Description

Data processing that integrates both streaming and batch operations while being serverless, efficient, and budget-friendly. It offers a fully managed service for data processing, ensuring seamless automation in the provisioning and administration of resources. With horizontal autoscaling capabilities, worker resources can be adjusted dynamically to enhance overall resource efficiency. The innovation is driven by the open-source community, particularly through the Apache Beam SDK. This platform guarantees reliable and consistent processing with exactly-once semantics. Dataflow accelerates the development of streaming data pipelines, significantly reducing data latency in the process. By adopting a serverless model, teams can devote their efforts to programming rather than the complexities of managing server clusters, effectively eliminating the operational burdens typically associated with data engineering tasks. Additionally, Dataflow’s automated resource management not only minimizes latency but also optimizes utilization, ensuring that teams can operate with maximum efficiency. Furthermore, this approach promotes a collaborative environment where developers can focus on building robust applications without the distraction of underlying infrastructure concerns.

Description

eXplain is a robust tool developed by PKS Software GmbH for code analysis and the assessment of legacy systems, specifically aimed at performing in-depth evaluations of legacy applications on mainframe platforms like IBM i (AS/400) and IBM Z. This software allows organizations to gain insights into their software's contents, structural integrity, and identifies components that may be retained, improved, or phased out. By importing existing source code into a standalone "eXplain server," the tool eliminates the necessity for installations on the host system, utilizing sophisticated parsers to scrutinize programming languages such as COBOL, PL/I, Assembler, Natural, RPG, and JCL, along with information pertaining to databases like Db2, Adabas, and IMS, as well as job schedulers and transaction monitors. eXplain creates a centralized repository that functions as a knowledge hub, from which it can produce cross-language dependency graphs, data-flow diagrams, interface evaluations, groupings of related modules, and comprehensive reports on object and resource usage. This enables users to visualize relationships within the code, enhancing their understanding of the software landscape. Ultimately, eXplain empowers organizations to make informed decisions regarding the future of their legacy systems.
