By Asa Whillock The generative AI party is still raging. This zeitgeist has rocked the business world daily in a million ways, and the ground is still shifting. Now, four months into 2024, we’re starting to see businesses, particularly those with rarified pragmatic brands, starting to demand evidence of value, of the path to the true ROI derived from AI. As pragmatic voices for value rise, how do thoughtful business leaders respond? Alteryx studied exactly this question. What are the concrete pathways to AI value? We surveyed leading CIOs and board members and found a brightly lit approach to ...

By Anais Dotis-Georgiou The Apache Software Foundation develops and maintains open source software projects that significantly impact various domains of computing, from web servers and databases to big data and machine learning. As the volume and velocity of time series data continue to grow, thanks to IoT devices, AI, financial systems, and monitoring tools, more and more companies will rely on the Apache ecosystem to manage and analyze this kind of data. This article provides a brief tour of the Apache ecosystem for time series data processing and analysis. It will focus on the FDAP stack—Fl...

By Anirban Ghoshal Teradata is partnering with Anaconda to add packages of popular programming languages Python and R to its multi-cloud analytics platform offering, VantageCloud Lake. The partnership will see Teradata integrate the packages from Anaconda’s repository into its self-service data analytics offering, ClearScape Analytics, which comes packaged inside VantageCloud Lake. The integration will allow enterprises to deploy and operationalize artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning tasks faster, the company said, adding that enterprises that already subscribe to VantageCloud La...

By Anirban Ghoshal Snowflake on Thursday said it was making its Data Clean Room application generally available for free in the Snowflake Marketplace. The application, which was built on Snowflake’s Native Application Framework, will allow customers to set up data clean rooms at no additional cost, the company said. Introduced in 2022, Snowflake’s Native Application Framework offers developers the ability to build and run applications inside the Snowflake Data Cloud platform, without the need to move data when building and running those applications. Data clean rooms, according to Snowflake, p...

By Jon Udell In Steampipe unbundled we showed how its plugins, which originally worked only with the foreign data wrapper loaded into Steampipe’s batteries-included Postgres, are now also available as stand-alone distributions that you can load into your own instances of Postgres or SQLite. Now Steampipe itself is unbundled: its dashboard server and benchmark runner have migrated to a new open-source project, Powerpipe. When you start Powerpipe it defaults to a local instance of Steampipe so existing dashboards and benchmarks work as always. The mods that drive them source their data from the ...

By Marc Prioleau The trend of open data is taking hold around the world and it will unleash untold innovation. McKinsey notes that open data, which is data that can be freely used and freely redistributed, could contribute $3 trillion annually to the global economy and has the potential to “unleash innovation and transform every sector of the economy.” The World Bank also recognizes “the huge potential of open data,” noting that private company use of open government data has “only begun to be exploited.” The European Union, which often leads in terms of embracing digital initiatives, has its ...

By Anais Dotis-Georgio The world has become “sensor-fied.” Sensors on everything, including cars, factory machinery, turbine engines, and spacecraft, continuously collect data that developers leverage to optimize efficiency and power AI systems. So, it’s no surprise that time series—the type of data these sensors collect—is one of the fastest-growing categories of databases over the past five-plus years. However, relational databases remain, by far, the most-used type of databases. Vector databases have also seen a surge in usage thanks to the rise of generative AI and large language models (L...

By Li Shen In the good old days, databases had a relatively simple job: help with the monthly billing, deliver some reports, maybe answer some ad hoc queries. Databases were important, but they weren’t in constant demand. Today the picture is different. Databases are often tasked with powering business operations and hyperscale online services. The flow of transactions is incessant, and response times need to be near-instantaneous. In this new paradigm, businesses aren’t just informed by their database—they’re fundamentally built on it. Decisions are made, strategies are drafted, and services ...

By Charly Batista SQL, the Structured Query Language, remains one of the most widely used programming languages, coming in fourth in Stack Overflow’s research for 2023. Just over half (51.52%) of professional developers use SQL in their work, but only around a third (35.29%) of those learning to code use SQL. For a language that has remained in use for decades, SQL has a mixed reputation among developers. Why does SQL remain in use when so many other languages have come and gone? And why does SQL have a bright future still? [ Also on InfoWorld: How SQL can unify access to APIs ] Ubiquity and s...

By Jean-Sebastien Brunner The real world is made up of people and things in constant motion, and the applications developers build need to reflect this reality. Picture an airport with thousands of planes and passengers arriving and departing daily who need to be updated when delays or other changes happen as fast as possible. Or a payment network that processes millions of transactions each minute. If we can record and process these events at scale and in real time, we open the door to exciting new applications that can improve efficiency or drive better customer experiences. Stream processin...
