SD Times news digest: Dremio launches SQL Lakehouse Service, Fastly launched JavaScript in Compute@Edge, Crystal 1.1 released

The SQL lakehouse company Dremio announced its cloud-native SQL-based data lakehouse service, Dremio Cloud. 

The new service enables organizations to leverage no-copy open data architecture that eliminates the need to copy data into expensive and proprietary warehouses. It enables high-performance SQL workloads directly on cloud storage.

“We built Dremio to automatically handle any scale with consistent query performance so companies could achieve data democratization while only paying for what they truly need,” said Tomer Shiran, Dremio’s founder and chief product officer. “This type of cost-effective and highly performant scaling was a central design tenet of Dremio. We wanted to be sure data teams could achieve superior price-performance and trust the cost transparency of our platform.”

Fastly launched JavaScript in Compute@Edge 

Fastly announced the availability of JavaScript in Compute@Edge, which allows developers to build more flexibility in Fastly’s serverless environment. 

“Since we released Compute@Edge, JavaScript has been the most requested language to add, so it was top of our priority list once WebAssembly supported it. Today, we’re thrilled to open up a serverless, zero-cold start JavaScript offering with a reduced attack surface, compared to similar offerings on the market,” said Tyler McMullen, the CTO at Fastly. “With serverless computing on the rise, we hope this motivates continued adoption of a powerful technology for businesses as they build modern digital experiences.”

Since Fastly built Compute@Edge using WebAssembly, the technology allows Compute@Edge to scale with fast startup times so that developers don’t have to worry about cold start times.

Crystal 1.1 released

As part of the new release of Crystal, a general-purpose, object-oriented programming language, splats can now be embedded in enumerable literals and in type definitions.

Also, it’s now possible to access the top-level module with the special instance variable, and ‘NumberLiteral’ now includes a ‘to_number’ method to obtain the pure number, without any stringification.

Other changes include better error messages and documentation, several methods were annotated with expected types. The full list of language changes is available here. 

Salesforce completes Slack acquisition

“We have a once-in-a-generation opportunity to rethink and reshape how and where we work,” said Stewart Butterfield, Slack CEO and co-founder. “Salesforce and Slack are uniquely positioned to lead this historic shift to a digital-first world. I could not be more excited for what’s to come.”

2022: The year of hybrid work

Remote work was once considered a luxury to many, but in 2020, it became a necessity for a large portion of the workforce, as the scary and unknown COVID-19 virus sickened and even took the lives of so many people around the world.  Some workers were able to thrive in a remote setting, while others felt isolated and struggled to keep up a balance between their work and home lives. Last year saw the availability of life-saving vaccines, so companies were able to start having the conversation about what to do next. Should they keep everyone remote? Should they go back to working in the office full time? Or should they do something in between? Enter hybrid work, which offers a mix of the two. A Fall 2021 study conducted by Google revealed that over 75% of survey respondents expect hybrid work to become a standard practice within their organization within the next three years.  Thus, two years after the world abruptly shifted to widespread adoption of remote work, we are dec...
