Hi, Spring fans! What if the JVM could feel as frictionless as the modern dev tools people rave about on other platforms? In this wide-ranging, high-energy conversation, you’ll hear two longtime friends (Andres Almiray is a fellow Java champion and a legend) geek out over the future of desktop Java, the pain of Electron, the elegance of JavaFX, and the tools making it all easier to ship. The discussion dives into a brand-new favorite workflow for managing environments and dependencies, then...

Vercel Agent can install private dependencies from npm and custom registries using credentials stored as shared environment variables on Vercel. npm, pnpm, and classic Yarn running in Agent sessions authenticate as they do in Vercel builds. To get started, add a shared environment variable for Development or Preview: Use NPM_TOKEN for private packages hosted on registry.npmjs.org. Use NPM_RC to configure custom or multiple registries.

I visited the Museum of the City of New York today and got to see He Built This City: Joe Macken’s Model, the 50 x27 feet model of the city built over a 21 year period from balsa wood and cardboard.

CDN Requests is now the name for the usage metric previously called Edge Requests. This is a naming change only: pricing, limits, and how usage is measured are all unchanged. The new name appears on the usage dashboard, the Observability Events chart, usage notifications, and invoice line items. It reflects that these are requests served by Vercel's CDN. Metric IDs and product aliases are unchanged, so saved queries keep working. In the billing charges API, ServiceName now returns the new...

Rerank 3 and Rerank 3 Lite from Voyage AI by MongoDB are now available on AI Gateway. The models reorder search results by relevance before passing documents to a language model. The series improves retrieval quality across domains, with the largest gains on long documents and code. Rerank 3 focuses on accuracy, while Rerank 3 Lite is optimized for latency and cost. Both handle up to 32K tokens per query-document pair and follow instructions in the query to guide ranking. To use Rerank 3...
