A critical part of the ability to get new integrations to market is around leveraging the domain knowledge of the business user as Mark explains and 1Logtech Inc makes possible.

Autonomous vehicle startup Pronto has acquired its off-road competitor SafeAI (now part of Pronto). This acquisition is a major talent and technology play in the autonomous haulage space, combining two of the leading players in the market. San Francisco-based Pronto, which develops self-driving systems for haulage trucks at construction and mining sites, will absorb the bulk of SafeAI's 12-person engineering team and its IP. The deal will allow Pronto to offer customers a tiered technology portfolio, combining its camera-only approach with SafeAI's multi-sensor system. The terms of the deal were not disclosed, but a source familiar with the matter said the acquisition price was in "the millions." This move will help Pronto serve more customers internationally and meet a wider variety of needs, from small quarries to large mines. Congratulations to Pronto CEO Anthony Levandowski and the teams at both companies.

Going live now. The bottleneck isn’t models — it’s data that isn’t autonomous-ready. Agents can’t decide or execute when the substrate lacks trust surfaces, lineage, semantic contracts, and policy validation. We’ll share how a Fortune 500 moved from dashboards → decisions: ✓ 70% less reconciliation ✓ Trust tied to business KPIs ✓ Lineage + policy surfaced to consuming systems ✓ Agents closed loops instead of creating tickets ✓ MDM + RevOps + analytics integration ✓ Audit + governance without slowing execution

I'm incredibly excited for this talk. Top K queries are the backbone of search engines, which have historically been NoSQL databases unable to execute JOINs. We're fixing this with ParadeDB. Highly recommend attending, I promise you'll learn something!

"I have only made this letter longer because I have not had the time to make it shorter." - Blaise Pascal'' This also applies to software demos. We've tightened the onboarding workflow and now have a 60 second demo of the journey from a blank slate in Claude Code to a deployed preview application on VeilStream.

Closing the SQL Migration Gap with DH2i 🚀 Just wrapped a fascinating conversation with Don Boxley Jr, CEO & Co-Founder of DH2i, on how IT teams can finally bridge the long-standing gap between Windows-based SQL Server environments and the Linux/Kubernetes world that modern apps demand. DH2i delivers high availability + secure, cross-platform mobility for SQL Server, Oracle, and MySQL. Their platform, DX Enterprise, lets organizations run the same SQL instance across Windows, Linux, and Kubernetes — and fail over between them seamlessly. With SQL Server 2025 pushing deeper into AI workloads, this capability has never been more relevant. 💡 “Most teams think they’re stuck on Windows — they’re not,” Don told me. “DX Enterprise lets you move SQL Server to Linux or containers without disruption.” We also discussed DH2i’s new hands-on Minikube tutorial that lets DBAs experiment with Kubernetes-based SQL on their own machines before rolling anything into production. 🔗 Learn more at dh2i.com Software Mind Telco Days 2025: https://lnkd.in/g6zqpDgS On-demand online conference Engaging Customers, Harnessing Data #SQLServer #Kubernetes #Linux #Containers #HighAvailability #AI #MSP #ChannelPartners #TechResellerNews #Podcast

Context engineering shifts LLMs from oracle to analyst—frame the task, curate tokens, and apply reusable patterns (RAG, tool calls, memory) to keep complex systems robust. A must-read for product and Agile teams building trustworthy AI-enabled workflows. Explore Chris Loy's take: https://buff.ly/Ca2GrrO #Product
