluxDB, developing a similar system required huge budget and maintenance efforts. With InfluxDB and its ecosystem, the quality cost & delivery were unbelievable. The Flux addition with 2.0 helped his team with the power of computing. They chose Flux over Python to determine mean, median, mode, and quantiles with Flux’s built-in functions. The talk shares the Templates, Flux queries, Scraper code with the open source community, all of which will be in GitHub where anyone can reference them.

The talk shows how quickly, reliably and cost-effectively you can do data-driven software development by writing custom code. It is so generic that all software development teams from small to large can benefit with little or no maintenance.
