Making sense of the ever-growing mountains of data is a challenge that organizations of all sizes face today. This article explores the powerful synergy between data warehousing and business intelligence, demonstrating how they work hand-in-hand to transform raw data into actionable insights. We’ll also delve into the role of APIs in facilitating real-time data integration and automation. Here are the key things to know about data warehousing and business intelligence: Table of Contents.

It's summer of 1997, and I’m seven years old. I’ve just finished typing up my last homework assignment of the year, and a few loud keyboard taps later, it’s saved to a floppy disk, ready for printing at the school library. I grab my headphones and press play on my Walkman: Fleetwood Mac – Rumors.

Let’s start at the very beginning, so it’s clear exactly what we’re talking about here – in Swift, networking is the process of sending and receiving data between an iOS application and a remote server or another device over the internet.

Geospatial data can give a business a competitive edge — especially when it’s combined with the company’s own data resources. Considering a new store location? You’ll want to analyze not just where your nearest competitors and potential customers are, but also retail footfall numbers, historical traffic patterns, distance from distribution centers, environmental factors, potential delivery times to customers and more. You need geospatial data to make it all happen.

Hanami is a relatively new full-stack Ruby web framework. Unlike Rails, which has many default assumptions about how an app should be built, Hanami promises developer freedom by not imposing too many such defaults. The framework is also blazingly fast due to its low memory footprint and focus on minimalism. Combine that with a focus on strict abstractions, and you get a fully-featured Ruby framework that could rival Rails for building some applications, such as APIs and micro-services.

Achieving product-led growth (PLG) is a continuous goal for independent software vendors (ISVs) and enterprises aiming to scale efficiently and sustainably. The challenge is differentiating your product enough in a crowded market to retain users, and unlock new revenue streams. Traditional approaches to product-led growth often fall short in meeting the dynamic needs of today's data-driven users, who seek immediate, actionable insights within the applications they use.

While the cloud facilitates quicker and easier completion of tasks, it’s important to use resources efficiently. Careless usage can lead to high costs over time. Choreo’s new scale-to-zero feature allows you to minimize costs by scaling down application resource usage to almost zero when not in active use. This capability is a significant step forward towards apps being more resource-conscious and cost-effective.
