Infrastructure as Code (IaC) and DevOps have come together to completely reshape the cloud landscape over the last few years. For the uninitiated, IaC is a fundamental DevOps practice – a core component of continuous delivery. It lets DevOps teams use descriptive versioning to define and deploy topologies, networks, VMs, and servers within cloud environments. These form the supporting infrastructure that enable developers to deliver rapidly scalable applications using a unified set of tools and best practices. Just like a piece of code delivers the same output every time it is run, an IaC mode...

Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg is putting his weight behind “open-source” artificial intelligence — calling it a “path forward” for the industry amid the release of his company’s latest Llama AI model. On July 23, Mark Zuckerberg said the firm was “taking the next steps toward open-source AI becoming the industry standard” with the release of Llama 3.1, which he described as the first “frontier-level open-source AI model.” Zuckerberg drew a parallel between the evolution of open-source software Linux from the initially closed-source Unix and the potential future of AI — suggesting that open-source A...

To developers, OSSTest is an essential automated testing and quality checking system for anyone submitting code to the Xen Project’s open-source hypervisor. But all software runs somewhere. In the Xen Project’s case it’s virtual server infrastructure inside in a featureless colocation datacenter just outside Boston. Unfortunately — extraordinarily even — it seems that this facility can no longer be used because of a “sudden shutdown” as an announcement on the Xen Project website this week explained it. “We received a notification from our colo facility provider Synoptek indicating the shutdown...

By Serdar Yegulalp Developed by Facebook and released as an open standard for all to use, GraphQL is intended as an alternative to REST APIs. Like REST, GraphQL provides a way to create and consume web-based APIs, but queries and returned data use formal schemas and a type system to guarantee consistency. In this article, we’ll walk through the basics of designing and implementing a GraphQL API and discuss many of the key considerations and decisions you’ll make during the process. GraphQL languages and frameworksIf you’re planning to use GraphQL as your web application API, there is a very go...

Manifesto is “more than a declaration of our current contributions; it’s a promise to continue driving open innovation and collaboration at a significant scale,” says SAP CTO. It arrives alongside the announcement of SAP’s Open Reference Architecture project as part of the EU’s IPCEI-CIS initiative. It’s an open secret that even proprietary software contains open source components these days, and major vendors are, to varying extents, supporting or participating in open source projects. However, all such contributions are not created equal. Software giant SAP, a longtime contributor to open so...

By Matt Asay There isn’t nearly enough money in open source today. We can complain about venture capitalists distorting open source licensing, wring our hands about sustainability, and fret over how much foundation execs like Mozilla’s make, but the real issue isn’t that we have too much money sloshing around GitHub repositories. It’s that there isn’t more. Much, much more. Think about it for a second. How much does the world depend on open source today? Now make that more personal: How much do you or your employer depend on open source? According to the 2024 Open Source Security and Risk Anal...

By Anirban Ghoshal Just days after rival data lakehouse provider Snowflake said that it would open up the source code to its Polaris Catalog, Databricks is open sourcing its Unity Catalog offering. Databricks’ Unity Catalog, which was made generally available in June 2022 and later updated with Okera’s capabilities, used to be a closed-sourced unified governance offering that provided centralized access control, auditing, lineage, and data discovery capabilities across Databricks workspaces. When Snowflake released Polaris Catalog at its annual conference earlier this month, it said it would o...

By Scott McCarty The term “inflection point” is overused, but it certainly applies to the current state of artificial intelligence. Technology providers—and the companies that depend on them—can choose one of two roads to AI development: proprietary or open source. This dichotomy has existed for decades, with both sides achieving great levels of success. However, I would argue that the stakes for AI are higher than we’ve ever seen, and that the open source model is critical for the productive, economically feasible, and safe productization and consumption of AI. And, in terms of open source, t...

By Matt Asay Everyone is doing AI, but no one knows why. That’s an overstatement, of course, but it feels like the market has hit peak hype without peak productivity. As Monte Carlo CEO Barr Moses highlights from a recent Wakefield survey, 91% of data leaders are building AI applications, but two-thirds of that same group said they don’t trust their data to large language models (LLMs). In other words, they’re building AI on sand. To be successful, we need to move beyond the confusing hype and help enterprises make sense of AI. In other words, we need more trust (open models) and fewer moving ...

By Anirban Ghoshal Databricks has agreed to acquire Tabular, the storage platform vendor led by the creators of Apache Iceberg, in order to promote data interoperability in lakehouses. Tabular founders Ryan Blue and Daniel Weeks started developing Iceberg at Netflix in 2017 and donated it to the Apache Software Foundation in 2018, around the same time that Databricks was developing Delta Lake, an open-source table format for data that can be used for ACID transactions or OLTP processing. In contrast, Apache Iceberg is mostly used for OLAP queries as it has challenges around concurrency writes....
