With the increasing importance of real-time data in modern businesses, companies are leveraging distributed streaming platforms to process and analyze data streams in real time. Many companies are also transitioning to the cloud, which is often a gradual process that takes several years and involves incremental stages. During this transition, many companies adopt hybrid cloud architectures, either temporarily or permanently.

In the previous blog post we covered the high availability feature of Cloudera Operational Database (COD) in Amazon AWS. Cloudera recently released a new version of COD, which adds HA support to Microsoft Azure-based databases in the Cloud.

Imagine your software transforming from merely a tool into a strategic partner that can automatically alert your users to trends, provide explanations of data with a click, and help you ask the right questions of your data-sets - in addition to delivering data-led insights. This is the power of AI analytics solutions for independent software vendors (ISV). Today's users demand more than just functionality. They crave intelligent software that analyzes data, surfaces insights, and empowers them to act.

From personal AI to the data that’ll train it, browse our bets on how AI develops in 2024 and beyond.

API testing is a critical part of the software development lifecycle. If you’re not performance testing your APIs, you’re putting your entire system at risk. API testing is the process of verifying and validating the functionality, reliability, performance, and security of an API to ensure it meets its requirements and behaves as expected. This guide will discuss the importance of testing and how to test APIs.

Why does API architecture matter, and how can you excel at it? It’s an important question to ask as you are trying to improve existing APIs or write new ones. In this article, we will create a high-level roadmap to understanding the foundations of API architecture, from API Gateways and data management to architectural styles like RESTful and GraphQL. We will look at best practices to enhance scalability and security and look closer at tools that support robust API development.
