AI-powered event-driven Amazon EKS AMI updates with GitOps
This post demonstrates an automated solution that combines AI-powered risk analysis with GitOps principles to streamline Amazon EKS AMI updates while maintaining appropriate human oversight through familiar GitHub workflows.
Updates to available models in Copilot on web
We have updated our available model selection for Copilot Chat on the web to deliver more consistent, high-quality responses. What’s changed While model choice is valuable, we are limiting the… The post Updates to available models in Copilot on web appeared first on The GitHub Blog.
Build real-time voice applications with Amazon SageMaker AI and vLLM
Voice agents, live captioning, contact center analytics, and accessibility tools all depend on real-time speech-to-text, where your application streams audio in and receives transcription back simultaneously over a single persistent connection. Traditional request-response inference falls short here because transcription cannot begin until the entire audio recording has been received, adding latency that breaks the real-time […]
Microsoft Open-Sources RAMPART and Clarity to Secure AI Agents During Development
Microsoft has unveiled two new open-source tools called RAMPART and Clarity to assist developers in better testing the security of artificial intelligence (AI) agents. RAMPART, short for Risk Assessment and Measurement Platform for Agentic Red Teaming, functions as a Pytest-native safety and security testing framework for writing and running safety and security tests for AI agents, covering
Encrypting large artifacts and streaming workloads with Vault
HashiCorp Vault’s Transit secrets engine provides encryption-as-a-service, allowing applications to encrypt and decrypt sensitive data without managing cryptographic keys directly. In this model, applications send data to Vault Transit for encryption and make a similar API call to decrypt the ciphertext. Vault manages the underlying keys while enforcing authentication and authorization policies that determine which clients can encrypt and decrypt data. This approach works well for many applicat
Stop Writing Dialect-Specific SQL: A Unified Query Builder for Node.js
The Problem Most Backend Developers Face You're building a SaaS application that needs to support multiple databases. Or maybe you're migrating from MySQL to PostgreSQL. Or you have different clients using different database engines. Whatever the reason, you've likely encountered this nightmare:
Introducing ExtendDB: An open source DynamoDB-compatible adapter with pluggable storage backends
Today, we are announcing ExtendDB, an open source Amazon DynamoDB-compatible adapter with pluggable storage backends, released under the Apache 2.0 License. ExtendDB implements the DynamoDB wire protocol and ships with PostgreSQL as its first backend, so any AWS SDK, CLI, or tool that works with DynamoDB works with ExtendDB unchanged. In this post, we introduce ExtendDB, walk through getting started, and explain the architecture. This is a v0.1 release for development, testing, and experimentati
