MongoDB has extended vector search and other capabilities to its self-managed database offerings — Enterprise Server and Community edition — to help developers build generative AI and agentic applications. The same capabilities were added to its managed database offering ...
Over the last few years, Rust has evolved from a curiosity brewed up in a Mozilla employee’s lab to a strong contender for the next generation of system-native applications and bare-metal solutions. Those advances come from Rust providing its own toolchain and component...
The conversation around enterprise AI infrastructure has shifted dramatically in the past 18 months. While public cloud providers continue to dominate headlines with their latest GPU offerings and managed AI services, a quiet revolution is taking place in enterprise data...
When I was just starting out writing code, the market for developer tools was small. It mainly consisted of compilers, debuggers, and IDEs. The advent of visual development brought about the sale of component sets, but ultimately, the market wasn’t all that big and the...
When I was a young engineer, there was a gruff old programmer named Larry who often imparted his wisdom to us young’uns. A man in his forties, he had that gritty, seen-it-all manner that bespoke years of hard-fought battles in the coding trenches. His was a heart of gold...
Microsoft has released its first preview of the Visual Studio 2026 IDE through the company’s new Insiders channel, which replaces the old Preview channel for early access to upcoming features. The new IDE offers deeper integration of the GitHub Copilot AI coding assistant, ...

MongoDB has launched a new AI-driven application modernization platform called AMP, designed to help enterprises transform legacy applications into modern, scalable services that support AI and automation. Legacy applications often accumulate technical debt, such as outdated ...
Microsoft is adding two new features to its cloud-based Fabric to help agentic applications make more accurate decisions while navigating complex workflows and help developers integrate AI-driven insights directly into an enterprise’s data operations. The two new...
For years, cloud computing was synonymous with transformative innovation and, perhaps more importantly, robust security. Cloud providers proudly marketed their platforms as safer and more resilient than anything enterprise IT could match. They held themselves as stewards of...
With JDK 25, Java reaches another Long-Term Support (LTS) milestone — and for enterprises, that makes this release unavoidable. Oracle’s licensing terms for JDK 21 will soon expire, creating a ticking clock for organizations that want to stay on a free distribution. But...
The three biggest hyperscalers in the US are AWS, Microsoft Azure, and Google Cloud. The biggest hyperscaler in China (and the sixth in the world) is Alibaba Cloud. Alibaba’s large language model and multimodal model family, Tongyi Qianwen, or Qwen, competes with models...

Overall, developers using Rust are satisfied with Rust compilation performance, but slow builds and rebuilds in several common workflows limit the productivity for a significant fraction of Rust users, according to the Rust Compiler Performance Survey, which was conducted...
When I first started experimenting with voice AI agents for real-world tasks like restaurant reservations and customer service calls, I quickly ran into a fundamental problem. My initial monolithic agent was trying to do everything at once: understand complex customer...
As an industry, we’ve gotten good at buying our way out of bad decisions. Need more throughput? Add instances. Tail latencies get spiky? Add a cache in front of the cache. Kelly Sommers nails the root cause: Pattern-driven architectures can be organizationally tidy yet...
Cloud computing and cybersecurity are among the featured players on the contemporary software development stage, but artificial intelligence (AI) is the star. AI continues to gain momentum as a force for business growth and opportunity, and tech and business leaders are...
When a vendor offered 2000 tokens per second (TPS) of Qwen3-Coder-480B-A35B-Instruct (aka Qwen3 Coder) for $50 (Cerebras Code Pro) or $200 (Cerebras Code Max), I, like many, was spellbound. However, the offer was sold out almost instantaneously. When the next window opened...

Kotlin 2.2.20 has been released, with the latest version of the concise, multiplatform, “pragmatic” programming language bringing its WebAssembly-compilation component, Kotlin/Wasm, into beta. JetBrains announced Kotlin 2.2.20 release on September 10. The release...
Enterprise AI tends to default to large language models (LLMs), overlooking small language models (SLMs). But bigger isn’t always better. Often, a smaller, more specialized model can do the work faster and more efficiently. What complicates things is that neither an LLM...
The way to get the best from Python, aka “the lingua franca of AI,” is by knowing both its traps and its treasures. One such treasure is using uv run as a magic launcher; another is a chatbot library that spares you the pain of writing SQL for data queries. Get these...
