Dashboards have long served as a primary way for organizations to extract insights from data, but they can fall short in agile environments: Dashboards aren’t interactive and don’t allow you to ask follow-up questions. This forces users to step outside their workflows or turn to data analysts to get the answers they need. Today, we are introducing Looker dashboard agents…

Introduction Mandiant and Google Threat Intelligence Group (GTIG) have identified an active compromise and extortion campaign attributed to UNC6240 (ShinyHunters) targeting Oracle PeopleSoft application infrastructure. The activity was observed between May 27, 2026, and June 9, 2026 and is consistent with the exploitation of CVE-2026-35273, a critical remote code execution vulnerability (CVSS 9.8) in the Environment Management component. The exploitation…

Look at any builder's prompt history and you'll see a collection of highly specific, sometimes chaotic, one-off prompts. We use AI to debug a single error message, refactor a messy email, or generate a quick boilerplate. If you sit down with people who consistently ship high-quality work, you'll find something interesting. They aren't just improvising. They have a set of…

From foundational ETL and analytics to the frontier of generative AI, Apache Spark serves as the architectural backbone for global data processing. However, as data volumes scale, the trade-off between performance and infrastructure costs can be a limiting factor for growth. In the agentic era, where autonomous agents can trigger thousands of concurrent, multi-hop queries, this performance bottleneck directly dictates…

As generative AI moves from experimental pilots to massive production environments, the efficiency of your infrastructure becomes the ultimate differentiator. One way to get the most out of it and minimize costly accelerator idle time is to leverage the Google Kubernetes Engine (GKE) Inference Gateway, which intelligently routes generative AI workloads based on real-time model server metrics. Instead of relying…

As enterprise storage footprints scale to billions of objects, AI applications and agentic workloads are fundamentally shifting the role of storage from a passive repository to the foundation of the data platform. This is driven by a surge in unstructured model data and the billions of actions performed on those objects, including session logs and audit trails. To manage this…
