## AI overview

Trivago describes creating Cucable, a Maven plugin that splits Cucumber scenarios into smaller chunks for parallel execution. The article explains limitations of custom runners, tag-based execution, feature-based execution, and existing plugins, particularly for scenario outlines and CI automation.
