Risks and Mitigation Strategies in Multi-Cloud Environments

According to a talk by Teena Idnani, Senior Solution Architect from Microsoft, presented at the QCon event by InfoQ, I created a short risk assessment for the case she presented about Multi-Cloud Environments in Event-Driven Architectures for the fictional company FinBank. By examining the key points discussed, I identified the following risks: By addressing these Continue reading

How Azure Data Explorer Works ?

Azure Data Explorer (ADX) – Microsoft’s fast service for data exploration. It’s designed to handle massive volumes of data such as telemetry, logs, and time series data, which are commonly generated by applications and IoT devices. In this post, I will break down how ADX works, using a UML Components Diagram to illustrate its elements Continue reading

What was the first use of the term “Cloud Computing” ?

According to Regalado (2011), in 1996, within the offices of Compaq Computer, a group of technology executives was envisioning the future of the Internet business, coining the term “cloud computing.” They predicted that all business software would eventually shift online, and that “cloud computing-enabled applications,” such as consumer file storage, would become commonplace. Reference: Regalado, Continue reading

What are Metadata-Driven Pipelines?

Metadata-driven pipelines are a data management solution that eliminates the need for considerable coding by identifying patterns in data connectivity and processing and therefore replaces the manual coding necessary for each data source. This method not only saves time but also decreases the possibility of mistakes. Furthermore, metadata-driven pipelines are highly scalable and versatile, easily Continue reading

What is the first article about Cloud Computing?

The term “cloud” was not commonly used until the late 1990s, so finding the first article about cloud architecture may be difficult. However, it is believed that an internal document of Compaq in 1996 was the first document about cloud computing. On the other hand, the first academic mention of the cloud was made by Continue reading
