In iOS, WebSockets enable real-time communication between a client (an iOS app) and a server. Unlike traditional HTTP connections which are stateless, short-lived and request data on demand, WebSockets use a single long-lived connection to send and receive data simultaneously. This significantly reduces response times which is crucial for apps that rely on instant updates and live data to support functions such as chat and multiplayer games.

In this post, we'll add file upload capabilities to a Phoenix LiveView application and directly upload files to Amazon S3. Without further ado, let's get started!

We’re excited to share the latest and greatest features on Confluent Cloud, in our first launch of 2024. This Cloud Launch comes to you from Kafka Summit London, where we talked about the latest updates highlighted in our launch, including serverless Apache Flink®, some exciting pricing changes, updates to connectors, and more! We also shared our vision for a future offering, Tableflow.

Last year, we announced our plan to build a cloud-native Apache Flink® service to meet the growing demand for scalable and efficient stream processing solutions in the cloud. Today, we're thrilled to announce the general availability of Confluent Cloud for Apache Flink across all three major clouds. This means that you can now experience Apache Kafka® and Flink as a unified, enterprise-grade platform to connect and process your data in real time, wherever you need it.

We’re excited to talk about our vision for Tableflow, which makes it push-button simple to take Apache Kafka® data and feed it directly into your data lake, warehouse, or analytics engine as Apache Iceberg® tables. Making operational data accessible to the analytical world is traditionally a complex, expensive, and brittle process and we believe we can do better to unify the operational and analytical estates.

Many companies talk about cloud integration in a theoretical way. But cloud technologies aren’t theoretical. They’re a rapidly growing segment of technology that’s changing the way businesses operate. In the following article, we move from theory to practice so you can have a more realistic vision of what to expect when you move more of your on-site tech to the cloud.

With the GA of Apache Spark stored procedures in BigQuery, users can extend their queries with Spark-based data processing via BigQuery APIs.

Enterprise Strategy Group compared BigQuery to alternative cloud-based enterprise data warehouse solutions.

If you’ve been following our news, you know we just announced free fractional GPU capabilities for open source users, enabling multi-tenancy for NVIDIA GPUs and allowing users to optimize their GPU utilization to support multiple AI workloads as part of our open source and free tier offering.

Welcome back to Yellowfin Japan’s ‘How to?’ blog series! In our previous blog, we went through how to create big number and vertical column charts in Yellowfin, and the many different charting options available in Yellowfin Canvas. Before we re-visit our regular series, we want to share a shorter dashboard walkthrough.
