Recent trends make it clear that the one-cloud-fits-all approach is losing momentum.

Three big cloud vendors announced earnings recently, with each accelerating their growth thanks to AI. Nvidia, for its part, became the first company to top $5 trillion in market cap, also thanks to AI. While there’s almost certainly some “irrational exuberance” baked into AI adoption, spurred by FOMO across global…

When tech giants like Netflix and Intuit adopted the data mesh architecture, it looked like the next big thing. A few short years later, disillusionment has set in, with companies turning their backs on data mesh and industry experts writing it off as a fad or declaring it dead. Amidst…

Telecom networks are becoming more than just infrastructure, with network API exposure turning them into smart, programmable platforms. Developers from many fields, not just telecom, are now beginning to use these network capabilities, such as locating devices, detecting SIM swaps, running KYC (know your customer) matches, and requesting high-priority network…

Just as a proposal to return JavaFX to the Java Development Kit has drawn interest in the OpenJDK community, Oracle too says it wants to make the Java-based rich client application more approachable within the JDK. JavaFX was removed from the JDK with Java 11 more than seven years ago….

OpenAI has unveiled Aardvark, a GPT-5-powered autonomous agent designed to act like a human security researcher capable of scanning, understanding, and patching code with the reasoning skills of a professional vulnerability analyst.
