Automated data governance is a relatively new concept that is fundamentally altering data governance practices. Traditionally, organizations have relied on manual processes to ensure effective data governance. This approach has given governance a reputation as a restrictive discipline. But, as organizations increasingly adopt automation in their governance processes, this perception is changing.

The mid-sized enterprise is the fastest-growing market opportunity for data storage. But not just any storage system will do. These days, mid-sized enterprises must handle the complexities of unremitting data growth and distributed infrastructure, meet sustainability goals, manage the diverse storage needs of mission-critical applications, and respond to user requirements. Oh, and they need uninterrupted access to their data no matter what.

In the digital age, data is the lifeblood of organizations, driving strategies, innovation, and decisions. However, harnessing its power requires more than just collecting the data. It demands meticulous management of data quality, governance, and lineage. These pillars form the backbone of informed decision-making, enabling organizations to transform raw data into actionable insights. According to Gartner, poor data quality costs organizations an average of $12.9 million every year.

As government agencies work to improve both customer experience and operational efficiency, two tools have become critical: cloud services and data. Confluent and Amazon Web Services (AWS) have collaborated to make the move to and management of cloud easier while also enabling data streaming for real-time insights and action. We’ll be at the AWS Public Sector Summit in Washington, DC on June 26-27 to talk about and demo how our solutions work together.

API downtime can cost businesses an average of $140,000 to $540,000 per hour. Maintaining reliable and high-performing APIs has become critical for any digital business’s success, with much at stake. This scenario is where API monitoring steps in. An important part of API management, monitoring API metrics allows organizations to detect issues rapidly and optimize their API performance.

Data lineage is an important concept in data governance. It outlines the path data takes from its source to its destination. Understanding data lineage helps increase transparency and decision-making for organizations reliant on data. This complete guide examines data lineage and its significance for teams. It also covers the difference between data lineage and other important data governance terms and common data lineage techniques.

Hadoop. The first time that I really became familiar with this term was at Hadoop World in New York City some ten or so years ago. There were thousands of attendees at the event – lining up for book signings and meetings with recruiters to fill the endless job openings for developers experienced with MapReduce and managing Big Data. This was the gold rush of the 21st century, except the gold was data.
