Many people wonder if they should use BigQuery or Bigtable. While these two services have a number of similarities, including "Big" in their names, they support very different use cases in your big data ecosystem. At a high level, Bigtable is a NoSQL wide-column database. It's optimized for low latency, large numbers of reads and writes, and maintaining performance at scale.
In our previous blog post in this series, we explored the benefits of using GPUs for data science workflows, and demonstrated how to set up sessions in Cloudera Machine Learning (CML) to access NVIDIA GPUs for accelerating Machine Learning Projects.
We've moved from desktop to SaaS, to a real UX focus. Now we're seeing new vendors that are analytics-first. They’re creating new applications that are challenging the established players. Historically, applications were transaction-first; you build your software thinking about your workflow or the transactions that you want people to do.
The exponential adoption of IT technologies over the past several decades has had a profound impact on organizations of all sizes.

Heroku is a powerful platform for application development. Users can build and deploy on the cloud, and you can effortlessly scale up once your app takes off. And behind every app, you'll find an equally powerful database: Heroku Postgres. If you're building Heroku apps, you'll find them to be a rich source of operational and customer data. Add in the right Business Intelligence (BI) tools, and you'll be able to derive insights about the inner workings of your organization.
Cloudera Data Engineering is a serverless service for Cloudera Data Platform (CDP) that allows you to submit jobs to auto-scaling virtual clusters. CDE enables you to spend more time on your applications, and less time on infrastructure. CDE allows you to create, manage, and schedule Apache Spark jobs without the overhead of creating and maintaining Spark clusters.
The blog “Migrating Apache NiFi Flows from HDF to CFM with Zero Downtime” detailed how many common NiFi dataflows can be easily migrated when the Hortonworks DataFlow and Cloudera Flow Management clusters are running side-by-side. But what if you lack the resources to run multiple NiFi clusters concurrently? Not a problem.
