One key aspect of the Cloudera Data Platform (CDP), which is just beginning to be understood, is how much of a recombinant-evolution it represents, from an architectural standpoint, vis-à-vis Hadoop in its first decade. I’ve been having a blast showing CDP to customers over the past few months and the response has been nothing short of phenomenal…

The novel coronavirus, COVID-19, presents challenges the world hasn’t seen for decades. Humans have fought global pandemics before, and it isn’t easy. But we have an additional weapon on our side this time — data.

In light of recent events, we have decided to turn our successful Bitrise User Groups (BUGs) into a series of online events. Read on to learn more about what’s going to be different, and how you can be a part of it all, too.

You may not know it, but you’ve probably used microapps on your computer or mobile device. They’re single-purpose apps. They don’t seem to do much, but they excel at performing specific tasks.

Back in 1985, Simple Minds sang “Don’t You (Forget About Me),” the soundtrack to – what is IMHO – one of the greatest movies of the ‘80s: “The Breakfast Club.” The song famously asks us not to forget, and – if any of the wedding parties I’ve attended are anything to go by – we certainly haven’t. However, when it comes to our sensitive data, that’s not always the case.

Cypress is one of the best web testing frameworks created so far. With more and more new web development frameworks on the market, it’s harder and harder to find an end to end testing or integration testing framework that would work well in any situation. In the recent years, we’ve seen a spike in web development frameworks, from Angular 1 or Angular 2, to the more popular React and VueJs, to new one like Svelte, and less popular like EmberJs and BackboneJs.

Shipping the right app with the right functionalities to the right customer, at the right time is how you boost your ranking in the app store. Some of the key steps in this process are: continuously releasing high-quality software, listening to feedback, and providing new features to users — before they even know that they want them. To achieve all of this, app developers need two main things: automation tools and a growth mindset.

The metaphor of software viruses to biological ones is deeply ingrained, easily seen in the fact that biological viruses are at least the namesake, if not the inspiration for computer viruses. Can we take this analogy and reapply it in reverse? Is it possible to learn more about how we can combat biological viruses, such as the raging COVID-19 epidemic, by leveraging concepts, mindsets, and ideas that evolved in the software engineering and cybersecurity worlds?

This blog post is part of a series on Cloudera’s Operational Database (OpDB) in CDP. Each post goes into more details about new features and capabilities. Start from the beginning of the series with, Operational Database in CDP. Cloudera’s OpDB provides a rich set of capabilities to store and access data. In this blog post, we’ll look at the accessibility capabilities of OpDB and how you can make use of these capabilities to access your data.

We’re continuing our series on the slick new features and design that you can find in Yellowfin 9 - a game-changing analytics product packed with new capabilities to help you get to actionable insights faster. It was time for a change to the look and feel of the Yellowfin platform and we also knew that some of the workflows could be enhanced. So, the major release of Yellowfin 9 was our chance to give Yellowfin a new look and improve the user interface and workflows while we were at it.
