95% of AI pilots are failing. Here's why the other 5% are winning. While most organizations scramble to retrofit compliance into their AI implementations, leading finance teams are building it in from the start—and gaining a major competitive edge. Three insights that caught my attention: → Vendor solutions succeed at 2x the rate of internal builds (67% vs 33%)—your team's expertise matters more than you think.

Calling Katalon a hybrid testing platform means it brings manual, automated, and AI-generated testing together in one unified system. Katalon is built to help teams design, run, manage, and report on all three types of tests side by side, giving clear visibility into coverage, quality, and release readiness without forcing teams to choose just one testing approach — Alex Martins, VP of Strategy at Katalon.

In this episode, *Dr. Sanjiva Weerawarana* and *Asanka Abeysinghe* demystify what “agents” really are and why architects should care. They walk through core concepts and terminology—agents, agent loops, prompts, context, memory, RAG, tools, MCP, and skills—and discuss how agents observe, act, and evaluate. The conversation compares agents to traditional systems, explores where agents fit in modern architectures (including solo agents, agent-to-agent patterns, and multi-agent setups), and looks at orchestration challenges.

Cortex Code CLI is expanding capabilities to accelerate your enterprise data lifecycle inside Snowflake! Introducing dbt and Apache Airflow support, expanded model choice across Claude Opus 4.6, Sonnet 4.6, and GBT 5.2. New enterprise-grade governance controls, and a self-serve subscription option. See how Cortex Code CLI helps you ship workflows faster, integrate data systems, and build with confidence using natural language.

In this video, Dipankar breaks down the lakehouse architecture layer by layer - from object storage to table formats, catalogs, and compute engines. He covers.

Our engineers Ben Boral and Balazs Hajagos have a look at the official release notes to see what's interesting in the latest Xcode beta (already available for use on Bitrise!). Bitrise provides a full-stack, vertically integrated mobile DevOps solution that unites the tools, processes and testing frameworks engineering teams need to build best-in-class mobile experiences. Over 400,000 developers use Bitrise’s products: Bitrise CI, Build Cache, Release Management, and Insights.

Teams that get the most out of TrueTest are those handling frequent releases, supporting multiple applications, and testing complex, end-to-end workflows. It is especially valuable for larger testing teams that need to automate at scale, collaborate across members, and avoid maintenance overhead while keeping up with continuous in-sprint testing and regression needs — Alex Martins, VP of Strategy at Katalon.

Escaping the monolith didn’t just simplify architecture—it unlocked speed, flexibility, and hiring freedom for Busie.

See the Databox Model Context Protocol (MCP) in action inside Claude. In this video, we use just three simple prompts to pull Google Business Profile data across 8 different business locations and instantly generate a beautiful, executive-ready HTML dashboard. Instead of manually logging into multiple accounts and copying data into spreadsheets, we use the Databox MCP inside Claude to: Fetch Data Instantly: Claude automatically gathers impressions, clicks, and calls for every single business location through the MCP, comparing current vs. previous month data without any manual exports.

Retaining total clarity over your metadata doesn't have to be a manual burden. While traditional BI tools often demand more time than they save, this technical walkthrough explores how to leverage CSTools—a Python-based utility—to bypass the UI and fetch metadata directly via REST APIs. Automating your cluster oversight is essential for reliable, code-first tracking of users and groups at scale. By using CSTools, you can eliminate the manual "busy work" and offload the repetitive tasks that weigh down your data team.
