How to Compute Without Looking: A Sneak Peek into Secure Multi-Party Computation

This article shows how you can compute a function across multiple parties that do not trust each other without forcing them to share their individual inputs. This technique can be used to split secrets among parties, perform logical operations, or count votes in a way that ensures data privacy is preserved.

OpenSearch Cluster Topologies for Cost Saving Autoscaling

Amitai Stern discusses cost-saving autoscaling topologies for OpenSearch. He explains the inherent challenges in autoscaling unstructured data systems like OpenSearch and Elasticsearch, using analogies to illustrate the complexities beyond simply adding nodes. He shares architectural patterns (burst indexes, burst clusters) to optimize resource utilization and handle fluctuating loads effectively.
