Feedly compounds its threat-intel edge with steadier coverage and a thickening AI agent layer
Feedly Threat Intelligence ships on a roughly two-week cadence, deepening raw vulnerability coverage (now Oracle, Atlassian, and Apple advisories plus exploit-type tracking) and enrichment (GreyNoise, VirusTotal, Analyst1). On top of that base it keeps extending AI models — sharper cyberattack clustering, smarter insider-threat detection, and an expanding Cyberattack Agent.
Tinybird funnels customers from Classic to Forward while widening connectors and SDK coverage.
Tinybird, a managed real-time analytics platform built on ClickHouse, is mid-transition from its Classic stack to a new architecture it calls Forward. Recent releases concentrate on three fronts: first-party connectors (DynamoDB, Kafka), deployment safety (explicit flags for destructive schema changes, ATTACH PARTITION, quarantine auto-cleanup), and SDK parity (TypeScript Kafka IAM auth, Python SDK). The cadence is steady and infrastructure-focused, aimed at making Forward production-ready for data-engineering teams running CI/CD.

On top of that base it keeps extending AI models — sharper cyberattack clustering, smarter insider-threat detection, and an expanding Cyberattack Agent.
The pattern is a widening data-and-integration base with an AI analysis layer built over it. Feedly is positioning the product as both a comprehensive intel source and an AI workspace that clusters attacks, extracts IoCs, and answers analyst questions, with delivery into Slack and Teams.
Expect continued biweekly coverage expansion plus more AI-agent analysis features and third-party enrichment integrations, rather than any single directional pivot.

The cadence is steady and infrastructure-focused, aimed at making Forward production-ready for data-engineering teams running CI/CD.
The throughline is consolidation onto Forward and the wind-down of Classic: a migrate-to-forward CLI, documented Developer plan changes, and a hard BI Connector end-of-life on June 30, 2026. Connector breadth and deployment ergonomics are the active investment areas, with new APAC regions and cluster-selection APIs broadening where and how workspaces run.
Expect continued Classic deprecation toward a Forward-default platform, plus more first-party connectors and SDK coverage as migration tooling matures. The BI Connector sunset on June 30 is the next dated milestone in that wind-down.
