Building real-time applications in the cloud means making the right infrastructure choices early. And for many engineering teams leveraging Amazon Web Services (AWS), Apache Kafka is a key component of their streaming architectures. While open source Kafka provides a powerful foundation, operating it at scale in production often means navigating challenges when provisioning, scaling, securing, and integrating across environments. That’s where Confluent Cloud comes in.

Every action you automate in Selenium starts with one thing: finding the right web element. That’s where locators come in. They guide Selenium to the exact button, input field, or text box it needs to interact with. Locators in Selenium are essential. Without them, you can't click a button, fill out a form, or verify if a message appears on the screen. They're the foundation of every test case you write. In this article, we’ll walk you through: Let’s get started!

Testing is hitting its limits in speed, scale, and insight. AI-augmented and agentic systems can help but only if we adopt them intentionally. This blog series lays out a Crawl–Walk–Run maturity path for adopting agentic testing capabilities safely and strategically. We’ll show you how to move from assistive agents to coordinated systems without losing control or trust.

Vietnam is one of Asia's most significant high-growth markets for open banking adoption.

Modern enterprises are embracing multi-cloud strategies to avoid vendor lock-in, optimize costs, and ensure resilience. Yet managing API infrastructure (which also happens to be AI infrastructure) across multiple cloud providers while maintaining performance and simplicity remains a significant challenge.

IT Professionals Day is our opportunity to celebrate the people who keep the digital world running - the ones who make sure data is secure, reliable, and ready to power innovation. At Qlik, we know IT professionals aren’t just solving problems, they’re enabling possibilities.

A few months ago, at Qlik Connect, we announced the launch of Qlik Open Lakehouse, a new, fully managed capability that brings together the best of the Upsolver platform together with Qlik Talend Cloud. And today, we are excited to announce the general availability of Qlik Open Lakehouse within Qlik Talend Cloud that makes it easy and cost-effective for organizations to ingest, optimize, and manage massive amounts of data directly in Apache Iceberg–based lakehouses.

Being effective is not just about output. It describes how a team works together to deliver results that actually matter. At Databox, we define effective teams as ones that are clear on expectations, aligned on goals, and confident in how their work connects to the bigger picture. Sounds good in theory, right? But how do we actually achieve it?

Every QA engineer has felt the crunch: tighter deadlines, growing complexity, and the same old expectation that everything must work perfectly by release day. It’s not an easy balance. That’s why AI in software testing has become such a hot topic. It promises faster test case generation, smarter insights, and support with tasks that usually eat up hours of time. But let’s be clear: AI isn’t here to replace testers.
