Demo days: Reliability Under Pressure: How to Build Self-recovering Data Pipelines

Modern data pipelines don’t fail loudly. A schema change slips through. A few bad records halt ingestion. Dashboards go stale. Engineers rerun backfills. Warehouse costs spike. Business teams begin to question the data. Pipeline instability and silent failures remain some of the biggest bottlenecks for analytics teams operating at scale.

Using the Step Library in Bitrise

See what the Bitrise Step Library can do for you with Senior Solutions Engineer Ben Boral. Instead of relying on custom scripts for functionality, you can use these off-the-shelf components to quickly build a workflow. These steps are open source, allowing you to view their code, fork them, and make changes, or you can write a custom script directly in the Workflow Editor.

How to parallelize tasks using Bitrise pipelines

Pipelines allow you to organize your CI/CD tasks into modular workflows that can run sequentially or in parallel. In this demo, Senior Solutions Engineer Ben Boral shows a simple pipeline that runs a fast linting check first, then executes two test suites in parallel to reduce wall clock time, and gates the build step on the success of those tests - speeding up the feedback loop and avoiding wasteful tasks.

Reviewing your build in Bitrise: Build Details page

In this demo, Naveen Nazimudeen, Solutions Engineer at Bitrise, explores the Build Details page and shows how to quickly get to the root cause of a failed build. He looks at key tabs like Build Logs, Tests (including flaky test detection and quarantine), Artifacts, Build Cache, and VM Monitoring for performance and out-of-memory debugging.

Reflect vision-based AI demo | Create one test for multiple platforms

Create a single mobile test that runs reliably on both iOS and Android - without building separate tests per platform or relying on brittle, platform-specific locators. In this high-level demo, we use SmartBear Reflect’s vision-based AI to record a typical workflow in a sample coffee app, where each step is backed by visual context and intent. Then we run the same test across a mix of Apple and Android devices, including an iPhone, to show how Reflect adapts to the environment at runtime and helps reduce flakiness and false positives.

Al boosts developer speed, so why does it slow testers down?

AI slows testers down when it’s added without a tester-first experience. Testers naturally question coverage and intent, so Katalon designs AI around real testing workflows to boost productivity instead of creating friction. — Alex Martins, VP of Strategy at Katalon Follow Katalon for more insights in our series!
