The Hidden Cost of Treating MLS as a System of Record Instead of a Data Source

The MLS (Multiple Listing Service) is designed to manage and exchange listing information within a defined real estate market. It standardizes how a property for sale is described and distributed, and it updates on a regular cadence. Within its market, an MLS is the system of record for the listing data it governs. It was not designed to be the central operational data platform for an individual brokerage’s customers, transactions, financials, or product analytics.

eBPF: Correlating rustls Plaintext to TCP Connections Without a File Descriptor

In Under the Hood with Go TLS and eBPF, I left socket tracking as an exercise for later. The example used bpf_get_current_pid_tgid() and explicitly excluded concurrent TLS operations. Capturing plaintext was enough for that post. With rustls, later arrived: I could read the HTTP payload perfectly and still attach it to the wrong TCP connection. That’s a frustratingly convincing failure. The request looks right. The response looks right. The application works.

Trust, Traceability, and Choice: What We Believe Our 2026 IDC MarketScape Leader Recognition Means for Your Data

Qlik has been named a Leader in the IDC MarketScape: Worldwide Data Intelligence Platform Software 2026 Vendor Assessment. I'll say the obvious part first: we're proud of this. Independent recognition matters, and this one reflects work happening across every team at Qlik. But analyst recognition on its own doesn't help you run your data estate.

iOS 27 Is Here: How Perfecto Keeps Your Apps Release-Ready

Apple's iOS 27 release marks another significant shift in the mobile landscape. Beyond new features for iPhone users, it signals a familiar pressure point for QA and development teams: the clock starts ticking the moment the update goes live, and your apps need to be ready. Here's why that matters: nearly 80% of iPhone users adopt the newest iOS version almost immediately. That high adoption rate leaves little room for error. If your app breaks on the iOS 27 release, your customers notice fast.

The Portfolio Visibility Problem Nobody Notices Until It's Expensive

Most organizations can tell you, in detail, what's happening inside any single project. Ask about five projects at once, and the answer gets vague fast. Not because the information doesn't exist - it does, buried inside five different task boards, timesheets, and status decks - but because nothing sits above the project level to actually connect it.

Automating Trust: How Business Review Management Fits Into the Modern Ops Stack

Most companies still treat reviews as a marketing chore. Someone on the team remembers, sends a batch of emails, watches a few stars roll in, and forgets about it for six weeks. That model is finished. Consumers now expect a reply within days, they discount anything written more than three months ago, and a growing share of them never read your reviews at all because an AI assistant read them first and summarized the themes. None of that can be served by a human remembering to check a dashboard.
