Nearly every facet of society has felt the impact of AI since it burst into the mainstream in late 2022 with the public launch of ChatGPT. In 2024, the retail and consumer goods industry is expected to experience massive upheaval due to the proliferation of generative AI (gen AI) tools as well as changes in customer engagement and the general manner in which products are now sold.

‍For almost a decade now, Countly has been extendable through the plugin system. But it also had its cost. In this article, we will explore how it worked before, what the limitations were, and what we did to improve the situation.

In the past, querying a database required Structured Query Language (SQL) skills, or knowledge of other database query languages, such as Kibana Query Language (KQL). Today, with the emergence of generative AI (GenAI), teams can query their analytic database using natural language — and get plain English results in return. Or, if you prefer to still use SQL, many teams use GenAI for database query optimization, making queries faster and more efficient.

Experts predict that the global enterprise data management market will grow at a compound annual growth rate of 12.1% until 2030. Your organization’s database management system (DBMS) stores all the enterprise data you need for software applications, systems, and IT environments, helping you make smarter data-driven business decisions. Here are the key things to know about database schema design.

When choosing a modern database, one of the biggest decisions is picking a relational (SQL) or non-relational (NoSQL) data structure. Both systems offer unique advantages and cater to different needs, making the choice between them crucial for optimal data management.

Vector search in BigQuery, or approximate nearest-neighbor search, enables AI use cases like semantic search, similarity detection, and RAG with LLMs.

In the realm of data engineering, XML (Extensible Markup Language) plays a pivotal role in the exchange and storage of structured data. Its flexibility and widespread acceptance make it a cornerstone for data interchange across diverse systems. However, the process is not without its hurdles. XML import errors can pose significant challenges, impacting data integrity and workflow efficiency.
