We built Kong to handle any API at any level of scale, but running APIs at scale means storing and managing data at scale. That’s why we’ve always recommended Apache Cassandra for the biggest Kong deployments. Cassandra is powerful and proven, but it does require some skill to install and operate – which is why we’re excited to hear that Datastax is making Cassandra easy to use at any level of scale with DataStax Astra, a Database-as-a-Service built on Apache Cassandra.

“When you’re working from home you should try and do it systematically and methodologically”, says John Bennett a veteran work-at-homer. “It’s a lot like running a business from home, which is what I do”.

Working with Rookout customers, I have noticed a significant pattern in how they describe engineering routines in the days before our software became a part of their daily workflow. It shows up in various engineering tasks such as developing new features, reproducing and fixing bugs, or even just documenting the existing system and how to best utilize it.

There are many reasons to run a big data distribution, such as Cloudera Data Hub (CDH) and Hortonworks Data Platform (HDP), in the cloud with Infrastructure-as-a-Service (IaaS). The main reason is agility. When the business needs to onboard a new use case, a data admin can bring on additional virtual infrastructure to their clusters in the cloud in minutes or hours. With an on-prem cluster, it may take weeks or months to add the infrastructure capacity for the new use cases.

2020 isn’t half done and society has already changed fundamentally. The COVID-19 pandemic has forced many people into unemployment because customers can’t visit their stores anymore. When revenue drops, business owners have to ask themselves: What part of their workforce is crucial to operating the company?

But what happens when you have 100s of data points? What if your data source is noisy? That's when it's helpful to use a technique called linear regression. In this article Julie Kent shows us how linear regression works, and walks through a practical example in Ruby.
