Bucketing, also known as binning, is useful to find groupings in continuous data (particularly numbers and time stamps). While it’s often used to generate histograms, bucketing can also be used to group rows by business-defined rules. I’ll walk through the simple bucketing various data types as well as custom buckets.
Migrating a data warehouse from a legacy environment requires a massive upfront investment in resources and time. There is a lot to consider before and during migration. You may need to replan your data model, use a separate platform for tasks scheduling, and handle changes in the application’s database driver. Therefore, organizations must take a strategic approach to streamline the process. This article presents a step-by-step approach for migrating a data warehouse to the cloud.
Production debugging, as the name suggests, takes place when one must debug the production environment and see the root cause of this problem. This is a form of debugging that can also be done remotely, as during the production phase, it may not be possible to debug within the local environment of the application. These production bugs are trickier to resolve as well, because the development team may not have access to the local environment when the problems do crop up.
Canada is poised to become a world-leader in privacy regulation and with new regulation comes record-breaking fines for those who can’t keep up. In November, Canada introduced the Digital Charter Implementation Act. If passed, companies could face fines of up to five percent of global revenue or $25 million CAD — whichever is greater — for violating Canadians’ privacy.

Going into the new year, we had several exciting things in the works: expanding our office space, growing the team, attending and hosting events, and releasing a ton of new features for our users.
It’s no exaggeration to say that today’s internet is built on JavaScript. Around 95% of all websites have been built using the language, according to the latest figures. JavaScript has evolved beyond the client side and is now used to construct entire technology stacks, not to mention support databases like pouchdb and RethinkDB.
Welcome to 2020: the year in which having a business simply can’t happen without having a website. And, in recent years, not just ANY website. Business owners must have THE website: an online virtual space that is so magnificently created and intuitive to use, not to mention flame up emotions we never knew existed that users simply can’t forget. But how do you achieve this in a world with SO MANY WEBSITES without having to spend weeks if not MONTHS creating it?
There comes a time in every developer’s life (or daily routine, we’re not here to judge) where they have to go and fix a bug. Back in the days when I used to be a developer, I distinctly remember how each time I would go face to face with a bug, my favorite method to fix it was to add log lines. I mean, why not, right?
