Real-time customer analytics has boosted performance and simplified flexible JSON operations
I believe that the documentation should be increased, and features such as vector AI search and other AI capabilities need improvement for Couchbase Capella. I would say that there is a need for developer experience enhancements, including a simpler user interface, better debugging, SQL++ guidance, and more visibility into granular workload-level costs while reporting. Couchbase Capella can improve the accuracy and reliability of its AI output. Though it is not guaranteed that the large language model answer will be correct, improvements can be made by grounding the large language models and controlling parameters such as temperature to provide better results.

Cloud data catalog has streamlined lineage and quality while leaving more automation to improve
I have not explored IDMC's automation capabilities driven by AI and metadata too much at the moment, but it is on the cards. We are basically creating the foundation, as the whole migration has taken place recently and it is still early days. I think Informatica Intelligent Data Management Cloud (IDMC) is evolving, and as the vendors move forward, they pick up new concepts from each other. I have seen that products leapfrog each other, and from my experience over the years, the big players tend to copy features or add enhancements based on industry trends. I feel whatever the tool does not have now, there is a feedback loop allowing us to request new features, and we continually ask for different ways to do things as we have a pipeline into the product management team. It is difficult to say what additional features I would prefer to see in the next release of IDMC. I would appreciate more automation on the lineage front, with more AI to seamlessly join independent sources and create seamless lineage between different technologies, such as from file into database A into a different database and landing up in a reporting system such as Cognos, Qlik, Qlik Sense, QlikView, or Power BI.
