The telecoms industry has two fundamental issues whose resolution is a multi-decade business and technology transformation effort. This re-engineering programme turns the current "quantities with quality" model into a "quantities of quality" one. Those who prosper will have to overcome a powerfully entrenched incumbent "bandwidth" paradigm, whereby incentives are initially strongly against investing in the inevitable and irresistible future.

Often, businesses initially look to creating APIs as a way to expose some data set or business service to a partner or third party provider so as to test the waters of new business models. This usually occurs after a process of microservices reorientation, where internal systems have been re-architected into API-facing composable services in…

The Swiss organization SWITCH, which manages educational networks among universities and research facilities, is developing a secure digital identity for university members that will provide single sign-on capabilities and connections with other services. For Swiss universities, the digital identity service is an evolution from current authentication and authorization infrastructures. The organization recently selected Apache Syncope as the…

In my SQL Masterclass, I frequently remind participants of the fact how important statistics are for a modern cost based optimiser. For instance, if you consider the fact that in an average E-Banki…

Software projects are full of rules that you must memorize: “Do not modify this file, as it is automatically generated.” “If you modify the SchemaVersion field in this module you must also edit config/schema_version.ini.” “All classes and functions must be documented.” But human beings are very bad at remembering things, especially if they’re sleep-deprived parents like me. A moment of distraction and you’ve forgotten to write an upgrade script for the database schema… and you might only find out after the production upgrade fails. What to do? Automate!

“Newsworthy,” a term that could be applied to everything from Watergate to sex tapes to now the unmasking of novelist Elena Ferrante, lacks the moral force of claiming to act on behalf of the presumed rights of the public.

Everyone is excited about Machine Learning right now. Everyone's getting into it, talking about it, and describing how their products and services will

For developers, debugging a complex application is a difficult enough task, but tracking a latency issue that runs across a set of microservices that make up a distributed application is even more daunting. Traditional tracing tools, such as DTrace, are built for following single processes on a single CPU. To aid in microservices debugging, a…
