Enterprise AI

Artificial intelligence (AI) has continued to change the way the world views what is technologically possible. Moving from theoretical to implementable, the emergence of technologies like ChatGPT allowed users of all backgrounds to leverage the power of AI. Now, companies across the globe are taking a deeper dive into their own AI and machine learning (ML) capabilities; they’re measuring the modes of success needed to become truly AI-driven, moving beyond baseline business intelligence goals and expanding to more innovative uses in areas such as security, automation, and performance.In DZone’s Enterprise AI Trend Report, we take a pulse on the industry nearly a year after the ChatGPT phenomenon and evaluate where individuals and their organizations stand today. Through our original research that forms the “Key Research Findings” and articles written by technical experts in the DZone Community, readers will find insights on topics like ethical AI, MLOps, generative AI, large language models, and much more.

Database Systems

This data-forward, analytics-driven world would be lost without its database and data storage solutions. As more organizations continue to transition their software to cloud-based systems, the growing demand for database innovation and enhancements has climbed to novel heights. We are upon a new era of the "Modern Database," where databases must both store data and ensure that data is prepped and primed securely for insights and analytics, integrity and quality, and microservices and cloud-based architectures.In our 2023 Database Systems Trend Report, we explore these database trends, assess current strategies and challenges, and provide forward-looking assessments of the database technologies most commonly used today. Further, readers will find insightful articles — written by several of our very own DZone Community experts — that cover hand-selected topics, including what "good" database design is, database monitoring and observability, and how to navigate the realm of cloud databases.

Trend Report

Database Systems

Every modern application and organization collects data. With that, there is a constant demand for database systems to expand, scale, and take on more responsibilities. Database architectures have become more complex, and as a result, there are more implementation choices. An effective database management system allows for quick access to database queries, and an organization can efficiently make informed decisions. So how does one effectively scale a database system and not sacrifice its quality?Our Database Systems Trend Report offers answers to this question by providing industry insights into database management selection and evaluation criteria. It also explores database management patterns for microservices, relational database migration strategies, time series compression algorithms and their applications, advice for the best data governing practices, and more. The goal of this report is to set up organizations for scaling success.
