Feed: Blog – Hazelcast. Author: Dan Ortega. Stream processing refers to real-time management of data entering a banking system (or any information system, actually) at high speed and volume, usually from a broad range of sources. The “management” aspect means data is wholly or partially processed and contextualized before entering an in-memory (operational) system, where pre-processing can significantly accelerate response times. Before in-memory technologies, transactional data was managed as a batch process and analyzed every hour, once a day, etc., depending on the data involved, the bank’s policies for handling data, regulatory and compliance requirements, and so on. While having ... Read More

Like most other popular Linux distributions, Debian prefers MariaDB over the Oracle owned alternative and this is now the second major release of Debian that only ships with MariaDB, and no MySQL at all. Anybody attempting to run apt install mysql-server will end up with MariaDB server instead and any upgrades from older MySQL versions to new ... Read More

Feed: AWS Big Data Blog. Modern data lakes depend on extract, transform, and load (ETL) operations to convert bulk information into usable data. This post walks through implementing an ETL orchestration process that is loosely coupled using AWS Step Functions, AWS Lambda, and AWS Batch to target an Amazon Redshift cluster.Because Amazon Redshift uses columnar storage, it is well suited for fast analytical insights using the convenient ANSI SQL queries. You can rapidly scale your Amazon Redshift clusters up and down in minutes to meet the demanding workloads for both your end-user reports and timely data refresh into the data ... Read More

Feed: AWS for SAP. Author: KK Ramamoorthy. Our customers who run SAP workloads on Amazon Web Services (AWS) are also invested in data and analytics transformations by using data lake solutions on AWS. These customers can use various third-party solutions to extract data from their SAP applications. However, to increase performance and reduce cost, they’re also asking for native integrations that use AWS solutions.A common pattern that these customers use for extracting data from SAP applications is through IDoc Interface/Electronic Data Interchange. SAP NetWeaver ABAP-based systems have supported IDocs for a long time and are a very stable framework that ... Read More

Feed: Planet big data. Author: Boris Evelson. I recently had the privilege (not to mention a lot of fun) to participate in a brainstorming session with a large enterprise software vendor and my esteemed colleagues John Rymer, Rob Koplowitz, and Jeffrey Hammond on the topic of low-code app dev. It’s not a well-known fact (but Forrester has been publicizing it for a while and will continue to do so) that many modern enterprise business intelligence (BI) platforms can and are being used as low-code app dev platforms. In addition to building purely analytical apps — what BI platforms have been ... Read More

Feed: AWS Partner Network (APN) Blog. Author: Mike Deck. By Mike Deck, Principal Solutions Architect at AWSModern cloud applications enable companies to make informed decisions using real-time data from a variety of sources, including their own applications, AWS services, and Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) applications. Accessing all of this data can be challenging for developers because they need to write code to access the Application Programming Interface (API) for each application. As the number of applications in an enterprise increases, the number of point-to-point connections grows exponentially and becomes complex to manage. Many companies address this challenge by polling applications for data ... Read More
