In the ever-evolving world of the data supply chain, you may have experienced one or more of these trends: you depend on more and more data that you can’t control; you need to provide data at the speed of thought; your digital transformation is happening faster than your data infrastructure can keep up. As a data leader, you have pressures all around to do more and faster. But just how fast can you go given the enormous complexity of data, platforms and architectures today?
DataOps is an approach that can tease order out of the accelerating chaos of modern architectures, and reconcile the apparent contradiction of complexity and agility. Continuous design, operation and observability of your data is fundamental to a DataOps approach. Hear from a panel of industry leaders:
- Approaches for keeping pace with the relentless business demand for more data
- Best practices for managing ever more complex data infrastructures
- Viewpoints on how to balance agility with transparency and control

In order to build the next decade’s competitive advantage, enterprises need to go beyond the early stages of digital transformation and embrace modern use cases characterized by the exponential growth of data and the utilization of real-time analytics to inform business decisions.
This entails not only building new applications or refactoring existing ones as microservices but also moving certain workloads off relational monoliths to the modern data stack. Relational databases are poorly equipped to handle the demands of modern workloads involving either rich customer interactive applications or streaming industrial data.
Unlike relational monoliths, the modern data stack supports microservices oriented development patterns that free business logic from the data layer and place it in the application layer where it rightly belongs. It supports modern APIs that free developers from having to learn database languages before they can become productive. And just like microservices, the modern data stack is distributed and runs on Kubernetes.
Join DataStax as we discuss the requirements of the modern data stack in the world of microservices.

In today’s digital landscape, the role of the CIO/ CDO has become the most dynamic amongst their peers. CIOs are focused on finding the most transformative technologies that enable them to bring value to their enterprise and customers.
Adopting an enterprise wide transformation strategy is driven by fundamental shifts in internal and external forces that impact the business and how it operates. Disruptive technologies are being introduced to the market faster than ever and executives must have the ability to align and address the enterprise-wide transformation challenges. These changes will ultimately influence strategic planning, business operations and the overall trajectory of the operating model moving forward. With unceasing demands, technology has become more complex and solution providers more difficult to decipher.
Apex Assembly will unite visionary leaders and industry experts for a half day of content and discussion, where we will examine the challenges of 2021 and concentrate on the most pressing issues of 2022 in the information technology sector.
Through collaboration with our executive community, we have discovered key industry challenges and trends. These topics form the foundation of the Summit and will be addressed through Panels, Disrupter sessions, and Fireside chats.
Hosted using video conferencing technology, our Virtual Summit gives executives and service providers the opportunity to engage with like-minded executives and industry leaders without having to leave their office or home.
