Last week I wrote a short article about the synergies between #knowledgegraphs and #ai, and the way #devrev solves for that in our platform. Of course, I wanted to try to explain and summarize that "graph"-ically. How does this look for a summary?

I wrote some ideas about a "classic" IT problem that I think is popping up more and more in the #agentic #ai world: how to go about developing these solutions for my business.

I got the chance to write another short blogpost on the #devrev website about how #ai #agents can take different forms - eg. synchronous vs asynchronous - and how your business needs a platform that supports them all - read it on devrev.ai/blog/case-as...

At #DevRev, I have found so many interesting ideas and topics that drive me, and our team, forward. #ETL, #knowledgegraphs and #AI #agents are of course the three core ones, but even more importantly it's the fact that we can truly help clients become more operationally efficient - now!

Achievement unlocked!
I just published my first #blogpost on the #devrev blog. It's about how, in order to be truly productive, #ai #agents will need both #structured and #unstructured data. Read it over here devrev.ai/blog/structu... and let me know what you think!

Here's a short article that I wrote about why I think #devrev 's layered approach to building #agentic #ai systems is so cool. See blog.bruggen.com/2025/06/why-... or on LinkedIn... As always feedback welcome!

Over the weekend, I was reflecting on how customers build or buy #ai solutions. Should you #buildorbuy a technology these days? I thought I would write down some of my thoughts, and apply them to how #DevRev is using this approach today in the marketplace.

Don't try these fallacies at home kids!
@jimdowling.bsky.social has a thing or two to say about building *production* #ai and #ml systems. Not your odd hobby project - but a true 24/7 system that you can rely on. That's why we do what we do at @hopsworks.bsky.social .

Here's a piece that I wrote about "Integrated MLOps Components". www.hopsworks.ai/post/hopswor...

Over the past year or so, I have found that customers often consider a build vs. buy question. And I understand them.

This is very cool. Lex and Aleksey show you how you can use an #LLM #assistant to generate code that automatically imports features into the Hopsworks feature store. This makes getting started with the #ai #lakehouse even easier! See youtu.be/wtEPONdKV6Y for another great episode of #showdonttell.
