How to mitigate the challenges of data growth

Over the last decade, I’ve rarely met a data professional whose organization wasn’t experiencing data growth and making more demands of their data. We build and deploy new applications faster than we retire old ones, and new data is accumulating dramatically faster on our existing systems than our ability to decide to delete older information. Additionally, the ever-growing number of users and devices interacting with that data increases the strain on the infrastructure underpinning it.

Managing Kubernetes Log Data at Scale | Civo Navigate NA 2023

In this talk by Matt Miller from Edge Deltas, we delve into the world of managing Kubernetes log data at a significant scale.

The Unplanned Show, Episode 8: Platform Engineering with Martin Van Son

In this episode, Martin Van Son provides a simplified definition of platforms in this context: a way for internal users to request anything from environments to deployments. The platform engineering comes in because someone needs to own stitching together and automating away all the complexity involved to complete that action. In the end, both the consumers and the creators save time. Furthermore, platform engineers have an opportunity to encode best practices and cost saving measures that are often forgotten when users are left to their own devices.
