Steve is joined by business intelligence architect and author Tim Mitchell. They discuss why SSIS will never die, the general pros of cons of integration services, the evolution from XML to JSON, how AI can help with coding, and taekwondo – among other topics! Recorded on-site at PASS Data Community Summit 2025.

Is architectural purity dead? The big labs are racing for enterprise control, but developers are flocking to OpenClaw for one reason: ergonomics. It treats AI like a human, not a restricted tool. Are you sticking with the corporate harnesses or going unfiltered? Let’s talk in the comments. Learn more: speedscale.com.

When tooling, tech debt, and friction get in the way, even simple tasks take five times longer.

You’ve built a world-class platform – now how do you get it into the hands of your users without "download friction"? In this video, we look at how DataHub, the leading open source metadata platform, uses Cloudsmith as its cloud-native distribution engine to deliver high-performance software artifacts to a global audience with zero downtime and zero maintenance.

What does it take to build a "Golden Path" that developers actually want to use? In this expert-led webinar, Cloudsmith and Octopus Deploy team up to explore the missing link in your software supply chain: turning artifact creation and management into an automated, trust-backed journey from source to ship.

As AI-assisted coding tools increase the amount of code, commits, and builds, optimizing your CI pipeline becomes more important than ever. In this tutorial, we walk through how to use Chunk, CircleCI’s autonomous agent that validates your code at AI speed, to analyze your pipeline history, identify performance bottlenecks, and suggest optimizations to your CI/CD configuration. Chunk leverages critical CI/CD context like build history, test results, and execution data to keep pipelines healthy and moving at AI speed.
