Add ALL the Things - Abstract Algebra Meets Analytics

Explore the intersection of abstract algebra and analytics in this 38-minute conference talk from Strange Loop. Delve into how group theory laws provide a useful framework for building efficient distributed and real-time aggregation systems. Learn about abelian groups and their practical applications in analytics, with examples of how theoretical concepts translate into useful code. Discover insights on topics such as Statsd, Addifier, Max Properties, averages, unique values, average distance, and Account minsketch. Gain valuable knowledge from speaker Avi Bryant, a seasoned professional with experience leading teams at Stripe, Etsy, Twitter, and Dabble DB, known for his contributions to open-source projects like Seaside, Scalding, and Algebird.
