Tobiko brings advanced, multi-engine transformation into the Fivetran platform — powered by robust open source technology and designed to deliver faster, more flexible data workflows for analytics, operations, and AI.

The rise of Model Context Protocol (MCP) has given AI agents and large language models (LLMs) a standardized way to talk to external tools, APIs, and data sources. In theory, it solves the messy integrations and custom connectors that have slowed down real-world agent adoption. A clean protocol should mean smooth interoperability. However, we’re observing certain patterns of fragmentation. Each MCP server runs in isolation. Agents have to handle multiple connections.

Ever feel like you're fighting an uphill battle with your API strategy? You're building APIs faster than ever, but somehow everything feels harder. Wasn’t API-first supposed to make all this easier? Well, you're not alone. And now industry analysts are noting it as well. New Gartner research on successful API-first integration just came out, and it validates something we've been saying for a while: many organizations are fundamentally misunderstanding what API-first actually means. The result?

QA has long been seen as the final step before release. A gatekeeper. A checklist item. But today’s product velocity and user expectations have changed the game. QA is no longer a stop sign. When done right, QA shapes outcomes across the business. It helps teams release faster, catch issues earlier, and align quality with customer needs. In this article, we’ll show you: Let’s get started.

Test Documentation is the backbone of a reliable testing process. It shows how you plan testing and how you record results. In this article, you will learn the essentials of Test Documentation, the importance of test documentation for your releases, and the test documentation best practices that raise quality. We keep things simple and useful. You get examples and steps that you can apply today. Let's dive in!

In today’s rapid web development, faultless user experience is a requirement. Old school test tools tend to come up short with slow speeds, flakiness, and complicated setups. Cypress testing is a new-generation testing framework designed for the web with fast, predictable, and delightful testing for end-to-end, UI, and component-level tests – all in a browser-native context.

At a recent gathering of public sector data leaders, the conversations didn’t revolve around which artificial intelligence tool is fastest or how to adopt zero trust frameworks. They focused on something far more foundational: trust. Specifically: Can we trust our data? At the CDAO Government event, federal and state agency leaders focused on the truth behind effective decision-making and efficient public service delivery: governance only works if the data is complete, accurate, and ready for use.

Agentic AI is transforming how businesses operate by enabling systems to handle complex tasks autonomously. Instead of relying on constant human input, these AI systems break down high-level goals into smaller tasks, make decisions independently, and improve continuously through feedback. Here's what you need to know: Key Features: Autonomously manage workflows and processes. Handle multi-step decision-making and problem-solving. Learn and adapt based on performance data.

For today’s SaaS leaders, accelerating product roadmaps is a top priority. That’s why the most forward-thinking teams are embedding AI-native intelligence directly into the tools and workflows their users rely on every day. Recently, I had the privilege of speaking with product leaders from Tekion, Navan, and ASK BOSCO in ThoughtSpot’s executive masterclass on embedded analytics.

You didn’t miss a requirement. You just built a strategy for the wrong kind of system.
