For years, data teams have struggled within proprietary ecosystems that prioritize vendor control over flexibility. Once a platform is chosen, switching becomes an expensive ordeal. Data formats, tightly coupled with specific tools, create rigid boundaries that make migrating workloads or integrating new technologies arduous. Moving datasets between systems often requires costly transformations and manual rewrites that consume time and resources.

This December has been full of pivotal serverless milestones. We've rolled out a series of major features designed to make your deployments experience smoother, faster, and more cost-effective: Let’s dive into this recap to cover everything that is new and share the resources you need to run and scale your workloads.

Test design is at the heart of effective testing, a crucial process that can make or break your software quality. Why invest time and resources in managing, executing, maintaining, and automating test cases if they don't directly address business needs or mitigate production risks?

At SmartBear, we’ve always believed in the power of open source software to drive innovation, transparency, and collaboration.

Language capabilities have virtually changed from what it once was, thanks to the newest AI advancements that made huge leaps in language-based tasks. Fittingly enough, today, two so highly spoken-of models that usher content development, interaction, and debugging are ChatGPT 4.0 and Claude 3.5 Sonnet. Creating possibilities or tasks for the user has deservedly led to the necessity of being able to weigh up the opponents, so as to make the right decision for themselves.

What would happen if your software faced an unpredictable input that no one ever thought to test? Could it withstand the challenge or fail catastrophically? Software has been a backbone for every industry, whether e-commerce platforms or the finance industry. For this to be relied on, software must be robust, reliable, and secure to function absolutely seamlessly.

There is increasing demand for realtime data delivery as users expect faster experiences and instantaneous transactions. This means not only is lower latency required per message, but providers must also handle far greater capacity in a more globally-distributed way.

AWS re:Invent is one of my favorite trade shows. It is one of the biggest technology conferences of the year and is an opportunity to have hundreds of conversations with customers and prospects, listen to their priorities and challenges, hopes, and give them a Cloudera tote bag or a pair of orange sunglasses. What follows is a collection of just a few things I learned and observed during my week in Las Vegas.

The healthcare sector is undergoing a remarkable wave of innovation, especially due to the integration of cloud computing in healthcare. From solidifying security to enhancing predictability, and improving performance, this transformation is touching every facet of the world while also supporting business transformation. The implementation of cloud computing in the healthcare sector has fundamentally transformed how medical data is generated, accessed, stored, and exchanged.
