This year marked a turning point for enterprise tech as spending recovered and the economy stabilized following years of rising interest rates and supply-chain disruption. While no one knows what lies ahead, here are five things we thought summed up a pivotal year.
Today: A look back at some of the most notable developments from the past year and the last Runtime Roundup of 2024.
Today: Salesforce continues its agentic AI push, Databricks secures one of the biggest funding rounds in tech history, and the rest of this week's enterprise funding.

A generation of cloud architects, developers, and systems engineers has stayed loyal to AWS over nearly two decades in part because of its reputation for supporting anything it launched that was used by a customer to build their infrastructure. That commitment appears to be changing.

Today: Lost in last months' discussions of open data formats was Hudi, but its tech will enable true format compatibility, Stack Overflow's annual developer survey, and the latest moves in enterprise tech.

Today: How AT&T might have limited the damage from a devastating breach, Google goes shopping for security talent, and the latest funding rounds in enterprise tech.
