Today, organizations can build a robust, end-to-end data infrastructure with a fraction of the in-house engineering resources. Livesport — a provider of real-time data, results, and statistics for virtually all sporting events around the globe — recognized this early on when building their data team. Livesport was already using BigQuery as a data warehouse for […]

In the increasingly competitive generative AI space, developers are looking for scalable and cost-effective means of differentiation and ways to improve user experience. Last week, we announced several enhancements to Memorystore for Redis, evolving it into a core building block for developers who are creating low-latency generative AI applications. First, we launched native Memorystore support […]

The world of AI has undergone a transformation with the rise of large language models (LLMs). These advanced models, often regarded as the zenith of current natural language processing (NLP) innovations, excel at crafting human-like text for a wide array of domains. A trend gaining traction is the tailoring of LLMs for specific fields — […]

Spanner, Google Cloud’s fully managed, highly available distributed database service, combines virtually-unlimited horizontal scalability with relational semantics, for both relational and non-relational workloads — all with a 99.999% availability SLA. As data volumes grow and applications demand more from their operational databases, customers need scale. We recently announced support for searching vector embeddings with exact […]

Creating and managing the security of Kubernetes clusters is a lot like building or renovating a house. Both require making concessions across many areas when trying to find a balance between security, usability and maintainability. For homeowners, these choices include utility and aesthetic options, such as installing floors, fixtures, benchtops, and tiles. They also include […]

At any given time, eBay’s marketplace has more than 1.9 billion listings from millions of different sellers, running the gamut from the latest gadgets to the most obscure collectibles. Using deep machine learning (ML), AI-driven search capabilities, and natural language processing (NLP), we have streamlined the user experience, making it easier to explore and find […]

Platform engineering, rooted in DevOps principles, streamlines developer experience and boosts productivity through automated infrastructure and self-service tools. In this blog, we’ll talk about how Google Kubernetes Engine (GKE) enables you to build a secure, scalable internal developer platform in Google Cloud for fast and reliable application delivery. Adopting a modern architecture with cloud-first infrastructure […]

We’re excited to announce a new partnership with Elastic to support their Elastic Cloud on Kubernetes (ECK) product on GKE in Autopilot mode of operation. Customers can now take advantage of the combined benefits of GKE Autopilot and ECK for their search, observability and security needs, all running on infrastructure that provides a fully managed […]

Announcing the BigQuery entity resolution frameworkIn today’s data-driven world, fragmented information can paint a blurry picture of your users and customers. Connecting the dots between disparate records to reveal a unified identity is a common challenge. Manual data matching is error-prone, time-consuming, and does not scale. That’s where entity resolution can provide critical value. Whether […]

gRPC is a modern open-source, high-performance Remote Procedure Call (RPC) framework that plays a critical role in efficiently connecting microservices. Spring, meanwhile, is a popular framework that provides a flexible, modular programming model, comprehensive infrastructure integrations with a rich ecosystem and community support. Imagine if you could use these two popular technologies together? In this […]
