The appetite for real-time data continues to grow. Across industries, the ability to act on data as it arrives is increasingly central to how leading organizations compete, from IoT and fraud detection to event driven analytics and AI agent architectures. Streaming data is no longer a specialist workload. It is becoming a core requirement. I am excited to announce that streaming ingestion is generally available in Qlik Open Lakehouse, part of Qlik Talend Cloud.

Learn what reverse ETL is and how it enables operational analytics. Explore its process and applications within sales, marketing, and support.

Author: Adam Wolf Efficient resource allocation is a foundational requirement for scaling AI workloads, particularly as organizations move from isolated experiments to shared infrastructure supporting multiple teams, models, and environments. GPUs, CPUs, and high-performance storage are costly and finite, and without coordination, utilization often degrades as usage grows.

Queues for Kafka is now in General Availability (GA) on Confluent Cloud and is coming soon to Confluent Platform, coinciding with the Apache Kafka 4.2 release. This milestone brings production-ready queue semantics and elastic consumer scaling natively to Kafka through KIP-932, enabling organizations to consolidate their messaging infrastructures while gaining elastic consumer scaling and per-message processing controls. Get started.

As data architectures evolve, we are seeing a fundamental shift from systems designed to report on the past to systems designed to influence the future. At the heart of this shift are two critical, interconnected concepts: As organizations pursue more data-driven decision making, the gap between insight and action has become a competitive constraint. Together, real-time decisioning and autonomous data systems represent the evolution of real-time data systems—where insight flows directly into action.
