As cloud adoption accelerates worldwide, cybersecurity has become a critical concern, especially for federal agencies. That’s where the Federal Risk and Authorization Management Program (FedRAMP) comes in. For cloud service providers (CSPs) and third-party vendors interested in serving the U.S. Government, FedRAMP compliance is a necessity. Here, we’ll unpack what FedRAMP is, how it works, and the...

Today’s digital world is driven by data. Therefore, your database needs to manage and organize vast amounts of information, which can be a daunting task. A database schema is a format feature that significantly improves your database’s ability to maintain large volumes of data. This powerful mechanism is the blueprint of a database. A database schema is the logical structure that organizes...

Imagine this: You run an online retail business, and it’s the busiest shopping day of the year. Suddenly, your onsite server goes down, and customers can no longer access your website. Instead of buying from you, they look elsewhere. The experienced downtime is more than just a computer or tech problem. It’s a risk for your business. Robust fault tolerance measures are essential to ensure that...

Today’s world is driven by data and artificial intelligence (AI) innovations. However, managing large datasets has created challenges. AI and machine learning (ML) use high-dimensional data, which can be difficult to store, transmit, and retrieve. To mitigate the risk, developers have turned to data compression to reduce the size of this essential data. Vector quantization (VQ) compresses data by...

Databases are the best way to store and fetch digital data, and there are two main types: relational and non-relational. A common example of a non-relational database is a document database. When planning a new workflow, choosing the right database is essential for long-term scalability. You’ll want to assess your structural needs and the type of project or use case to determine which database is...

Data drives today’s world. How you handle and organize your data impacts your organizational productivity, especially as datasets grow. When building customer-centric apps or analyzing complex datasets, data partitioning allows for better data management, improved scalability, faster query resolution, and increased performance. By dividing data in a large-scale database into smaller, more...

In today’s digital age, the amount of data created, copied, captured, and consumed every day has reached unprecedented levels. As a result, companies are seeking scalable data storage solutions that can accommodate both structured and unstructured data with flexibility. Additionally, with multiple users accessing data from mobile devices, enterprises need a solution that maintains a high degree of...

Oracle and PostgreSQL are both popular database management systems, but how each one functions is vastly different. In today’s digital age, your organization needs to choose a system that aligns with your data ecosystem. Oracle is one of the largest relational database management systems (RDBMSes) in the information technology (IT) sector, while PostgreSQL is an object-relational database...

The stamped pages in Bruce Momjian’s passport trace a quiet revolution. In just the past few months, the longtime Postgres advocate has sat with students in Charlotte, database engineers in Shenzhen, grassroots organizers in Yerevan, and enterprise leaders in Zurich. The conversations may have differed, but the themes were the same: technical freedom, digital sovereignty, and a shared belief that open source is the way forward.

Artificial intelligence (AI) is the simulation of human intelligence by machines and computer systems. It is accomplished by studying human brain patterns and analyzing the cognitive process. With cognitive AI, many technologies cooperate to enable machines to sense, comprehend, respond, and learn with human-like intelligence. As modern technology expands and evolves, the complexity and nuance...
