The New Stack

The New Stack focuses on the services and infrastructures created by developers and how these innovations influence our work and daily lives. We explore the impact of the new stack on large companies and emerging startups, the diverse networks of developer communities, the DevOps movement, and the new business models that arise in this evolving landscape. Our platform offers news updates, in-depth analysis, feature articles on the innovative stacks being developed, research data, interviews, and a practical section that examines the technical, business, and community dimensions tied to building this new stack ecosystem.

EU OS: A European Proposal for a Public Sector Linux Desktop

6 days ago | thenewstack.io | Steven Vaughan-Nichols

There have been thousands of Linux distributions, and at my best estimate, there are still over 250 distros being updated and supported. Now, there’s a proposal for one more: EU OS. This proposed desktop Linux distribution is a community-led initiative to create a standardized Linux desktop operating system tailored to European public sector organizations.

6 days ago | thenewstack.io | Joab Jackson

Just in time for spring (if you live in the Northern Hemisphere), the Valkey open source key-value datastore now supports a new data type, Bloom filters. The newly released valkey-bloom module can work on Valkey version 8 and later. (The most recent version of the data store, v8.1, was released last month.)A type of probabilistic search, Bloom filters offer a very efficient way of determining whether or not a given value is a member of a data set.

Back at AWS re:Invent 2024, Amazon Web Services (AWS) and GitLab announced a deep integration between GitLab’s Duo AI assistant and the Amazon Q Developer platform and its agent capabilities. This mashup allows developers on GitLab to access the Q agents for help with code reviews, test generation and more, all without having to switch context by leaving the GitLab platform. After being in preview for the last few months, GitLab Duo with Amazon Q Developer is now generally available.
Math-Phobic Coders, Rejoice: Python Does the Hard Work

1 week ago | thenewstack.io | Jessica Lynne Wachtel

Why math? It’s a great question. I remember the last algebra class I took (definitely not a math person). Every time we learned some complex and seemingly abstract concept, I would ask my professor why we need to learn this and how it’s applicable in the real world. While I’m sure he absolutely loved that, he would Google the real-world application and explain how and why it’s useful.
Why IT Belongs at the Edge

1 week ago | thenewstack.io | Vicki Walker

Traditionally, edge computing has largely been the responsibility of operational technology (OT) teams. But as edge deployments increase in number and size and become essential parts of the technology landscape, IT teams are under growing pressure to help manage infrastructure across remote locations.
AI at the Edge: Federated Learning for Greater Performance

1 week ago | thenewstack.io | Charles Humble

The classical machine learning paradigm requires the aggregation of user data in a central location where data scientists can pre-process it, calculate features, tune models and evaluate performance. The advantages of this approach include being able to leverage high-performance hardware (such as GPUs), and the scope for a data science team to perform in-depth data analysis to improve model performance.

Kelsey Hightower took the stage last month in Pasadena, California, for the 22nd annual Southern California Linux Expo. His talk was on a new subject for the Kubernetes expert: Docker alternative Nix.
JFrog Sounds Alarm on Crypto-Stealing Python Package

1 week ago | thenewstack.io | Chris Preimesberger

JFrog’s security team is advising its customers and the public to be aware of a recent supply chain attack involving a malicious Python package named “ccxd python m-exe – futures” that mimics the popular “ccxt” cryptocurrency exchange trading package and can cause widespread damage. The ccxt library is a collection of available crypto exchanges or exchange classes. Each class implements the public and private API for a particular crypto exchange.
