Ready Set Code! The Telemetry Tsunami

Welcome to Ready Set Code! The game show where data engineers face off to prove who can build faster. In today's episode, "The Telemetry Tsunami," three contestants face a massive flood of nested JSON telemetry data. Their mission: flatten the arrays, join it to customer tables, and deploy a secure automated pipeline. Who will separate themselves as a data driver vs. a data downer? Find out now! Type Less. Build More.

Meeting Data (and Analytics) Engineers Where They Are: Introducing the dbt Adapter for Confluent Cloud

dbt is the most commonly used tool by data engineers to define SQL transformations (as models), write tests, generate documentation, and deploy through CI/CD and now it’s available with Confluent Cloud too! The magic of dbt is that it brings the engineering rigor to modern data work and data engineering, regardless of the underlying compute source - Snowflake, BigQuery, Databricks, Redshift or Confluent. You can find out more about the launch in our Q2 Confluent Cloud Launch post and the keynote.

Your AI Projects Need a Platform

In my younger days, eons ago in tech years, I worked on many enterprises IT projects or saw them up close. Failure rates of these projects were incredibly high. There was a mortgage system that was expected to be live in six months but ended up taking over five years and went live with a small fraction of the features originally planned. Many other projects never got out of the development phase.

How Structured Content Improves Financial Product Communication

Financial product communication has to be clear, accurate, and easy to understand. Customers often compare banking products, insurance options, investment services, loans, credit cards, payment solutions, and savings accounts before making a decision. Each product may include detailed information about fees, eligibility, benefits, terms, risks, application steps, and support options. When this information is presented in a confusing or inconsistent way, customers may struggle to understand what a product offers and whether it is right for their needs.

Ep 78 | Mastering Enterprise AI: Why Some Projects Succeed While Others Fail

AI may be the most capable intern your organization has ever hired. However, interns still need guidance and clear direction. Enterprise AI is proving no different. In this episode of The AI Forecast, Paul Muller sits down with Michael Gray, CTO of Thrive, to explore the patterns and anti-patterns emerging from real-world enterprise AI deployments. Drawing on his experience helping organizations implement AI at scale, Michael offers a practical framework for evaluating AI maturity, helping leaders understand where adoption breaks down and what it takes to build momentum across the organization.

The internal war over who owns AI.

There is a massive boardroom fight happening right now over who gets to control AI. Should it be IT? A centralized lab? The executives? Boris Rabkin from Ligentia drops a truth bomb: AI belongs wherever value is actually created. If your AI strategy is locked inside an isolated corporate lab instead of in the hands of your product, engineering, and customer teams, it’s going to fail. Full episode out now!
