Confluent Cloud for Apache Flink | Simple, Serverless Stream Processing

Stream processing plays a critical role in the infrastructure stack for data streaming. Developers can use it to filter, join, aggregate, and transform their data streams on the fly to power real-time applications and streaming data pipelines. Among stream processing frameworks, Apache Flink has emerged as the de facto standard because of its performance and rich feature set. However, self-managing Flink (like self-managing other open source tools like Kafka) can be challenging due to its operational complexity, steep learning curve, and high costs for in-house support.

The Confluent Q1 '24 Launch

The Confluent Q1 ’24 Launch is packed with new features that enable customers to build, connect, and consume intelligent data pipelines seamlessly and securely Our quarterly launches provide a single resource to learn about the accelerating number of new features we’re bringing to Confluent Cloud, our cloud-native data streaming platform.

Why You Need GPU as a Service for GenAI

GPU as a Service (GPUaaS) serves as a cost-effective solution for organizations who need more GPUs for their ML and gen AI operations. By optimizing the use of existing resources, GPUaaS allows organizations to build and deploy their applications, without waiting for new hardware. In this blog post, we explain how GPUaaS as a service works, how it can close the GPU shortage gap, when to use GPUaaS and how it fits with gen AI.

Preview: Generative AI automatically heals tests in Rainforest

We consistently hear from engineering leaders that automated test maintenance is a painful, mindless exercise that takes too much time away shipping code — the main goal of any startup software team. Our vision is to deliver end-to-end test automation that requires no maintenance from your team. With that in mind, we’ve designed Rainforest as an intuitive, no-code platform that anyone can quickly use with no training. This has been an important — but insufficient! — step.

4 Key Types of Event-Driven Architecture

Adam Bellemare compares four main types of Event-Driven Architecture (EDA): Application Internal, Ephemeral Messaging, Queues, and Publish/Subscribe. Event-Driven Architectures have a long and storied history, and for good reason. They offer a powerful way to build scalable and decoupled architectures. But thanks to its long history, people often have different ideas of what EDA means depending on when they first encountered this architecture.

Top 4 Programming Languages for IoT Development

IoT startups serve various purposes such as increased performance, security, comfort, and entertainment. However, implementing IoT projects requires a mix of skills, knowledge, and technologies, including hardware, software, cloud computing, networking, and analytics. Of course, a key element of anу IoT solution is to pick an appropriate programming language that ensures the interaction between IoT devices and apps, processing, data storage, task execution, and user interaction.
