A Cloud-Native, Open-Source Stack For Accelerating Foundation Model Innovation

Foundation models, and generative AI, have captivated our collective imagination and enabled the discovery of new ways to improve the way we live and work. From more seamless interactions with technology via natural language, to automatic generation of code or other data, to use cases across various domains of science, applications of foundation models are growing by the day. At IBM, our goal is both to infuse this technology across our product portfolio and to help our customers adopt foundation models into their own offerings quickly, efficiently, and safely. As part of this journey, we shared our perspective on why we built…

7 Ways To Turn Developer Experience Into A Competitive Edge

At a time when rapid innovation has become a strategic business imperative, application development and developer experience are more important than ever. Why has developer experience (DevX) become so essential to business success? First, in today’s dynamic business environment, meeting customers’ shifting demands and accelerating time to market is vital to growth. Organizations need developers to spend time delivering business value and shipping software quickly. Second, development is expensive. When developers have to stitch together services and components, they aren’t shipping software, which directly impacts (and increases) your business costs. In fact, a McKinsey study found that companies with a higher developer velocity…

Chronosphere And Google Cloud Partner For Cloud-Native Observability

As digital transformation continues apace, cloud native adoption has skyrocketed — and so has the volume, velocity, and variety of data that organizations must monitor to maintain visibility over their IT environments. Rather than a fixed number of virtual machines (VMs) running a single application each, systems are more flexible and ephemeral — with thousands of containers and microservices emitting data — and services and systems have greater interdependencies. All of this has led to an explosion in complexity that makes it nearly impossible to reliably and efficiently operate cloud-native services using traditional observability solutions without dramatically increasing overhead. Built…

7 Core Components Of An Internal Developer Platform

The world of software development is constantly and rapidly changing. New technologies emerge every day to solve problems that slow down the daily work of IT departments. So while innovation is a positive factor in that it helps simplify work, there is also a proliferation of new tools and services that need to be managed by developers, thus increasing the cognitive load needed to develop and release software. Internal Developer Platforms (IDPs) aim to solve this problem and simplify the use of tools and services by providing a single point of access and interaction. Those familiar with the topic of Platform Engineering will have…

How To Use Weave GitOps As Your Flux UI

Here comes the newest blog post in our ecosystem category. One of the key reasons to rewrite Flux was to break up the former monolith solution into separate controllers which provide distinct parts of the functionality. This allows users to pick just the parts they need, and integrators to very easily build on top of Flux’s APIs. Today we have a very active Flux Ecosystem – we very much welcome this to happen and see it as an indicator of success. An introduction to Weave GitOps Today we would like to talk about Weave GitOps. It has been built out in the open for…
