Modern business requires a range of digital components to communicate effectively when transferring data and delivering critical messages. Application programming interfaces, or APIs, are sets of rules that regulate exactly how certain apps or machines connect. If you work with data at all, you’ll have heard of REST or RESTful, and REST APIs — but what is REST API design? We explain below.

According to Forbes , 95% of companies need to manage unstructured data and use it to gain actionable insights. Data processing is the way to do just that. Unfortunately, poor data management occurs when companies don't make full use of the information they collect.

Apache Ozone is a scalable distributed object store that can efficiently manage billions of small and large files. Ozone natively provides Amazon S3 and Hadoop Filesystem compatible endpoints in addition to its own native object store API endpoint and is designed to work seamlessly with enterprise scale data warehousing, machine learning and streaming workloads. The object store is readily available alongside HDFS in CDP (Cloudera Data Platform) Private Cloud Base 7.1.3+.

The COVID-19 global pandemic has changed the ways we work, including how we use data, forever. Amidst the crisis, the analytics industry is experiencing its own paradigm shift.

During the process of turning data into insights, the most compelling data often comes with an added responsibility—the need to protect the people whose lives are caught up in that data. Plenty of data sets include sensitive information, and it’s the duty of every organization, down to each individual, to ensure that sensitive information is handled appropriately.

We rely on advanced data platforms that extract data from multiple sources, clean it, and save it so data scientists and analysts can gain insights from data. Data seems to flow seamlessly from one location to another, supporting our data-driven decision-making. The entire system runs smoothly because the engineering operations under the hood are correctly set and maintained.

In software development, a fail-fast system is a tool that will notify when a failure is likely to occur. The philosophy of the fail-fast principle is formed around the idea that a system should stop normal operations rather than trying to continue working around a flawed piece of code. The fail-fast principle makes software bugs easier to detect earlier in the development cycle.

Ably is an enterprise-grade pub/sub messaging platform with a suite of integrated services to deliver realtime experiences like interactive learning, logistics GPS tracking, and live sports updates.

In this post, I’ll take a close look at asynchronous queries in Recoil. I’ll show you what the library is capable of and how it blends seamlessly with React. Let’s get going!

Many organizations are using Gitflow as a branching model for their use of Git and Github Checks to monitor their testing of code changes. This article highlights how following the Gitflow process for a Hotfix can produce unexpected results when using Github Checks and explains why this edge case occurs.
