Learn how to build serverless microservices that react to database events in real time. This AWS tutorial walks through building an event-driven system by connecting Amazon EventBridge, AWS Lambda, and MongoDB Atlas on AWS Marketplace.

You'll learn how to detect database changes, trigger automated workflows, and deploy scalable services without managing infrastructure. Whether you're launching new features or modernizing legacy systems, get step-by-step guidance to move faster while cutting integration overhead.

Read the step-by-step tutorial.

A reliable agent loop depends less on model size than on a trustworthy check that turns progress into a score or pass condition. In two visual tasks, small models improved dramatically when they received repeatable feedback across varied examples and holdout cases, while weak checks encouraged overfitting or shortcuts.

IronBee Express uses Jev as a fast classifier for bounded browser decisions, calling an LLM only for writing, recovery, or failure explanations. Explored runs cost about $0.0042 for 20 actions, recordings can replay with no step decisions, and narrow verification questions helped a 130-run replay test reach 130 correct outcomes.

Chat is useful for rough direction, but it becomes awkward when people need to make precise edits or understand the state of ongoing work. The piece argues for AI interfaces built around direct manipulation, visible state, and reversible experimentation, much like spreadsheets and graphical desktops expanded computing beyond the command line.

Ephemeral testing evaluates a software component by asking an AI agent to build disposable applications or layers on top of it, then judging how well those downstream projects work. Repeating the exercise with different agents and tasks can expose hidden state, unstable invariants, surprising defaults, and weak documentation.

Keyword-based queries don't work for large agreement repositories because contract language is often inconsistent. This guide explains how the Docusign Agreement Manager API and MCP Server use AI to surface relevant insights, and how to choose the right approach for your task.

TanStack Charts 1.0 offers a composable, type-safe charting system built from marks, scales, axes, and interactions instead of rigid chart types. It supports custom marks and renderers, optional SVG or Canvas output, modular animation and scale packages, and a stable API intended to evolve without forcing applications to rebuild their visualizations.

Beam is a sparse Mixture-of-Experts model with 501 billion total parameters and 23 billion active parameters aimed at coding, reasoning, and agentic workloads. Reflection trained it on 23.8 trillion tokens and more than 100 million reinforcement learning rollouts, with Apache 2.0 weights and developer artifacts planned for release later this month.

Booking.com moved a major Node.js rendering service from pm2 clustering to Watt worker threads, cutting compute costs by 38% with 30% fewer pods, 20% less memory per pod, and up to 10% lower tail latency. The migration required no service code changes, and production tests showed 40% to 50% more throughput within the same latency target.

Cheaper software development makes small tools worthwhile even when they solve one person's annoyance and never become a business. As more people can ship, the story behind a project and the choices that shaped it become increasingly important reasons for others to care.

Add AI document creation and editing to your app. Give your agents object-level APIs for DOCX, XLSX and PPTX, and users an embedded editor. Try the playground

CSS anchor positioning, position fallbacks, popovers, and anchor-size() can now handle responsive tooltip and dropdown placement with little or no JavaScript, though component-scoped anchor names and accessible DOM order still matter.

Cloudflare's beta Web Search API lets agents search through Ceramic.ai, Exa, or Linkup via AI Gateway with Zero Data Retention, gateway logging, and provider list pricing without added markup.

A Rust benchmark found that replacing 16,384 per-item RwLock acquisitions with one Crossbeam epoch guard and atomic pointer loads raised read throughput from 15.93k to 229.07k operations per second, while a simple lock still worked well around an infrequently changed collection.

AI agents identified two candidate room-temperature Luttinger-compensated semiconductors for spintronic memory, but one may be difficult to synthesize, and the other still needs direct measurement of its band gap and spin sorting.
