At Ably we provide a service that handles high volumes of client connections – multiple millions of concurrent WebSocket and HTTP streaming connections.

At this point, we can pretty confidently project that the cloud isn’t going anywhere. In the last few years, we’ve seen critical production workloads move to the cloud en masse—and that’s only going to continue. Now that the shift has occurred, other companies will need to get on board as well. The question is no longer if a company should adopt cloud but when and how. Ajeet Singh, ThoughtSpot’s Co-founder and Executive Chairman, is no stranger to embracing change.

Fivetran continues to help companies gain visibility into their AWS environment through additional integrations.

There’s a common misconception that as soon as a business signs up for a solution from a cloud service provider (CSP), that the CSP will automatically ensure all their dealings in that cloud environment are safe and secure. As dedicated as Cloud Service Providers are to cybersecurity, that’s simply not possible. Your cloud provider has no control over the customer data you share, the aptitude of your employees, or how you optimize your own on-premises security and firewalls.

For many businesses in 2020, the increased use of cloud providers and online services has been essential to keeping the lights on in virtual environments. This has prompted companies to overcome the inertia and red tape surrounding SaaS, PaaS and other “aaS” products.

Synchronous and asynchronous, also known as sync and async, are two types of programming models. At an abstract level, programming models define how software is designed and executed. The basic programming models are synchronous, but asynchronous models are critical for performance reasons and to more efficiently use computing resources. Programming languages usually have built-in primitives to deal with asynchronous programming.
