Interested in learning about different technologies and methodologies, such as Databricks, Amazon EMR, cloud computing and DataOps? A good place to start is reading articles that give tips, tricks, and best practices for working with these technologies. Here are some of our favorite articles from experts on cloud migration, cloud management, Spark, Databricks, Amazon EMR, and DataOps!
Snowflake was architected with cross-cloud security built into its core, providing multiple layers of robust protection from network access, to authentication and access control, to data protection using encryption (for more details on Snowflake security, check out the on-demand session from Snowflake Summit). For the most-regulated customers around the world, enabling private connectivity is a critical first line of defense.
API gateways and management platforms like Azure API Management (APIM) are an excellent way to keep your APIs in order. They provide features that every API needs, like API keys, quotas, and caching in a standardized fashion. Your APIs will then behave more homogeneously and can be managed in a central place. They’re also the entry point to your cloud infrastructure and can help you abstract implementation from the interface.

Google's Cloud Functions let developers run their code in production in a scalable way without worrying about the minutiae of server administration. In this article, Subomi shows walks us through building a real-world service using GCF.
At Speedscale, we are on the cutting edge of defining autonomous testing for the cloud era. However, we aren’t the only company trying to solve this problem and we enjoy learning from every perspective. That’s why Facebook’s recent blog article about autonomous testing caught my eye. They’ve built a sophisticated autonomous test system that introduces many of the same techniques we utilize.
Here at Koyeb, we're kind of crazy about providing the fastest way to deploy applications globally. As you might already know, we're building a serverless platform exactly for this purpose. We recently wrote about how the Koyeb Serverless Engine runs microVMs to host your Services but we skipped a big subject: Global Networking. Global Networking is a big way of saying "How are my requests processed?".

We recently wrote about how the Koyeb Serverless Engine runs microVMs to host your Services but we skipped a big subject: Global Networking. Global Networking is a big way of saying "How are my requests processed?". A short answer is: requests go through our edge network before reaching your services hosted on our core locations.
Shifting customer behavior in the wake of the pandemic has forced many financial organizations to accelerate their digital transformation plans. According to a recent survey of financial C-suite executives, these organizations are increasing their technological investments to address the changing landscape. The cloud — a necessary component of any digital transformation — is a focal point of these investments.
In June, we announced that Java functions and the Snowpark API were available for preview in AWS. Today, we’re announcing a few additions to that preview: We’re expanding both where Snowpark is available as well as what you can do with it.
Organizations are more often running data and applications on multiple clouds, and that’s great. However, multi-cloud isn’t enough. To let loose the true power of data on your business, you must be cross-cloud. Cross-cloud means data moves easily between multiple public clouds without any additional work. It means never worrying about where your data and applications live or where your business and technical people are located.
A hands-on guide to building an Android app with AWS Amplify and Bitrise
Fivetran integrates seamlessly with multiple Google Cloud services, and the addition of HVR technology will improve the experience.
DynamoDB is a NoSQL database offered by AWS. It can be a great way to avoid adding load to your primary database when you need tens of thousands of reads/writes per second. In this article, Julie Kent walks us through the basics of using DynamoDB with Rails.
A more agile and efficient infrastructure is key to realizing the cost savings and productivity gains businesses needed to succeed in today’s highly competitive market. Recent surveys by Roger Magoulas & Steve Sawyer, May 19, 2020, show that 88% of enterprises are currently using cloud in some form or another. This adoption is not surprising as clouds have been around now for several decades since Amazon Web Services (AWS) was launched in 2002.
As organizations continue to embrace cloud-based computing as the cornerstone of their digital transformation, the integration platform as a service (iPaaS) has become a critical component of their integration environments. An iPaaS solution simplifies the integration of data, applications, and systems, whether in the cloud or on-premises, through unified support for API, application, data, and B2B integration styles.
Debugging is hard. Cloud debugging is harder. Debugging Kubernetes and Serverless applications sometimes feels nearly impossible when: These classic remote debugging challenges have made the world of cloud debugging seem impossible at times and has given rise to the practice of Observability. The rise of the Observability trend in recent years has directed engineers towards one direction to solving these problems: print logs, print traces, throw exceptions.
“You’re crazy if you don’t start in the cloud; you’re crazy if you stay on it,” quips a recent blog post from Andreessen Horowitz. Many companies are surprised by cloud bills that have shot past their expectations. Indeed, IDC predicts increased investment in public cloud cost management through 2022 as enterprises seek to cut cloud waste by 50%. This is the Cloud Cost Paradox.
A favorite moment of mine is when I get to share Qlik’s vision for Active Intelligence with a customer for the first time. It usually goes like this: genuine excitement about the possibility – taking informed action in the moment from real-time data…invariably followed by many questions – where do I begin? What do I need? What about the tech stack I have already acquired?
