The fastest way to answer a business question used to be expensive: an analyst on staff, a clean warehouse, a dashboard for every recurring ask. Then AI tools made the fast answer free for everyone. The analytics line item, oddly, did not shrink. Speed became free. Defensibility became the line item.

BigQuery Graph allows you to build a digital twin of your entire supply chain by turning your physical world—items, recipes, and locations—into a searchable map of nodes and edges, providing a new level of clarity.

Everyone wants an AI agent factory in 2026. Autonomous agents fixing bugs and shipping features while you sleep. I’ve been building toward that myself. But the error rates don’t support the fantasy. The best AI coding agents in the world fix about 50% of real bugs on SWE-bench verified. Half the time they fail. And AI-generated code produces 1.7x more issues than human-written code.

It's the day before your POC, and the embedded analytics demo still looks like it belongs to someone else. Your designer handed over a brand guide last week. Your developer has been buried in CSS variables ever since: cross-referencing token names, mapping changes across components, reloading the page after every tweak to see what broke. The UI is almost right. The nav color is close. The typography still isn't matching, but there's no time left.

For years, enterprise infrastructure treated security, storage, networking, and compute as mostly separate operational layers. Disruptive technologies tend to blur those lines. We saw this with backup and recovery, virtualization, and now with AI.

From dbt Core v2.0 to AI-powered connectors, Fivetran and dbt unveil joint product innovations that help data teams build open, scalable, AI-ready infrastructure.

Last year, Nathan Hillyer's iOS platform engineering team at ForeFlight had self-hosted Mac hardware in their office, two engineers keeping them alive, and a codebase with over 2 million lines of Objective-C, Swift, and C++. Every Xcode update was a fire drill. Every capacity spike during a merge meant somebody was physically racking hardware in the Austin office. ForeFlight didn't want a new CI system. They wanted to stop being a data centre.

From booking flows to subscription screens, formatting dates correctly is a core requirement in almost every Android app. In this post we’ll show you how to master the specific Android date format, understand its unique features and avoid common formatting pitfalls.

It’s no secret that businesses everywhere are striving to use AI to automate time-consuming or repetitive tasks. By far one of the most time-consuming tasks business people face is reporting. Whether due to custom exports draining developer time, BI tools that can’t handle document output, or driver maintenance wasting time and focus, reporting can be draining to an organization’s most valuable resources.
