AI Agents for Data Warehousing

Aggregated on: 2025-03-04 14:13:02

The term "data warehousing" was first introduced in the 1980s, referring to the practice of storing data from various sources within an organization. The collected data is then utilized for reporting, decision-making, accurate analytics, better customer insights, and handling ad hoc queries. However, traditional data warehousing techniques come with significant challenges, including high setup and maintenance costs, slow processing speeds, and scalability limitations. However, with the rise of artificial intelligence, the introduction of DW Agent AI is revolutionizing data management, making processes more automated, efficient, and scalable.

The Critical Role of CISOs in Managing IAM, Including NHIs

Aggregated on: 2025-03-04 13:13:02

Who Should Own IAM in the Enterprise? Identity and access management (IAM) started as an IT function, with the entire focus on giving human users the right access to the right systems. But today, identity has become the primary attack surface, with at least 80% of all modern breaches involving compromised or stolen identities from adversaries who exploit poor identity. This reality has moved the responsibility for risk onto the shoulders of the team tasked with protecting the organization from attacks, namely security. Which ultimately means the CISO. However, there’s a major blind spot in this conversation: non-human identities (NHIs). This is a critical oversight. We are witnessing non-human identities (NHIs) outnumber humans by a factor of at least 45-to-one in the enterprise, with some estimates as high as 100 to 1. As organizations accelerate to deliver more code and products faster than ever, the number of these machine identities, such as service accounts, APIs, and automated workloads, will continually increase this imbalance. LLMs and the rapid adoption of new coding assistants and AI productivity tools will only rapidly accelerate this trend.

Next.js Theming: CSS Variables for Adaptive Data Visualization

Aggregated on: 2025-03-04 12:13:02

Theming is not just a choice but an important feature in modern web and mobile applications, as it allows for a more personalized, seamless, and tailored user experience. Theming becomes a must-have feature for SaaS applications integrating into other applications. Traditional theming techniques often involve hardcoded styles and rigid code configurations. This creates issues in the maintenance and scaling of applications. Furthermore, complexity grows even more when an application supports multiple themes across web and mobile devices. Modern CSS frameworks come with built-in theming support, but often, the themes they provide are fixed and don’t fit the needs of enterprise applications.

Handling Dynamic Data Using Schema Evolution in Delta

Aggregated on: 2025-03-03 22:28:02

One of the biggest challenges of managing data nowadays is its constantly changing nature. We recently came across a requirement to ingest survey data and send it for sentimental analysis. The survey data is very dynamic, and even for existing surveys, new questions will be added, modified, or deleted. As the data source evolves and adapts to new changes, the challenge is how to deal with the dynamically changing data to be represented in a table format. We implemented this by leveraging the schema evolution feature in Delta tables.

Thread-Safety Pitfalls in XML Processing

Aggregated on: 2025-02-28 13:28:00

Do you think the method children() below is thread-safe? Java children() { NodeList nodes = this.node.getChildNodes(); int length = nodes.getLength(); return Stream.iterate(0, idx -> idx + 1) .limit(length) .map(nodes::item) .map(SafeXml::new); } }" data-lang="text/x-java"> import java.util.stream.Stream; import org.w3c.dom.Node; import org.w3c.dom.NodeList; public final class SafeXml { private final Node node; SafeXml(final Node node) { this.node = node.cloneNode(true); } public Stream<SafeXml> children() { NodeList nodes = this.node.getChildNodes(); int length = nodes.getLength(); return Stream.iterate(0, idx -> idx + 1) .limit(length) .map(nodes::item) .map(SafeXml::new); } } Of course, since I’m asking this question, the answer is no. For those who haven’t had the pleasure of working with XML in Java (yes, it’s still alive), the org.w3c.dom package is not thread-safe. There are no guarantees, even for just reading data from an XML document in a multi-threaded environment.

Loss Functions: The Key to Improving AI Predictions

Aggregated on: 2025-02-28 12:43:00

How Good Is an AI Model at Forecasting? We can put an actual number on it. In machine learning, a loss function tracks the degree of error in the output from an AI model by quantifying the difference or the loss between a predicted value and the actual value. If the model’s predictions are accurate, the difference between these two numbers — the loss — is small. If the predictions are inaccurate, the loss is larger. For example, a colleague built an AI model to forecast how many views his videos would receive on YouTube. The model was fed YouTube titles and forecasted the number of views the video would receive in its first week. When comparing the model’s forecasts to the actual number of views, the predictions were not very accurate. The model predicted that the cold brew video would bomb and that the pour-over guide video would be a hit, but this wasn’t the case. This is a hard problem to solve, and loss functions can help improve the model.

STRIDE: A Guide to Threat Modeling and Secure Implementation

Aggregated on: 2025-02-27 20:43:00

Threat modeling is often perceived as an intimidating exercise reserved for security experts. However, this perception is misleading. Threat modeling is designed to help envision a system or application from an attacker's perspective. Developers can also adopt this approach to design secure systems from the ground up. This article uses real-world implementation patterns to explore a practical threat model for a cloud monitoring system. What Is Threat Modeling? Shostack (2014) states that threat modeling is "a structured approach to identifying, evaluating, and mitigating risks to system security." Simply put, it requires developers and architects to visualize a system from an attacker’s perspective. Entry points, exit points, and system boundaries are evaluated to understand how they could be compromised. An effective threat model blends architectural precision with detective-like analysis. Threat modeling is not a one-time task but an ongoing process that evolves as systems change and new threats emerge.

The Micronaut Framework Overview This is a recently developed framework aimed to develop faster microservices and serverless services. Its main feature of compile-time dependency injection results in faster startup times and less memory usage. It has built-in support for cloud environments and serverless deployments and can be integrated with GraalVM. This makes the Micronaut framework suitable for applications where resource utilization is paramount.

Handling Embedded Data in NoSQL With Java

Aggregated on: 2025-02-27 17:28:00

NoSQL databases differ from relational databases by allowing more complex structures without requiring traditional relationships such as one-to-many or one-to-one. Instead, NoSQL databases leverage flexible types, such as arrays or subdocuments, to store related data efficiently within a single document. This flexibility enables developers to design models that suit their application's querying and performance needs. Jakarta NoSQL is a Java framework that simplifies interactions with NoSQL databases, including MongoDB. It provides annotations that determine how data is mapped and stored, allowing developers to control whether embedded objects are grouped or stored in a flat manner.

The Outbox Pattern: Reliable Messaging in Distributed Systems

Aggregated on: 2025-02-27 15:43:00

The Outbox Pattern is a design pattern in distributed systems that is used to ensure reliable event publishing and state consistency between different services or databases. It is primarily used in scenarios like when a system is required to update a database and publish events atomically. In distributed systems, there are often challenges in maintaining consistency during the process of writing to a database and sending messages. For example, consider a payment processing system where you are required to update the transaction status in the database and send an event to another service about the status that got updated (e.g., payment confirmation event). If either the database update fails or the message fails publishing fails, inconsistencies can arise in the current system or another system that failed to consume the event, potentially leading to business losses.

Identity and Access Management Solution to Safeguard LLMs

Aggregated on: 2025-02-26 22:12:59

In the era of artificial intelligence, the use of large language models (LLMs) is increasing rapidly. These models offer amazing opportunities but also introduce new privacy and security challenges. One of the essential security measures to address these challenges involves securing access to the LLMs so that only authorized individuals have access to data and permissions to perform any action. This can be achieved using identity and access management (IAM). Identity and access management act as a security guard for critical data and systems. This approach operates just like a physical security guard who controls who can enter a building and who has access to security camera footage. When entering a building, security guards can ask for your identity, where you live, etc. They can also keep an eye on your activity around or inside the building if they see something suspicious. Similarly, identity and access management ensure that only authorized individuals can enter and access large language models. IAM also keeps a log of user activities to identify suspicious behavior.

How to Scale Elasticsearch to Solve Your Scalability Issues

Aggregated on: 2025-02-26 20:42:59

With the evolution of modern applications serving increasing needs for real-time data processing and retrieval, scalability does, too. One such open-source, distributed search and analytics engine is Elasticsearch, which is very efficient at handling data in large sets and high-velocity queries. However, the process for effectively scaling Elasticsearch can be nuanced, since one needs a proper understanding of the architecture behind it and of performance tradeoffs. While Elasticsearch’s distributed nature lets it scale horizontally, that also introduces more complexities in how data is spread and queries served. One of the theoretical challenges associated with scaling Elasticsearch is its inherently distributed nature. In most practical scenarios, reads on a standalone node will always outperform reads in a sharded cluster. This is because, in a sharded cluster, data ownership is spread across multiple nodes. That means every query may have to shoot multiple requests to different nodes, aggregate the results back at the coordinating node, and return the result. This extra network overhead will easily result in increased latency compared to a single-node architecture where data access is straightforward.

If we take a step back and consider that many organizations have come to terms with the importance of software for their business' success, it is clear that developers are critical employees not just for software companies but for every organization. It is as Satya Nadella famously stated:

Non-Human Identity Security in the Age of AI

Aggregated on: 2025-02-25 22:42:59

It is not a coincidence that non-human identities (NHIs) have come into focus recently while AI-powered tools and autonomous agents are rapidly being adopted. In fact, this is partially what is driving the explosion of NHIs in the enterprise. This has sparked a lot of research and conversations about machine identity and governance. Like human users of systems, NHIs, such as AI agents, bots, scripts, and cloud workloads, operate using secrets. These credentials grant access to sensitive systems and data. They can take many forms and must always be accounted for, from creation to offboarding. Unlike humans, machines can't use multifactor authentication or passkeys, and developers can generate hundreds of these credentials through their work deploying applications.
