Much of modern application development depends on APIs. In the past we may have built massive monolithic applications, but modern cloud-native development depends on collections of microservices, linked by APIs that offer everything from remote procedure calls to database operations. This approach makes applications easier to run, allowing them to scale with user demand. It

At Open Source Summit Europe in August, the Linux Foundation announced that DocumentDB—a MongoDB-compatible document database built on PostgreSQL—had joined the foundation as a new open source project. This new project, first announced by Microsoft in early 2025, is designed to support developers in deploying databases with their applications quickly and make querying data easier.

Three years ago, OpenAI jumpstarted the generative AI revolution when it released ChatGPT, and the world hasn’t been the same since. Hundreds of billions of dollars have been invested in AI, OpenAI founder and CEO Sam Altman became the face of AI, and billion-dollar AI companies seem to be minted at will. As an early

Reading between the lines of recent Counterpoint data, it looks likely that six of the top 10 smartphones sold worldwide next summer will be iPhones. That’s because by mid-summer, the company is expected to introduce its first ever folding iPhone — along with an improved version of the highly affordable and popular e-series iPhone.

It appears Meta has opted to go in a whole new direction in response to this week’s formation by The Linux Foundation of a group called the Agentic AI Foundation (AAIF), designed to help enterprises develop and manage AI agents through a “shared ecosystem of tools, standards and community-driven innovation.” The group is made up

Many companies are still working out how to use AI in a steady and practical way, but a small group is already pulling ahead. New research from NTT DATA outlines a playbook that shows how these “AI leaders” set themselves apart through strong plans, firm decisions, and a disciplined approach to building and using AI

New adoption data from Perplexity reveals how AI agents are driving workflow efficiency gains by taking over complex enterprise tasks. For the past year, the technology sector has operated under the assumption that the next evolution of generative AI would advance beyond conversation into action. While Large Language Models (LLMs) serve as a reasoning engine,

Anyone who uses AI systems knows the frustration: a prompt is given, the response misses the mark, and the cycle repeats. This trial-and-error loop can feel unpredictable and discouraging. To address this, we are excited to introduce Promptions (prompt + options), a UI framework that helps developers build AI interfaces with more precise user control.
