Real-time analytics can keep you up-to-date on what’s happening right now, such as how many people are currently reading your new blog post and whether someone just liked your latest Facebook status. For most use cases, real-time is a nice-to-have feature that won’t provide any crucial insights. However, sometimes real-time is a must. Let’s say that you run a big ad agency.

Most companies offering any kind of service or product answer this question from consumers or potential clients all the time: "How much does it cost?" Or, the much harder question: "How much will it cost if I choose these services with these extras for my particular company/house/yard/situation, etc.?" The tough part is that pricing services or software usually involves too many variables.

Working with raw or unprocessed data often leads to poor decision-making. This explains why data scientists, engineers, and other analytic professionals spend over 80% of their time finding, cleaning, and organizing data. Accordingly, the ETL process - the foundation of all data pipelines - devotes an entire section to T, transformations: the act of cleaning, molding, and reshaping data into a valuable format.

Data warehouses are a particular kind of database. Learn how they are uniquely suited to analytics.

At Ably, we run a large scale production infrastructure that powers our customers’ real-time messaging applications around the world.

This is a step-by-step guide with hands-on tips for migrating your React Native apps from Jenkins to Bitrise, quickly and easily.

Software is available everywhere we look. Any machinery we use associates itself with code that controls the way it works. Software teams work to write these applications, and many software developers band together to work on a single project. They keep working on ensuring that the application should work just as designed for the end-user when they deploy the code.

How do you choose an API style and API technology when you start a new project? Today, if you look at API technology research such as RapidAPI Developer Survey and Insights, you’ll probably conclude that REST is the dominant force in the API landscape. While REST is certainly well-known to most developers and used in a lot of production environments, it may not be the best fit for every scenario.

The ETL (extract, transform, load) process depends on quickly, efficiently, and securely transferring information between sources and targets. However, there are multiple options for data transfer protocols, including FTP and its close relative SFTP. So what’s the difference between FTP and SFTP, and how can you decide which one to use for your enterprise data? We have all the answers below.

According to Deloitte, 96% of organizations are using APIs in 2021, representing a 16% increase from just last year. The value of APIs for modern-day organizations is hardly questioned, with Deloitte pointing out that they represent “a strategic enabler in modern enterprises to build up connected experiences and unlock value from existing data.” Is you business considering how API strategy fundamentals like technology integration can support your long term goals?
