No Database Is Perfect: Applying CAP Theorem to Database Choice
Since its introduction to the marketplace in 2000, the consistency, availability, and partition theorem, or CAP theorem, has been a guiding principle in database management. Computer scientist Eric Brewer presented the CAP theorem in a talk about distributed systems that provide web services. Two MIT professors later proved the theorem. It states that a database can be […]
Choosing Tools for Data Pipeline Test Automation (Part 1)
Those who want to design universal data pipelines and ETL testing tools face a tough challenge because of the vastness and variety of technologies: Each data pipeline platform embodies a unique philosophy, architectural design, and set of operations.
