10 Robust Enterprise-Grade ELT Tools To Collect Loads of Data

Posted: 09 Sep 2021 03:22 AM PDT

Enterprises in 2021 deal with a massive amount of data on a regular basis. The Global Data Fabric market analysis says, "businesses that use insights from data extraction will earn $1.8 Trillion by the end of 2021". With such great amounts of data, it is becoming increasingly hard to maintain and categorize the collected data. Moreover, manually processing the data only became more time-consuming and monotonous. With rapid technological advancements, companies are finding ways to find even the slightest advantages to be the best in the market.  Hence, adopting the right ELT tools/platform can greatly contribute to enterprise productivity. ELT tools can collect data, segregate the data based on common characteristics and provide clear-cut insights about the collected data. 

Below is a list of the 10 enterprise-grade ELT tools that I rate above 4 (out of 5).  These can provide great advantages to enterprises that adopt them.

Limit Communication Between Microservices With Kubernetes Network Policies

Posted: 08 Sep 2021 11:15 PM PDT

Security is an important concern for microservices applications. Although security is a broad topic, I want to zoom into a critical aspect: limiting communication between microservices. By default, microservices platforms such as Kubernetes allow unconstrained communication between services. However, to prevent a few compromised services from affecting all the services on the platform, a microservices platform needs to limit the interactions between services. This constraint is enforced by creating network policies in Kubernetes. Network policies allow you to specify which services can communicate with each other and which services can't. For example, you can specify that a service can only communicate with other services in the same namespace with a network policy.

A Kubernetes cluster needs a network controller to enforce the network policies. The network controller is a special pod that runs on every node in the cluster (a.k.a., DaemonSet). It monitors the network traffic between services and enforces the network policies.

Solace PubSub+ vs. Kafka: Implementation of the Publish-Subscribe Messaging Pattern

Posted: 08 Sep 2021 09:20 PM PDT

In this post, I'll explain how pub/sub messaging pattern implementation differs in Kafka and Solace PubSub+.

Publish-Subscribe, also known as pub/sub, is a popular messaging pattern that is commonly used in today's systems to help them efficiently distribute data and scale among other things. The pub/sub messaging pattern can be easily implemented through an event broker such as Solace PubSub+, Kafka, RabbitMQ, and ActiveMQ.

Five Ways Developers Can Help SREs

Posted: 08 Sep 2021 07:48 PM PDT

It is not easy to be a Site Reliability Engineer (SRE). Monitoring system infrastructure and aligning it with the key reliability metrics is quite a daunting task. Whereas, a software engineer's job is to deliver high-quality software.

Relationships between software engineers and site reliability engineers can sometimes be tricky. To begin with, developers are generally assigned to write code that goes into production. Then, there are SREs who are responsible for improving the product's reliability and performance. 

CockroachDB TIL: Volume 1

Posted: 08 Sep 2021 07:21 PM PDT

This is a new series of articles covering short "Today I Learned" topics as I peel the layers of CockroachDB. This is meant to resemble release notes. I decided to mix it up with the format for these posts as they may not justify an entire blog.  Link here for past articles.

Topics

Topic 1: Unit Testing With CockroachDB

I get this question a lot:  "What is the best way to unit test CockroachDB as part of application development?"  Depending on the use case, there are several approaches we can take.  There is a venerable [cockroach demo](https://www.cockroachlabs.com/docs/stable/cockroach-demo.html), which has been my trusty go-to tool when I needed something in a hurry.  It comes with a one-hour license for enterprise features, which you can also unit test, but it also comes with certain limitations. For example, there is reported latency at table creation, ports until recently were random and not configurable, and by default it loads data which you can also overcome with a flag. The goal for cockroach demo is to quickly spin up a working environment for demo purposes and not necessarily something designed for unit testing.

Exploring BERT Language Framework for NLP Tasks

Posted: 08 Sep 2021 05:21 PM PDT

NLP is one of the most crucial components for structuring a language-focused AI program, for example, the chatbots which readily assist visitors on the websites and AI-based voice assistants or VAs. NLP as the subset of AI enables machines to understand written language and interpret the intent behind it by various means. A hoard of other tasks is being added via NLP like sentiment analysis, text classification, text extraction, text summarization, speech recognition, auto-correction, etc.

However, NLP is being explored for many more tasks. There have been many advancements lately in the field of NLP and also NLU (natural language understanding) which are being applied on many analytics and modern BI platforms. Advanced applications are using ML algorithms with NLP to perform complex tasks by analyzing and interpreting a variety of content.

Over the years, the dynamics of business marketing and implementing technology to drive better customer experience have transformed significantly. Chatbots are one such fine example of the same.   

Almost every website you visit these days provides you with virtual assistance with chatbots. More importantly, chatbots help business owners to manage and expand their business services as well as CRM practices.   

Agile Enterprise Architecture Framework: Enabler for Enterprise Agility

Posted: 08 Sep 2021 01:21 PM PDT

Introduction

Enterprises are gearing up to address the ever-changing demands of the business in an agile manner to reap the benefits through reduced time to market. They demand high business agility to achieve organizational goals. With the complexity of the business, models and interactions between businesses are hitting a record high; the IT systems are accommodating these complexities in many ways. Many enterprises prefer to develop product-type configurable systems rather than custom-tailored rigid systems. The architects who provide the technology leadership had to go over and above their scope to address business demands.

Today, the perception towards Architects across the industry is changing. Enterprise Architects expected to code, to win the respect across the organization. The Enterprise Architect also expected to get involved not only in the strategy stage but also in end-to-end implementation. The Enterprise Architect needs to work very closely with the business in defining the business strategy of an enterprise. In addition, Enterprise Architect oversees how to realize the business strategy in the form of implementation.

Intermodular Analysis of C++ Projects in PVS-Studio

Posted: 08 Sep 2021 12:55 PM PDT

Why would we need intermodular analysis? How does the analyzer benefit from it? Normally, our tool is checking only one source file at a time. The analyzer doesn't know about the contents of other project files. Intermodular analysis allows us to provide the analyzer with information about the entire project structure. This way, the analysis becomes more accurate and qualitative. This approach is similar to Link Time Optimization (LTO). For example, the analyzer can learn about a function behavior from another project file and issue a warning. It may be, for instance, dereference of a null pointer that was passed as an argument to an external function.

Implementation of intermodular analysis is a challenging task. Why? To find out the answer to this question, let's first dig into the structure of C++ projects.

How to Connect Power BI to Dynamics 365: Dashboard Integration

Posted: 08 Sep 2021 11:30 AM PDT

Strong integration capabilities Microsoft Dynamics 365 with other products in the MS ecosystem are its strong suit.  Power BI is a significant part of this ecosystem. Power BI comes with the capability to bring in insights and data from diverse sources. It then visualizes the acquired data, converting it into insights that can either be shared with others in the organization or used for personal convenience. 

These visualizations can be utilized through three methods: Power BI Desktop (a native Windows application), the Power BI service (https://app.powerbi.com), and Power BI mobile apps. These are available on iOS, Android, and Windows platforms.

Optimization of .NET Applications: A Big Result From Small Edits

Posted: 08 Sep 2021 10:21 AM PDT

One old and simple idea runs like a golden thread through this article: Premature optimizations are evil.

Sometimes it happens that optimization and readability go in slightly different directions. Code may work better, but it is harder to read and maintain. And vice versa — code is easy to read and modify but has some performance problems. Therefore, it is important to understand what we are willing to sacrifice in such cases.

Will the Real Senior Dev Please Stand Up? (2021 Edition)

Posted: 08 Sep 2021 09:58 AM PDT

A year ago I wrote an article for Dzone titled The Rise and Fall of a Senior Developer. Filled with personal anecdotes and stories from my years as a software engineer, the article was a critique of industry practices surrounding the somewhat controversial issue of ranking programmers' seniority.

I realized that I might sound like an elitist dinosaur patronizing the upcoming generation of software engineers. A sort of "back in my day we did things differently" mentality that every generation seems to age into.

So you can imagine my surprise when the article became not only my most popular submission, but caught the eye of Dan Lines, host of the Dev Interrupted podcast.

Why We Need Tool Choice: A Developer’s Story

Posted: 08 Sep 2021 07:27 AM PDT

As I landed my first real job as a developer, Britney Spears had the song of the summer, Y2K bugs were about to throw the world into the dark ages, and everyone on my new team used the same tools to code, test, and deploy. As a fresh-out-of-college noob, I was thrown onto tools with steep learning curves resulting in low productivity rates. I thought it was the way it worked and I had to pay my dues to get comfortable with the system. 

I have since come to understand that there are better processes. In the words of Britney, Oh baby, baby, how was I supposed to know that something wasn't right here?
