Open Source Worth Watching Right Now (5) Data and ML Pipelines
A data pipeline is not something a single scheduler solves. Ingestion, transformation, orchestration, execution engines, the model lifecycle, and search stores have each become the territory of a different tool. This pos

Two engineering posts Databricks published back to back in July and August 2026 show that the handling of coding agent spend is moving away from budget caps and toward a gateway plus progressive friction. This post takes
