Space-Based AI Shows the Promise of Big Data

At a distance of a million miles from Earth, the James Webb Space Telescope is pushing the edge of data transfer capabilities. The observatory launched Dec. 25 2021 on a mission to look at the early universe, at exoplanets, and at other objects of celestial interest. But first it must pass a rigorous, months-long commissioning period to make sure that the data will get back to Earth properly. Mission managers provided an update Feb.

Cost-Per-Order Formula for E-Commerce Explained

Our Five Key Points: You have a customer. They want a product: you sell that product. It’s simple, but how do you know if you’re charging the right amount for that product? Knowing how to calculate the cost per order is essential in helping you set the correct prices for your products and services. As an e-commerce retailer, you’ll naturally have lower overheads than a brick-and-mortar store.

Scaling Microservices with Contract Testing and Pactflow

API growth continues to rise within the modern enterprise. Microservices, are a leading growth driver for APIs as development teams continue to break down monolithic systems, seeking to capitalize on the advantages of decoupled capabilities. Benefits such as reduced costs, reduced time-to-market, faster release cycles and decentralized evolvability are possible. However, as APIs become increasingly prolific and central to core business functions, such benefits do not always linearly scale.

Every Experience Matters: What Makes Us Shout at Computers?

Welcome back to the new Sauce Labs series ‘Every Experience Matters Stat of the Week.” In last week’s edition, we mentioned that about a quarter of consumers encounter an error or bug every day. While this indicated that errors are quite common overall, we didn’t dive deeper into how a customer may react when encountering those bugs. Are customers as forgiving as we might hope? Sadly, that is not the case. The results are dubious, to say the least.

Solve a Problem, Change the World w/ Amr Awadallah

A universal human problem that we don’t often address is that historically, knowledge has been relatively siloed by language. But with advancements in AI, there are new opportunities to capture broader and deeper insights across the written and spoken word by breaking down global language and distance barriers. This was the topic of discussion on our most recent Data Legends podcast episode, featuring Amr Awadallah, founder and CEO at ZIR AI and former technology exec at Cloudera, Google, and Yahoo.

Postman Load Test Tutorial

In this load test tutorial, you’ll learn how to use Postman for small-scale API testing. You’ll also learn about some shortcomings and challenges of the framework that can be solved by using a tool like Speedscale. Because HTTP services don’t have a graphical user interface, you’re forced to test web APIs by simulating requests from a known client so that you can control the traffic data.

Data-Centric AI with Continual and Snowflake

Data infrastructure is rapidly growing and evolving along with infrastructure for AI/ML, with the latter growing largely independent from the former. An emerging generation of AI/ML tooling emphasizes data-centric versus model-centric approaches to the ML development lifecycle. These tools recognize that data is the foundation for AI and seek to open opportunities for all data professionals to participate by eliminating the unnecessary complexity of traditional model-centric solutions.
