Since 2013 the UK Government’s flagship ‘Cloud First’ policy has been at the forefront of enabling departments to shed their legacy IT architecture in order to meaningfully embrace digital transformation. The policy outlines that the cloud (and specifically, public cloud) be the default position for any new services; unless it can be demonstrated that other alternatives offer better value for money. .

Summary One of the most challenging aspects of building a data platform has nothing to do with pipelines and transformations. If you are putting your workflows into production, then you need to consider how you are going to implement data security, including access controls and auditing. Different databases and storage systems all have their own method of restricting access, and they are not all compatible with each other.

Danger of Big Data Big data is the rage.

The Curse of Dimensionality , or Large P, Small N, ((P >> N)) problem applies to the latter case of lots of variables measured on a relatively few number of samples.

Software leaders who are building applications based on Large Language Models (LLMs) often find it a challenge to achieve reliability. It’s no surprise given the non-deterministic nature of LLMs. To effectively create reliable LLM-based (often with RAG) applications, extensive testing and evaluation processes are crucial. This often ends up involving meticulous adjustments to prompts.
