AWS Analytics Done Right
Businesses today struggle as a result of the three big challenges with traditional analytics products – legacy tools that won’t work with all of their data, that don’t have the architecture to handle big data, and that can’t take actions in real-time to keep them ahead of the competition.
Qrvey is the next generation of business analytics that moves beyond visualizations to include data collection, transformation, automation and machine learning, providing the fastest and easiest path to harness the full power of AWS without coding. By bringing analytics into the age of microservices, Qrvey’s platform empowers its customers to build and embed highly performant analytic applications that can be widely distributed. At Qrvey, embedding is not a feature set, it’s a mindset.

The Complete Guide to Shift Left Testing
In an Agile world, software and IT teams are under constant pressure to move faster. Typically, this means decreasing the relative length of delivery time while continuing to improve quality on each successive release. At the same time, there’s always pressure to minimize testing costs.
An emphasis on testing and quality has made a huge emergence in the software market, where “move fast and break things” is no longer viable. A quality assurance movement known as “shift-left testing” has come along in response to this mantra.
This e-book will cover:
1) Why you won’t survive if you don’t shift
2) How your testing processes should change when you adopt a shift-left testing methodology
3) Who needs to be involved in this movement and how
4) Case studies about how to pioneer the shift in your teams

Your Budget is Gone, Your Data-Intensive Application is Next, What Do You Do?
Tuesday, July 14, 2020 | 1:00PM ET | 10:00AM PT
While organizations accelerate moving their data-intensive applications to the cloud for cost cutting reasons, they are afforded the opportunity to adopt cloud-native technologies. IT departments are facing a radically different operating climate than they did last winter. Now their entire user and customer communities have moved exclusively online and IT must make counter moves. New requirements for personalization require a much more flexible data management infrastructure to map user behaviors, sessions and available products and services more effectively. And users don’t just use laptops, they are mobile and expect consistency across experiences. What will you and your application do?
This event will provide answers for how to improve development team agility by adopting versatile NoSQL database platforms, while it is automatically deployed and managed within their providers’ virtual private cloud. It will introduce the In-VPC style of deployment, which eliminates an inconvenient data residency issue found in everyday SaaS products who house customer data outside the owners’ network.
Couchbase can show customers how to control their data at all times and can use a single control plane to manage multiple distributed cloud clusters deployed everywhere. We will also describe how combining node-for-node price performance with a custom-tailored infrastructure as a service, along with transparent licensing and SLAs will lead to exceptionally low TCO for NoSQL databases in the cloud.

Observability: It’s all about the data
Observability is the latest iteration of application and network monitoring, giving organizations a view into CI/CD pipelines, microservices, Kubernetes and edge decies, among other systems. Yet handling all the data these systems throw off can be a huge challenge. Logs, metrics and traces are important sources of data for performance.
But there’s more to observability than merely collecting data. It needs to be correlated into a topology, so that the relationships between all the moving parts can be seen, and you can learn how an event can impact some other part of the system.
Read Part 3 of SD Times “Deeper Look” into application monitoring to learn more. And, if you haven’t already done so, you can read Part 1 and Part 2 as well.

DevTestOps Landscape Survey 2020
DevOps delivery practices are being adopted across the industry, but unfortunately they’re not always built with quality assurance as a core capability. Teams have no choice but to build a testing strategy as they go, rather than designing the culture, processes, and tools upfront. QA testing as an afterthought in an agile or CI/CD environment results in measurable inefficiencies across the entire development team; and oftentimes will directly impact the user experience with too many bugs reaching production.
Applying QA best practices to every phase of application development has the most impact on customer and employee happiness. Putting automated testing at the center of DevOps – what we call DevTestOps – yields an ROI you won’t want to ignore.
Listen as SDTimes and mabl discuss the findings from the 2020 DevTestOps Landscape Survey. You will hear about:
- Trends in CI/CD and cloud adoption
- How enterprises are tightly integrating QA into development
- Tips for understanding which automation is right for your team
- Team structures that work for the employees and for customers

How low-code solutions can help prepare for your return to the office
Recorded Event
As businesses start to re-open and organizations begin to bring employees back to their places of work, there will be new challenges — some known, and some unexpected. But employee wellness will be top of mind, and having workers maintain social distancing and still be able to collaborate is among them.
Traditional spreadsheets make version control hard, and managers who’ll need to set up schedules if only half the staff can be in the office at one time will need applications produced quickly to meet those challenges. Low-code software solutions can help businesses quickly evolve their operations to create safe, effective and collaborative ways to work.
Listen as SD Times and QuickBase discuss how low-code tooling can make your return to the office a smooth one.
