A longtime AWS insider, Werner Vogels, breaks down the shift from slow-and-steady software growth to the generative AI rocket ride. Capabilities soared. Guardrails? Not so much. No docs, no handrails - just launch and learn. AWS didn’t chase the hype. It pulled a classic AWS move: doubled down on B2..

SteamPipe just gutted its real-time storage engine and rebuilt it inRust. Expect faster performance and better scaling. Now runs oncolumnar storage, ships withvectorized queries, and rolls anobject store-backed WAL. Serious firepower for time series data. System shift:Another sign that high-throughp..

Walrusis a lock-free, single-nodeWrite Ahead Log in Rustthat rips through a million ops/sec and moves 1 GB/s of write bandwidth - on bare-metal, nothing fancy. It leans on mmap-backed sparse files, atomic counters, and zero-copy reads to get there. Each topic gets its own line of 10MB memory-mapped ..

OpenAI’sAgent Builderdrops the guardrails. It’s a no-code, drag-and-drop playground for building, testing, and shipping AI workflows - logic flows straight from your brain to the screen. Tweak interfaces inWidget Studio. Plug into real systems with theAgents SDK. Just one catch: it’s locked behind P..

Modal cuts the drama out of deep learning ops. Devs write Python like usual, then fire off training, eval, and serving scripts to serverless GPUs - zero cluster wrangling. It handles data blobs, image builds, and orchestration. You focus on tuning with libraries like Unsloth, or serving via vLLM...

UiPath just droppedAgent Builder in Studio- a legit development environment for AI agents that can actually handle enterprise chaos. Think production-grade: modular builds, traceable steps, and failure handling that doesn’t flake under pressure. It’s wired forschema-driven prompts,tool versioning, a..

Agent-based setups are starting to edge out old-school RAG. As LLMs snag multi-million-token context windows and better task chops, the need for chunking, embeddings, and reranking starts to fade. Claude Code, for example, skips all that - with direct file access and smart navigation instead. Retrie..

New product, Serverless RL, available through collaboration between CoreWeave, Weights & Biases, and OpenPipe. Offers fast training, lower costs, and simple model deployment. Saves time with no infra setup, faster feedback loops, and easier entry into RL training...

The Ansibleservicemodulehandles LinuxandWindows without choking on init system quirks. One playbook can start, stop, enable, or restart anything - no matter the OS. Idempotent, so you don’t have to babysit state. Clean and repeatable. Bonus: it’s great for wrangling fleets. Think: coordinating servi..

When an EC2 instance in an Auto Scaling Group shuts down, event-driven plumbing kicks in. Alifecycle hookcatches the scale-in, fires off an SNS notification, and triggers aLambda. That Lambda calls the GitHub API to yank the self-hosted runner before the instance dies. No dangling runners. No manual..
