The 5 Tools You Need to Simplify Data Distribution
In today's fast-paced world, users expect websites to load quickly, with nearly half expecting sites to load in two seconds or less. To meet these expectations, modern applications should be built using a hybrid cloud environment and microservices architecture. Hybrid clouds provide more control over on-premise tech infrastructure while leveraging public cloud resources for AI/ML needs. Microservices enable rapid application building and scaling by working on individual features as standalone units. However, data distribution challenges can arise when data is shared among multiple microservices. Containers make microservices architecture easier to manage, but a container orchestration platform like Kubernetes may not be sufficient for simplifying data management in applications built on traditional databases. An Active Everywhere database, such as DataStax Enterprise, built on Apache Cassandra's masterless architecture can help keep pace with performance expectations and ensure smooth data flow in hybrid cloud environments. By using containers, a container orchestration platform, and an Active Everywhere database like DataStax Enterprise, companies can build high-performance applications that drive competitive advantage gains while impressing customers and engaging teams.
