When is the Onyx 0.11 party happening?!?!?!

@stephenmhopper beat me to the punch! 0.11 is out now 🙂 https://github.com/onyx-platform/onyx/blob/0.11.x/changes.md#0110

Hah - was just getting around to that. 🙂

Cue party hats.

Also, we have an official Onyx newsletter now?!?!?!

Things are getting pretty serious.

Good work, everybody!

Haha, its been a while since I sent one out.

Ha! Just saw the news letter myself

But yes.

Heck, we still have a mailing list.

No one seems to use those anymore though. 😛

lol

Hey, maybe a stupid question - currently setting up analytics infrastructure using DC/OS. It's giving me a little more trouble than I'd like it to. From the looks of it, Onyx fills the same niche (a simple dashboard UI for coordinating distributed compute jobs). Would it be reasonable to swap out DC/OS for Onyx, or is it a different use case? Thanks!

@mattgeb Hi! Not a stupid question at all. I don’t know much about DC/OS. What sort of jobs are you looking to create?

I think onyx complements dcos by adding data processing

I ran onyx on dcos for awhile

Is dcos basically Mesos-premium?

Yeah it's basically a nice layer on top of mesos

Ah, makes sense.

So, for instance, a big routing problem - given say 300 stores in a city, and employees bouncing back and forth between them, computing optimal routes between them (taking into account public transportation and the road network).

I don’t really know how that particular problem would be adequately expressed agnostic to any tool.

Ah, okay, so it can't replace DC/OS itself (as the thingy coordinating the cluster)?

I’d imagine you could model it as a streaming solution.

@mattgeb Nope, definitely can’t.

Onyx pairs nicely with Kubernetes.

Yeah i deployed onyx via marathon on dcos very similar to kubernetes

Related question: Would it let me essentially be able to use the JVM Big Data tools (Spark, Kafka, Hadoop & Friends) without having to learn Scala? =D

Nice!

Yes.

Aha, that's definitely good to hear! 🙂

One thing nice with dcos is it comes with a package for deploying Kafka and other datasources on mesos
