Money has been gradually digitized for decades, and the electronic transfer of funds is nothing new. But over the last five to ten years, internet technology and e-commerce have made digital payment methods the standard; these trends have sped up dramatically since the pandemic.

Uncontrolled cloud costs pose an enormous risk for any organization. The longer these costs go ungoverned, the greater your risk. Volatile, unforeseen expenses eat into profits. Budgets become unstable. Waste and inefficiency go unchecked. Making strategic decisions becomes difficult, if not impossible. Uncertainty reigns.

We partnered with American computer scientist Bill Inmon. Known as the “Father of the Data Warehouse,” he has much to say about HTAP and why it’s nothing more than a pie-in-the-sky vision of sorts.

BigQuery BI Engine is a fast, in-memory analysis system for BigQuery currently processing over 2 billion queries per month and growing. BigQuery has its roots in Google's Dremel system and is a data warehouse built with scalability as a goal. On the other hand BI Engine was envisioned with data analysts in mind and focuses on providing value on Gigabyte to sub-Terabyte datasets, with minimal tuning, for real time analytics and BI purposes.

With more than a billion players worldwide, online games are a significant cultural, social, and economic phenomenon.

That puts social functionality front and center when it comes to the difference between an ongoing hit and an expensive flash in the pan. And players are quite particular about how they want to engage with others.

It’s already 2023, and as we all know, software testing has advanced significantly. But it doesn’t imply we should ignore the fundamentals or the basics. The “7 Software Testing Principles” are such basics that we should always adhere to. You may have studied these concepts as part of your ISTQB certification training when you started your testing career. Did you just forget about them after reading the book, as you did with previous theoretical papers?

You can now generate HTML test reports and display them in the Artifacts tabs with Bitrise builds.

A case for using the data warehouse as a middleman for all point-to-point integration workflows.

The role of the CDO will not suffer the slow rise to prominence other emerging C-level roles have seen in previous years.
