This technical paper covers how to process continuous streams of high-volume data to instantly detect conditions and anomalies, inspect results, and analyze data from multiple streams simultaneously.

• Why stream processing naturally fits with time series data and how to use a purpose-built time series database to ingest, store, and process these records.
• The importance of order, context, and responsiveness from an information-needs perspective.
• How to use the Kapacitor open source framework to create alerts, run ETL jobs and detect anomalies.
• Code examples and reference architecture diagrams.

This article provides an overview of key insights from a recent roundtable discussion led by Kelsey Hightower, a software engineer known for his work with Kubernetes, which focused on the state of cloud computing and future trends, including the convergence of public cloud platforms, the blending of on-prem and public cloud, and bold approaches to cloud cost management.

This article discusses the evolution of Java development, highlighting the challenges faced with early J2EE standards and the subsequent emergence of simpler, more efficient frameworks like Spring. It showcases examples of how companies leverage patterns, automation, and AI to streamline development processes and enhance security.

This article discusses the challenges and opportunities of integrating Kubernetes with machine learning (ML) and artificial intelligence (AI) workflows. It explores the potential of Kubernetes as a control plane for AI, addressing the importance of standardization, extensibility, and ease of use.

Crossplane's extensible architecture through provider-http enables efficient management of infrastructure across cloud environments and on-premises setups. With provider-http, users gain access to resources for one-time interactions or for resource management via HTTP requests without the need to create a new provider from scratch.
