Where is AI going and how we can work with it in the future of BI?

Here at Keboola, we take pride in working closely with partners and customers ensuring that each project is a success.

API (application programming interface) designers and developers generally understand the importance of adhering to design principles while implementing an interface. No one wants to design or implement a bad API! Even so, it’s sometimes tempting to look for shortcuts to reach those aggressive sprint timelines, get to the finish line, and deploy an API.

In 1998, Netscape decided to release their source code in an effort to attract new users to their product and new developers who could easily integrate applications with the browser. At the same time, there seemed to be a groundswell around a culture of open and collaborative development, with legacy software companies beginning to acknowledge Linux and open source software (OSS) as a legitimate option for enterprise solutions.

Visual Studio Team Services is a one-stop-shop for managing source code, custom packages, agile workflow, and continuous integration. Having recently released our VSTS extension for Ghost Inspector, I thought it would be a fun idea to test and deploy an app with a Microsoft toolchain, namely Visual Studio Team Services, Microsoft Azure, and Ghost Inspector using our new extension.
