Search may be what Google is known for, but advertising has long been how the company makes billions of dollars. So it may strike some consumers as odd that Google just introduced a new feature in its Chrome browser that blocks by default certain types of ads. Chrome’s new ad-filtering technology, released Thursday, removes ads from sites that do not adhere to the guidelines of its Better Ad Standards group.

In March 2016, as part of an exploratory project, I worked on an example implementation of GraphQL using MongoDB and Node.js: graphql-server. While at the time, the company decided not to go with GraphQL, it was only a year later that they revisited the idea and started to make it part of their core technology strategy (they had multiple mobile apps and 3rd party clients that needed a more performant interface than the REST API, which had some performance issues).

Many organizations today are unlocking the power of their data by using graph databases to feed downstream analytics, enahance visualizations, and more. Yet, when different graph nodes represent the same entity, graphs get messy. Watch this essential video with Senzing CEO Jeff Jonas on how adding entity resolution to a graph database condenses network graphs to improve analytics and save your analysts time.

Software leaders who are building applications based on Large Language Models (LLMs) often find it a challenge to achieve reliability. It’s no surprise given the non-deterministic nature of LLMs. To effectively create reliable LLM-based (often with RAG) applications, extensive testing and evaluation processes are crucial. This often ends up involving meticulous adjustments to prompts.

Multi-tenant architecture allows software vendors to realize tremendous efficiencies by maintaining a single application stack instead of separate database instances while meeting data privacy needs. When you use a data warehouse to power your multi-tenant analytics, the proper approach is vital. Multi-tenant analytics is NOT the primary use case with traditional data warehouses, causing data security challenges.

I lived in Dubai for three years in the early 1980s. The United Arab Emirates (UAE) was a very young country then, but its ambition was clear. The tallest building was the Dubai Trade Centre, at 30 stories. In fact, it was the tallest building in the whole of the Middle East at the time, and many people thought it was a folly: why build a skyscraper in the desert?

All software systems will fail. This is unfortunately a fact of life. Not even the biggest companies talk about 100% uptime. They talk about the number of ‘9’s of uptime a system has (e.g. 3 9s is 99.9% and 5 9s is 99.999%). Being able to claim a large number of 9s is a point of pride. While all software fails, developers can show off their skills by claiming to have a large number of 9s.
