  • Global Data Replication for Improved API Performance and Availability

    Content may be king, but API traffic makes up most requests between a user and an application. APIs provide data and personalization critical to users' experience but don't benefit from caching in the traditional sense. Instead, accelerating APIs needs global reach and an architecture that can quickly sync read-replicas to minimize latency and failures. In this webinar, we'll cover best practices to help improve the performance and availability of APIs regardless of the backend technology stack. Read More

  • Unleash Innovation with Multi-Cloud

    There’s a reason only 32% of global data is currently being put to work. Though projections expect 180 zettabytes of data will be created by 2025, these deep troves of information are often locked up, behind skills gaps, data gravity problems, and incomplete hybrid architectures. Even when the data is accessible, diverse teams struggle to collaborate to create, refine, understand, govern, and innovate with their data. Meanwhile, costs are always a factor. Amidst all these challenges — is there a better way? In this session, Faction CTO Matt Wallace will explore: - How a multi-cloud approach solves data gravity and skills gravity - How multi-cloud creates huge cost and innovation advantages over “multiple clouds” - What the future of data warehouses, data lakes, and innovation looks like - How a fluid, hybrid multi-cloud approach can give you the best of all worlds - and what pitfalls to avoid that drive up cost and complexity Read More
