Feed: AWS Public Sector Blog. Author: Laura Dawson. Governments have similar problems and are not in competition so using technology that others have developed and made freely available via open source to transform essential services makes sense. To make open source solutions easier to find for governments, Amazon Web Services (AWS) recently created an online repository: Open Government Solutions. This provides everything from policy templates for spend controls to open-source code and digital services developed by governments. “Open source tools allow governments to gain access to the best thinking and tools that are available and then quickly customize them to ...

Feed: Planet PostgreSQL. Having explored one fork in the path (Elasticsearch and Kibana) in the previous pipeline blog series (here is part 5), in this blog we backtrack to the junction to explore the alternative path (PostgreSQL and Apache Superset). But we’ve lost our map (aka the JSON Schema)—so let’s hope we don’t get lost or attacked by mutant radioactive monsters.Fork in an abandoned uranium mine(Source: Shutterstock)Just to recap how we got here, here’s the Kafka source connector -> Kafka -> Kafka sink connector -> Elasticsearch -> Kibana technology pipeline we built in the previous blog series:And here’s the blueprint ...

While the use and scope of open source data science continues to grow, we still sometimes hear from RStudio users and customers that they face some opposition, or at least questions, from IT or other stakeholders when championing a code-first, open source approach. Of course, thousands of organizations have adopted open source ... Read More

I remember when I first got into Python and heard about Anaconda. It wasn’t really clear to me if Anaconda was a “dialect” of Python code, a really awesome suite of tools for working with Python, or something else. What is a distribution, anyway? Turns out that Anaconda is first and foremost ... Read More

Feed: Planet PostgreSQL. Part of the release engineering process at Swarm64 is to run performance benchmarks that assure us new versions of Swarm64 DA and PG Nitrous cause PostgreSQL performance to improve and not regress. We run TPC-H and TPC-DS benchmarks to measure query-intensive analytic (OLAP) performance. For mixed workloads such as hybrid analytic transaction processing (HTAP) or transaction-enhanced analytics (TEA), we’ve developed a new open source benchmark that I’ll describe below. All of our benchmarks are open source and available in the Swarm64 DA benchmark toolkit on Github. What is HTAP and why does it matter to PostgreSQL users? ... Read More

Feed: What's New. Author: Razi Sharir, Brian Dirking. If we’ve learned anything in the past year, it’s how much our progress hinges on the ability to share and collaborate around data.  During the pandemic, we watched as scientists from around the world raced to develop COVID-19 vaccines in record time. A process that typically takes 10 to 15 years took less than a year—due in part to global collaboration and data sharing.   As we transition to the post-COVID-19 era, the “need for speed has never been greater,” says McKinsey. The organizations that will thrive in this new economy will ... Read More

Feed: Recent Announcements. At re:Invent 2020, AWS announced the preview of AWS SaaS Boost, an open source tool that helps software developers migrate their existing solutions to a Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) delivery model. SaaS Boost significantly offloads development effort by accelerating application transformation to SaaS, freeing up software developers to focus on features that differentiate their products. After receiving interest from hundreds of developers in the project, today we’re pleased to announce its public availability on GitHub. All SaaS products need the foundational capabilities to onboard users, provision infrastructure for tenants, monitor consumption trends, configure tenant profiles, integrate with a billing ...
