The three things today’s hottest startups are looking for in their AI stack

Google Cloud has become the platform of choice for startups building AI.  Our uniquely complete stack — including a choice of first- and third-party compute and models; our platform for building and managing agents; and our products for securing AI workloads — has emerged as the single most important driver of this growth and it […]

AWS CRT for JavaScript and AWS IoT Device SDK for JavaScript v2 align with the Node.js release schedule

The AWS CRT for JavaScript is adopting a policy that aligns with the official Node.js release schedule, providing a predictable timeline for when support for older Node.js versions is dropped. The AWS IoT Device SDK for JavaScript v2 is built on top of AWS CRT for JavaScript, so it shares the same minimum Node.js version.

GKE becomes more elastic: Scale to zero, save costs, and keep workloads responsive

True elasticity has long been the holy grail of cloud-native engineering. And while Kubernetes has revolutionized resource management, workloads that run sporadically (e.g., batch processors, event-driven workers, and development environments) still consume compute resources while they wait for work, driving up costs. We’re addressing this head-on in Google Kubernetes Engine (GKE) 1.37 with a native

Scale your own way, using HPA with built-in support for PromQL metrics queries in GKE

Earlier this year, we announced native support for Google Kubernetes Engine (GKE) custom metrics. This milestone allowed you to scrap external adapters and instead collect autoscaling metrics directly from your pods. By routing these metrics straight to the Horizontal Pod Autoscaler (HPA), we cut metrics reading latency down to 5 seconds. Today, we are excited

Maximizing Apache Spark availability: Mitigating compute stockouts with flexible VMs and other best practices

The surge in AI development has created unprecedented demand for compute capacity around the globe. This can have negative implications for data processing and pipelines with Apache Spark. Whether you are managing your own Spark infrastructure or using a managed service, you can face availability constraints. However, a significant advantage of using Google’s Managed Service

Strengthen your CI/CD pipeline with new Secure Source Manager capabilities

A resilient software supply chain is the foundation of modern delivery, and securing your continuous integration and continuous delivery (CI/CD) pipeline is what keeps innovation moving safely. Notable supply chain attacks more than doubled in the first half of 2026 compared to the second half of 2025, according to Wiz’s recent Cloud Threat Highlights report.
