“Ultra Tendency is the unique bridge between Open Source and Azure.”
Najat Messaoud | Director Azure BG, Germany
Open source technology is at the core of Ultra Tendency’s history and business. Ultra Tendency brings versatility to your company by developing, implementing, and operating data systems based on open technologies. When you own the software that runs your business, you have the power to decide your future. As a consultancy that not only implements open-source software, but builds it, Ultra Tendency is the expert guide to the technologies that will unleash your firm’s innovation.
Since 2011, our experts have made more than 6,000 source code contributions to more than 25 open-source software projects.
Ultra Tendency encourages employees to contribute to open-source projects. Nine of our colleagues have the status of Apache community contributor and/or committer. For more than a decade, Ultra Tendency experts have been extending and improving these software projects when the General Availability version did not fully meet customer requirements. Ultra Tendency is also heavily involved in the Apache community, conducting meetups at company offices, regularly attending Spark Summits, and giving keynotes at major conferences.
On account of valued contributions, some of our teammates have been granted the privilege of independently modifying the source code of their respective projects. This guarantees unmatched technological know-how as well as the fastest path to troubleshooting and the fulfillment of functional requirements.
Ultra Tendency employs contributors/committers for the following open-source projects: Scala, Kafka, Nifi, Ansible, Terraform, Terrascan, HBase, Hive, Ozone , Knox, Ranger, Oozie, Yarn, Checkov, Zookeeper, Sentry, Ambari, Bahir, Avro, Zeppelin, Yetus.
Ultra Tendency CIO Jan Hentschel was invited to contribute a testimonial on the 10th anniversary of HBase. He wrote:
“Happy 10th anniversary, HBase! At Ultra Tendency, you have been the backbone of our Dual Lambda Streaming Architecture for many years! You have served billions of queries to our customers without interruption and at low latency. Your architecture guaranteed that you were always there when we needed you, never letting us or our customers down. You are the reason why our European clients today are running flourishing new business models backed by low-latency streaming products. Our committers and contributors will continue to fix bugs and provide feature enhancements. Ultra Tendency wishes you a bright and successful future!”
