IBM has made a strategic move to acquire DataStax, a leader in database and related services, to enhance the capabilities of its generative AI platform, watsonx. The acquisition, details of which remain undisclosed, is aimed at accelerating IBM’s generative AI initiatives, particularly by unlocking value from vast amounts of unstructured data. This move aligns with IBM’s ongoing efforts to build out its open-source AI portfolio, which already includes its Granite foundation models and Instruct Lab, a new initiative focused on advancing open-source large language model (LLM) innovation. DataStax, known for its Apache Cassandra-powered AstraDB NoSQL database-as-a-service and other offerings, brings…

Google has officially launched a free version of its Gemini Code Assist tool, aimed at empowering individual developers to enhance their coding productivity.

Powered by the advanced Gemini 2.0 model, this tool promises to assist developers with code completion, code generation, and even code-related chat, making it easier for users to generate high-quality code quickly. Industry analysts have praised the free version of Gemini Code Assist for its potential to foster learning and experimentation among developers. Ritu Jyoti, the general manager of…

With major tech giants like Microsoft, Amazon, and GitHub already offering AI-powered coding assistants such as GitHub Copilot and Amazon Q Developer, it was only a matter of time before Google made its move. Enter Gemini Code Assist, a tool designed to enhance coding productivity by providing real-time code completions, generating entire functions or code blocks based on comments, and offering support for debugging, understanding, and documenting your code. As with its competitors, Gemini Code Assist integrates seamlessly into popular IDEs like Visual Studio Code and JetBrains, helping developers code faster and more efficiently. One of the standout features of…

A recent IDC report has revealed an interesting trend: developers are spending more time on operational and background tasks than on actual coding. The findings, detailed in the report titled How Do Software Developers Spend Their Time?, indicate that only 16% of developers’ time in 2024 is spent on application development, a slight increase from 15% the previous year. This suggests that while coding remains a core activity for developers, other critical tasks are taking up a significant portion of their time. These include operational duties such as application performance monitoring, infrastructure management, and security, among others. The report, authored…

Machine learning is rapidly transforming industries, with its applications spreading across a variety of sectors, from healthcare to finance. According to Fortune Business Insights, the global machine learning market is projected to grow from $26.03 billion in 2023 to $225.91 billion by 2030. This growth is fueled by diverse use cases, such as personalized product recommendations, image recognition, fraud detection, language translation, and medical diagnostics. Despite its vast potential, the adoption of machine learning comes with its own set of challenges and risks that can prevent projects from achieving their intended goals. Machine learning, as a subset of artificial intelligence,…

We are witnessing a peculiar moment in software development, one where AI-powered coding assistants have disrupted what was once a stable market for integrated development environments (IDEs). As RedMonk cofounder James Governor points out, we now find ourselves in an environment filled with unexpected turbulence, where “everything is in play” and “so much innovation is happening.” However, this wave of innovation may be having unintended consequences. While AI coding assistants like GitHub Copilot and ChatGPT have undoubtedly boosted productivity, they have also introduced certain limitations, particularly in how they interact with the technologies they recommend. As AWS developer advocate Nathan…

Amazon’s recent decision to discontinue its Chime collaboration app in favor of focusing on the more successful Chime software development kit (SDK) highlights the company’s strategic focus on its strengths. The company has always been known for its ability to pivot when necessary, recognizing when a product isn’t living up to expectations and choosing to double down on what works. In this case, while the Chime app was once seen as a promising tool for communication and collaboration, it became clear over time that its capabilities couldn’t keep up with rivals in a rapidly changing market. When Amazon launched Chime…

As developers rapidly integrate generative AI (GenAI) tools into their daily workflows, they are experiencing both notable benefits and new challenges. GenAI promises enhanced productivity and can help ease cognitive burdens by automating tasks such as code generation, debugging, and even testing. However, it’s not all smooth sailing. As these tools evolve, developers are often learning to work with new technologies that are still in the process of being refined. This dynamic environment requires developers to stay on their toes, keeping up with constant updates and changes to the tools that are supposed to enhance their work. For developers looking…

Deno Land has unveiled the highly anticipated Deno 2.2, the latest version of its runtime environment for JavaScript and TypeScript. This new release introduces built-in OpenTelemetry support, which provides developers with powerful tools for monitoring logs, metrics, and traces directly within their Deno applications. OpenTelemetry integration automatically instruments key APIs like console.log, Deno.serve, and fetch, enabling seamless observability for developers. To further enhance observability, users can also instrument their own code using npm:@opentelemetry/api. For testing and development environments, Deno Land recommends using Grafana’s LGTM Docker image, which simplifies the process of capturing observability data by providing an OpenTelemetry protocol (OTLP)…
