Our VP of Product previews the next stage in the evolution of Fivetran.

Matt and I are out in Los Angeles this week for KubeCon 2021 this week. At the GitOpsCon event Tuesday we were excited to attend this Kubernetes session: GitOps in the Real World: Opportunities for Developer Experience Improvement

Whether you’re building web or mobile apps, quality assurance is a non-stop cycle of corrections, updates, and improvements. And, QA takes time. But with crowd testing, you can quickly identify software issues, fix them, and release them with confidence. Some call it crowdsourced or crowd testing. Testlio calls it networked testing. It’s an efficient way to utilize a crowd of testers to ensure complete coverage.

In the face of increased demand and competition, software development teams are expected to iterate faster each project sprint. Iterating faster creates a market advantage because it means you can adjust quickly to evolving market conditions, changing end-user sentiment, and an unforeseeable black swan (like a global pandemic). However, increased software delivery speed cannot come at the expense of a high-quality end-user experience.

According to a study by Seagate, only 32% of data available to enterprises is put to work. The remaining 68% is unleveraged. One of the challenges noted is: making the different silos of collected data available. Using automation to bring together figures from disparate systems helps leaders make confident and reliable decisions backed by real-time information. This overview discusses how to use CDC Change Data Capture to enable real-time analysis.

With tech constantly innovating, various tools and software need to be able to work simultaneously. API's are what makes this possible. The API provides software with a way to interact and communicate. This is how different applications connect, whether it's two internal apps or integrating an app into another company's platform. However, with APIs, as in any software integration, many challenges are likely to arise. To mitigate these challenges, an API management strategy should be in place.

Quite often, the digital natives of the family — you — have to explain to the analog fans of the family what PDFs are, how to use a hashtag, a phone camera, or a remote. Imagine if you had to explain what machine learning is and how to use it. There’s no need to panic. Cloudera produced a series of ebooks — Production Machine Learning For Dummies, Apache NiFi For Dummies, and Apache Flink For Dummies (coming soon) — to help simplify even the most complex tech topics.

According to Domo, on average, every human created at least 1.7 MB of data per second in 2020. That’s a lot of data. For enterprises the net result is an intricate data management challenge that’s not about to get any less complex anytime soon. Enterprises need to find a way of getting insights from this vast treasure trove of data into the hands of the people that need it. For relatively low amounts of data, public cloud is a possible path for some organizations.

The LiveView framework supports all of the most common features that Single-Page Apps must offer their users, including multipart uploads. In fact, LiveView can give us highly interactive file uploads, right out of the box. In this post, we’ll add a file upload feature to an existing Phoenix LiveView application. Along the way, you’ll learn how to use LiveView to display upload progress and feedback while editing and saving uploaded files.
