Amazon OpenSearch Ingestion Adds Support for Confluent Cloud as Source
Until recently, customers didn't have an easy way to send data from Confluent’s data streaming platform to Amazon OpenSearch. They had to either write custom code using AWS Lambda as an intermediary, refactor the HTTP Sink connector, or self-manage an old Elasticsearch connector version. Earlier this year, we announced the fully managed OpenSearch Sink connector, providing a seamless way to sink data from Confluent to Amazon OpenSearch.

Qlik Connect: A Decade in for me, the Best One Yet
This year’s Qlik Connect was officially my 10th Qlik annual user conference… From Qonnections to Qlik World to Qlik Connect, you could assume I have seen it all already, but I can honestly say that this one was the best (and most fun!) yet. But don’t take my word for it. The buzz from our wonderful community of Qlik partners and customers speaks for itself.
What is API Documentation and Why is it Important?
Application Programming Interfaces (APIs) integrate diverse software systems and enable seamless communication. 98% of enterprise leaders agree that APIs are essential to an organization’s digital transformation. But just having APIs isn’t enough; it’s equally important to provide clear instructions on how to use them. Think of API documentation as the user manual that comes with a product—except, in this case, the product is code.
SQL Server API: What It Is and How to Create One
SQL Server is a modern relational database management system. It helps data teams store and manage vast amounts of data. However, organizations need efficient methods to access and manipulate this data to leverage it fully. This is where SQL Server APIs come into play. APIs, or Application Programming Interfaces, act as intermediaries enabling different software applications to communicate.
Microservice Pitfalls: Solving the Dual-Write Problem | Designing Event-Driven Microservices
When building a distributed system, developers are often faced with something known as the dual-write problem. It occurs whenever the system needs to perform individual writes to separate systems that can't be transactionally linked. This situation creates the potential for data loss if the developer isn't careful. However, techniques such as the Transactional Outbox Pattern and Event Sourcing can be used to guard against the potential for data loss while also providing added resilience to the system.
