The Hidden Cost of Code: How to Build Energy-Efficient CI/CD Pipelines
You will not find a smokestack on any CI/CD pipeline, nor a carbon meter in the corner of your screen to pass quiet judgment on the build. Yet the energy use is no less real. Every server running a test suite, every virtual machine at work on some compilation, every container image that is stored is an electricity consumer. Multiply that by the thousands of pipelines a development team puts through the system in a month and the costs mount up.

Beyond The Data Wall - Federated Learning Without Sacrificing Privacy
There has been a refrain in the business world for years: gather more data, put it in storage, run the analysis, and then do it all over again with even more. In some quarters it was like a sport.

Blog Predictive Testing: Using AI to Catch Bugs Before They Happen
There is something about software bugs that makes them appear at precisely the wrong time. You are in the thick of development and everything is going well. The build is good, the demo was a success, morale is high. But then an accountant hits a button no one put to the test, or a customer tries to upload a file with some odd name, and before you know it the support team is in for a long afternoon. In a way it is like a leaky roof. Spot the problem on a clear day and you can fix it in a jiffy. T…
