From vibe coding to vibe deployment: Closing the prototype-to-production gap

In February 2025, Andrej Karpathy coined the term “vibe coding” with a tweet that instantly resonated across the developer community. The idea was simple yet powerful: instead of writing code line-by-line, you describe what you want in natural language, and an AI model scaffolds the entire solution. No formal specs, no boilerplate grind, just vibes. Vibe coding quickly gained traction because it removed the friction from starting a project. In minutes, developers could go from a vague product idea to a working prototype. It wasn’t just about speed, it was about fluid creativity . Teams could explore ideas without committing weeks of engineering time. The viral demo, like the one Satya Nadella did and various experiments, reinforced the feeling that AI-assisted development wasn’t just a curiosity; it was a glimpse into the future of software creation. But even in those early days, there was an unspoken reality: while AI could “vibe” out an MVP, the leap from prototype to production...

LaunchDarkly Accelerates Journey to Self-Healing Software with Feature-Level Observability That Reduces Developer Friction and Accelerates Triage

LaunchDarkly , the comprehensive feature management platform, today unveiled key new AI capabilities and integrations that let developers ship software at even higher velocity while keeping risks at bay. These updates further the company’s vision for Self-Healing Software that allows engineers to focus on delivering amazing user experiences instead of anxiously awaiting late-night calls to fix bugs and outages. Pressure has been mounting on developers to ship code faster and faster as organizations have moved from yearly to seasonal to agile deployments. And now, the rise of AI-assisted ‘vibe coding’ is accelerating that pace even more, increasing the volume of code shipped – and with it, the risk of shipping buggy software. Traditional Application Performance Monitoring (APM) tools, while still essential for infra and system-wide monitoring, were never built to tie the performance of the features being shipped to the underlying observability data. That has left a critical gap in obse...

Redis Acquires Featureform to Help Developers Deliver Real-time Structured Data into AI Agents

Redis today announced the acquisition of Featureform , a powerful framework for managing, defining, and orchestrating structured data signals. The acquisition helps Redis solve one of the most critical challenges developers face with production AI: getting structured data into models quickly, reliably, and with full observability.

XMLUI: A modern web development tool based on a component model

Back in the mid-1990s, if you wanted to build useful software, you didn’t necessarily need to be a coding prodigy. You had tools like Visual Basic, an ecosystem of components, and the ability to simply wire them together. You were, in essence, standing on the shoulders of giants – the coders who built those foundational components. It was a time of rapid iteration, where ideas could quickly become tangible applications. If you’re under 45, you might not fully grasp the magic of that era, or perhaps you’ve noticed that the modern web, despite its advancements, hasn’t quite replicated that seamless component-driven development experience. That’s where XMLUI comes in. It aims to bring that Visual Basic model to the modern web, specifically leveraging the React-based component ecosystem. XMLUI wraps React and CSS, providing a suite of components that you can compose using simple XML markup. It’s about democratizing UI development, making it less of a black art and more of a structured, ac...

Breaking down data silos: The power of Microsoft Fabric and Progress DataDirect

Organizations are dealing with unprecedented amounts of data, and while this data has the potential to help drive more informed business decisions and facilitate AI projects, data silos can arise and prevent companies from realizing the true potential of their data. “Integrating diverse data sources requires not only bridging differences in data models and protocols but also enforcing consistent security controls and without these, organizations risk exposing sensitive information and fragmenting their data landscape,” said Kumar Vikesh, senior technical product manager at the data connectivity company Progress . One solution to this challenge is Microsoft Fabric , a platform that allows data from multiple different sources to be unified in a single data lake where it can be connected to different analytics and reporting tools, like Power BI. Under the hood, these connections are made possible by the Synapse Endpoint, a connection interface for querying data with SQL in OneLake, Fab...

OpenAI DevDay: ChatGPT Apps, AgentKit, and GA release of Codex

OpenAI held its annual Developer Day event today where it announced several updates to its products. The company unveiled apps in ChatGPT as well as an SDK for developers to build them. Companies that have created apps that are already available include Booking.com, Canva, Coursera, Figma, Expedia, Spotify, and Zillow.

The first time an app is used, the user will need to connect to it and approve what data can be shared. Apps are available for all ChatGPT users (must be logged in), except those in the EU. OpenAI also announced AgentKit, which is a set of tools for building, deploying, and optimizing ag...

Google’s coding agent Jules now works in the command line

Google’s coding agent Jules now can be used directly in developer’s command lines so that it can act as more of a coding companion. According to Google, it created this new command line interface—called Jules Tools—out of a recognition that the terminal is where developers spend most of their time. Jules Tools allows developers to spin up tasks, inspect what Jules is doing, and integrate Jules into automation. “Think of Jules Tools as both a dashboard and a command surface for your coding agent,” Google wrote in a blog post . It is based around Commands, which tell Jules what to do (ex. list all remote tasks), and Flags, which let developers customize Jules (ex. switch the theme of the interface). “Jules Tools makes your coding agent more tangible. It’s not just something running in the cloud, it’s right there in your terminal, responding to you,” Google said. Additionally, the company announced that it created an API for Jules . With the API, a developer could do things like get ...
