  • The Monolith to Microservices Journey: A Phased Approach to Architectural Evolution

    The transition from a monolithic application architecture to a microservices architecture is a significant undertaking, often driven by the desire for increased agility, scalability, resilience, and maintainability. A monolith, with its tightly coupled components, can become a bottleneck to innovation and growth. Microservices, on the other hand, offer a decentralized approach where independent services communicate… Read more

  • Navigating the Currents of Change: A Comprehensive Guide to Application Modernization

    In today’s rapidly evolving digital landscape, businesses face a constant imperative to adapt and innovate. At the heart of this transformation lies the need to modernize their core software applications. These applications, often the backbone of operations, can become impediments to growth and agility if left to stagnate. Application modernization is not merely about updating… Read more

  • Parquet “Indexing”

    While Parquet itself doesn’t have traditional database-style indexes that you explicitly create and manage, it leverages its columnar format and metadata to optimize data retrieval, which can be considered a form of implicit indexing. When it comes to joins, Parquet’s efficiency can significantly impact join performance in data processing frameworks. Here’s a breakdown of Parquet… Read more

  • Broadcast Hash Join

    The Broadcast Hash Join is a join optimization strategy used in distributed data processing frameworks like Apache Spark, Dask, and others. It’s particularly effective when one of the tables being joined is significantly smaller than the other and can fit into the memory of each executor node in the cluster. Here’s how it works: Algorithm:… Read more

  • Detail of Parquet

    The Parquet format is a column-oriented data storage format designed for efficient data storage and retrieval. It is an open-source project within the Apache Hadoop ecosystem. Here’s a breakdown of its key aspects: Key Characteristics: Advantages of Using Parquet: Disadvantages of Using Parquet: Parquet vs. Other Data Formats: In summary, Parquet is a powerful and… Read more

  • Simplistic implementation of Medallion Architecture (With Code)

    Here we demonstrate a simplistic implementation of Medallion Architecture. Medallion Architecture provides a structured and robust approach to building a data lakehouse. By progressively refining data through the Bronze, Silver, and Gold layers, organizations can ensure data quality, improve governance, and ultimately derive more valuable insights for their business Python Explanation of the Sample Code… Read more

  • Medallion Architecture

    The Medallion Architecture is a data lakehouse architecture pattern popularized by Databricks. It’s designed to progressively refine data through a series of layers, ensuring data quality and suitability for various downstream consumption needs. The name “Medallion” refers to the distinct quality levels achieved at each layer, similar to how medals signify different levels of achievement.… Read more

  • Data Lake vs. Data Lakehouse: Understanding Modern Data Architectures

    Organizations today grapple with ever-increasing volumes and varieties of data. To effectively store, manage, and analyze this data, different architectural approaches have emerged. Two prominent concepts in this landscape are the data lake and the data lakehouse. While both aim to provide a centralized data repository, they differ significantly in their design principles and capabilities.… Read more

  • k-NN (k-Nearest Neighbors) search in OpenSearch

    To perform a k-NN (k-Nearest Neighbors) search in OpenSearch after loading your manuals (or any documents) as vector embeddings, you’ll use the knn query within the OpenSearch search API. Here’s how you can do it: Understanding the knn Query The knn query in OpenSearch allows you to find the k most similar vectors to a… Read more
