Lex chats with Harish Natarajan - Practice Manager, Financial Inclusion and Infrastructure, Finance, Competitiveness & Innovation at the World Bank, and Carlos Brandt - The Senior Advisor for Pix at the Central Bank of Brazil. Together they discuss the remarkable success of Pix, Brazil's real-time payment system, which now sees over 6 billion transactions per month and is used by more than 90% of the adult population and 80% of companies. Lex explores how Pix was created by the Central Bank of Brazil with strong public-private collaboration, backed by regulatory authority and supported by a co-creation model with stakeholders. Key to its adoption were a low-cost centralized infrastructure, clear branding, mandatory participation by large banks, and a robust national communication strategy. Globally, Pix is seen as a leading example of fast payment system deployment, driven by the central bank acting as a neutral coordinator and scheme owner. Lex also examines the technical architecture, built in-house by a surprisingly small team of 55–65 people, and how scalable infrastructure and extensibility have enabled rapid growth and innovation. NOTABLE DISCUSSION POINTS: 1. Pix achieved mass adoption through public-private co-creation and legal mandate:Pix now processes over 6 billion transactions per month, with 90% of Brazil's adult population and 80% of businesses actively using it. Its success stems from a strategic legal mandate in 2013 granting the Central Bank regulatory and operational authority over retail payments. The Central Bank then led a co-creation process involving both public and private stakeholders through the Pix Forum, fostering alignment, inclusivity, and strong network effects.2. A lean but powerful team built a nation-scale real-time payments system:The Pix infrastructure was built entirely in-house by a relatively small team, 30-40 people for the technical infrastructure layer and around 25 for the payment scheme layer. It operates 24/7 with real-time settlement and uses centralized infrastructure separate from Brazil's traditional large-value payment rails. This centralized, purpose-built architecture dramatically lowered costs and enabled rapid rollout.3. Strategic communication and mandated participation drove adoption at scale:The Central Bank led a national communication campaign to build trust, establish a strong brand identity, and educate the public. Simultaneously, it mandated major banks (with over 500,000 active accounts) to join Pix, triggering widespread voluntary adoption from smaller PSPs. The rollout included a restricted pilot phase and emphasized user-friendly features like QR codes and aliases to boost convenience and usage from day one.

Few concepts are more important to our society than resilience. Agnostic of domain, of nation, culture, and scale (as vital, indeed, to the individual life as to the planetary civilization), it would be impossible to overstate the pressure on us to understand it. If resilience is a core competency of our time, it would not be hyperbole to say that Dr. David Woods one of our most important thinkers.

In today's piece, we're taking a closer look at Halliday, a project that's working to simplify and automate one of the most crucial yet complex aspects of DeFi—commerce across multiple chains. Led by Griffin Dunaif, Halliday is focused on building the infrastructure that enables seamless value exchange between different blockchain networks, tackling the challenge of automating asset transfers, on-ramping fiat, and bridging the gaps between L1s, L2s, and L3s. Commerce Automation is rooted in the idea that digital spaces—much like cities—require a balance of culture and commerce to thrive. While the blockchain world has no shortage of vibrant communities, the infrastructure to support efficient, automated transactions across chains is still in its early stages. Halliday is stepping in to address this gap by automating these processes, making it easier to transfer assets, manage liquidity, and integrate fiat into onchain systems. One of the key highlights from Griffin's vision is multi-chain expansion. With the number of blockchains set to grow exponentially, Halliday is preparing for a future with millions of interconnected chains. The focus here isn't just on basic interoperability but on automating complex, multi-hop transaction workflows—think of going from fiat to a stablecoin on an L1, bridging to an L2, and then settling on an L3. Halliday aims to make this process seamless and automated, allowing users and developers to interact with different ecosystems without the usual technical complexities. As they gear up for their protocol release in 2025, Halliday is positioning itself to be a crucial player in the evolving landscape of multi-chain commerce, driving the next phase of DeFi growth.

As companies grow through acquisitions mistakes will be made. When those mistakes happen both current and new team members should have the opportunity to see leadership shine. That's a belief of Michael Bratsafolis, Senior Director, Strategy and Operations & Head of M&A Integration at Twilio, and one that he shared with host Sagi Eliyahu on this episode of Modern Business Operations. Indeed, Michael goes so far as to make his errors visible so that new team members feel safe making mistakes and see that leadership doesn't try to hide them. Michael and Sagi also discuss: - the importance of building extensibility as the company grows - how to create an environment of inclusivity of thought - How culture evolves in fast-growth situations When Michael joined Twilio they had 300 people and now they are coming up on 8,000 so he's had to learn everything he's sharing through experience.

Brands using WordPress for their ecommerce stores value the breadth of customization and flexibility available to them. With WordPress, merchants can add plugins or make major or minor changes to the source code to create unique, product-first shopping experiences. The tens of thousands of plugins offered to brands on WordPress gives them the ability to layer best-in-breed integrations to meet their needs, whether complex or simple. If there's any area of an online store that can take advantage of high-performance technology, it's the checkout area. Fast-moving retailers should seek to innovate their checkout technology, especially when they learn cart abandonment rates can be as high as 78% and checkout abandonment rates at 48% for desktop and 58% for mobile, according to The Checkout Benchmark. In the checkout, a plugin-rich environment creates a new set of challenges. Too many plugins that often are incompatible with each other can slow down performance. Plugins can introduce security vulnerabilities if maintenance is not done regularly by developers This can give rise to further complexity: A big cache of plugins often results in a lack of support and difficulty in establishing a clear roadmap for functionality. Ensuring the checkout process is fine-tuned for the shopper experience should be a priority for brands. After all, customers expect frictionless end-to-end shopping journeys, and brands want to do as much as they can to help smooth out any bumps on that road. That's where Bold's Checkout Experience Suite comes in. As a checkout leader for ecommerce brands, Bold is fully in sync with the needs of brands operating on WordPress. As the world's most popular content management system powering 34% of all websites, with more than 500 websites being built each day on the CMS, WordPress benefits from plugins that deliver results to their passionate customers. Integrated with WordPress, Bold Checkout's API-first architecture allows enterprise brands to design a completely customized, flexible checkout or run with a wide range of out-of-the-box features. It can also help integrate easily with an ecosystem of leading technologies and best-in-breed partners. Levelling up your site performance Customizing the checkout experience has long been associated with benefits, such as increased conversion and stronger brand loyalty. When enterprise brands address their dynamic business requirements — such as BOPIS, complex pricing, and subscriptions— customization and flexibility are two key ingredients for successful checkout experiences. Bold Checkout is a single, lean plugin built to withstand high traffic volumes and boost site speed while protecting against 30% of potential lost revenue.

MLOps Coffee Sessions #103 with Corey Zumar, MLOps Podcast on Making MLflow co-hosted by Mihail Eric. // Abstract Because MLOps is a broad ecosystem of rapidly evolving tools and techniques, it creates several requirements and challenges for platform developers: - To serve the needs of many practitioners and organizations, it's important for MLOps platforms to support a variety of tools in the ecosystem. This necessitates extra scrutiny when designing APIs, as well as rigorous testing strategies to ensure compatibility. - Extensibility to new tools and frameworks is a must, but it's important not to sacrifice maintainability. MLflow Plugins (https://www.mlflow.org/docs/latest/plugins.html) is a great example of striking this balance. - Open source is a great space for MLOps platforms to flourish. MLflow's growth has been heavily aided by: 1. meaningful feedback from a community of ML practitioners with a wide range of use cases and workflows & 2. collaboration with industry experts from a variety of organizations to co-develop APIs that are becoming standards in the MLOps space. // Bio Corey Zumar is a software engineer at Databricks, where he's spent the last four years working on machine learning infrastructure and APIs for the machine learning lifecycle, including model management and production deployment. Corey is an active developer of MLflow. He holds a master's degree in computer science from UC Berkeley. // MLOps Jobs board https://mlops.pallet.xyz/jobs MLOps Swag/Merch https://www.printful.com/ // Related Links --------------- ✌️Connect With Us ✌️ ------------- Join our slack community: https://go.mlops.community/slack Follow us on Twitter: @mlopscommunity Sign up for the next meetup: https://go.mlops.community/register Catch all episodes, blogs, newsletters, and more: https://mlops.community/ Connect with Demetrios on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/dpbrinkm/ Connect with Mihail on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/mihaileric/ Connect with Corey on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/corey-zumar/ Timestamps: [00:00] Origin story of MLFlow [02:12] Spark as a big player [03:12] Key insights [04:42] Core abstractions and principles on MLFlow's success [07:08] Product development with open-source [09:29] Fine line between competing principles [11:53] Shameless way to pursue collaboration [12:24] Right go-to-market open-source [16:27] Vanity metrics [18:57] First gate of MLOps drug [22:11] Project fundamentals [24:29] Through the pillars [26:14] Best in breed or one tool to rule them all [29:16] MLOps space mature with the MLOps tool [30:49] Ultimate vision for MLFlow [33:56] Alignment of end-users and business values [38:11] Adding a project abstraction separate from the current ML project [42:03] Implementing bigger bets in certain directions [44:54] Log in features to experiment page [45:46] Challenge when operationalizing MLFlow in their stack [48:34] What would you work on if it weren't MLFlow?

Bill Higgins is Director of Watson Research and Development at IBM. He leads the integrated research and development team responsible for evolving the foundational IBM AI technologies powering their main products and systems. He's especially interested in the intersection of culture in tech as it relates to increasing diverse representation and technical leadership. Bill joins Barry O'Reilly in this week's show to discuss what is needed to innovate at scale. Bill's Start Bill shares how he started in DevOps and made his way to becoming a leader in software engineering. He had always worked on software products, but after a certain point, he became disenchanted with the process of building the products, especially as it related to the methods and tools involved. He thought it could be much better than it was. In the early 2010s, he became enamored with the DevOps movement and sought to drive a DevOps culture at IBM; he was quite successful at this. His team was one of the first to be sent to the IBM design camp for product teams. He describes the experience and how it impacted his career. Deterministic vs. Probabilistic Barry recalls how Bill shaped his perception of AI. “I still remember… being blown away by the clarity of how [Bill's colleagues] could talk about it. I got smarter just listening to them, and so many of the notions I had of what AI could do were blown away very quickly,” Barry says. Bill responds that he realized that the field of AI is a very different paradigm from traditional programming; the latter is largely about methodically defining a set of rules to create a deterministic program. AI is the opposite, by contrast; using the example of machine learning, Bill describes how AI is probabilistic by nature. AI Through the Years Bill and Barry explore the history and development of AI, and IBM's role in both. “There was this really famous conference at Dartmouth University in 1956 with some of the legends of the industry… that established AI as a field of study. They adopted the term artificial intelligence as opposed to one of the competing terms like cybernetics,” Bill remarks. Throughout the '60s and '70s, the fundamental parts of modern AI technology - neural networks, the concept of machine learning, natural language, and speech processing - broke through, but the industry would still be considered a field of research not fit for real enterprise use up until circa 2011. Teamwork Makes the AI Work To achieve something great with AI, you must have equally great AI algorithms made by people waist-deep in machine learning, Bill explains. They must understand the whole lifecycle of machine learning, make their algorithms available via understandable developer APIs, and run it at an internet scale. One of the biggest mistakes companies make is primarily investing millions of dollars in hiring scholars with degrees in machine learning from reputable institutions. You need both machine learning people to create the algorithm, but you also need the software developers to create the APIs and internet scale architectures. Building Great AI Innovators face two hard problems when creating foundational AI components, Bill tells Barry. “The first one is that fusion, that synthesis of really excellent machine learning, algorithm creation and excellent software development for both creating the APIs but also creating the internet scale architectures… Number two is how do you create an innovation pipeline.” IBM's experience has been that innovation is difficult to commercialize quickly and at scale. They found that a modular architecture helps them to add new components more readily. Extensibility is another key principle. He and Barry agree that good collaboration and composability are two additional major aspects of a good innovation pipeline. Find full show notes a Barry O'Reilly.
