TALK ABSTRACTS
===================
FEATURE TALK: Sparking More Meetups with ML
Speaker: Shayak Banerjee, Machine Learning Team @Meetup
Meetup is a platform for people to connect in-real-life around shared interests. Meetup organizers and members are both central to that experience. Part of our challenge is to match a newly formed group with its relevant audience so as to build its initial critical mass. Meetup has been using Machine Learning to enable this connection for years now, via the new group announcement (NGA) email. In this talk, we’ll look at how the infrastructure for performing this task has been revamped over the past year. From a logistic regression model which computed all features in-memory and consumed 150GB+ of heap, we journeyed into the world of batch / distributed processing. We’ll describe how we migrated to use Apache Spark running on Dataproc clusters to enable calculating a much richer set of features, which is then used by gradient-boosted trees to score member-group pairs. We'll show how this gave us a 30% increase in members joining groups! We’ll also talk about how our batch jobs are orchestrated using Airflow and monitored using Datadog and Cloudwatch. We’ll end with a look at the problems we incurred with “bedding-in” this system, such as latency and optimizing workloads.
With 3 million members and growing, and more than 500 new groups being formed every day across the world, we see this as the infrastructure that will allow us to scale to “Spark"ing more Meetups, more connections and more change.

IO18 TALK / WEB: Alternative Architectures for your PWA
Speaker: Jeff Posnick (Chrome Developer Relations Team @Google)
Building a Progressive Web App (PWA) doesn't mean building a single page app! This session will deep-dive into alternative architectures for content-focused PWAs, and help you make the right decision for your specific use case. You'll also get insights on how the Workbox project provides developers with an easy path towards using the web platform features that provide the foundation for these architectures.
