Replacing cron jobs and dbt pipelines with ClickHouse Refreshable Materialized Views

Nov 28, 2025 By Alexander Fridriksson In Aiven
For ClickHouse to achieve the speed it's known for, it has historically relied on a trigger-based and incremental architecture for materialized views. This architecture is known to be very efficient but lacks flexibility, such as when working with data that needs to be backfilled rather than append-only.

How to Connect Salesforce to Tableau and Use Near-Real-Time Data Across Teams

Nov 26, 2025 By Dereck Mushingairi In Devart
The effectiveness of Tableau Salesforce integration depends on one decisive factor: the connector. While Tableau’s native connector is straightforward and offers quick access, it lacks support for complex joins, uses scheduled extracts for refreshes, and doesn’t extend to other BI or ETL platforms. To overcome these constraints, many organizations implement ODBC Drivers, which deliver SQL depth and governance designed for analytics at scale.

Caching in C#: A Comprehensive Technical Guide

Nov 26, 2025 By Dereck Mushingairi In Devart
In.NET systems, performance is often won or lost on the read path. Every extra database or API call adds latency and cost. Caching fixes that by keeping frequently used data, like product lists or lookups, close to your code, turning slow trips into instant reads. This is not theoretical, it works in the real world. Stack Overflow runs a two-tier cache (in-process + Redis), where a Redis hop takes only 0.2–0.5 ms and local memory reads are effectively instant.

Microsoft Fabric Data Warehouse: Features, Benefits, and Use Cases

Nov 17, 2025 By Rosemary Asufi In Devart
The Fabric Data Warehouse was built to solve one of analytics’ biggest challenges: fragmentation. When data is spread across separate tools for ingestion, modeling, and reporting, teams lose time, accuracy, and visibility. As part of the Microsoft Fabric ecosystem, the Data Warehouse addresses this by unifying every stage of the analytics process into a single, connected environment.

Which Data Connectivity Product to Choose: ODBC, SSIS, Excel, or Python

Nov 17, 2025 By Victoria Lazarus In Devart
Data connectivity solutions are the bedrock of a solid database management strategy. Here’s why. Databases rarely work in isolation. They are constantly interacting with various apps and cloud platforms. As such, ensuring that this interaction flows seamlessly is critical. This is where your business data connectivity solution comes in. But here is the problem. There is no one-size-fits-all connectivity solution.

Understand, diagnose, and optimize SQL queries: Introducing Grafana Cloud Database Observability

Nov 13, 2025 By Matthew Nolf In Grafana
It’s widely acknowledged that most application performance problems stem not from the application itself, but from the underlying database. Slow or inefficient database queries are often the primary cause of these issues, acting as the biggest driver of application performance incidents. If you’ve been troubleshooting slow API calls or sluggish services, chances are the root cause likely resides within your database layer.

Exploring why PostgreSQL 18 put asynchronous I/O in your database

Nov 11, 2025 By Alexander Fridriksson In Aiven
For years, PostgreSQL relied on synchronous I/O, meaning that when the database needed data from disk, each read operation was a blocking system call. The database process would therefore pause and wait for the data retrieval before moving to the next task. Synchronous I/O works well for local storage, but our database needs have changed drastically since then, resulting in this architecture creating significant bottlenecks when storage has higher latency.

Devart ODBC Drivers vs Free ODBC and JDBC: Key Comparison

Nov 7, 2025 By Dereck Mushingairi In Devart
Most teams never question the JDBC or ODBC drivers they use. If it connects, it’s “good enough.” That assumption can cost more than $14,000 per minute during an outage, according to EMA’s 2024 IT downtime benchmark. Drivers are more than connectors. They dictate how efficiently data moves between databases, applications, and analytics tools. When overlooked, the entire stack slows down. Breakdowns at this level lead to failed reports, missed deadlines, and avoidable downtime.

Apache Cassandra has long been favored by organizations dealing with large volumes of data that require distributed storage and processing capabilities. Its decentralized architecture and tunable consistency levels make it ideal for handling massive datasets across multiple nodes with minimal latency. On the other hand, Apache Spark excels in processing and analyzing data in-memory, making it an excellent complement to Cassandra for performing real-time analytics and batch processing tasks.
