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.
DevOps walked so platform engineering could run, but building a standardized organizational approach to software development can cause as many problems as it aims to solve if the platform's foundation is shaky. Here's how eight experts think companies should approach platform engineering.
Today: Security researchers outline the latest threats and fixes in cloud and enterprise security, Microsoft lost some cloud market share last quarter, and the latest moves in enterprise tech.
A software update with one more variable than expected crashed 8.5 million Windows computers. Should Windows security vendors continue to have access to the kernel?
Today: CrowdStrike releases its root-cause analysis on last month's software update debacle, how a delay for Nvidia's next-generation chip will impact enterprise AI, and the latest funding rounds in enterprise tech.
Today: AWS is beating revenue estimates again as it signals a new product strategy, how Microsoft's response to a DDoS attack on Azure made things worse, and the latest enterprise moves.
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: how a narrow miss on cloud growth raises questions about Microsoft's AI spending, why Nvidia wants AI-curious businesses to use its new managed deployment services, and the latest funding rounds in enterprise tech.
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.
Now that open data formats are here to stay, unifying them to remove incompatibilities will be a challenge. Delta Lake and Iceberg get all the attention, but tech developed by the creators of Hudi could make it happen.
Today: why security software customers should hold their vendors to a higher standard, the Wiz kids turn down Google, and the latest funding rounds in enterprise tech.
The shared-responsibility model is groaning under the weight of the modern security environment. Snowflake's ongoing nightmare should be a wake-up call for any infrastructure or SaaS provider that they need to do more to protect their customers, because the old model is no longer working.
Today: why the decades-old bargain that governed cloud security is showing its age, OpenAI thinks smaller is better, and the latest moves in enterprise tech.
