For more than 20 years, OpenTable has connected foodies and novice diners with the restaurants they love. But how does its technology work on the back end? To make a long story short: data. Beyond the app and website, OpenTable provides restaurants with software that manages their floor plans, phone reservations, walk-ins, shift scheduling, turn times, and more.
Are you ready to turbo-charge your data flows on the cloud for maximum speed and efficiency? We are excited to announce the general availability of Cloudera DataFlow for the Public Cloud (CDF-PC) – a brand new experience on the Cloudera Data Platform (CDP) to address some of the key operational and monitoring challenges of standard Apache NiFi clusters that are overloaded with high-performant flows.

Migros is the largest retailer in Turkey, with more than 2500 outlets selling fresh produce and groceries to millions of people.

The company’s data warehouse currently holds more than 200 terabytes, and Migros is running more than 7,000 ETL (extract, transform, load) jobs every day.
Every enterprise is trying to collect and analyze data to get better insights into their business.

This whole architecture made a lot of sense when there was a consistent and predictable flow of data to process.
In my previous blog post, I shared examples of how data provides the foundation for a modern organization to understand and exceed customers’ expectations. However, the important role data occupies extends beyond customer experience and revenue, as it becomes increasingly central in optimizing internal processes for the long-term growth of an organization.
The arrival of more and more data in all segments of the enterprise started out as an embarrassment of riches, but quickly transformed into something close to a nightmare of dark data. However, a raft of new technologies and the processes embodied in DataOps are charting a path forward in which a much higher percentage of data becomes useful. The challenge most companies face is how to manage and get access to all the data flooding in from all directions.
