Executing SQL Joins in REST APIs Using DreamFactory

As a follow up to our previous blog post about retrieving related data from that REST API, I wanted to dive deeper into the power of the “related records” feature of DreamFactory’s database-backed APIs. One of the powerful features of SQL databases is the ability to relate separate data records and perform queries that retrieve that related data all at once. One problem is that this requires a fairly in-depth knowledge of your database, it’s schema, and SQL syntax.

Find Where N+1 Database Queries Affect Your Application

One of the Scout’s key features is its ability to quickly highlight N+1 queries in your application that you might not have been aware of, and then show you the exact line of code that you need to look at in order to fix it. In this video, we will use a Ruby on Rails application as an example, but the same concepts apply to other popular web frameworks.

An Introduction to Kubernetes and Its Uses

It's easy to get lost in today's continuously changing landscape of cloud native technologies. The learning curve from a beginner's perspective is quite steep, and without proper context it becomes increasingly difficult to sift through all the buzzwords. If you have been developing software, chances are you may have heard of Kubernetes by now. Before we jump into what Kubernetes is, it's essential to familiarize ourselves with containerization and how it came about.

Correlation Analysis: A Natural Next Step for Anomaly Detection

Over the last decade, data collection has become a commodity. Consequently, there has been a tremendous deluge of data in every area of industry. This trend is captured by recent research, which points to growing volume of raw data and growth of market segments fueled by that data growth.

Building ML Pipelines Over Federated Data & Compute Environments

A Forbes survey shows that data scientists spend 19% of their time collecting data sets and 60% of their time cleaning and organizing data. All told, data scientists spend around 80% of their time on preparing and managing data for analysis. One of the greatest obstacles that make it so difficult to bring data science initiatives to life is the lack of robust data management tools.

Addressing the data storm with the Enterprise Data Cloud

For some, this may look like a new category at this year’s Data Impact Awards. However, the Enterprise Data Cloud category marks the evolution of what was once the Data Anywhere category. The main reason for this change is that this title better represents the move that our customers are making; away from acknowledging the ability to have data ‘anywhere’.

Access control for Azure ADLS cloud object storage

Cloudera Data Platform 7.2.1 introduces fine-grained authorization for access to Azure Data Lake Storage using Apache Ranger policies. Cloudera and Microsoft have been working together closely on this integration, which greatly simplifies the security administration of access to ADLS-Gen2 cloud storage.

Dashboards vs automated business monitoring: What's the difference?

In 2020, however, contining to rely just on dashboards for your BI needs isn't enough. Why? Data is growing exponentially - in both size and complexity - within every business today. Manually keeping track of performance and searching for insights has become difficult for many users, and it's fostered new expectations - to be able to do more with analytics - including making it faster and easier to keep on top of changes or opportunities.
