Feed: DivvyCloud. Author: David Mundy; This misconfiguration epidemic has seen the theft or loss of more than 14 billion data records in the last five years as reported by Breach Level Index. Misconfiguring a cloud database, storage container, or search engine can have massive consequences, especially if they contain personal information. Just ask Facebook, when earlier this year, 540 million user records were exposed due to a misconfigured S3 bucket. A publicly accessible MongoDB database with misconfigured settings put Verification.io in the news when they exposed 150 gigabytes of customer data. Elasticsearch, a more recent culprit, left companies including Rubrik, ... Read More

Feed: Cloud Data Transformation Software | Matillion. Author: Laura Malins, ETL Product Manager; Laura Malins, ETL Product ManagerA customer came to us who had lots of data in a MongoDB with many nested elements. Including both arrays and structs. Their previous workflow was to load this data into an Amazon Redshift table. The MongoDB component within Matillion ETL for Amazon Redshift would then flatten the top-level objects, but this still left many nested arrays. Therefore, a Transformation job was used to flatten the remaining arrays and JSON structures by cross joining to a sequencer table to catch each array element ... Read More

Feed: Planet NoSQL. Author: Keshav Murthy. “Apps without search is like Google homepage without the search bar.” It’s hard to design an app without a good search.  These days, it’s also hard to find a database without a built-in search. MySQL to NoSQL, Sybase to Couchbase, every database has text search support — built-in like Couchbase or via integration to Elastic — as is the case in Cassandra. Unlike SQL, text search functionality isn’t standardized. Every application needs best of the breed search, but not every database provides the same text search functionality. It’s important to understand the available feature, ... Read More
