A Brief History of the Data Warehouse
A data warehouse stores data from in-house systems and various outside sources. Data warehouses are designed to support the decision-making process through data collection, consolidation, analytics, and research. They can be used in analyzing a specific subject area, such as “sales,” and are an important part of modern business intelligence. The architecture for data warehouses was […]
Leveraging Data Stream Processing to Improve Real-Time Data Analysis
Data stream processing is rapidly emerging as a critical technology for modernizing enterprise applications and improving real-time data analysis for data-driven applications. As businesses become more reliant on real-time data analysis, data stream processing enables them to analyze and process large amounts of data in real time, providing timely insights and enabling informed decision-making. Traditionally, […]
Types of Databases and Their Uses
There are several types of databases, and their differing designs process data in different ways. Providing access to information is the primary purpose of a database. They can be used for a variety of tasks, ranging from storing photos to buying items online to analyzing marketing and sales data. Large amounts of information can be […]
Is Low-Code and No-Code Development the Solution to Your Productivity Dilemma?
Enterprises’ growing need for quality Data Management and productivity tools has led to an explosion of interest in emerging technologies, such as low-code and no-code platforms, to accelerate their digital transformation objectives. Businesses encumbered by legacy infrastructure must make significant investments and decide whether to buy their technology or build it internally. With both options, fast assembly […]
Structured vs. Unstructured Data: An Overview
Structured data and unstructured data are both forms of data, but the first uses a single standardized format for storage, and the second does not. Structured data must be appropriately formatted (or reformatted) to provide a standardized data format before being stored, which is not a necessary step when storing unstructured data. The relational database […]

Best Practices in Data Pipeline Test Automation
Data integration processes benefit from automated testing just like any other software. Yet finding a data pipeline project with a suitable set of automated tests is rare. Even when a project has many tests, they are often unstructured, do not communicate their purpose, and are hard to run. A characteristic of data pipeline development is the frequent […]
Graph Database Use Cases
One of the primary advantages of using a graph database is the ability to present the relationships that exist between datasets and files. Much of the data is connected, and graph database use cases are increasingly helping to find and explore these relationships and develop new conclusions. Additionally, graph databases are designed for quick data […]
