It's summer of 1997, and I’m seven years old. I’ve just finished typing up my last homework assignment of the year, and a few loud keyboard taps later, it’s saved to a floppy disk, ready for printing at the school library. I grab my headphones and press play on my Walkman: Fleetwood Mac – Rumors.

We’re constantly bombarded by data points and it takes real effort to make sense of them. While having a lot of information is a good thing, it’s easy to get overwhelmed and miss what’s really important. Businesses especially need to be able to sort the wheat from the chaff and assess their data accurately. But, how do you go about this exactly?

Aside from its depiction of a charming-but-homicidal AI, 2001: A Space Odyssey is perhaps best remembered for its monoliths. Seemingly out of nowhere, these perfectly smooth and space-black slabs compel prehistoric apes—and later, an advanced team of astronauts—forward to touch and understand them. To see into whatever secrets they might contain. The film stays purposely ambiguous about the meaning of these monoliths.

Geospatial data can give a business a competitive edge — especially when it’s combined with the company’s own data resources. Considering a new store location? You’ll want to analyze not just where your nearest competitors and potential customers are, but also retail footfall numbers, historical traffic patterns, distance from distribution centers, environmental factors, potential delivery times to customers and more. You need geospatial data to make it all happen.

Fivetran and Databricks bring you machine learning, simplified.

Achieving product-led growth (PLG) is a continuous goal for independent software vendors (ISVs) and enterprises aiming to scale efficiently and sustainably. The challenge is differentiating your product enough in a crowded market to retain users, and unlock new revenue streams. Traditional approaches to product-led growth often fall short in meeting the dynamic needs of today's data-driven users, who seek immediate, actionable insights within the applications they use.

While the cloud facilitates quicker and easier completion of tasks, it’s important to use resources efficiently. Careless usage can lead to high costs over time. Choreo’s new scale-to-zero feature allows you to minimize costs by scaling down application resource usage to almost zero when not in active use. This capability is a significant step forward towards apps being more resource-conscious and cost-effective.
