Engineering teams often build microservices as their systems grow, but over time this can lead to a fragmented ecosystem with scattered data access patterns, duplicated business logic, and an uneven developer experience. A unified data graph with a consistent execution layer helps address these challenges by centralizing schema, simplifying how teams compose functionality, and reducing operational overhead while preserving performance and reliability. Viaduct is Airbnb’s open-source, data-oriented service mesh and GraphQL platform built around a single, highly connected central schema. It has played a major role in scaling Airbnb’s engineering organization. Adam Miskiewicz is a Principal Software Engineer at Airbnb…

I had low expectations for the rather generic Comulytic Note Pro, but it surprised me as not only the most useful all-around notetaker on available but also the cheapest after you consider the cost of a premium subscription.The slim device, at 28 grams, is small enough to fit in a wallet or attach unobtrusively with the included magnetic ring to the back of your handset (note: it requires a special USB dongle to charge). The 64 GB of storage space and a 45-hour battery life aren’t massive, but both should be more than enough to handle a full week of…

However, those who use third-party services or have built in-house email integrations that rely on EWS will have to migrate, he noted, adding, “you could experience some disruption.” This is a good reminder that cloud services are managed at scale for the benefit of the provider, Roberts said, and this is part of Microsoft’s push to eliminate technical debt. “In this case, eight years is a long time,” he said. “Sysadmins should pay attention, understand where vendors are going, and mitigate with proactive updates.” Microsoft’s plan is to disable EWS tenant-by-tenant using the EWSEnabled property, a setting in Exchange Online…

The rivalry between Anthropic and OpenAI has intensified, from competing Super Bowl ads to launching new coding models on the same day. Anthropic’s Claude Opus 4.6 and OpenAI’s Codex 5.3 are now live. Both show strong benchmarks, but which one truly stands out? I’ll put them to the test and compare their performance on the same task. Let’s see which one comes out on top. OpenAI Codex 5.3 vs Claude Opus 4.6: Benchmarks Claude 4.6 Opus scores for SWE-Bench and Cybersecurity are described as “industry-leading” or “top of the chart” in their release notes, with specific high-tier performance indicated in…

Alphabet’s expanding AI cloud infrastructure push shows how demand is putting real pressure on the systems that power enterprise computing. Hyperscale providers are responding by sharply increasing spending on compute capacity, but supply remains tight as AI workloads grow faster than data centre buildouts.Alphabet’s latest earnings call offered a clear window into that tension. The company said capital expenditure could reach between US$175 billion and US$185 billion this year, almost double last year’s total. Much of that investment is tied to servers, data centres, and networking equipment meant to support AI workloads and cloud services.The broader pattern is not unique…

Today we’re excited to announce OSS Rebuild, a new project to strengthen trust in open source package ecosystems by reproducing upstream artifacts. As supply chain attacks continue to target widely-used dependencies, OSS Rebuild gives security teams powerful data to avoid compromise without burden on upstream maintainers.The project comprises:Automation to derive declarative build definitions for existing PyPI (Python), npm (JS/TS), and Crates.io (Rust) packages.SLSA Provenance for thousands of packages across our supported ecosystems, meeting SLSA Build Level 3 requirements with no publisher intervention.Build observability and verification tools that security teams can integrate into their existing vulnerability management workflows.Infrastructure definitions to allow…

A policy paper published on 3 February sets out how the government plans to minimise the risks presented by PFAS in the environment – the UK’s first cross-government strategy. Some experts welcomed its potential to act as a platform for stronger regulation, although critics noted the absence of clear timelines and enforceable limits, with appraisals varying from “incredibly weak” to “crushingly disappointing”1 The UK PFAS Plan promises an approach “rooted in science and collaboration”,2 but seems to plot a distinctly different direction of travel compared to the EU, where the most stringent regulation is taking shape, by all accounts. So…

In June 2025 during WWDC Apple revealed a big shift to the look and feel of its user interface for its devices. Instead of sticking with the minimalist design it had relied on since iOS 7, Apple revealed it had been working on a new design langauge called Liquid Glass. A brand new way to design Apps across the entire Apple ecosystem. As the name suggests, this new design language encompasses ideas and concepts from the way glass works, using reflections and refractions to create layered applications. With Liquid Glass now regularly available on devices, most apps need to consider…

Operational leaders face immediate pressure to scale connectivity pilots into global production while managing data transmission costs.The second day of the IoT Tech Expo Global and Edge Computing Expo focused more on the engineering realities of these networks. Sessions moved past general digital transformation discussions to address specific protocols, hardware constraints, and the logistics of managing huge device fleets.The evolution of fleet connectivityManaging global SIM profiles remains a primary friction point for logistics directors. Julian Skeels from Expereo addressed this in a session on future-proofing global IoT fleets.Skeels detailed how factory-provisioned connectivity, specifically through the SGP.32 standard, changes the way…
