In the blog post Call a Fabric REST API from Azure Data Factory I explained how you can call a Fabric REST API endpoint from Azure Data Factory (or Synapse if you will). Let’s go a step further and execute a Fabric Data Pipeline from an ADF pipeline, which is a common request. A Fabric capacity cannot auto-resume, so you typically have an ADF pipeline that starts the Fabric capacity. After the capacity is started, you want to kick-off your ETL pipelines in Fabric and now you can do this from ADF as well.PrerequisitesYou obviously need an ADF instance and…

Legit Security at the 2025 RSA Conference today extended the reach of its application security posture management (ASPM) platform that leverages artificial intelligence (AI) to identify vulnerabilities and other weaknesses to now include suggestions for remediating issues in code.The company has also extended its existing discovery capabilities to now include AI models that are part of the software supply chain, while simultaneously infusing AI capabilities into its risk assessment capability to provide severity rankings of potential threats.Legit Security CTO Liav Caspi said, in effect, the ASPM platform assigns AI agents to perform these and other tasks using an AI agent…
Modern society uses complex and distributed systems, making traditional monitoring tools inadequate. Traditional monitoring tools cannot handle the bulk of data passing through modern systems, making them slow to address and model every aspect of achieving suitable results. Notably, modern organizations have to create more visibility to ensure higher performance, making them demand the use of various systems that can assist in advancing solutions to pertinent issues. OpenTelemetry is an open-source framework that can be used to collect telemetry data. It further streamlines data export, empowering in-depth analysis of system performance across multiple services by leveraging logs, traces and metrics.…
In the heart of a fast-growing Fintech company, the Payments and Transfers business unit was facing a quiet crisis. Tasked with rapidly rolling out new capabilities while ensuring transactional reliability, they had a strong team, an ambitious roadmap and a market eager for innovation. Yet, with every release cycle, they found themselves hitting the same wall: Missed deadlines, recurring defects and a QA bottleneck that just wouldn’t budge.The Core of the Problem was Clear — Testing was Dragging Them DownWhile their developers had adopted modern DevOps workflows, the testing process remained stubbornly manual and fractured. Test strategies were developed from…
Minimus today at the 2025 RSA Conference launched a managed service through which it ensures application development teams are provided access to a secure set of minimal container images and virtual machines.Company CTO John Morello said the Minimus service eliminates the possibility that developers might inadvertently download software artifacts that might be infested with malware.At the core of the Minimus service is an operating system the company specifically developed to make managing the orchestration of software artifacts simpler. That capability then enabled Minimus to ensure that hardened software artifacts that have been configured to minimize the overall size of the…
Text-based user interfaces (TUIs) are making a BIG comeback. Many developers of today need to easy-to-use applications to configure and run jobs on headless servers. You can make your own life and the lives of your team so much easier by learning how to create a TUI yourself. Textual is a rapid application development framework for your terminal or web browser that is written in Python. You can build complex, sophisticated applications in your terminal. While terminal applications are text-based rather than pixel-based, they still provide fantastic user interfaces. Back the Kickstarter Now! The Textual package allows you to…
I’ve been using the SSMS preview for v21. This is the next evolution of SSMS, where the VS shell is finally being updated. For many of us, SSMS has been using an old version of the Visual Studio shell as its basis for development. It’s a locked down version, which is limited what’s possible in SSMS. Redgate and a few other companies have hacked in tools like SQL Prompt and SQL Source Control, but the number of extensions.In any case, this post looks at the upgrade to preview 6. I was on 4 on this machine, and I noticed a…
ttyd is a lightweight, open-source command-line tool that enables you to share your Linux terminal session via a web browser. By using WebSockets, ttyd allows you to interact with the terminal remotely as if you were directly on the machine, making it ideal for remote administration, team collaboration, or educational demonstrations. This tool wraps a terminal application (such as bash) and provides a simple, web-based interface accessible from any modern browser. With its ease of installation and customizable security features like basic authentication and SSL, ttyd is a powerful solution for accessing and sharing terminal sessions over the web. Use…

Imagine trying to solve a puzzle but with only half the pieces. Your puzzle will always fall short, missing key elements that reveal the whole picture. This is the challenge you can face when applying AI to your code. Without access to the right kind of data, even the most advanced AI models face limitations in their ability to transform, analyze or understand software at scale. Code isn’t just text — it’s a living, interconnected system of logic, dependencies and relationships. Code representations such as abstract syntax trees (ASTs) offer a step forward from raw text, providing structure and syntax awareness.…
