From ancient Greek myths of talking statues to the modern-day Alexa and Siri, the concept of machines capable of understanding and responding to human language has captivated us for centuries. In recent years, this concept has evolved into AI chatbots, highly sophisticated tools that can read our queries and perform tasks ranging from customer service to automated alerts.

Snowflake customers can take advantage of Fivetran’s data movement and data replication capabilities as a native application available in the Snowflake Marketplace.

The Director of Product Management at AWS sat down with Fivetran to unpack how Iceberg and metadata are reshaping the future of data lakes, data warehouses and AI.

According to recent research, scaling intelligent automation could save the Energy & Utilities industry between $237 billion and $813 billion in operational costs. Despite this immense potential, utility providers still grapple with intense competition, increasingly stringent regulations, and aging infrastructure and workforce challenges. The demand for more affordable and cleaner renewable energy only adds to these pressures.

The headless data architecture is an organic emergence of the separation of data storage, management, optimization, and access from the services that write, process, and query it. With this architecture, you can manage your data from a single logical location, including permissions, schema evolution, and table optimizations. And, to top it off, it makes regulatory compliance a lot simpler, because your data resides in one place, instead of being copied around to every processing engine that needs it.

Performance testing t is a major part of software testing and involves understanding how the software handles expected errors, which is integral to quality assurance. There are multiple free and open-source tools we can discuss in the blog, but let’s start with why we even need performance testing.

GoReplay and Speedscale are two popular tools commonly used for load testing. Both share traffic shadowing as a core feature. This article compares both tools against the following criteria: For more Kubernetes load testing comparisons, check out our other posts.

In an era dominated by mobile apps, desktop applications remain vital across numerous industries. From gaming to enterprise solutions, tracking desktop app performance, user behavior, and feedback is crucial. While mobile tracking is a well-established practice, companies also need to pay more attention to the importance of desktop tracking. Despite the importance of desktop applications, many analytics platforms remain heavily focused on mobile tracking.

Some of the popular AI tools people and corporations are using now include ChatGPT, Google Gemini, and Microsoft Copilot. This has resulted in higher usage and adoption of this technology and this has caused some worry among people, particularly in terms of employment. However, for software testers, these changes should be seen as a chance to improve rather than a threat.
