Embracing Shift-Left in Data Architecture

In the rapidly evolving digital landscape, the way we approach data architecture is undergoing a transformative shift. This shift is not just about adopting new technologies but about fundamentally rethinking our approach to data management, governance and architecture design. Welcome to the concept of "Shift-Left Data Architecture" – a methodology that promises to set the foundation for future-ready data ecosystems.

As data's role in decision-making, operations and machine learning has become increasingly critical, the need for a more proactive approach has become evident. We need to reconsider traditional methods where data considerations, and supporting ML often came later in the development process, which led to inefficiencies, increased costs, and data quality and outcomes issues. By shifting left, organizations can avoid costly revisions, enhance data security, and ensure that their data architecture is robust and scalable.

Join us to learn more about this new era in data architectures, the building blocks of a shift-left architecture, the tools and technologies that enable it, and gain insights on how to implement these principles effectively within your organization.

OpenSearch Cluster Topologies for Cost-Saving Autoscaling

The indexing rates of many clusters follow some sort of fluctuating pattern - be it day/night, weekday/weekend, or any sort of duality when the cluster changes from being active to less active.  In these cases how does one scale the cluster?
