The popular Ingress NGINX controller for Kubernetes will no longer get security support, so users have a month to figure out a plan. Meanwhile, stunning news from Salesforce, which will no longer develop new features for Heroku, the pioneering platform-as-a-service product it acquired 15 years ago.
Okay well the OpenAI CMO is hopping on now and it is obvious that Anthropic hurt them and they were deeply unprepared
Sooner or later most open-source orgs are going to need to figure this out.

As AI coding assistants become mainstream, open-source projects are facing a new challenge. Two prominent projects β curl and LLVM β recently said they've seen enough poor-quality AI-generated submissions that they need to put new limits on how they deal with that code.
As companies without modern data management systems in place rushed to adopt cloud data warehouses and data lakes, Databricks and Snowflake have reaped rewards. But new challengers always emerge during a platform shift. One of those is ClickHouse, which just raised $400 million in new funding.
As we reflected on the biggest stories of 2025, one throughline emerged. They all illustrate how enterprises grappled with a central problem: how to get the generative AI tools and agents that promise a new era of business productivity to actually work.

From last night's Runtime newsletter: A look at the hardware-related announcements from AWS CEO Matt Garman's keynote.
New on Runtime: an interview with Microsoft's Jay Parikh on how building software has changed so much in just a few years. While the broader merits of the generative AI revolution are still up for debate, there's no question that the software-development process will never be the same.
New on @runtime.news: We get a little meta.

New on @runtime.news: A series of incidents in August and early September only highlighted what startups and application developers had been talking about for months: AI reliability falls short of what most businesses expect from their cloud providers, even after last week's massive AWS outage.
New on @runtime.news: The latest in our How We Built It series, this time featuring Mastercard's George Maddaloni. We talked about how Mastercard onboarded generative AI tools across its employees and its current approach to AI agents, where MCP is spurring a lot of internal agent building.
Did anybody else catch Jensen on a hot mic as the press conference started raving about the 1912 cognac he was presumably served in the U.K. this week?
New on @runtime.news: Generative AI apps are forcing app developers to rethink the way users interact with their apps. There have always been apps and workflows that can be controlled with voice commands, but genAI apps open up new opportunities to move beyond the taskbar or the hamburger menu.
From last night's @runtime.news newsletter: GitHub's independence within the Microsoft ecosystem was treasured by company executives in the years following in 2018 acquisition. But that era is over, and GitHub is now just another Microsoft product.
OpenAI is living up to its name again. It hadn't shipped any major LLMs that could claim a degree of openness since 2019's GPT-2. But that just changed with the release of two new open-weight models the company says are as powerful as some of its leading closed models.
It's been a choppy few months for Windsurf. First, news leaked that OpenAI intended to acquire the company for $3 billion. Then Google came along with a billion-dollar acquihire, agreeing to pay $2.4 billion for a non-exclusive license to Windsurf's technology and hire about 40 of its employees.

In this one-on-one interview, Amazon CSO Steve Schmidt tells us about:
*Increasing nation-state attacks on tech companies
*How generative AI is β and isn't β changing cybersecurity, on both the offensive and defensive sides
*How Amazon works to prevent unforced errors in code
New on @runtime.news: Amazon chief security officer Stephen Schmidt talks about the rise in cybersecurity threats from nation-state attackers, why generative AI is better at defense than offense, and the security pros and cons of the rush to develop software with AI tools.
New on @runtime.news: Snowflske CEO Sridhar Ramaswamy increasingly sees data ingestion, analysis, and production as part of a βworkflow,β meaning the steps should be easy to follow and more accessible to a wider group of people. Live (kinda) from Snowflake Summit β25:
New on @runtime.news : Last year at the Databricks Data & AI Summit CEO Ali Ghodsi pledged to develop a "USB-C format" for data. The industry has made progress toward that goal, but the last mile is tricky, and new tools could let end users worry about other problems.

New on @runtime.news: An interview with Karri Saarinen, co-founder and CEO of Linear. We've been hearing a lot of buzz about Linear over the last couple of years, in part because "we have this fairly simple idea that engineering is really the front line of all this information," he said.
New on @runtime.news: A conversation with ServiceNow CEO Bill McDermott on the sidelines of Knowledge 2025. Highlights include: the impact that AI agents could have on the enterprise, and the ongoing shift where IT departments are taking back control of their application footprints.
