Enterprise GraphRAG: patterns after a year of adoption

A year after GraphRAG left the lab, one statistic holds: it works where corporate information has dense relational structure, fails where there are only loose documents. Patterns, ingestion costs, and architectural decisions that have survived a year of real deployment.

AI tools for developers: the 2026 stack

The AI tool stack a developer uses in 2026 looks nothing like it did eighteen months ago. Agentic editors, review tools, terminal agents, and test assistants have settled into recognizable roles. A practical guide by category.

Consolidated MCP ecosystem: a quick map for 2026

Twenty months after the initial announcement, Model Context Protocol went from curiosity to de-facto standard among agent clients and servers. What is available, which servers are worth it, which problems remain open, and how it compares to earlier protocol maps.

XR, AR and VR in 2026: the honest state after the cycle

After the 2023-2024 hype cycle led by Apple Vision Pro, the 2025 valley of disillusionment, and the quiet but real consolidation of Meta Quest 3S and the WebXR stack, it is time to assess honestly where extended reality stands. What works, what has died, what is still alive.

WASI preview 3: adoption and real cases

WASI preview 3 llegó como estándar estable a finales de 2025 y ha tenido unos meses para demostrar si realmente desbloquea los casos que preview 2 se quedaba cortos. Recorrido honesto por adopciones reales, bibliotecas maduras y patrones que empiezan a funcionar en producción.

UX for agents: first design consensus

After two years watching every product invent its own interface for talking to an agent, by January 2026 a stable design consensus is emerging about which patterns work, which do not, and what the average user already expects. Time to write down what has settled.

Kubernetes 1.35: what you can already see coming

Con 1.34 liberado en agosto de 2025 y el ciclo de 1.35 en su última fase de congelación de funciones, qué llegará estable, qué quedará en beta, qué nos interesa a quienes mantenemos clústeres pequeños o medianos y qué podemos ignorar sin culpa hasta el siguiente ciclo.

Architecture

containerd with Wasm: mixed workloads in production

La integración de WebAssembly dentro de containerd como tiempo de ejecución alternativo ha madurado. Ya es posible desplegar cargas mixtas Linux y Wasm en el mismo clúster de Kubernetes con argumentos operativos sólidos. Cuándo compensa y cuándo no.

User Experience

European Accessibility Act: the first year in practice

La obligación del EAA entró en vigor el 28 de junio de 2025. Seis meses después tenemos ya primeros expedientes sancionadores, criterios de enforcement y lecciones operativas para equipos que aún corren detrás del calendario. Lo que sí se audita y lo que todavía no.

Architecture

gVisor: sandboxing for multi-tenant containers

gVisor interpone un kernel en espacio de usuario entre el contenedor y el anfitrión. Después de años en producción en Google y adopción creciente en plataformas serverless, merece una lectura honesta sobre cuándo compensa frente a microVMs y runtimes clásicos.

Architecture

LLM caches: saving tokens without dropping quality

A caching proxy in front of a language model can cut the token bill significantly, but it introduces subtle risks if the design is not careful. Which cache types work in production, where the usual traps sit, and how to add them without degrading the experience.

User Experience

Accessibility overlays: the 2025 criticisms explained

Accessibility overlays were sold as a magic fix for WCAG and the European EAA directive in one step. In 2025 lawsuits against them have grown and disabled users are speaking out more critically than ever. A look at why they fail and what to do instead.

Model Context Protocol in 2025: from announcement to ecosystem

Model Context Protocol turns ten months old since Anthropic's announcement, and it is no longer just a proposal: hundreds of servers, cross-vendor implementations and a public registry now back it. A look at what has worked, what is still weak, and why 2025 marks the shift from curiosity to basic infrastructure.

Astro 5: when content and applications converge

Astro 5 has spent nine months in production and has settled into a place of its own in the JavaScript world. Its bet on typed content and friction-free mixed rendering puts it halfway between Next.js and the static-site generators. A time-tested assessment.

Architecture

YugabyteDB and CockroachDB: distributed databases in 2025

Distributed SQL databases have moved from promise to production reality. YugabyteDB and CockroachDB lead the segment from different angles. Choosing between them demands understanding what each design compromises and what horizontal scaling costs in practice.

Architecture

Kafka without ZooKeeper: KRaft in production

Kafka 4.0 llegó en marzo con la promesa cumplida: el clúster se autoadministra sin ZooKeeper. Después de meses operando clústeres KRaft y de la migración obligada, qué cambia de verdad, dónde duelen las diferencias y qué hay que saber antes de migrar.

Qwik in production: resumable and cheap on the client

Qwik has spent two years promising apps that start instantly because, instead of hydrating, they resume execution serialized on the server. With the 1.x series settled and real cases published, this guide checks whether resumability is worth the learning curve and which products benefit most from that client-side JavaScript saving.

Delta Lake and Apache Iceberg: 2025 comparison

Open table formats over data lakes have moved from curiosity to backbone of many analytics architectures. Delta Lake 4.0 and Apache Iceberg 1.9 are the two with the most weight in 2025. We review where each one stands and which criteria make sense when choosing between them.
