When the world went remote, studios needed to limit the number of people on set. To support the shift to remote work, teams needed to learn and implement new software tools. Game technology — like Unreal Engine and Unity — were powerful enough to meet the demands for this rapidly changing industry. But what else does a virtual production setup need?

In previous posts, we covered the basics of a C++ Microservices deployment including: With those basics in place, this blog will focus on optimization of the container in a C++ Microservices deployment. We'll examine how to structure the Dockerfile and the resulting Docker image to reduce the number of layers and disk space used.

Optimizing server performance is important in supporting end-user requirements. Using server optimization, actively monitor: Web server monitoring and optimization helps you to troubleshoot bottlenecks as they emerge and optimize server performance. In this post, we will discuss how to optimize performance and why it is important.

Since the data lake concept emerged more than a decade ago, data lakes have been pitched as the solution to many of the woes surrounding traditional data management solutions, like databases and data warehouses. Data lakes, we have been told, are more scalable, better able to accommodate widely varying types of data, cheaper to build and so on. Much of that is true, at least theoretically.

Heroku is a powerful PaaS that helps developers easily and quickly launch and scale modern applications. In addition to its base features, it also offers Heroku Elements Marketplace, which has add-ons for expanding the functionality of the base platform. While Heroku has built-in logging for your applications in this platform, you may find that the default interface leaves something to be desired.

In October 2020, Cloudera made a strategic acquisition of a company called Eventador. This was primarily to augment our streaming capabilities within Cloudera DataFlow. Eventador was adept at simplifying the process of building streaming applications. Their flagship product, SQL Stream Builder, made access to real-time data streams easily possible with just SQL (Structured Query Language).

By 2025, Gartner predicts data stories will be the most widespread way of consuming analytics. It’s far from a fad - it’s a part of modern analytics you can’t afford to overlook. However, are you still unsure of what data storytelling is, or why there's a sudden buzz?

We’ve been working a lot behind the scenes for this release because we wanted to address the license sharing issue. Up until today it was only possible to ask us to share the license for you and sharing could only share every license you own. We had to completely refactor the way we handle licenses to allow you to decide on your own to share all or a fraction of your subscriptions. But that’s not all, we also worked on a VU validation with multiple iterations.

At this point, we can pretty confidently project that the cloud isn’t going anywhere. In the last few years, we’ve seen critical production workloads move to the cloud en masse—and that’s only going to continue. Now that the shift has occurred, other companies will need to get on board as well. The question is no longer if a company should adopt cloud but when and how. Ajeet Singh, ThoughtSpot’s Co-founder and Executive Chairman, is no stranger to embracing change.

As cloud-based tools handle the grunt work of ETL, data engineers will be rewarded with thinking bigger.
