Feed: Actian. Author: Lewis Carr. And why is it better than a Data Lake or an Analytics Hub? In the opening installment of this blog series—Data Lakes, Data Warehouses and Data Hubs: Do we need another choice?  I explore why simply migrating these on-prem data integration, management, and analytics platforms to the Cloud does not fully address modern data analytics needs. In comparing these three platforms, it becomes clear that while all of them meet certain critical needs, none of them meet the needs of business end-users without significant support from IT. What we in fact need is a platform ... Read More

Feed: AWS Compute Blog. Author: James Beswick. This post is written by Tim Bruce, Sr. Solutions Architect, Developer Acceleration. Game development is a highly iterative process with rapidly changing requirements. Many game developers want to maximize the time spent building features and less time configuring servers, managing infrastructure, and mastering scale. AWS Serverless provides four key benefits for customers. First, it can help move from idea to market faster, by reducing operational overhead. Second, customers may realize lower costs with serverless by not over-provisioning hardware and software to operate. Third, serverless scales with user activity. Finally, serverless services provide built-in ... Read More

Feed: Planet MySQL; Author: MySQL Performance Blog; Point-In-Time Recovery (PITR) for MySQL databases is an important feature that is essential and covers common use cases, like a recovery to the latest possible transaction or roll-back the database to a specific date before some bad query was executed. Percona Kubernetes Operator for Percona XtraDB Cluster (PXC) added support for PITR in version 1.7, and in this blog post we are going to look into the technical details and decisions we made to implement this feature. Architecture Decisions Store Binary Logs on Object Storage MySQL uses binary logs to perform point-in-time recovery ... Read More

Feed: AWS Public Sector Blog. Author: Mark Schreiber. Amazon Web Services (AWS) announced the custom built Arm-based Graviton series of instances for Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (Amazon EC2) in 2018. The second series, Graviton2 instances, utilize 64-bit Arm Neoverse cores and deliver up to 40 percent better price performance over comparable current generation x86-based instances. At re:Invent 2020, AWS added to the ARM portfolio with Graviton2-based C6g compute and R6g database instances. The AWS Cloud gives genomics researchers access to a wide variety of instance types and chip architectures and this elasticity allows us to rethink genomics workflows when running ... Read More

Feed: AWS Big Data Blog. Streaming data is used extensively for use cases like sharing data between applications, streaming ETL (extract, transform, and load), real-time analytics, processing data from internet of things (IoT) devices, application monitoring, fraud detection, live leaderboards, and more. Typically, data streams are stored for short durations of time before being loaded into a permanent data store like a data lake or analytics service. Additional use cases are becoming more prevalent that may require you retain data in streams for longer periods of time. For example, compliance programs like HIPAA and FedRAMP may require you to store ... Read More

Feed: AWS Compute Blog. Author: James Beswick. In the Operating Lambda series, I cover important topics for developers, architects, and systems administrators who are managing AWS Lambda-based applications. This two-part series discusses core security concepts for Lambda-based applications. In the AWS Cloud, the most important foundational security principle is the shared responsibility model. This broadly shares security responsibilities between AWS and our customers. AWS is responsible for “security of the cloud”, such as the underlying physical infrastructure and facilities providing the services. Customers are responsible for “security in the cloud”, which includes applying security best practices, controlling access, and taking ... Read More
