What is Feedly?

Feedly compounds its AI threat-intelligence stack release by release.

Feedly Threat Intelligence is shipping a steady cadence of AI and coverage work—a smarter Insider Threats model, sharper cyberattack clustering, AI-powered research in the Cyberattack Agent, and IoC enrichment via GreyNoise and VirusTotal. New ecosystem integrations (Analyst1, Microsoft Teams) and workflow conveniences round out the window. The product's center of gravity is AI-assisted security research.

What is BigQuery?

BigQuery doubles down on Iceberg, graph, and global data sharing as the lakehouse fight intensifies.

BigQuery's May 2026 ship list is dominated by three tracks: open-format lakehouse integration (Iceberg v3 with deletion vectors, REST catalog support in Conversational Analytics), graph capabilities maturing inside BigQuery Studio, and global data exchange via multi-region sharing listings reaching GA. Alongside the feature work, Google is tightening Data Transfer Service security (MFA on Google Ads transfers) and warning about Ads retention changes that will cap historical backfills from June 1. The release notes show a mature warehouse continuing to absorb adjacent workloads rather than reinventing itself.

Feedly vs BigQuery: editorial side-by-side

Feedly
ANALYTICS
5.0

Feedly compounds its AI threat-intelligence stack release by release.

◆ Current state

Feedly Threat Intelligence is shipping a steady cadence of AI and coverage work—a smarter Insider Threats model, sharper cyberattack clustering, AI-powered research in the Cyberattack Agent, and IoC enrichment via GreyNoise and VirusTotal. New ecosystem integrations (Analyst1, Microsoft Teams) and workflow conveniences round out the window. The product's center of gravity is AI-assisted security research.

◆ Where it's heading

Feedly is consolidating around AI-driven threat intelligence: agentic research, model-based detection, and tighter delivery into analyst workflows like Slack, Teams, and Analyst1. The releases broaden enrichment sources and coverage rather than redrawing the product.

◆ Prediction

Expect more enrichment integrations and AI-model detection categories, plus deeper Cyberattack Agent autonomy and delivery into more analyst tools.

BigQuery doubles down on Iceberg, graph, and global data sharing as the lakehouse fight intensifies.

◆ Current state

BigQuery's May 2026 ship list is dominated by three tracks: open-format lakehouse integration (Iceberg v3 with deletion vectors, REST catalog support in Conversational Analytics), graph capabilities maturing inside BigQuery Studio, and global data exchange via multi-region sharing listings reaching GA. Alongside the feature work, Google is tightening Data Transfer Service security (MFA on Google Ads transfers) and warning about Ads retention changes that will cap historical backfills from June 1. The release notes show a mature warehouse continuing to absorb adjacent workloads rather than reinventing itself.

◆ Where it's heading

BigQuery is positioning itself as the federated query and sharing fabric for a multi-format world, with Iceberg getting closer to first-class status and Conversational Analytics extending across external catalogs. The graph and notebook work signals a push to keep more analytical work inside Studio instead of bouncing to specialized tools. Expect continued layering of governance, AI-assisted query, and open-table support on top of the existing engine rather than core engine reinvention.

◆ Prediction

Next obvious step is GA for Iceberg v3 features and full conversational graph querying without Preview gating. Watch for additional first-party data sources getting MFA mandates, mirroring the Google Ads tightening.
