A critical privilege escalation vulnerability, ImageRunner, affecting Google Cloud was promptly fixed before it could allow attackers to access sensitive information from GCP deployments. The issue, as discovered by the cybersecurity company Tenable, could have enabled an...
Kong AI Gateway 3.10 introduces new capabilities designed to help organizations govern their generative AI usage more effectively, reduce hallucinations from large language models (LLMs), and boost developer productivity. We achieve this while keeping sensitive data...
Want to make a Python user grind their teeth? Just recite three words: Python is slow. In many of the ways that matter, it’s true. “Pure” Python, without external libraries written in C, is nowhere near as fast at computation or object manipulation as C or C++, or...
Government software development is a curious business. When I was a student at the Naval Postgraduate School, I wrote a paper called “There is a Lot of Money to be Made Writing Bad Software for the Federal Government.” The general idea is that the incentives to write...
HTMX and Alpine are two low-overhead ways to empower your front end. Neither requires a build step, and both let you add Ajax-style API calls and client-side UI updates with minimal fuss. While the two technologies differ in approach, neither gets in its own way (or yours),...

Red Hat has updated Red Hat Developer Hub, an enterprise internal developer portal based on Backstage. The new release offers a developer preview of Adoption Insights, an analytical dashboard that details how Developer Hub is being used by development teams. With Red Hat...
Python Enhancement Proposal (PEP) 751 gives Python a new file format for specifying dependencies. This file, called a lock file, promises to allow developers to reproduce the installation of their Python projects, with the exact same sets of dependencies, from system to...
Download the April 2025 issue of the Enterprise Spotlight from the editors of CIO, Computerworld, CSO, InfoWorld, and Network World.
The best defense is a good offense, right? When it comes to AI governance, organizations need both. The reason is that genAI capabilities evolve quickly, hype accelerates investments, and data risks are amplified through AI applications. This article looks at how to shore up ...
A JDK Enhancement Proposal (JEP) to prepare to make final mean final in Java would issue warnings about uses of deep reflection to mutate final fields. The warnings would prepare Java developers for a future release that ensures integrity by default by restricting final...
While major cloud providers, such as AWS, Google, and Microsoft are rushing to position themselves as leaders in AI development and deployment, the reality of agentic AI’s impact on public cloud growth may not align with their ambitious projections—at least, in my...
Python’s builders have accepted a proposal to create a universal lock file format for Python projects that would specify dependencies, enabling installation reproducibility in a Python environment. Python Enhancement Proposal (PEP) 751, accepted March 31, aims to create a...

Apple has introduced swiftly 1.0, a version manager for the Swift programming language that is intended to ease the process of installing, managing, and updating the user’s Swift tool chain. Swiftly 1.0 was announced March 28. While swiftly has been available for some...
Ever feel like you’re spending more time squashing bugs than actually building something? You’re not alone—developers spend a whopping 35% of their time debugging and reviewing code instead of writing it. That’s like ordering pizza and only eating the crust. Enter...
Kubernetes is mighty powerful but highly complex. This has influenced many organizations to ditch self-hosted solutions and move toward more fully managed Kubernetes platforms. Nearly 90% of Kubernetes users use cloud-managed services, DataDog reported in 2021. The top cloud ...
Last week I talked up OpenTofu—and for good reason. The Terraform fork has moved beyond being the darling of the infrastructure-as-code (IaC) community to becoming a real, if early, enterprise contender. However, in so doing, I inadvertently threw shade at the market...

There’s more than one way to work with threads, or without them, in Python. In this edition of the Python Report: Get the skinny on Python threads and subprocesses, use Python’s native async library to break up non-CPU-bound tasks, and get started using parallel...
A few days ago, I stared at yet another calendar invitation from a vendor eager to showcase their “groundbreaking” large language model (LLM). The irony wasn’t lost on me—just weeks ago, this same company had proudly showcased its environmental initiatives and...
