Migrating a data warehouse from a legacy environment requires a massive upfront investment in resources and time. There is a lot to consider before and during migration. You may need to replan your data model, use a separate platform for tasks scheduling, and handle changes in the application’s database driver. Therefore, organizations must take a strategic approach to streamline the process. This article presents a step-by-step approach for migrating a data warehouse to the cloud.

Implementing a modern, cloud-based analytics stack doesn’t have to be hard — you can do it in three steps, actually. Implementing a modern data stack (MDS) — data integration tool, cloud data warehouse and business intelligence platform — is the best way to establish a successful analytics program as data sources and data volumes multiply.

Many in the community have been asking us to develop a new Kafka to S3 connector for some time. So we’re pleased to announce it's now available. It’s been designed to deliver a number of benefits over existing S3 connectors. Like our other Stream Reactors, the connector extends the standard connect config adding a parameter for a SQL command (Lenses Kafka Connect Query Language or “KCQL”). This defines how to map data from the source (in this case Kafka) to the target (S3).

In June, Snowflake announced the public preview of the external functions feature with support for calling external APIs via AWS API Gateway. With external functions, you can easily extend your data pipelines by calling out to external services, third-party libraries, or even your own custom logic, enabling exciting new use cases. For example, you can use external functions for external tokenization, geocoding, scoring data using pre-trained machine learning models, and much more.

Here at Cloudera, we’ve seen many large organizations struggle to meet ever-changing and ever-growing business demands. We see it everywhere. Traditional on-premise architectures, which create a fixed, finite set of resources, forces every business request for new insight to be a crazy resource balancing act, coupled with long wait times, or a straight-up no, it cannot be done.

Kong is excited to participate in Amazon Web Service’s (AWS) APN TV pilot program. This series of demonstration videos from AWS partners focuses on modern application development through the practice of DevOps – a perfect fit for Kong’s service connectivity platform. Microservice architecture involves building software as suites of collaborating services.

Understand the impact of data transfer and egress costs across Microsoft Azure, Amazon Web Services and Google Cloud Platform. One of the questions most frequently asked by cloud-savvy, price-aware customers goes something like this: OK, so we like that your tool makes it easy to integrate our cloud database and storage in our centralized data warehouse, but I know our budget will be scrutinized for total cost of ownership (TCO), including our data egress costs.

Cloud migration, also called “move to cloud,” is the process of moving existing data processing tasks to a cloud platform, such as Amazon Web Services (AWS), Microsoft Azure, or Google Cloud Platform. Private clouds and hybrid cloud solutions can also serve as destinations.

In cloud migration, also known as “move to cloud,” you move existing data processing tasks to a cloud platform, such as Amazon Webservices (AWS), Microsoft Azure, or Google Cloud Platform, to private clouds, and-or to hybrid cloud solutions. See our blog post, What is Cloud Migration, for an introduction. Figure 1: Steps in cloud migration.

Understand the impact of data transfer and egress costs across Azure, Amazon Web Services, and Google Cloud platform in data integration One of the most frequent questions asked by cloud-savvy, price-aware customers is something like: Ok, so we like that your tool makes it easy to integrate our cloud database and storage in our centralized data warehouse, but I know our budget will be scrutinized for Total Cost of Ownership (TCO), including our data egress costs.

Running your own Kafka is starting to feel like wading through oatmeal. We’re not the only ones thinking that. The majority of organizations we speak to have or are in the process of moving their Kafka to a managed service. If you’re already an AWS-shop, Managed Streaming for Apache Kafka (MSK) is a no-brainer. It is the same Kafka that we know and love and integrated with other AWS services such as IAM, Cloudwatch, Cloudtrail, KMS, VPC and more.
