Besides a few initiatives, global efforts to address the unprecedented challenges and opportunities presented by AI remain fragmented. The recent "AI Safety Summit" provided a crucial opportunity to emphasize the importance of international perspectives to fully tap into AI's potential. It has helped guide the conversation around responsible AI development and governance, ensuring the benefits of AI are maximized while mitigating its risks.

A well-known debate: tabs or spaces? Sure, we could set up a Google Form to collect this data, but where’s the fun in that? Let’s settle the debate, Kafka-style. We’ll use the new confluent-kafka-javascript client (not in general availability yet) to build an app that produces the current state of the vote counts to a Kafka topic and consumes from that same topic to surface them to a JavaScript frontend.

As you read this article, chances are your internet-connected smartphone is right beside you, your most-used daily device. This widespread use of smartphones we’re witnessing today, along with the explosion of IoT devices and high-speed networks, presents telecom companies with unprecedented challenges in managing customer experience and technical operations. The massive influx of data demands sophisticated analytics, but Countly is up for the challenge.

The Markets in Financial Instruments Directive II (MiFID II) came into effect in January 2018, aiming to improve the competitiveness and transparency of European financial markets. As part of this, financial institutions are obligated to report details of trades and transactions (both equity and non-equity) to regulators within certain time limits.

Two of Europe’s leading enterprises reveal how the modern data stack is fueling their success.

There’s nothing worse than wasting money on unnecessary costs. In on-premises data estates, these costs appear as wasted person-hours waiting for inefficient analytics to complete, or troubleshooting jobs that have failed to execute as expected, or at all. They manifest as idle hardware waiting for urgent workloads to come in, ensuring sufficient spare capacity to run them amidst noisy neighbors and resource-hungry, lower-priority workloads.

79% of organizations acknowledge their increasing reliance on APIs for revenue generation. APIs facilitate transactions, streamline operations, and enhance customer experiences. However, any disruptions or malfunctions in API functionality can have significant consequences. While API testing addresses these issues, API test automation is essential for ensuring APIs function correctly and reliably.

Application Programming Interface (API) monitoring tools are essential software solutions designed to closely monitor API performance, availability, and security. These tools track key performance metrics like response time, throughput, and latency, helping organizations identify and resolve any issues that could slow down or disrupt their services. These monitoring tools are essential for ensuring APIs remain available and reliable for users.
