9 Test Automation Best Practices to Start 2025 Off Right

As we round the bend into 2025, here’s our best advice for maximizing your automation testing productivity and avoiding mistakes. Automated testing entails much more than simply creating tests and enabling them. A “set it and forget it” approach won’t get you very far with automated tests — particularly automated browser tests, which interact with the ever-changing frontend of your application or website.

Testing Kubernetes Ingress with Production Traffic

Kubernetes is an incredibly powerful solution, but testing the Kubernetes Ingress resources themselves can prove to be quite tricky. This can lead to significant frustration for developers – bugs can pop up in production that weren’t caught during testing, workflows that make sense on paper might fail in practice, and so forth.

Unify Streaming and Analytical Data with Apache Iceberg, Confluent Tableflow, and Amazon SageMaker Lakehouse

Earlier this year, we unveiled our vision for Tableflow to feed Apache Kafka streaming data into data lakes, warehouses, or analytical engines with a single click. Since then, many customers have been exploring, experimenting with, and providing valuable feedback on Tableflow Early Access. Our teams have worked tirelessly to incorporate this feedback and are excited to bring Tableflow Open Preview to you in the near future.

What is AWS Lambda Layer and How It Simplifies Serverless Development

AWS Lambda has become a cornerstone of serverless architecture, enabling developers to run code without provisioning or managing servers. However, as applications grow, managing shared code, dependencies, and runtime configuration across multiple Lambda functions becomes challenging. This is where Lambda Layers step in to streamline development and deployment. In this blog we will explore what Lambda Layers are, why they are needed, how they work, and much more.
