Kong Summit has come and gone! Whether you joined us in San Francisco or missed this year’s big shindig, here are some of the highlights from the event and a round-up of all the Kong news dropped over the past two days. This post will continue to be updated with more details and links to videos from sessions as they’re available.

This is a guest post with exclusive content by Bill Inmon. Bill “is an American computer scientist recognized by many as the father of the data warehouse. Inmon wrote the first book, held the first conference, wrote the first column in a magazine, and was the first to offer classes in data warehousing.” -Wikipedia. The five critical considerations for corporate loyalty.

Software testability measures how simple it is to test both the system as a whole and each individual component. Testability might mean different things for different members of the software development lifecycle. Remember how deeply frustrating it was to rewrite dozens of UI tests when a front-end developer made a small change that broke all the locators?

Domino’s Pizza, one of the world’s top restaurant brands, already knows how to translate data into great customer experiences and stronger sales with Talend. Over the past five years, the company has used Talend to integrate 100’s data sources into a single source of customer information — and has harnessed that data to improve everything from personalized promotions to logistics to financial forecasting. The latest ingredient to their success?

“What should you and your business focus on when trying to create better customer journeys and beat competition?” That was the question we asked Countly data captains (also known as Countly customers) when trying to determine how well they collect customer experience metrics and how well they were using that data to make data-driven decisions.

As you might be aware, Automate.io is ceasing operations from their business products because of a big partnership opportunity with Notion. As they announced in May 2022, they will focus on developing a new product together with Notion.

Cloudera DataFlow for the Public Cloud (CDF-PC) is a cloud-native service for Apache NiFi within the Cloudera Data Platform (CDP). CDF-PC enables organizations to take control of their data flows and eliminate ingestion silos by allowing developers to connect to any data source anywhere with any structure, process it, and deliver to any destination using a low-code authoring experience.

Today, we’re excited to announce that DataFlow Functions (DFF), a feature within Cloudera DataFlow for the Public Cloud, is now generally available for AWS, Microsoft Azure, and Google Cloud Platform. DFF provides an efficient, cost optimized, scalable way to run NiFi flows in a completely serverless fashion. This is the first complete no-code, no-ops development experience for functions, allowing users to save time and resources.

Developers already love Fivetran’s docs. Our new API reference gives them even more to love.
