Scaling Kafka Brokers in Cloudera Data Hub

This blog post will provide guidance to administrators currently using or interested in using Kafka nodes to maintain cluster changes as they scale up or down to balance performance and cloud costs in production deployments. Kafka brokers contained within host groups enable the administrators to more easily add and remove nodes. This creates flexibility to handle real-time data feed volumes as they fluctuate.

Webinar: Unlocking the Value of Cloud Data and Analytics

From data lakes and data warehouses to data mesh and data fabric architectures, the world of analytics continues to evolve to meet the demand for fast, easy, wide-ranging data insights. Right now, nearly 50% of DBTA subscribers are using public cloud services, and many are investing further in staff, skills, and solutions to address key technical challenges. Even today, the amount of time and resources most organizations spend analyzing data pales in comparison to the effort expended in identifying, cleansing, rationalizing, consolidating, and transforming that data.

How to Do Data Labeling, Versioning, and Management for ML

It has been months ago when Toloka and ClearML met together to create this joint project. Our goal was to showcase to other ML practitioners how to first gather data and then version and manage data before it is fed to an ML model. We believe that following those best practices will help others build better and more robust AI solutions. If you are curious, have a look at the project we have created together.

A Guide to Principal Component Analysis (PCA) for Machine Learning

Principal Component Analysis (PCA) is one of the most commonly used unsupervised machine learning algorithms across a variety of applications: exploratory data analysis, dimensionality reduction, information compression, data de-noising, and plenty more. In this blog, we will go step-by-step and cover: Before we delve into its inner workings, let’s first get a better understanding of PCA. Imagine we have a 2-dimensional dataset.

What is Open Source and How to Get Started?

Software engineering is an exciting field that offers various roles and responsibilities to individuals. Some prominent roles are developer, quality assurance engineer, project manager, product manager, DevOps, and many more. Each of these roles also has sub-roles. For example, we have front-end, back-end, and full-stack developers in development. In testing, we have manual testing, automation, unit testing, and end-to-end testing.

Distributed tracing with Envoy, Kuma, Grafana Agent, and Jaeger

As a cloud service provider, observability is a critical subject as it's strongly related to the availability of the services running on the platform. We need to understand everything that is happening on our platform to troubleshoot errors as fast as possible and improve performance issues. A year ago, while the platform was still in private beta, we faced a tough reliability issue: users were facing random 500 errors when accessing their applications.
