AI-Native CI/CD Testing: Building Reliable Release Pipelines for AI Applications

Traditional CI/CD pipelines relied on determinism, assuming code produced an exact, repeatable output. Generative models and agentic workflows break this model. A single prompt edit or model checkpoint update can pass standard unit tests while causing silent regressions like truncated API payloads or missing parameters five steps downstream. To ship probabilistic AI reliably, engineering teams must redefine what counts as a passing test.

Performance Considerations with Offset and Cursor Pagination in Plain PHP and Doctrine ORM

Displaying a list of items from the database is probably the most common functionality built for web applications. This is where pagination with LIMIT clause comes into play, which is most likely what you learned to use. This pattern is called offset pagination. In this post I am going to contrast it with cursor pagination and the performance considerations that come with the choice of pagination algorithm. Examples are with Plain PHP and Doctrine ORM 3.7, which ships a new CursorPaginator class.

AI at Scale: Why Trust, Not the Model, Decides Who Wins

Every AI conversation eventually turns into a model conversation: which one is fastest, which one hallucinates least, which one your competitors are already using. Three recent episodes of The Data and AI Chief, hosted by ThoughtSpot's Chief Data and AI Strategy Officer Cindi Howson, make a different case entirely about what it takes to scale AI in the enterprise.

Building With ARIA: From Plain English to EDI Flows

ARIA is an AI Agent that has full knowledge of the Astera ecosystem. Sudais (Growth Strategist) sits down with Hasham Qazi (AI Product Specialist), to talk about why, and how that single agent, ARIA, builds data flows, workflows, and EDI pipelines from plain-language prompts. Hasham walks through a real use case, building an EDI flow from a file you hand to the agent, and explains what ARIA does when your prompt has gaps, how it checks its own work, and where it's heading next.

Nobody Wants Your New AI Agent #devops #aiagents #softwaredevelopment #techtrends #ai

DevOps customers are rejecting standalone AI agents and web interfaces in favor of integrating context directly into their existing harnesses, such as Copilot or Claude. Rather than logging into separate tools, developers prefer combining models and technologies within a single context window to streamline software development and debugging.

Why Enterprise AI Context Lives in People's Heads, and How to Fix It

Why does context always seem to live in people's heads in enterprise organizations? According to Jessica Talisman, author of The Ontology Pipeline and founder of Contextually LLM, the answer is that organizations have invested heavily in data management for decades — and almost nothing in knowledge management. In this clip from Day 1 of our Semantic & Context Layer Series, Jessica joins Jane Smith and Sonny Rivera to untangle the terminology confusion around semantic layers, context layers, and memory and explain why the gap between data and knowledge is exactly where AI answers break down.

Cautionary Tales from the Age of AI

Can AI agents actually fix production Kubernetes clusters, or are we just trapped in flashy AI marketing hype? In this Cloud Native Budapest session at Cloudera, Yurii Palamarchuk (Cloudera) breaks down why most AI demos fail in production, and Péter Megyesi shares how autonomous AI agents (Claude Code, kubectl) resolved a complex 6-year-old Ceph & Kubernetes outage.

How Agentic Performance Testing differs from co-pilots and AI assistants

Most AI tools are designed as one assistant or co-pilot answering one prompt, but Tricentis Agentic Performance Testing is built differently. In this video, Product Marketing Manager Twan Koot explains the two pieces behind it: purpose-built tools and a team of seven specialized agents, each designed to do a performance tester’s job the way it should be done. Key highlights.

Marketing Root Cause Analysis: Using AI to Diagnose Why Performance Dropped (and What It Leaves Out)

Your dashboard already told you ROAS dropped. The expensive question is why, and answering it means correlating data across platforms, isolating variables, and testing hypotheses against the numbers. Done by hand, that is an afternoon per incident. Done by AI, it takes seconds, with one catch.
