Why Apache Iceberg & Open Lakehouse is the Foundation for Data & AI Workloads

In this discussion, Dipankar - Cloudera’s Director of Developer Relations sits with Navita - Director of Product Marketing to unpack why Apache Iceberg has emerged as the foundation of the open lakehouse - and why it’s increasingly essential for modern Data & AI workloads. Dipankar & Navita walks through how Iceberg became the de facto standard among open table formats, what it's design enables (interoperability, engine-agnostic access, reliable metadata), and why openness matters as organizations move toward multi-engine, hybrid data architectures.

How to Coach Sales Reps using Activity, Conversion, and Revenue Data | Data Snacks

In this video, Zorana, Sales Manager at Databox, walks through how she uses a single dashboard to understand sales performance beyond revenue alone. She explains how combining activity metrics, conversion indicators, and revenue outcomes by rep helps her identify who needs coaching, what kind of coaching is required, and where to focus her time each week. You’ll see how trend comparisons highlight improvement or decline early, how gaps between effort and results guide decisions, and how viewing team-wide performance can signal broader process issues.

How Functionality Testing Software Improves Product Quality

You may be surprised to learn that more than 70% of software failures due to unaddressed functional issues that could have been caught during testing. Think about it: you release a new app or system, a user clicks their way through a common user flow…and it fails. In our competitive digital economy, we assume performance and intuitiveness—one hiccup, and users will stop using you as a provider, and possibly undermine your credibility.

Hevo demo days: Live workshop- build a production-ready Pipeline in 10 minutes.

Data drives every strategic move today, from real-time customer experiences to AI that powers business outcomes. But the infrastructure behind that data is often anything but modern. Pipelines are fragile, visibility is limited, and every schema change or API hiccup turns into engineering firefighting. Hours get lost to manual fixes and maintenance instead of innovation. When reliable data depends on constant human attention, the pace of the business suffers.

What Is an MCP Gateway? Key Features and Benefits

API protocols evolve every few years. We have moved from SOAP to REST, then to GraphQL, gRPC, and AsyncAPI for event-driven systems. Now with the rise of large language models (LLMs) and AI agents, organizations need a new class of interfaces that allow agents to take action across real systems, not just generate text. LLMs are powerful reasoning engines, but they lack context. They cannot perform actions by themselves, see real-time data, private information, or internal systems.
