  • Agentic AI Tools

    Agentic AI refers to a type of artificial intelligence system that can operate autonomously to achieve specific goals. Unlike traditional AI, which typically follows pre-programmed instructions, agentic AI can perceive its environment, reason about complex situations, make decisions, and take actions with limited or no direct human intervention. These systems often leverage large language models… Read more

  • Comparing various Time Series Databases

    A Time Series Database (TSDB) is a type of database specifically designed to handle sequences of data points indexed by time. This is in contrast to traditional relational databases that are optimized for transactional data and may not efficiently handle the unique characteristics of time-stamped data. Here’s a comparison of key aspects of Time Series… Read more

  • The Monolith to Microservices Journey: Empowered by AI

  • 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
