Why our new Streaming SQL opens up your data platform

SQL has long been the universal language for working with data. In fact it’s more relevant today than it was 40 years ago. Many data technologies were born without it and inevitably ended up adopting it later on. Apache Kafka is one of these data technologies. At Lenses.io, we were the first in the market to develop a SQL layer for Kafka (yes, before KSQL) and integrate it in a few different areas of our product for different workloads.

How to Create a JavaScript Library. 7 Tips to Create a Library That Every Developer Loves Using

Have you ever found yourself copy-pasting the same bits of JavaScript code between different projects? Well, when this situation happens two or three times in a row, it’s usually a good indicator that you have a piece of code that is useful and reusable. So, if you are already reusing your code across several different projects, why not go the extra mile and convert it into a library that allows you to optimize this code-sharing?

Use AI To Quickly Handle Sensitive Data Management

The growing waves of data that you’re pulling in include sensitive, personal or confidential data. This can become a compliance nightmare, especially with rules around PII, GDPR and CCPA, and it takes too much time to manually decide what should be protected. In this session, we will show how AI-driven data catalogs can identify sensitive data and share  that identification with your data security platforms to automate its discovery, identification and security.  You'll see how this dramatically reduces your time to onboard data and makes it safely available  to your business  communities.

Amazon EMR Insider Series: Optimizing big data costs with Amazon EMR & Unravel

Data is a core part of every business. As data volumes increase so do costs of processing it. Whether you are running your Apache Spark, Hive, or Presto workloads on-premise or on AWS, Amazon EMR is a sure way to save you money. In this session, we’ll discuss several best practices and new features that enable you to cut your operating costs and save money when processing vast amounts of data using Amazon EMR.

Adoption of a Cloud Data Platform, Intelligent Data Analytics While Maintaining Security, Governance and Privacy

“You cannot be the same, think the same and act the same if you hope to be successful in a world that does not remain the same.” This sentence by John C. Maxwell is so relevant to rapidly changing cloud hosting technology. Businesses understand the added value and are looking at cloud technologies to handle both operational and analytical workloads.

ML / DL Engineering Made Easy with PyTorch's Ecosystem Tools

This blog post is a first of a series on how to leverage PyTorch’s ecosystem tools to easily jumpstart your ML / DL project. The first part of this blog describes common problems appearing when developing ML / DL solutions, and the second describes a simple image classification example demonstrating how to use Allegro Trains and PyTorch to address those problems.

What Security Means for Web and Mobile Application Testing

Employees today are more mobile than ever. As we saw, due to COVID-19 the majority of organizations moved their employees to a work from home model overnight. This quick change of location forced businesses to implement solutions that would provide their workforces secure remote access to an increasingly complex corporate network.

Everything you want to know about Kafka monitoring

Apache Kafka is a popular and powerful component of modern data platforms. But it's complicated. Complicated to run, complex to manage and crucially - it's near impossible to drive Kafka adoption from the command line across your organization. So here's your how-to for seeing it through to production (... and possibly fame and fortune). We cover key principles for Kafka observability and monitoring.

AI Powered Efficiency - Katalon Offers Native Integration with Applitools

If you write software for a living, you probably have a bias toward coded tests and against all things codeless. Most software engineers who become test engineers trust themselves to write well-designed structured code. Some people see record-and-playback as cheating, demeaning, or otherwise indicative of poor workmanship. Yet, research shows that test code maintenance costs correlate directly to the number of lines of written test code.
