Feed: The Connector by Workato. Author: Jon Gitlin; The performance of any automation hinges on the workflow behind it. A poorly-designed workflow can prevent employees from receiving the equipment and devices they need, when they need them; it can lead to sales reps failing to contact leads quickly; it can cause customer success managers to unintentionally neglect clients who are at risk of churning—and a whole lot more. To help ensure your workflow automations behave the way you want, you’ll need to use an enterprise automation platform’s visual workflow builder.  This type of builder allows non-technical users with deep business ...

Feed: Recent Announcements. Today, we announced the Amazon Genomics CLI has added Snakemake to its catalog of workflow management tools for genomics analysis, which also includes Cromwell, Nextflow, and miniWDL. Inspired by GNU Make, Snakemake specifies workflows as rules that breakdown the workflow into smaller steps of dependencies. Snakemake automatically determines dependencies between rules and also provides additional controls via python-based rule definition syntactic structures. The benefits of reproducibility and transparency that workflow management tools, like Snakemake, provide are realized at scale via the Amazon Genomics CLI. Amazon Genomics CLI simplifies and automates the deployment of cloud resources like workflow engines and ... Read More

Feed: AWS Big Data Blog. A key benefit of a data mesh architecture is allowing different lines of business (LOBs) and organizational units to operate independently and offer their data as a product. This model not only allows organizations to scale, but also gives the end-to-end ownership of maintaining the product to data producers that are the domain experts of the data. This ownership entails maintaining the data pipelines, debugging ETL scripts, fixing data quality issues, and keeping the catalog entries up to date as the dataset evolves over time. On the consumer side, teams can search the central catalog ... Read More

Feed: AWS Architecture Blog. The relational database is a critical resource in application architecture. Enterprise organizations often use relational database management systems (RDBMS) to provide embedded workflow state management. But this can present problems, such as inefficient use of data storage and compute resources, performance issues, and decreased agility. Add to this the responsibility of managing workflow states through custom triggers and job-based algorithms, which further exacerbate the performance constraints of the database. The complexity of modern workflows, frequency of runtime, and external dependencies encourages us to seek alternatives to using these database mechanisms. This blog describes how to use ...
