By 2020, sources state that for every second each human being on the planet will create an average of 1.7Mb of data and IP traffic will reach 511Tb, which is the equivalent of 142 million people streaming Internet high-definition video simultaneously, all day, every day.  With a 1/3 of that data expected to be in…

How should we approach analytics when the serverless cloud is the only option? Cloud-native data platforms enable developers to build applications quickly. In this keynote, learn how Red Pill Analytics stitched together data from across the internet to tell a social media story for our client Google using the Google Cloud Platform. Hear how we…

  Apache Kafka is a massively scalable message queue used for building real-time data pipelines and streaming applications that are high-performing and fault tolerant. This presentation will introduce Kafka from the perspective of a mere mortal Oracle DBA and share the experience of (and challenges with) getting events from relational databases to Kafka. We’ll demonstrate…

The open source streaming data platform, Kafka, is taking the world by storm. In their own predictions for 2017 Oracle even asserted that “Kafka looks to be the runaway Big Data technology of 2017”. This being the case there's no better time to start learning it. So what is it? Well, technically speaking it is…

Big Data is growing exponentially, requiring massive-scale infrastructure however, business analytics has shifted from reactive to proactive analysis; this is the era of streaming data (a.k.a. Fast Data). Apache Hadoop is very good for analyzing data at rest but cannot handle streaming data. Big Data analytics needs new Big data frameworks. Apache Spark brings in-memory processing and…

Encrypting data is a useful tool to protect sensitive data be it at rest, in motion, or in use. For an Oracle Database, encryption may be done at the storage, application, network, and backup layers. Therefore, implementing database encryption can be time consuming and difficult as there are performance considerations and challenges such as effective…
