Cloudera DataFlow for the Public Cloud: A technical deep dive

We just announced Cloudera DataFlow for the Public Cloud (CDF-PC), the first cloud-native runtime for Apache NiFi data flows. CDF-PC enables Apache NiFi users to run their existing data flows on a managed, auto-scaling platform with a streamlined way to deploy NiFi data flows and a central monitoring dashboard making it easier than ever before to operate NiFi data flows at scale in the public cloud.

Announcing the GA of Cloudera DataFlow for the Public Cloud

Are you ready to turbo-charge your data flows on the cloud for maximum speed and efficiency? We are excited to announce the general availability of Cloudera DataFlow for the Public Cloud (CDF-PC) – a brand new experience on the Cloudera Data Platform (CDP) to address some of the key operational and monitoring challenges of standard Apache NiFi clusters that are overloaded with high-performant flows.

Cloudera DataFlow for the Public Cloud

Cloudera DataFlow for the Public Cloud takes away the operational and monitoring challenges by providing cloud-native flow management capabilities powered by Apache NiFi. It is a purposely built framework to modernize the data flow user experience so that the NiFi developers and administrators can be prepared to easily handle sophisticated data flows in production.

Event-Driven Architecture is unblocking data-driven decisions in shipping

In March 2021, a 200,000 tonne ship got stuck in the Suez Canal, and the global shipping industry suddenly caught the world’s attention. It made us realize ships play an important role in our daily lives. Really important in fact; 90% of the things we consume arrive by ship. Take a look at this map. By visualizing vessel routes over time, the pattern creates a map of the earth. Note the lack of vessels travelling close to the coast of Somalia where piracy is common.

How to Make Digital Transformation Work

The best way to appreciate key concepts involving digital transformation is to look at real-world examples. In a recent Kong webinar, I sat down with Solutions Engineer Ahmed Koshok as he reviewed several real-world case studies that help illuminate the role of microservices in making digital transformation successful for organizations. The case studies included Papa John’s, NextJ Systems, and Yahoo! Japan.

Is Data-First AI the Next Big Thing?

We are roughly a decade removed from the beginnings of the modern machine learning (ML) platform, inspired largely by the growing ecosystem of open-source Python-based technologies for data scientists. It’s a good time for us to reflect back upon the progress that has been made, highlight the major problems enterprises have with existing ML platforms, and discuss what the next generation of platforms will be like.

Keep your cloud close and your data closer

Everyone knows that more and more data is moving to the cloud. According to the latest research, 94% of all enterprises use cloud services and 48% of businesses store classified and important data in the cloud. While the cloud is ubiquitous, in practice it consists of data infrastructures in various locations around the world. The question of where the cloud data infrastructure storing your specific data is located is becoming increasingly important.
