We’ve recently experienced two fairly large system problems that have affected approximately 35% of our clients. The first issue took 50 minutes to resolve and the other approximately 10 hours. The root cause in both cases was the way we handled the provisioning of adhoc sandboxes on top of our SnowflakeDB (a few words about “how we started w/ them”).
How do you protect the stability of the work you’ve already done, while evangelizing experimentation, exploration and progress within your organization? The rapid evolution in business intelligence and analytics capabilities is both exhilarating and overwhelming.
BigQuery, Google Cloud’s serverless, highly scalable, low-cost, enterprise data warehouse, was designed to make data analysts productive. With no infrastructure to manage, customers can focus on analyzing data using familiar Standard SQL, while simplifying database administration and data operations. Large enterprises, mid-market growing organizations, and cloud native startups across the globe can use BigQuery to perform analytics at scale with equal ease.
Automating the invoicing process to cut down up to 2-3 mandays per month. Our goal was clear. But how did we do it? Assisting clients with data and automation is our specialty here at Keboola, with the mission of helping businesses become “data-driven.” Several months ago it was our turn to put in moto our own engines and build an automated workflow for our invoicing process.
APIs are a key way businesses operate at the speed and scale necessary for today’s economy. We designed Apigee, Google Cloud’s full lifecycle API Management platform, to give businesses control over, and visibility into, the APIs that connect applications and data across the enterprise and across clouds. Apigee was recently recognized by Gartner as a leader in the 2018 Magic Quadrant for Full Life Cycle API Management.

To build and develop an advanced data ecosystem is the dream of any data team, yet that often means understanding how the business will need to store and process that data. As Traveloka’s data engineers, one of our most important obligations is to custom-tailor our data delivery tools for each individual team in our company, so that the business can benefit from the data it generates.
We’ve all dreamed of going to bed one day and waking up the next with superpowers – stronger, faster and even perhaps with the ability to fly. Yesterday that is exactly what happened to Tom Reilly and the people at Cloudera and Hortonworks. On October 2nd they went to bed as two rivals vying for leadership in the big data space.
