We are continuing our blog series about implementing real-time log aggregation with the help of Flink. In the first part of the series we reviewed why it is important to gather and analyze logs from long-running distributed jobs in real-time. We also looked at a fairly simple solution for storing logs in Kafka using configurable appenders only. As a reminder let’s review our pipeline again
Last September, the revised Payment Services Directive 2 (PSD2) went into full effect, shifting open banking from futurism to a regulatory requirement for retail banks. But the EU is not alone in wanting to open up consumers’ financial data via APIs (application programming interfaces) to trusted Third Party Providers (TPPs).

At the end of the year, I like to look back at what new discoveries I've made and lessons I've learnt as a QA engineer. 2019 has proved to be a bonanza year, with some startling changes in direction for Test and with new technologies and methodologies making a break into the mainstream.
“Software is eating the world” is no longer a hopeful vision. It’s happening. It’s here. Software is driving the world’s most important technological trends, and 2020 will prove to be an inflection point for several of them.

A pillar of 3rd-Generation BI, “Democratization of Data,” is the critical first step in maximizing the value of your BI solution. But, this means more than just simply opening up the information floodgates. That is not a formula for success.

Themes make the entirety of WordPress. You can’t find a WordPress site without an instance of theming applied. The most popular theme of all time, Avada, has made over 12 Million dollars from selling at the initial price of $60! We’re not here to throw some internet facts on you for fun (although these are worth your time!).

Editor's note: Today we hear from Brad Plothow and Mihir Sambhus from Womply, a software-as-a-service company that makes CRM, email marketing, and reputation management software for small businesses.
