Redgate Monitor Adds Support for Oracle Multitenant

Redgate Monitor now gives you full visibility into activity across Oracle Multitenant environments. With metrics and alerts at both the Container Database (CDB) and Pluggable Database (PDB) level, you can quickly pinpoint performance issues and ensure compliance. With the introduction of Oracle multitenant architecture in Oracle 12c, many teams began consolidating databases into a single Container database (CDB). This helped them to optimize resource usage and simplify patching.

95% of AI Pilots Fail - Here's How to Be the 5%

When MIT released research showing that 95% of enterprise AI pilots fail to deliver measurable business impact, it made headlines for a reason.

Set aside the data masking features of PostgreSQL Anonymizer. This plugin can save the day during development by simplifying your workflow and generating schema-accurate, privacy-compliant test data. In a previous post, we discussed using static and dynamic masking to anonymize data. I spent the last two weeks trying to write followups for the anonymization posts. It's time to confess... I'm an over-engineerer.

Automating GDPR compliance for web applications with CircleCI

11 Cross-Border Compliance Risks for IT Freelancers

The digital nomad lifestyle sounds like a dream: travel the world, take your laptop, and work for clients across time zones.
