Increasingly digital consumption of products and services, along with the shift to remote work and education, have significantly affected how software is developed and tested. According to Deloitte’s “2023 Quality Engineering Trends” report, “new technologies” is still the top factor driving testing spend.

With all of the excitement around Arm’s high performance processors, which are optimized for AI, our team wanted to test how easily ClearML would work with GPUs paired with Arm-based CPU compute when compared to GPUs combined with x86 chips.

There’s an interesting term in agriculture called the pesticide paradox. When a pesky insect infestation is threatening a farmer’s hard-earned harvest, he sprays the crop with pesticide, killing (most of) them in an instant. What a glorious win of man against nature! But there’s a catch: the tiny percentage of those insects which fortunately survive will develop a natural resistance to the pesticide.

We are humans, and humans sometimes make mistakes. We make hundreds of decisions on a daily basis, and sometimes those decisions are not entirely based on rationality, but on cognitive biases. Anyone, including testers, can be subjected to the trappings of cognitive biases. Those biases are the result of years of evolutionary adaptation, and they allow us to make quick judgements (we all want to survive). However, they usually aren't the best judgements.

As real-time experiences become integral to everyday life and data-driven technologies like GenAI drive the next wave of innovation, one thing is clear: real-time data is the key to enterprise growth. The Confluent OEM Program empowers MSPs, CSPs, and ISVs to quickly unlock new revenue streams by integrating the industry-leading data streaming platform into their customer offerings.

The Q3 Cloud Bundle Launch comes to you from Current 2024, where data streaming industry experts have come together to show you why data streaming is critical today, especially in the age of AI, and how it will become even more important in shaping tomorrow’s businesses. This year’s Current event attracted over 2,500 attendees, both in-person and virtual, and featured 140+ learning sessions by industry experts.

Today, we’re excited to announce the Early Access Program for Confluent for VS Code! Confluent has integrated support for Visual Studio with Confluent for VS Code that streamlines workflows, accelerates development cycles, and enhances real-time data processing, all within a unified environment.

Ingestion and transformation are the primary workloads of real data warehouses.

For historical reasons, we have been using dynamic collection creation. This means that each new event creates a new collection in the database. While this provides some benefits, such as managing permissions on the collection level, it also has many downsides. And because we wanted to future-proof Countly, we decided to make this step and change the model, which will potentially allow us to do more in the future.

Why now is the time for data leaders in financial services to address the challenges of tick data analysis — and how Snowflake can help.
