Metadata governance is the systematic approach to managing metadata, or data about data, to ensure it is accurate, consistently formatted, and securely stored. The main goal of metadata governance is to improve data quality, ensure data privacy, and streamline metadata management. As metadata provides the necessary details about data, such as when it was created, by whom, and its content or purpose, it becomes easier for employees to find, understand, and trust the data they use.

No matter their size, all organizations rely heavily on the data they collect and manage. This data ranges from customer information to sales records, employee performance, and more. However, if this data is inaccurate, outdated, or incomplete, it becomes more of a liability than an asset, making it more important to measure its health. To do so, they need data quality metrics relevant to their specific needs.

The microapp trend is on the rise! In the approximately two years since joining the DreamFactory team, I’d estimate I’ve conversed with more than one thousand companies about their API-based projects. These conversations provide a great opportunity to peer inside the IT operations of organizations large and small, not to mention pick up on emerging technology trends.

For independent software vendors (ISVs), creating unique differentiators and value increasingly entails adopting the latest technologies to enhance your product experience, especially in an ever-evolving competitive landscape with multiple new tech solutions. AI analytics is the latest emerging field in business intelligence (BI) solutions that offers new sophisticated capabilities for the user experience (UX) of your product’s analytics component.

Developing microservices destined to run in Kubernetes presents a unique set of challenges. In this blog post, we’ll explore a new approach leveraging Codezero in order to enhance both productivity and security.

Cybersecurity is one of the most prominent and pressing concerns for businesses today. As developers move more of their web applications to a microservices architecture, data is shared by web service APIs now more than ever. Industry analysts predicted that API attacks would become the most common attack vector by the end of this year. Unfortunately, that prediction has come true.
