As organizations rush to scale AI, many are learning that better models can’t compensate for weak data foundations. AI hype is everywhere, but operational readiness still isn’t. In this episode of The AI Forecast, Paul Muller sits down with Ravit Jain, founder of The Ravit Show and one of the leading voices in the global data and AI community, to explore the trends shaping the future of enterprise AI.

Tableau's direction is clear. For embedded analytics teams serving customers with strict governance, data residency, or infrastructure requirements, "cloud only" constrains your product, your market, and your roadmap. In this video, we break down what Tableau Next's Hyperforce launch actually means for ISVs and SaaS vendors building embedded analytics, including: If you're doing real long-range planning, this is the conversation that matters.

Learn how to generate a client SDK for a production service when you have no documentation, no OpenAPI spec, and no remaining team knowledge of the original Ruby code. This demo shows you how to capture real production data from a running app and transform it into a functional Java client library in minutes. Visit proxymock.io OR speedscale.com to learn more.

Most AI revenue will flow through tokens — and the two bottlenecks are tokens per watt (energy cost) and tokens per second (throughput). Tokens per watt determines how much output you can generate from a fixed energy supply — already constrained and getting tighter. Tokens per second sets the ceiling on how fast that revenue can flow. Kong's AI Gateway optimizes both at the connectivity layer: semantic caching and semantic routing increase token output without adding watts or latency.#Shorts.

The very system designed to keep you comfortable is the same one keeping you trapped. You pay only for rows that change. Simple, right? But the reality is quite different. MAR mechanics are designed to blow up when you scale. You expect to be paying for real data changes but you end up paying for the whole row, regardless of how little data you move on it. It lures you in with simplicity but the underlying mechanics is an alternate reality. Every connection follows its own pricing curve, the costs stop behaving logically, and forecasting your bill turns into a nightmare.

Zscaler's Tiffany Blakeney shares how her team replaced fragmented tools and months-long development cycles with Snowflake's all-in-one AI platform.

What did Atlassian Team ’26 reveal about the future of software quality and AI-powered delivery? In this recap from the event floor inside the Anaheim Convention Center, SmartBear shares key themes from the event, including Atlassian Rovo, the Teamwork Graph, AI-driven workflows, and how QA teams are adapting to faster, AI-assisted software delivery inside Jira. See quick highlights from the event floor, SmartBear’s latest Zephyr innovations, and how conversational AI and quality intelligence are becoming part of the modern software delivery workflow.

LLMs are absorbing the business logic of microservices for agentic use cases — but both patterns will coexist in enterprise infrastructure for a long time. Cloud-native infrastructure (microservices + APIs) keeps powering web and mobile experiences. The agentic layer — LLMs, MCP tool calls, and context traffic — runs in parallel, activating the same APIs and CRUD operations underneath. Kong manages both swim lanes: the API traffic between clients and microservices, and the context traffic flowing between agents and LLMs.#Shorts.
