Why Xray's AI Test Model Generation is Key to Scalable DevOps Quality
DevOps has transformed how quickly software can be delivered, but speed alone does not guarantee resilience. As organizations scale, their systems become increasingly interconnected, with more services, more dependencies, and more edge cases that must be considered in every release. What once felt manageable with a handful of regression tests can quickly become opaque when dozens of teams are contributing to the same ecosystem.
OpenAPI Schema Validation for AI
Schema validation ensures AI agents interact with APIs accurately by enforcing strict rules for requests and responses. OpenAPI provides a clear, machine-readable contract for APIs, reducing errors and improving reliability. This approach eliminates issues like ambiguous responses or schema drift, ensuring predictable behavior and secure data access.
Questions to Ask AI About Your Sales Pipeline and CRM Data
The right question returns a deal name, an owner, and a dollar value. The wrong one returns a framework about pipeline health. The difference is not the model, it’s how you ask. It’s 7:47am Monday. Your pipeline review starts at 8. You have thirteen minutes to find out which deals need attention, which reps are behind pace, and whether you’re actually going to hit the number this quarter.
Run Local LLMs on Mac to Cut Claude Costs
Part of the motivation for this post is how cloud API economics are shifting: Anthropic is moving large enterprise customers toward per-token, usage-based billing (unbundled from flat seat fees), which makes “always call the API” a moving cost line for teams at scale. A hybrid or local layer is one way to keep spend bounded while you still use premium models where they matter.
Data & AI Anywhere: Mastering Digital Sovereignty with Cloudera
Hey, did you know?... Cloudera's "anywhere" approach means *you* get to choose and control where you deploy your data and AI. Continue watching to hear how we make that possible. In this video, learn how Cloudera helps organizations maintain comprehensive control over their most valuable assets through three critical pillars: Chapters.
MCP in Production: Governing Agentic API Consumption | DeveloperWeek
As AI agents begin interacting with APIs, traditional API governance models need to evolve. In this DeveloperWeek session, Derric Gilling (WSO2) explains how organizations can manage and secure agent-driven API consumption using the Model Context Protocol (MCP). Unlike human applications, AI agents can generate large volumes of API calls from a single prompt. Without proper controls, this can lead to unexpected costs, security risks, and limited visibility into how APIs are being used.
Introducing Kong A2A and MCP Metrics: Visibility and Governance for AI Tool Adoption at Scale
Scaling LLM and agentic AI adoption from pilot programs to enterprise-wide deployments is a massive logistical rollout. As AI and agentic usage grow, so does a nagging question for leadership: **Are agents using the right tools to get the job done?** While raw infrastructure metrics might tell you if a server is "up," they fail to tell you if your AI investment is being leveraged.
Agentic Analytics in Practice: How AI Moves from Answering Questions to Closing the Loop
I spent years building dashboards that nobody used. Not because they were bad dashboards — they were actually pretty good. Clean visualizations, real-time data, all the metrics leadership said they wanted. But here’s what I learned: the problem was never the dashboard. The problem was the gap between seeing what happened and doing something about it. You look at a dashboard. It doesn’t act.
How AI Is Changing Quality Control in SMT Assembly
Quality control in SMT assembly process has traditionally depended on a combination of process discipline, inspection equipment, operator experience, and post-production analysis. That model still matters, but it is no longer enough on its own.
