Why developers should use Apache Pulsar

Apache Pulsar is an open source streaming platform that addresses some important limitations in Kafka, particularly for cloud-native applications.

The value of time series data and TSDBs

Time series data key insights in domains ranging from science and medicine to systems monitoring and industrial IoT. Understand time series data and the databases designed to ingest, store, and analyze time series data.

Why developers use Confluent to manage Apache Kafka

How the fully managed Kafka service can bring peace and simplicity to the lives of those who depend on event streaming infrastructure.

PostgreSQL benefits and challenges: A snapshot

PostgreSQL continues to improve in ways that meet the needs of even the most complex, mission-critical use cases. It also presents certain challenges.

ProxyJump is safer than SSH agent forwarding

ProxyJump forwards the stdin and stdout of the local client to the destination host, allowing us to set up jump servers without giving them direct SSH access.

Striking a balance with ‘open’ at Snowflake

At Snowflake, we fully embrace the value of open standards and open source. But we strive to avoid misguided applications of open that create costly complexity instead of low-cost ease of use.

Understanding the process automation landscape

Processes and process automation take many forms. Here’s how to navigate the growing ecosystem of tools for automating everything from simple repetitive tasks to complex custom workflows.

How a digital integration hub transforms the mainframe

An in-memory digital integration hub enables flexible, real-time information flow between mainframes and external systems, unlocking mainframe data for digital transformation.

Make life easy with ssh_config

You can avoid command line tedium and simplify access to a fleet of servers by creating a flexible configuration file for your SSH client. Here’s how.

What is a computational storage drive? Much-needed help for CPUs

As Moore’s Law loses steam, off-loading data compression, data encryption, low-level data data processing, and other heavy-duty computation tasks to storage nodes makes sense. Here’s how that would work.

The COVID pandemic’s lasting impact on cloud usage

9 out of 10 companies have accelerated their cloud adoption in response to the coronavirus pandemic, with corresponding increases in cloud spend—and waste.

What is unified policy as code, and why do you need it?

By decoupling policy from applications, policy as code allows you to change the coding for policy without changing the coding for apps. Translation: reliability, uptime, and efficiency.

4 key tests for your AI explainability toolkit

Enterprise-grade explainability solutions provide fundamental transparency into how machine learning models make decisions, as well as broader assessments of model quality and fairness. Is yours up to the job?

What we just learned about data science — and what’s next

The past 12 months have revealed how valuable data science can be while also exposing its limitations. Expect big advances in the year to come.

Containers need standard operating environments too

A standard operating environment can reduce the time it takes to deploy, configure, maintain, support, and manage containerized applications. Let’s get SOEs and containers back together.

Out-of-this-world monitoring with InfluxDB and React

Build a React application to track the orbit of the International Space Station using Telegraf, InfluxDB, ExpressJS, and Giraffe.

How Aerospike achieves fine-grained global replication

Aerospike’s Cross-Datacenter Replication with Expressions makes it easy to route the right data at the right time across global applications to meet compliance mandates and reduce server, cloud, and bandwidth costs.
