Robotic process automation (RPA) is a software system automation approach that employs pre-programmed “bots” to automate manual tasks, typically through a user interface (UI). RPA tools are primarily used to automate business processes that once depended on human resources and were highly repetitive and operational in nature. Many of these business processes are rooted in legacy technology, which often acts as a bottleneck due to its outdated nature.

There's no denying that OpenAI's remarkable artificial intelligence applications (ChatGPT and DALL-E) have captured the zeitgeist and hurled the topic of Generative AI into every company boardroom. Conversations range from apocalyptic hand-wringing to blissful ignorance. I wonder if ChatGPT will single-handedly save the chatbot industry, or is this just another tech fad that will quickly wither and die?

In today's data-driven world, organizations seek efficient and scalable solutions for processing and analyzing vast amounts of data in real-time. One powerful combination that enables such capabilities is Snowflake, a cloud-based data warehousing platform, and Apache Kafka, a distributed streaming platform.

Machine Learning (ML) is at the heart of the boom in AI Applications, revolutionizing various domains. From powering intelligent Large Language Model (LLM) based chatbots like ChatGPT and Bard, to enabling text-to-AI image generators like Stable Diffusion, ML continues to drive innovation. Its transformative impact advances multiple fields from genetics to medicine to finance. Without exaggeration, ML has the potential to profoundly change lives, if it hasn’t already.

MISRA C++:2023® is the widely anticipated next version of the MISRA C++® standard, which will be released later this year. The new version will integrate the AUTOSAR C++ 14 guidelines and support more recent versions of C++. MISRA®, a set of C and C++ coding standards developed by the Motor Industry Software Reliability Association (MISRA), is one of the best standards not just for the automotive industry, but any industry that uses embedded systems.

Not sure you need test automation? Think again. Here are the top 10 benefits of automated testing in the cloud.

Running an API call as a scheduled task is a common need for any business. Whether you need to synchronize data between two endpoints or regularly pull information from one system to another, it makes sense to automate the process rather than remembering to do it manually every time. As sysadmins everywhere know — you can schedule API calls with Cron.
