API Integrations Running in Your AWS Infrastructure

We are rolling out a new line of serverless API integrations using AWS Lambda to help our customers stream data from existing APIs into their AWS infrastructure. We are beginning with AWS Lambda functions that stream data from common API data sources into Amazon S3 data lakes, but we are also planning for connectors that will stream into relational and non-relational database stores, as well as POST to external systems using webhooks. This makes it easy for any company, organization, institution, or government to stream data into their existing AWS infrastructure.

You hear a lot of discussion around on-premise and delivering software solutions within a company’s own data center, but we find that making sure we can deliver on-premise solutions within customer’s existing cloud infrastructure to be even more important. With the healthy lead Amazon enjoys in the cloud market, we find that empowering our customers to stream data within their existing AWS infrastructure is a great place to begin. We find AWS Lambda to be one of the most plug-and-play and easiest to install approaches for deploying streaming solutions within our customer’s existing AWS infrastructure — making it the first place we are investing our time and energy when it comes to cloud connectors. https://goo.gl/b3eXcR #DataIntegration #ML

Metrics: The Heartbeat of Success

#ICYMI: Software products and projects have become more complex today owing to comprehensive product functionality, advanced architectures, and sophistication. Added to this is the increasing business and margin pressure, for which projects are now required to be accomplished within a short time span and with minimal resources. To achieve this, organizations constantly invest in state-of-the-art tools to make sure that every single stakeholder has the proper ammunition for on-time delivery with quality. Though organizations invest heavily in individual tools, and many projects continue to fail, leading the organizations to incur a huge loss.

Why is this? Poor visibility of proper metrics is one of the major factors behind this. With data residing in silos, generating proper metrics involving data from across various tools is a huge challenge resulting in poor control and inaccurate decision making. https://goo.gl/YqtbJU #DataIntegration #ML
