A Quick Guide To Google Cloud Platform (GCP) Tools

Over the past few years, Google has grown its cloud services to include more than 100 products and services. Today, Google Cloud rubs shoulders with the top two cloud service providers. Yet, managing a Google Cloud environment has become increasingly challenging as the platform expands its GCP tools. It’s not just Google Cloud. The same is true today for other leading public cloud providers. To its credit, Google Cloud provides plenty of tools to help you get the most out of the platform.

Better when closer: the role of the data centre in your network

For those who remember the tech world before the COVID digitalisation gold-rush, the 2019 assertion by Gartner that 'The Data Centre Is (Almost) Dead, ruffled feathers. The report warned that by 2025, 80% of enterprises will shut down their traditional data centres. In fact, 10% of organisations already have. Then the pandemic hit and the global demand for world-class user experiences (for workforces and customers alike) exploded.

Turkeys, Tech, and Table Settings: A Humorous Guide to IT Security at Thanksgiving Dinner

Let’s set the table a bit. As you know, in the U.S., Thanksgiving is coming up. And recently I had a conversation with my 83-year-old mother about Thanksgiving. Of course, we came across the inevitable parallels between Thanksgiving dinner and network security! That’s what you would be thinking when talking about Thanksgiving dinner with someone right? Before we dive into the feast, let me set the table.

Scaling Engineering Teams

The software engineering world has become a place where compute, storage, and availability have become the cornerstones of scale. As an industry and as individuals, we should stop to take a closer look at scaling the most important of all resources… our people. In this post I’ve modeled a team with 6 engineers, 2 Sr, 3 Mid, and 1 Jr. This team is getting 450 “units” of work done ( where a unit is just some measure of throughput ) per interval (2 months).

Should data teams consider incident management tools to respond to pipeline issues?

Data teams are adopting more processes and tools that align with software engineering, and from talks at the dbt Coalesce conference in 2023, there’s clearly a big push towards adopting software engineering practices at enterprise scale companies. At the moment, there are a lot of tools in the data space for identifying errors in data pipelines, but no tools for responding to these errors, such as coordinating fixes. This is exactly where an incident management platform makes sense to implement.
