Datical Increases Deployment Speed for Business Critical Applications on Oracle

AUSTIN, Texas – May 31, 2017 – Datical, the leading provider of database release automation solutions, today announced support for Oracle Exadata, the most powerful database platform engineered for fast, reliable performance for the most demanding, business-critical database workloads.

Software is reshaping industries – from healthcare to finance to retail. Given this, the pace of change is accelerating, and organizations must master their applications in order to survive in this digital era. As companies have adopted automation to help increase the pace of software delivery, a new constraint has emerged – the database.

“Oracle Exadata is a robust Database Machine that consolidates and simplifies workloads into one combined unit, a unique combination of hardware and software for optimizing operations and lowering costs,” said Josh Turnbull, senior vice president of business development at Infolob, an Oracle Platinum Partner with deep expertise on Exadata who supported Datical on the testing efforts. “Datical’s solution is well suited for Exadata and brings a long overdue solution to the market that solves a very complex problem.”

Industry analyst firm IDC [1], who interviewed eight organizations using Oracle Exadata Database Machines, projected that these Oracle customers will “realize average annual business benefits worth $157,712 per 100 users, which would result in a five-year ROI of 429 percent.”

With Datical’s support of Oracle Exadata, DevOps teams will be able to increase the velocity of application releases by removing database deployments as a barrier to delivering new applications. The database has become the bottleneck in the overall digital transformation initiatives and has long been the neglected discipline, the weakest link in the tool chain. Most companies – even those using the latest DevOps automation tools – are still anchoring development teams by using decades-old processes to manage and deploy database changes.

“Organizations adopt Oracle Exadata to achieve exceptional database performance and availability for mission-critical applications. This also means that they require a database release automation solution that maximizes their investment by ensuring that database changes can be deployed at the same fast-pace mission critical applications are being updated. For companies adopting agile and DevOps, the ability to deploy database schema and logic changes fast without compromising data integrity and security is everything,” said Pete Pickerill, co-founder and vice president of product strategy, Datical. “We’re excited to bring Datical to a new platform. Organizations that use Oracle Exadata will now be able to modernize their database deployment process, and realize even more benefits– shorter application release times, better data security, and more productive application developers, testers and DBAs.”

The team behind Datical has been pioneering database and application deployment evolution for more than a decade. Datical strategically guides some of the world’s most admired companies through their database deployment modernization efforts. The Datical database release automation solution is designed to break the application release logjam created by today’s manual database deployment processes. Datical improves productivity and performance, allowing development, test and DBA staff to focus on more important projects and initiatives.

New Product Identifies Lines of Code and Stages that Cause Performance Issues Related to CPU, Memory, Garbage Collection, Network and Disk I/O 

CUPERTINO, Calif. – May 23, 2017 – Pepperdata, the DevOps for Big Data company, today announced Pepperdata Code Analyzer for Apache Spark, which provides Spark application developers the ability to identify performance issues and connect them to particular blocks of code within an application. Code Analyzer is a new product that follows on the heels of Pepperdata Application Profiler, which provides Hadoop and Spark developers with actionable recommendations for improving job performance.

“One of the most significant challenges in Big Data is achieving optimal performance,” said Ash Munshi, CEO of Pepperdata. “Code Analyzer fills a huge void in application development for Spark, helping developers optimize Spark applications for large-scale production. Developers are now empowered to improve the performance of Spark applications with new information and insight around the code, build, test and release phases.”

The performance metrics from Spark Web UI have historically been a challenge for developers to understand and contextualize, especially without having granular, time-series data on hand. Developers cannot easily drill down into and understand the problematic sections of an application that require optimization. Further, as Spark clusters typically run many applications in parallel, the Spark Web UI doesn’t inform developers how applications are impacted by other applications running on the cluster.

Pepperdata Code Analyzer allows Spark application developers to precisely measure how cluster resources – including CPU, memory, and network and disk I/O–are consumed by any particular block of application code. Code Analyzer delivers additional insight by combining application information from the Spark engine with granular time-series data for all applications running on a cluster. Dev teams are empowered with the ability to pinpoint the specific segment of their application code responsible for performance issues.

“I develop a lot of complex Spark code to perform ETL on Hadoop clusters. In these complex, large-scale systems, you must be able to understand where the performance bottlenecks are,” said Ian O’Connell, software engineer at Stripe and Pepperdata Technology Advisory Board member. “Pepperdata Code Analyzer for Apache Spark gives developers detailed time-series performance data for things like CPU, JVM memory and I/O usage overlaid against Spark job stages. I’m excited about the direction Pepperdata is moving — letting developers quickly see problems in time-series views and tie them back to their actual Spark application code will be a very useful tool for developers working on production Spark applications.”

Benefits of Code Analyzer include:

For Devs:

●      Identify which lines of code and which stages cause performance issues related to CPU, memory, garbage collection, network and disk I/O

●      Easily disambiguate resources used during parallel stages

●      Understand why run time variations occur for the same application

●      Determine whether performance issues are due to the application or other workloads on the cluster

For Ops:

●      Reduce the number of performance incidents in production

●      Easily communicate detailed performance issues back to developers

“Chartboost is the world’s largest mobile games-only advertising platform, reaching one billion active players around the world every month. Chartboost utilizes Apache Spark on large Amazon EC2 Hadoop clusters for machine learning and ET​L​ workflows,” said Michael McGowan, manager of Data Engineering at Chartboost. “Understanding Spark application performance in these complex environments is always a challenge. As a current use​r​ of Pepperdata Hadoop performance management tools, it has been great to work with Pepperdata on the development of Code Analyzer. It will give us comprehensive insight into Spark jobs.”

Pepperdata products and services are designed to accelerate the production use of Big Data applications by ensuring that performance is tightly integrated into the DevOps for Big Data cycle. Code Analyzer is integrated with Pepperdata products to provide an end-to-end DevOps solution, combining overall cluster awareness (monitoring, troubleshooting and alerting) with deep recommendations for improving the performance of individual jobs.

Availability and Pricing

Code Analyzer for Apache Spark will be available June 5 in early access, with general availability expected in Q3 2017. Pepperdata products are delivered to market as a combination of software running on customers’ clusters, on-premises or in the cloud, and as SaaS solutions. For pricing information or to schedule a demo, contact sales@pepperdata.com.
