Platform teams want to maximize the value of data in motion, but separate workstreams for stream processing, monitoring, KRaft migrations, and data governance create friction as environments grow. As a result, teams spend more time managing operational overhead and less time building. Today, we’re excited to announce Confluent Platform (CP) 8.3.0, built on Apache Kafka 4.3.0, reinforcing our core capabilities as a data streaming platform.

Enterprise teams depend on automated testing to sustain rapid release cycles, yet scaling quickly reveals a major bottleneck: the maintenance footprint. Consider a financial enterprise running a nightly regression suite of 3,000 scripts. A developer updates the checkout UI, renaming a submit button’s class from-submit to-primary. The core payment logic stays completely untouched, yet 400 test cases fail overnight.

At its simplest, AI debugging automates repetitive coding tasks like searching logs, reading stack traces and comparing sessions. But good AI debugging is a much more challenging concept that relies on focused context, runtime evidence and structured investigation paths. In this post we’ll show you how to debug with AI, not just productively but also responsibly. Let’s get into it.

When was the last time you made a major business decision and were completely certain the data behind it was accurate, complete, and trusted? For most organizations, that certainty is less common than it should be. Qlik and Amazon Quick together solve one of the biggest obstacles to AI adoption: knowing whether you can trust the output.

Clinical documentation has become one of the biggest sources of administrative burden in healthcare. Physicians spend hours every week creating notes, updating EHRs, and completing after hours charting. As a result, healthcare organizations are increasingly investing in ambient clinical documentation solutions that can capture conversations, generate notes, and reduce manual documentation work.

Recently someone on our team opened a traffic snapshot and found an HTTP request that was captured with our eBPF capture agent, nettap. Our protocol dissector parsed most of the response correctly, but that correctness ended once the response headers were processed. What they ended up with was a recording of an HTTP request/response where the response body was just an incorrect collection of garbage binary data when it should have been JSON text.

When the Open Semantic Interchange (OSI) initiative launched last year, it set out to solve a problem every data leader recognizes: the same business metric gets defined a dozen different ways across a company's BI tools, warehouses, and now, AI agents. "Monthly active users" in the CRM rarely matches "monthly active users" in the warehouse, and every new AI copilot added to the stack makes the gap more visible, not less. That initiative has just taken its most consequential step yet.
