Holding onto old BI technology while everything else moves forward is holding back organizations. Traditional Business Intelligence (BI) aren’t built for modern data platforms and don’t work on modern architectures.

The Miami-Illinois language of the Miami Tribe of Oklahoma (Myaamiaki tribe) fell dormant during the 19th and 20th centuries, at a time when Indigenous populations faced forced relocations and abusive boarding schools, where children were forced to assimilate and were punished for using their own language. It wasn’t until the 1990s that Indigenous rights were recognized by the US government, along with the right to their heritage, language, and culture.

When it comes to keeping our digital world secure, there’s a saying that really hits home: “ You can’t protect what you can’t see.” It’s a reminder that without a clear view of our data and systems, we’re leaving ourselves vulnerable to all sorts of risks. That’s where centralized visibility comes in. By bringing together information from different sources and analyzing it, we gain a powerful tool to identify and respond to potential threats.

Caching is a useful technique to improve performance or avoid overload of services. There are many solutions available, and in AWS one of them is using DynamoDB. Using DynamoDB as a cache to store data with a limited time to live (TTL) made sense in our use case. We were already using the database for client data. Using it as a cache allowed us to limit the number of services we needed expertise on.

Why do we have to have a conversation about maintaining our infrastructure? When you build a road, you know it’s going to deteriorate. You build a bridge, the engineers will tell you upfront what the serviceable life of that bridge will be. And they even have fun graphs that show the downward curve of the bridge’s reliability over time. Are conversations about how we will maintain our business, work, or team infrastructure more difficult topics for some leaders?
