Applications architected as microservices are becoming more prevalent every day, but just like their monolithic ancestors, microservice applications must adhere to organization-wide constraints around compliance, security, performance, etc. Authorization — controlling which people and machines can perform which actions — is a foundational security problem that requires new solutions in a microservice world because of changes in requirements around performance, availability and even where authorization gets enforced architecturally.

With data becoming the main asset of a business, one of the biggest challenges is how to successfully leverage data to gain a business advantage. In the modern Data Eco System people with different skills set need to collaborate and work together to achieve their data objectives. How does a modern analytics team with data scientists, business analysts and data engineers work together? How are technologies such as Machine Learning, Big data and Cloud come together in a productive way.

Nicole discusses how to stream the results of load tests run locally to the k6 Cloud and how to recreate a stepped load profile using k6, compared to a load testing tool like JMeter. Note from Nicole: I realized after this video that I was mixing `let` and `var` in this video. They have different implications on scope, and I would recommend you use `let` or `const` in your own scripts. Also, there are other ways to achieve the stepped load profile, but this is one way to do it.

COVID-19 has hit our country hard, and the healthcare industry is still reeling from national attention on the blatant disparity of the effects of COVID-19 in specific underserved populations. Recognizing the disparity, healthcare leaders continue to struggle with interoperability and data sharing; we must free the data and move beyond the debate of public or private cloud. It’s time to prepare for the eventuality of leveraging all available cloud environments to handle the data workload and application needs to end digital disparity in healthcare.

Jumpstarting the digitalization of business, Babu Kuttala, Chief Data and Analytics Officer at ABB, details how he came into his role, his influence in different markets, & how he grows and simplifies ABB's use of internal and external data. Rise of the Data Cloud is brought to you by Snowflake.

So you've run your first load test. Now what? Nicole talks about how to use k6's performance thresholds to determine the success of your test, the importance of comparing tests with a baseline, and why you should be including load tests in your continuous integration pipelines.
