Businesses have been scaling rapidly in the cloud, driven by the pandemic and lured by the promise of agility and flexibility. But here’s a dirty little secret anyone who works in data knows. Despite the value of the cloud, tons of data hasn’t made it there. So, where is it? Spreadsheets. Still the stalwart workhorse, hero, and bane of the business world. We all love how Google revolutionized this world by bringing spreadsheets to the cloud.

The Apache Solr cluster is available in CDP Public Cloud, using the “Data exploration and analytics” data hub template. In this article we will investigate how to connect to the Solr REST API running in the Public Cloud, and highlight the performance impact of session cookie configurations when Apache Knox Gateway is used to proxy the traffic to Solr servers. Information in this blog post can be useful for engineers developing Apache Solr client applications.

A service mesh is a dedicated infrastructure layer that manages traffic, also known as communication, between services in applications composed of containerized microservices. It is a critical component in a microservices architecture, responsible for the secure, fast, and reliable communication between services. This article answers a lot of the questions you may have about service meshes: What are they and how do they work? Who is using them and why?

The telecommunications industry continues to develop hybrid data architectures to support data workload virtualization and cloud migration. However, while the promise of the cloud remains essential—not just for data workloads but also for network virtualisation and B2B offerings—the sheer volume and scale of data in the industry require careful management of the “journey to the cloud.”

In this post I'll explain how to use a cloud pubsub service such as Ably to visualize the progress of a serverless workflow in realtime. You'll learn.
