Cloud Object Storage-based Architectures are Natively Scalable and Available

There is a long history of clustering architectures with respect to building distributed databases for two primary reasons. The first is scalability. If a cluster of nodes has reached its capacity to perform work, adding additional nodes are introduced to handle the increased load. The second is availability. The ability to ensure that if a node fails, let’s say during ingestion and/or querying, remaining nodes would continue to execute due to state replication.

How to Integrate BI and Data Visualization Tools with a Data Lake

For the past 30 years, the primary data source for business intelligence (BI) and data visualization tools has generally been either a data warehouse or a data mart. But as enterprises today struggle to cope with the growing complexity, scale, and speed of data, it’s becoming clear that the data tools of 30 years ago weren’t designed to handle the enterprise data management challenges of today - especially with the growing variety and amounts of data that enterprises are generating.

Unlocking the Power of Data Catalogs with a Cloud Data Platform

If you use a data lake, chances are you need a way to keep your data searchable for business users. When combined with the analytics capabilities of a cloud data platform, a data catalog can solve some of the common pain points around “data swamps,” where users fail to gain any meaningful insights from their data. Some of a business’s most valuable assets lie within its data.

What is DataOps? Leveraging Telemetry Data for Product-Led Growth

Any data-driven organization will tell you that the holy grail is faster time to insights. But the unfortunate truth is that business users often have to wait days — even weeks or months — to analyze the data they need. Behind the scenes, data engineering teams put a lot of work into joining disparate datasets, creating pipelines, and delivering a final data product back to their stakeholders for analysis.

The 7 Costly and Complex Challenges of Big Data Analytics

re:Invent 2022 is just around the corner and we couldn’t be more excited to share the latest ChaosSearch innovations and capabilities with our current and future customers in the AWS ecosystem. Enterprise DevOps teams, SREs, and data engineers everywhere are struggling to navigate the growing costs and complexity of big data analytics, particularly when it comes to operational data.

Episode 7 | Data Lifecycle | 7 Challenges of Big Data Analytics

What is a data lifecycle? From birth to death, from source to destination, data seems to always be on a journey. If storage and compute were free or there were no laws like the “Right to be Forgotten” within policies such as “General Data Protection Regulation” or GDPR for short, organizations might never delete information. However, at scale data gets extremely expensive and customers do have liberties with regards to governance and sovereignty. Often it is the case that platforms have whole controls and procedures around the lifecycle of data. And in this episode, we will focus on the complexity of scale when it comes to the day in the life of data.

Episode 6 | Data Analytics | 7 Challenges of Big Data Analytics

The first 5 challenges of #bigdataanalytics have been solved, bringing us closer to the end of the #datajourney. And here is where it starts getting real: Data Analytics. Today, there are struggles between operational and business analysis departments. SQL and ML functionality natively without data movement or duplication. How can you access and share the data timely, and efficiently, without data movement or duplication or an insane cost increase? Thomas Hazel shares his insights on how any organization can overcome this challenge, easily.

Episode 5 | Data Platform | Data Journey | 7 Challenges of Big Data Analytics

What are data platforms? A data platform (or more topical, “cloud data platform”) is an integrated set of technologies that collectively meet an organization’s end-to-end data needs. In totality, it enables the storage, delivery, and governance of company data, as well as a security layer for users and applications. The heart of a platform is an actual database where it might be better called a data “analytics” platform or in our case big data analytics platform.
