Generative AI continues to capture our collective imagination, and if my feeds are any indication, we're finding new words to describe them all the time — chatbots, copilots, agents and more. But what's the reality here? What do practical AI workloads actually look like? Single-LLM Features These...
There's a story we tell ourselves about data in organizations. It goes something like this: Information wants to be free. Give people access to data, democratize it (as consultants like us tend to say) and better decisions will flow throughout the organization. Empowered employees will...
Welcome back, blog readers! We hope you all had an excellent May. Here in our home state of Oklahoma, the April showers that bring May flowers were a bit delayed this year. This upcoming week, for example, has central Oklahoma projected to be the wettest...
Building robust, automated ingestion pipelines often means stitching together cloud storage, monitoring tools, ETL jobs and error handling logic, all living outside your data warehouse. With Snowflake Openflow, ingestion becomes native, event-driven and easier to manage, all from within Snowflake itself. Today, we’ll cover what Openflow...
As a Tableau, Power BI and Excel user, the idea of a spreadsheet based BI tool struck me as an interesting concept. I had heard that Sigma had a powerful visualization toolset, but l lacked some of the customization options of more traditional BI tools....
Conference season is in full swing! If you’re in the data warehousing and data cloud world at all, then you know we have a big one coming up next week. That’s right, Snowflake Summit 2025 officially kicks off next week from June 2-5 (that’s Monday...
Data Trends for 2025 Data has often been described as the new oil because the effective use of it can revolutionize our society just like fossil fuels have in the past. Consumers continue to create and share data at a faster pace and businesses continue to...
Here’s a question for you: If you were asked to define "Data Governance," how confident would you be in your answer? Considering how quickly the data space is changing, we wouldn’t blame you if your confidence in that answer isn’t as high as you’d like it...

The package I’ve been building throughout this series is a simple API for calling REST API's against your ThoughtSpot cluster. Let’s walk through how to use it! Requirements This package is built to be used in Laravel applications and requires PHP 8.2. You’ll need the URL of...
If you’ve created a Laravel app before you may be used to using tools like Pest or PHPStan. These are great for testing the functionality of the app and readability of your code. However, these both require the structure of a Laravel app to run...
You’ve built a composer package that works great locally and you’d like others to see how great it is. But when the run composer require they can’t find it. That’s because it only exists on your computer and we need to publish it! Fortunately, this...
On the flight out to Tableau Conference this past April, I set out to get up to speed on Tableau’s newest platform, Tableau Next. While digging in, one term kept popping up: Agentic AI. At first, it felt like just another bit of AI jargon....
We now have somewhere to put our package code and a functional Laravel app to test it in live. There are skeleton packages that act as templates like this one, but there’s a benefit to doing it manually at least once. It’s like being forced...
Now that we have an app to test things, we can scaffold the composer package within it. First, let’s take a little detour and look at an example of what we’re trying to achieve. When any composer package is added using composer require package/name, it will...
