Optimized database workloads have run securely and reduced licensing costs through virtualization
The major advantage of Oracle Linux 9 | Support by SupportedImages is that the update is free. Not just the patching and other things, but the update, some classes and other things, and some packages which I get free updates. If someone wants to use it, the license is free. If someone needs support, they can purchase the support. If someone does not purchase the support, there are free updates from Oracle. This is the major advantage to the customer, as they say that they are getting updates free. With Red Hat Linux, I have to purchase the support, otherwise I cannot get the update. Customers prefer that they are using it free and getting the update, and if they need support, they can purchase it anytime. The other part is that Oracle database runs well on Oracle Linux 9 | Support by SupportedImages. Whenever there are Intel servers in customer places and customers want to run Oracle database, they prefer Oracle Linux 9 | Support by SupportedImages. Oracle Linux 9 | Support by SupportedImages has very better security, but a few of the packages of Oracle still are not compatible with Oracle 9. So still in database perspective and grid perspective, I prefer 8. The feature is that it is very stable, memory consumption is low, and no additional service runs in the background. I can minimize the additional services if I want to stop it, it will stop. It is basically Red Hat Linux modified kernel, so those who know Red Hat Linux earlier can easily use Oracle Linux 9 | Support by SupportedImages. The other thing is that whenever I require, I can use the KVM of Oracle Linux 9 | Support by SupportedImages free of cost for virtualization. The Unbreakable Enterprise Kernel is a valuable feature. Security part differs, as it is built by the security team and the operating system team must enforce it. However, installation is very easy. Anyone can install it within twenty minutes without issues.

Granular behavioral tracking has transformed how we understand user journeys and optimize funnels
Snowplow could be improved in a couple of areas. The Snowplow team is readily available and proactive, always jumping on calls to make changes, especially how we track consent and non-consent data for the EU market. One area of improvement could be its vast canvas, which might feel overwhelming and confusing to people who are less technical or are not sure how to best structure their data. Although Snowplow is powerful, getting value from this granular event data does require strong SQL skills and knowledge of the underlying data model. Therefore, making the data more accessible to less technical users could enhance intuitive self-service exploration, funnel visualization, and easier debugging of tracking issues, allowing product teams to gain insights without relying heavily on analysts. Snowplow could also automate most processes and implement smarter monitoring alerts for fallback. Better documentation and easier debugging when event tracking or schemas change would help, given that managing event definitions centrally can be a hassle when there is a breaking change. Having automated systems to inform users about changes in events or properties would make things smoother across teams.

Cons

"Setup is challenging because getting the pipeline infrastructure right is hard."
"Maintenance overhead was high, debugging and schema management were time-consuming, and there were increasing security concerns due to it no longer being actively maintained."
