Data integration is a vital practice for organizations seeking to leverage the wealth of information available to them. To achieve this, it's crucial to establish a seamless method of sending data from multiple sources to a centralized repository, such as a data warehouse. One commonly employed solution is SFTP (Secure File Transfer Protocol). In this comprehensive guide, we'll delve into the details of SFTP, explaining what it is and how to configure it securely for file transfers.

The manufacturing industry can benefit from AI, data and machine learning to advance manufacturing quality and productivity, minimize waste and reduce costs. With ML, manufacturers can modernize their businesses through use cases like forecasting demand, optimizing scheduling, preventing malfunctioning and managing quality. These all significantly contribute to bottom line improvement.

Both MySQL and Oracle provide the same architecture and use the relational model, and both offer many standard features such as indexing, vertical scalability, and support for popular operating systems. However, there are some critical differences between the two tools. Deciding between them can shape an enterprise’s data management and directly impact its success.

The Kong Konnect team recently launched the Portal Management API, which allows users to manage their Developer Portals with one API. That means you can easily manage your portal settings, appearance, application registrations, and registration settings easier than before. In this blog, I’ll walk you through two scenarios that we expect the portal management API can help streamline.

There are a few universal truths modern quality assurance (QA) teams have to acknowledge. While all of these are true, the expectation that QA teams can deliver new and existing bug-free features with aggressive time and cost constraints without support is unrealistic. Additionally, several in-house teams struggle to hire and retain specialized testing expertise.

Can DataOps help data consumers reveal and take action on powerful product insights hidden in operational data? For many companies, the answer is yes! The emerging practice of DataOps applies Agile development principles and DevOps best practices (e.g. collaboration, automation, monitoring and logging, observability) to data science and engineering, making it faster and easier for organizations to uncover valuable product insights that enable innovation.

BigQuery now supports generative AI use cases using Gemini 1.0 Pro with Vertex AI, providing higher input/output scale and better result quality.

Node.js is a powerful platform for building scalable and efficient server-side applications. One essential feature of Node.js development is managing timeouts effectively. Timeouts help handle various scenarios, such as preventing requests from hanging indefinitely or executing tasks within a specific timeframe. Let's get into the timeouts as time is out, what timeouts mean, and why they are necessary for Node.js applications.

Software testing is an indispensable stage in the software development lifecycle, tasked with verifying application reliability, security, and performance before deployment. This process evaluates software components to ensure they adhere to specified requirements and perform reliably under varied conditions.

In my first post of this new blog series, I introduced the concept of “sliding doors” for creating value with data: the divergent paths that organizations can take which can lead to great - or not so great - outcomes. In this post, I want to explore this for what has become a new data imperative for organizations today: effectively reporting their environmental, social and governance (ESG) data to meet new regulations.
