An Overview of Streaming Analytics in AWS for Logging Applications

Streaming analytics in AWS gives enterprises the ability to process and analyze log data in real time, enabling use cases that range from delivering personalized customer experiences to anomaly and fraud detection, application troubleshooting, and user behavior analysis. In the past, real-time log analytics solutions could process just a few thousand records per second and it would still take minutes or hours to process the data and get answers.

A Simplified Guide to Cloud Data Platform Architecture

Since the 2006 launch of Amazon Web Services (AWS), the world’s first hyper-scale public cloud provider, thousands of data-driven businesses have shifted on-premise data storage and analytics workloads into the cloud by architecting or adopting a cloud data platform. As the volume, variety, and velocity of enterprise data continues to grow in 2023, cloud data platforms with legacy tech and complex architectures are becoming increasingly time-consuming and costly to manage.

Cloud Object Storage-based Architectures are Natively Scalable and Available

There is a long history of clustering architectures with respect to building distributed databases for two primary reasons. The first is scalability. If a cluster of nodes has reached its capacity to perform work, adding additional nodes are introduced to handle the increased load. The second is availability. The ability to ensure that if a node fails, let’s say during ingestion and/or querying, remaining nodes would continue to execute due to state replication.

How to Integrate BI and Data Visualization Tools with a Data Lake

For the past 30 years, the primary data source for business intelligence (BI) and data visualization tools has generally been either a data warehouse or a data mart. But as enterprises today struggle to cope with the growing complexity, scale, and speed of data, it’s becoming clear that the data tools of 30 years ago weren’t designed to handle the enterprise data management challenges of today - especially with the growing variety and amounts of data that enterprises are generating.

Unlocking the Power of Data Catalogs with a Cloud Data Platform

If you use a data lake, chances are you need a way to keep your data searchable for business users. When combined with the analytics capabilities of a cloud data platform, a data catalog can solve some of the common pain points around “data swamps,” where users fail to gain any meaningful insights from their data. Some of a business’s most valuable assets lie within its data.

What is DataOps? Leveraging Telemetry Data for Product-Led Growth

Any data-driven organization will tell you that the holy grail is faster time to insights. But the unfortunate truth is that business users often have to wait days — even weeks or months — to analyze the data they need. Behind the scenes, data engineering teams put a lot of work into joining disparate datasets, creating pipelines, and delivering a final data product back to their stakeholders for analysis.

The 7 Costly and Complex Challenges of Big Data Analytics

re:Invent 2022 is just around the corner and we couldn’t be more excited to share the latest ChaosSearch innovations and capabilities with our current and future customers in the AWS ecosystem. Enterprise DevOps teams, SREs, and data engineers everywhere are struggling to navigate the growing costs and complexity of big data analytics, particularly when it comes to operational data.

Episode 7 | Data Lifecycle | 7 Challenges of Big Data Analytics

What is a data lifecycle? From birth to death, from source to destination, data seems to always be on a journey. If storage and compute were free or there were no laws like the “Right to be Forgotten” within policies such as “General Data Protection Regulation” or GDPR for short, organizations might never delete information. However, at scale data gets extremely expensive and customers do have liberties with regards to governance and sovereignty. Often it is the case that platforms have whole controls and procedures around the lifecycle of data. And in this episode, we will focus on the complexity of scale when it comes to the day in the life of data.

Episode 6 | Data Analytics | 7 Challenges of Big Data Analytics

The first 5 challenges of #bigdataanalytics have been solved, bringing us closer to the end of the #datajourney. And here is where it starts getting real: Data Analytics. Today, there are struggles between operational and business analysis departments. SQL and ML functionality natively without data movement or duplication. How can you access and share the data timely, and efficiently, without data movement or duplication or an insane cost increase? Thomas Hazel shares his insights on how any organization can overcome this challenge, easily.
