You did it. You have machine learning capabilities up and running in your organization. Success! What started as a few nascent experiments (and maybe a few failures) are now carefully constructed models racing along in full production—with the ability to scale into the hundreds or thousands of productional models in sight. Assembling your expert team of data scientists and custodians seems like a distant memory. Now you’re looking ahead to the future—growth, innovation, revenue!

It’s hard to believe that we are now over 30 years into data warehousing. In that time, we have seen major changes in tools to help user report on and analyse data. In the last twenty years, we have seen the evolution from reporting, ad hoc analysis and advanced analytics. Today, BI/Analytics is a mature market with self-service BI and visual analysis standards in most organisations with self-service data preparation also widely deployed.

This post describes an architecture, and associated controls for privacy, to build a data platform for a nationwide proactive contact tracing solution.

Effectively managing data in an edge-to-cloud world is becoming increasingly complex. Enterprises need data management simplicity and agility to maximize the benefits they can get from their data. The enterprise that will succeed will shift resources away from mundane data management tasks to focus on using data to innovate and add business value.

Yellowfin 9 is defined by the belief that design matters. The ability to create a cohesive design look and feel across analytics dashboards and reports is particularly crucial for independent software vendors (ISVs) that embed analytics into their applications. Interestingly, when you take a look at the wider analytics market, few vendors are providing the toolkit that designers and developers need to build the analytical experiences they want.

ETL tools help companies to streamline and enhance their data operations. They automate the repetitive tasks involved in extracting raw data from sources, transforming data into a consumable format and loading into data warehouses, where it is ready to be analyzed. With so many offerings available to you, all of which do the heavy lifting ‘out of the box’, it is hard to discern which ETL tool is best suited to your needs.

“Alone we can do so little; together we can do so much.” – a famous quote by Hellen Keller is very much valid even in current times, especially in the context of teamwork. The relationship between any two people is considered good when communication between them is healthy. And on the same lines, a team is able to work ‘together’ better when their communication is strong.

We built Kong to handle any API at any level of scale, but running APIs at scale means storing and managing data at scale. That’s why we’ve always recommended Apache Cassandra for the biggest Kong deployments. Cassandra is powerful and proven, but it does require some skill to install and operate – which is why we’re excited to hear that Datastax is making Cassandra easy to use at any level of scale with DataStax Astra, a Database-as-a-Service built on Apache Cassandra.

“When you’re working from home you should try and do it systematically and methodologically”, says John Bennett a veteran work-at-homer. “It’s a lot like running a business from home, which is what I do”. John night know a thing or two about it, since he’s been working from home in upstate New Hampshire for the last 20 years.

Working with Rookout customers, I have noticed a significant pattern in how they describe engineering routines in the days before our software became a part of their daily workflow. It shows up in various engineering tasks such as developing new features, reproducing and fixing bugs, or even just documenting the existing system and how to best utilize it. It is also consistent across industries and tech stack.
