What are the Top Startups in Africa?

Integrating state-of-the-art AI models into your projects can be challenging due to the complexities of different AI models and managing numerous dependencies. IntelliNode, an open-source JavaScript library, aims to simplify this process by providing developers with a unified and easy-to-use interface to access the latest AI models. In this blog post, we'll demonstrate how to build a [Jasper ai]-like platform using IntelliNode to generate marketing copy, images, and audio for various products. Use Case For this tutorial, let's assume we want to create a content generation platform to generate marketing copy for various products, images, and audio. This platform will help businesses create engaging content for their marketing campaigns without manual work. We'll start by setting up the IntelliNode library, develop the backend functionality, and then connect it to a user interface. The outcome will be a user-friendly website where users can input a simple prompt and have marketing materials automatically generated for their needs. We will only work a little in frontend styling in this post as our focus is AI integration, but you can add styling to the website, like the screenshots. The code structure can also be adapted to generate a variety of materials, such as blog posts. Getting Started with IntelliNode First, add the module to your node.js project by running in an empty folder: IntelliNode npm init -y
npm i intellinode Create the following files inside the folder as we will use them in the next steps to fill the code content: : for the frontend html code. index.html : we will add the backend code here. app.js : for the frontend javascript code. front.js AI model code Now, let's create an object containing our IntelliNode code to generate text, images, and audio and store it in . The code will call three functions: app.js : This method inputs a prompt and generates marketing text. It requires an API key for the language model. get_marketing_desc(prompt, apiKey) : This method takes a prompt as input and generates an image description used to generate the image. It requires two API keys, one for the language model and another for the image generation model. generate_image_from_desc(prompt, openaiKey, stabilityKey) : generate audio from the input text. It requires an API key for the speech synthesis model. generate_speech_synthesis(text, apiKey) const {
    Gen
} = require("intellinode");

const intelliCode = {
    async generateText(prompt) {
        const openaiKey = "<openai-key>";
        return await Gen.get_marketing_desc(prompt, apiKey);
    },

    async generateImage(prompt) {
        const openaiKey = "<openai-key>";
        const stabilityKey = "<stability.ai-key>";
        return await Gen.generate_image_from_desc(prompt, openaiKey, stabilityKey);
    },

    async generateAudio(text, base64 = true) {
        const apiKey = "<google-cloud-key>";
        const audioContent = await Gen.generate_speech_synthesis(text, apiKey);
        return base64 ? audioContent : Buffer.from(audioContent, "base64");
    },
}; Backend code Next, let's create the backend functionality using the object we just created. intelliCode Let's start by installing express: npm i express Add the following backend script to : app.js const express = require('express');
// .. intelli node import ..

// .. intelli code node here ...

const app = express();
app.use(express.json());
// serve static files
const path = require("path");
app.use(express.static(path.join(__dirname)));

app.post("/generate-content", async (req, res) => {
    const {
        product
    } = req.body;

    const textPrompt = `Write a marketing copy for ${product}`;

    const text = await intelliCode.generateText(textPrompt);

    // const imagePrompt = `Generate an image for ${product}`;
    const imageData = await intelliCode.generateImage(text);

    const audioData = await intelliCode.generateAudio(text);

    res.send({
        text: text,
        imageData: imageData,
        audioData: audioData,
    });
});

const PORT = process.env.PORT || 3000;
app.listen(PORT, () => console.log(`Server listening on port ${PORT}`)); Connecting to a User Interface Now that we have our backend, we can connect it to a simple frontend using HTML, and JavaScript. Add the following content inside file : index.html <!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
  <head>
    <meta charset="UTF-8">
    <meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0">
    <title>Jasper-like Content Generation Platform</title>
    <link rel="stylesheet" href="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/bootstrap@4.3.1/dist/css/bootstrap.min.css">
  </head>
  <body>
    <div class="container mt-5">
      <h1 class="mb-5 text-center">Jasper-like Content Generation Platform</h1>
      <form id="content-form" class="mb-5">
        <div class="mb-3">
          <label for="product" class="form-label">Product:</label>
          <input type="text" class="form-control" id="product" name="product">
        </div>
        <button type="submit" class="btn btn-primary">Generate Content</button>
      </form>
      <div id="loading" class="text-center d-none">
        <div class="spinner-border" role="status">
          <span class="visually-hidden"></span>
        </div>
      </div>
      <div id="results" class="d-none">
        <h2 class="mb-3">Generated Text:</h2>
        <p id="generated-text"></p>
        <h2 class="mb-3">Generated Image:</h2>
        <img id="generated-image" src="" alt="Generated Image" class="img-fluid">
        <h2 class="mb-3">Generated Audio:</h2>
        <audio id="generated-audio" controls src=""></audio>

    </div>
    <script src="front.js"></script>

    <script src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/bootstrap@4.3.1/dist/js/bootstrap.min.js"></script>
  </body>
</html> Lastly, create a file to handle the form submission and display the results: front.js document.getElementById('content-form').addEventListener('submit', async (e) => {
    e.preventDefault();

    const product = document.getElementById('product').value;

    // Show loading spinner
    document.getElementById('loading').classList.remove('d-none');

    try {
        const response = await fetch('/generate-content', {
            method: 'POST',
            headers: {
                'Content-Type': 'application/json'
            },
            body: JSON.stringify({
                product: product
            })
        });
        const data = await response.json();

        // Hide loading spinner and show results
        document.getElementById('loading').classList.add('d-none');
        document.getElementById('results').classList.remove('d-none');

        document.getElementById('generated-text').innerText = data.text;

        // Convert image data to data URL
        const imageDataUrl = `${data.imageData}`;
        document.getElementById('generated-image').src = imageDataUrl;

        // Convert audio data to data URL
        const audioDataUrl = `data:audio/mpeg;base64,${data.audioData}`;
        document.getElementById('generated-audio').src = audioDataUrl;
    } catch (error) {
        // Hide loading spinner and show an error message
        document.getElementById('loading').classList.add('d-none');
        alert('An error occurred while generating content. Please try again.');
    }
}); You can run the server: node app.js Open your browser and navigate to . You should see the user interface for your content generation platform. http://localhost:3000 You now have a fully functional platform that integrates with multiple AI models. The response might take some time because the code waits for all models' output before displaying the results. To improve the user experience, consider fetching results from each model separately. You can find the full code in below sample folder, including the code that fetch each model separately for a faster performance: [ ] Sample code repo , developers can utilize multiple AI models with different capabilities to build compelling use cases, and libraries like IntelliNode make it easy to access all the models from one module. In conclusion

How to Build a Jasper-like Content Generation Platform Using Node.js 

The healthcare industry has been grappling with a severe shortage of personnel, a growing challenge that has been exacerbated by an aging population and rising demand for healthcare services. According to an (ACHE), workforce challenges ranked number one on the list of hospital CEO top concerns in 2022. annual survey conducted by the American College of Healthcare Executives Shortages in the healthcare workforce became a large problem for clinical operations, hospitals, and physician practices. Healthcare organizations across the United States are facing workforce shortages with nurses, physicians, and many other clinical roles reported. HealthLeaders To combat this shortage, technology leaders such as Philips are increasingly turning to AI to improve efficiency, accuracy, and productivity in healthcare operations. global report shows that market leaders in healthcare are trying to address staffing shortages with AI. Philips Future Health Index 2023 According to the study, major investments are focused on improving critical decision support and operational efficiency, which will also help address staffing shortages. First of all, marketers are concerned about staffing shortages and are looking to properly address the problem with AI and machine learning, which will help them do more with less. The second thing the authors of the report saw was that, coming out of the pandemic, there is still a large demand for online care. 82% of healthcare leaders say their organizations are already providing intensive care or resuscitation supported by online work today (41%) or plan to in the next three years (41%). Online care plays a vital role in attracting and retaining talent, with 44% of young healthcare professionals indicating that new models of care delivery are a top priority when choosing where to work. One in three (34%) healthcare leaders are building partnerships outside of their system to be able to provide the best care possible. In this post, I will explore how Philips is using AI to address healthcare personnel shortages and improve patient outcomes. AI-powered tools are changing the game in the healthcare industry by analyzing vast amounts of medical data to help healthcare professionals make more accurate diagnoses. Philips has developed an innovative AI-powered diagnostic imaging tool called , which helps radiologists detect diseases earlier and with higher accuracy, reducing the burden on healthcare personnel while increasing the efficiency and accuracy of the diagnostic process. IntelliSpace In the face of healthcare personnel shortages, Philips is also utilizing AI in telemedicine. It has developed a telehealth platform called which uses AI to provide remote monitoring and consultation for patients with chronic conditions. eCareCoordinator, This technology enables doctors to provide care remotely, reducing the need for in-person consultations and reducing the burden on healthcare personnel. AI-powered virtual assistants are helping to improve the efficiency of healthcare operations, freeing up healthcare personnel to focus on more complex tasks. Philips has developed a virtual assistant for patients with chronic diseases called , which can perform tasks such as scheduling appointments, answering patient questions, and updating medical records. eCareCompanion This technology reduces the burden on healthcare personnel and allows them to focus on more complex tasks, such as diagnosing and treating patients. Philips is also using AI-powered predictive analytics to identify patients who are at high risk of developing health problems. By analyzing medical data, AI algorithms can identify patterns that indicate a patient is at risk of developing a specific condition. Predictive analytics engine enables hospitals to manage their patient populations by proactively identifying at-risk patients most likely to need emergency transport in the next 30 days, helping prevent avoidable hospitalizations. CareSage Robotic surgery has become more sophisticated in recent years, and with the help of AI, it is becoming even more advanced. Philips has developed a platform called , which uses AI to assist doctors during surgeries. Azurion This technology helps doctors perform complex surgeries with greater accuracy and precision, reducing the risk of complications. It also enables remote surgeries, making it possible for doctors to provide surgical services in areas with a shortage of qualified personnel. There is no doubt  that AI will become the backbone of hospital operations in the future, allowing healthcare providers to see more patients and provide better care. We can expect to see even more innovative solutions to address the shortage of healthcare personnel in the nearest future. Disclaimer: AI was used to write portions of this article. Specifically, it was used to write a number of key paragraphs, namely paragraphs 10-12.

Photo by on Nahel Abdul Hadi Unsplash When you hear the word 'hacking', the first thing that pops in your head is how cool they look in the movies—I mean, they are cool in real life as well, but it is not the same. Hackers are not only there to break into your websites or accounts; they are there to provide security and improve it as well. They do it by finding different ways to break into an application—these are called vulnerabilities, and they report them to the company that owns the application. The company then sees to it that it does not happen again by improving their security. In this blog, I am going to be sharing the roadmap and the resources that you can use to become an ethical hacker.

23 Common Data Science Interview Questions for Beginners

In this guide, you’ll learn all about refactoring source code: the , , , and , and what is the between refactoring and technical debt. benefits challenges tools best practices difference We’re all looking at ways to clean up our code, reduce complexity and improve functionality. Refactoring provides a way forward. This guide will  cover the following topics: What is refactoring? What are the benefits of refactoring? Technical debt vs refactoring Refactoring metrics Code refactoring examples Code refactoring tools Refactoring and the challenge for Engineering Managers Senior Management support for refactoring Team support and refactoring: sprint or marathon? Documentation and refactoring What is Refactoring? According to , author of two books on refactoring: Martin Fowler ”Refactoring is the process of changing a software system in such a way that it does not alter the external behavior of the code yet improves its internal structure. It is a disciplined way to clean up code that minimizes the chances of introducing bugs. In essence when you refactor you are improving the design of the code after it has been written.” What are the Benefits of Refactoring? Source code refactoring offers numerous advantages. It turns messy, incorrect and / or repetitive code into clean code. It addresses the standardization problems which can occur when multiple developers contribute their own code. Refactoring provides greater readability and improves the maintainability of the source code as well as the overall structure and functionality. Refactoring can make code easier to expand upon and add new features. Removing unnecessary parts such as duplications can also result in code that uses less memory and performs faster. For example, in 2014, Kickstarter engineers were faced with the challenge of exponential growth in the number of users which caused degradation of query performance. In response, they a MySQL query to Redis and cut over 100ms off typical load times, resulting in a reduced variance of load time and an overall faster site. refactored Technical Debt Vs. Refactoring Simply put, refactoring is a way of removing or decreasing technical debt. Refactoring is essential to maintain long-term code quality, security, and performance. Without factoring regularly, developers are left with a mammoth amount of . technical debt This debt grows as more opportunities for code refactoring are missed and as a result, new development becomes difficult especially that built on legacy code. Refactoring Metrics Using metrics allows you to prioritize the main fixing action you really need to make to your code. It stops you from trying to do everything all at once and focuses on the most essential tasks first. Further, you need metrics to qualify the efficacy of source code refactoring - To gain real value you need tests, both unit (such as the number of failed unit tests) and functional. Other metrics could include finding less bugs and reduced - refactoring should aim to decrease complexity. Methods or functions with high complexity (such as those over 350 lines) are good refactoring targets. it’s not just about changing inefficient code, but changing inefficient code to add value . cyclomatic complexity It’s also worth considering how refactoring fits with broader team objectives or milestones in regard to workflow and tasks. This should include smaller code size and more understandable code. Code Refactoring Examples There are examples of code refactoring, but for brevity, we’re going to focus on a few: numerous Red, Green, Refactor Refactoring goes hand-in-hand with unit testing. One of the most common forms is Test-Driven Development (TDD) inherent to the Agile methodology. You write the tests before writing the code. In essence, the tests should drive the program, stating what the code should do. Red, Green, Refactor is an example of TDD: Red: Write a test suite without implementation code, ensuring it fails. Green: Write the implementation code, just enough so the test suite passes. Refactor: Look for ways to optimize and improve your code. Extract method ( aka Extract function ) Move a fragment of code from an existing method into a new method that is clearly named to explain its function. This technique helps reduce complexity and improve the readability of code. Extract variable If you come across an expression that is hard to understand or it is duplicated in several places throughout your code, Extract Variable refactoring can place the result of such an expression or its part into a separate variable that is less complex and easier to understand. This reduces complexity and code duplication. Branch by Abstraction Branch by Abstraction is for making a large-scale change to a software system in a gradual way that allows you to release the system regularly while the change is still in progress. This removes the complexities of refactoring code on a branch where problems can arise when you try to merge the code. Compose Method Excessively long code is hard to understand and hard to change. The Compose method refers to a range of actions that can be used to streamline methods and remove code duplication. These include Inline Method, Inline Temp, , , and remove assignments to parameters. Replace Temp with Query split temporary variables Code Refactoring Tools Do you need specialist tools for refactoring? Martin Fowler says that automated tools are helpful, but not essential. He notes: “Many languages have IDEs which automate many common refactorings. These are a really valuable part of my toolkit allowing me to carry out refactoring faster. But such tools aren't essential - I often work in programming languages without tool support, in which case I rely on taking small steps, and using frequent testing to detect mistakes.” Many development environments automate the mechanical aspects of refactoring. Keycode refactoring tools are: Visual studio intellicode Eclipse IDE Spring Tool Suite 4 Rider IntelliJ IDEA SonarQube Refactoring and the Challenge for Engineering Managers To address the problems that have caused the need for refactoring requires an exploration of how your company functions. Before starting the process of refactoring, answer a few questions: What tasks get first preference? What’s the speed of development? Do developers feel pressure to ship code quickly? What processes are in place to deal with technical debt? What kinds of code reviews are undertaken? Is your team appropriately skilled for refactoring? What are the company standards for documentation? Without addressing the underlying problems that cause the need for refactoring, the problem will only proliferate. Senior Management Support for Refactoring Investing in infrastructure and maintenance may not be popular in your company. It’s easy to argue that time spent refactoring is time spent away from new work. But it's worth looking at the bigger benefits of refactoring and how they relate to workflow, clients, revenue, and business growth.  Refactoring, done well, improves the code that needs to function well to deliver effective updates and trending features that appeal to new and returning customers. This is how a software company remains competitive even long after a successful product release. Even better is to get buy-in for refactoring from senior management by quantifying how much time the team currently spends fixing errors or bugs due to problems in the original code. Be specific, is it one hour a day? Two hours a day? Keep a record over a week, you might be shocked to learn your team spends weeks or months every year fixing legacy code. Team Support and Refactoring: Sprint or Marathon? Is refactoring a hard sell to your team? Do people groan when it’s mentioned? The biggest markers for successful refactoring are actions that are planned, purposeful, and documented. Ron Jeffries, one of the three founders of the Extreme Programming software development methodology,  likens refactoring to : clearing a field “We take the next feature that we are asked to build, and instead of detouring around all the weeds and bushes, we take the time to clear a path through some of them.” However, he stresses that bad code takes a long time to clean up and espouses a more thoughtful approach than simply diving in: “We improve the code where we work, and ignore the code where we don't have to work. Odds are, we'll visit this place again. Often within the same Sprint, we find that a subsequent feature actually uses an area we just previously cleaned. We start to get a benefit from the incremental refactoring right away. Had we waited to do it in a big batch, we'd have put in more effort, delayed any benefits until later still, and likely wasted effort on places that don't provide benefit yet.” Product engineer and CTO is a fan of the Fix-it Friday. Andreas Klinger “The rule of Fix-it Friday is simple: unless your current project is on fire, use Fridays to invest in little improvements. Let engineers choose what they work on. Try not to take the “fun” out of this by micromanaging. Some will try out new libraries. Some will remove bugs from the backlog. Both are fine. Try encouraging a balance of tasks.” Whatever your approach, it needs to be considered. Ask your team what code is most hindering their efficiency. What code-fixing will have the highest impact upon your other code? What fixes will offer the biggest return? It’s unlikely that you’ll have a large dedicated chunk of time to dedicate to refactoring at the expense of all other projects, but don’t underestimate the impact of regular, consistent, dedicated small refactors. These add up and combined, have a significant benefit. Documentation and Refactoring Documentation such as standardising naming conventions can ensure everyone is on the same page. Research into reviewing refactoring by senior developers at Xerox found a lack of documentation to be one of the biggest challenges. Documenting your refactoring work leads to a trail of time spent and provides context for future team members. Also, document your successes - what have been the biggest wins from refactoring? Can these be factored into peer reviews? Drowning in code that needs refactoring and technical debt? Luckily, there's the tool that can help your team track and prioritise technical debt based on time lost, team morale, and business impact. Stepsize Previously published here .

AI Is The Future Of The Healthcare Industry

10 Best IDE Software to Consider in 2021

This year was a special edition of MS Build; for obvious reasons, it was 100% virtual. I must say that I had my doubts at first, but I'm forced to admit that Microsoft nailed it. The experience was fantastic. I liked the personal schedule builder and the rebroadcast in 3 different timezones, to only name a few things. Microsoft even took the time to ship the conference's gear to all attendees, DIRECTLY to their doorstep, what a nice touch. There were over 600 sessions, running 24h/day continuously. Unfortunately, this recap only covers what I was able to watch. If you see something missing, don't hesitate to engage in the comments down below. Recap Empowering every developer, with Satya Nadella Once again, Satya had a very compelling opening keynote. He remembered everyone that in a world constantly changing, the developer is more important than ever. Microsoft is building the best toolchain to empower those developers. No big announcements from his part, but he highlighted some critical aspects of the conference to keep on eye on: GitHub VSCode PowerPlatform Azure O365 Every developer is welcome, with Scott Hanselman and guests Scott was demoing some new vital tools in the developer environment, starting at the workstation's tooling. Winget Winget is a new tool to manage and script the installation of software packages. It will save developers a ton of time when they need to rebuild or set up their machines for a new project. PowerToys He showed some of the features of , namely fancy zones, which I must admit is pretty awesome to arrange your working space in a more efficient way. PowerToys WSL 2.0 WSL 2.0 now support graphical applications, and there's even a new Linux file explorer GUI available. Windows terminal Windows terminal is finally out of beta and just hit version 1.0. CodeSpaces Developing applications has always been made working locally. This approach comes with some downsides. For instance, you need to have all the tools and other dependencies of the project installed locally. It tends to create snowflakes environment. How many times have you heard "Strange it works on my machine". Microsoft is coming with a new developer experience that runs entirely remotely. (formerly VS online) is a new tool that enables you to spin a complete dev environment in the cloud, on a remote machine. Then you can develop directly in your browser or connect to it with your favorite tools like VS Code or Visual Studio. CodeSpaces It's also now possible to spin up a fully functioning environment . It will come pretty handly to review a pull request. from a GitHub repository Collaboration is at the heart of this new experience. With LiveShare, you can collaborate with multiple people on that remote environment like you would in an Office document. This functionality will enable a whole new way of doing pair programming, mainly since most of us are still confined at home. Azure: Invent with Purpose That session started with some impressive statistics about the Microsoft Intelligent Cloud (a.k.a. Azure + O365). Used by 95% of Fortune 500 companies 61 azure regions, more than any other cloud provider MS Teams hosts 4.1 billion meeting minutes per day These are some pretty impressive numbers, and it seems they keep growing quarter after quarter. All of these remarkable services are built on top of the same building blocks that are publically available to you in Azure; ServiceFabric, Kuberbernates, Media Services, Redis, FrontDoor, etc. Microsoft wants to enable all the developers to focus on their application and not on the infrastructure supporting it. Speaking of which, they announced some new capabilities: AKS Windows container support for lift and shift scenarios Spot pricing for low priority workloads ComosDB A free tier that gives you 400 RU Serverless pricing where you only pay per consumption Auto-scale AI New cognitive services Synapse Synapse Link for real-time data analytics with no performance impacts on operational DB No ETL required Deep integration with PowerBI The Journey to One .NET First of all, there's a new kid on the block, Blazor WASM, which brings a new alternative for devs to run .NET in the browser to build rich client applications using the technology they know. It provides complete debugging capabilities in the browser. It's also possible to debug a full loop of Front-end and Back-end altogether in Visual Studio. It's the beginning of the unification of the whole .NET stack. Dotnet Core and Framework will be merged in the new version .NET 5. MAUI will be the evolution of Xamarin Forms and will bring a single UI that can target any platform like Android, iPhone, Windows, etc. Complete talk here C# Today & Tomorrow I think that session was my favorite. I must admit I'm a big fan of Functional Programming (FP) and especially F#. Microsoft showed some preview of what's coming in C# 9.0. Most of the new features are all about FP concepts and are implemented very similarly to F#, which will help bridge the gap between the two languages. Immutability in C# classes Simplicity, you can now skip some boilerplate code like Program.cs and the Main function Structural equality Better pattern matching With all of this, Microsoft will reach an even broader audience and onboard them in the rich ecosystem of C#. It will also provide all the necessary tools for C# developers to start playing with FP concepts and write better code. Making every developer and team more productive from dev box setup to coding to deployment and debugging Microsoft has always invested a lot in great tooling. Call me a fanboy, but Visual Studio and VS Code are, in my opinion, the two best IDE out there. They are now bringing an improved experience within collaborative development with chat and voice integration directly in LiveShare. Git support also got a significant revamp, improving how VS handles git repositories. IntelliCode got smarter; it's now able to suggest coding standards that your teammates are following. It will save a lot of comments in PR when onboarding new developers in a project. Infrastructure as code - build Azure applications with ARM templates Infrastructure as Code (IaC) is the new trend in DevOps practices, and Microsoft knows it. They are doubling down in their IaC technology, the ARM Templates. They added a useful new parameter that you can use in PowerShell or Azure CLI when deploying an ARM template. What-if will output all the changes that will be executed if you deploy that ARM Template. A great feature to validate impacts before deploying. There are also some new features to ARM template themselves: Auto-generation of parameter files Intellisense for ResourceId Improved schema Microsoft added TemplateSpec, a new way to package, version, and store ARM templates. It will help simplify the deployment of big infrastructures. The future of tech, with Kevin Scott and guests Microsoft has built one of the biggest supercomputers on earth (Top 5), putting it at the service of AI for everyone's benefit. They are improving their models and offering it to you as a service. They are also running a lot of research projects on it. In that session, they showed an AI that can automatically read a user requirement and write Python code that fulfills that requirement. What's impressive is that the generated code integrates flawlessly with existing code. Not only the code is accurate, but it's well written and easy to read. It's utterly indistinguishable from code written by a real person. I don't think this kind of capability will ever replace a good old developer, but it can indeed be an excellent tool to have to speed up the development of an application. Microsoft is one of the few providers that brings the AI at the edge. It enables the use of AI in the most challenging environments that don't always have a stable internet connection. On one of the demos, the equip a robot from Boston Robotics to make it fully autonomous. Accelerating enterprise app development with Power Platform The Power platform is having a lot of traction lately. It allows super rapid application development, which requires little to no code at all. It's currently used by more than 97% of the Fortune 500. This rich environment of tools for power users is also adding new services. Power Virtual Agent is a new automated chatbot build on top of the Microsoft bot framework. Other notable improvements ApplicationInsights & Azure Monitor Support for the OpenTelemetry standard Transaction correlation support for Azure Service Bus New visualization Merge of application and infrastructure logs for better correlation and diagnostics capabilities Azure SQL Serverless option, only pay for what you use Scale instantly Can event completely pause/resume your DB automatically (e.g., at night when there's no traffic) Azure Databricks and Sparks AAD authentication DataBricks pools DataBricks container services ZSkipping, a new algorithm that can bring up to 100x performance improvement DeltaLake Closing It does not entirely cover the event, but it should give you a good overview of the significant announcements. Thank you again, Microsoft, for organizing such a great online and free event. You can also consult for the complete list of announcements. the official book of news Previously published at https://blog.miguelbernard.com/my-ms-build-2020-recap/
