Build an automated ETL pipeline for cryptocurrency data with CircleCI

To stay ahead in the crypto world, you need latest information about cryptocurrencies. With so many coins out there and prices changing all the time, knowing which ones are doing the best gives you a quick snapshot of what’s hot right now. Whether you’re investing, just curious, or trying to understand the market better, this information makes it easier to spot trends and make smarter decisions.

Deployment of AWS Step Functions with Lambda and CircleCI

In this guide, you will build and deploy a serverless data processing workflow using AWS Step Functions and AWS Lambda. This approach enables you to orchestrate discrete processing tasks in a scalable and cost-efficient way, leveraging the event-driven architecture that AWS offers. You will begin by creating individual Lambda functions that handle specific tasks in your data pipeline.

Building community-first brands ft. Edreece Arghandiwal, CMO & Co-Founder of Oakland Roots SC

In this special episode of The Confident Commit, Rob Zuber sits down with Edreece Arghandiwal, CMO and Co-Founder of Oakland Roots Soccer Club, for an inspiring conversation about building purpose-driven organizations from the ground up. Edreece shares how the Roots challenged traditional sports business models by putting community first, turning a simple question—"Why isn't there professional soccer in Oakland?"—into a movement that raised $3.5 million from 6,000+ community investors with zero paid advertising.

Audit log streaming for real-time security visibility in your CI/CD pipeline

Security and compliance teams face a critical challenge: by the time they discover suspicious activity in their development pipeline, it’s often too late to prevent damage. Manual audit log requests create bottlenecks that delay incident response, and gaps in visibility leave organizations vulnerable to insider threats and compliance violations. If your team struggles with any of these issues, you need a systematic approach to real-time audit monitoring.

Build a versatile query agent with RAG, LlamaIndex, and Google Gemini

As a developer, you often face the challenge of retrieving information from multiple sources with different structures. What if you could create a single interface that automatically routes queries to the right data source? Imagine your application needing to answer both “What’s the population of California?” and “What are popular attractions in Hawaii?”.

Introducing Chunk: The agent that validates code at AI speed

The software development landscape has fundamentally shifted. Teams are shipping more value faster than ever, leveraging AI to generate code at unprecedented speed. But with this velocity comes equally dramatic complexity — small teams now face challenges that once belonged only to large organizations, while large organizations grapple with codebases that strain human comprehension. This complexity isn’t a bug — it’s a productivity opportunity to embrace.

The real reason your AI initiatives are failing

AI has made it faster and easier to change a codebase than ever before. But in a system as complex and interdependent as modern software delivery, writing code has never been the biggest challenge. For most teams, the real constraint is getting that code safely into production. So while AI assistants and autonomous coding agents have dramatically accelerated the pace of change, for many organizations those changes are piling up against bottlenecks that were already slowing them down.

Strategic career decisions ft. Cate Huston, Engineering Director at DuckDuckGo

In this episode of The Confident Commit, Rob Zuber sits down with Cate Huston, Engineering Director at DuckDuckGo and author of "The Engineering Leader," for a deep dive into career ownership and sustainable engineering leadership. Cate challenges the common misconception that career growth equals promotion, introducing the concept of being the "directly responsible individual" for your own career and the crucial difference between "buying" versus "renting" your skills in the marketplace.

Build and deploy a Pinecone question answering RAG application

Vector databases allow you to store, manage, and efficiently query high-dimensional vector data, which are numerical representations of data like text, images, or audio. Pinecone is a fully managed vector database optimized for fast, scalable similarity search—to power a Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) system. This allows you to enhance language model responses by grounding them in relevant context retrieved from your own documents.

Automating GDPR compliance for web applications with CircleCI

Since 2018, the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) compliance has been an important milestone in the evolution of privacy laws for web application users across Europe. GDPR requires companies to obtain explicit user consent for data collection and processing, and only for specified, legitimate purposes. It’s a law based on principles of transparency and purpose limitation. This law applies to global companies dealing with EU citizen data, giving individuals control over personal data.
