Microsoft’s Fluid Framework 2 is now production ready

Microsoft has released Fluid Framework 2, the latest version of its platform for building collaborative experiences across the Microsoft 365 suite.

Fluid Framework 2 includes four major updates, the first of which is a new SharedTree Distributed Data Structure (DDS) that provides a programming interface for working with data. It supports many different data types, such as primitives, objects, arrays, and maps. It also includes features like the ability to listen for changes and track revertible objects on undo/redo stacks, the ability to group changes, an easier way to create granular event listeners, and support for recursive types in schemas. 

Next, it adds a new relay and storage solution for SharePoint Embedded that allows users to keep collaborative data within Microsoft 365 tenants. According to Microsoft, this allows developers to benefit from the security and compliance benefits of Microsoft 365 storage.  

Fluid Framework 2 also introduces Fluid DevTools, which is a browser extension for writing and debugging Fluid apps. Key features include container state and data visualization, the ability to modify container state for testing offline, framework event logs, telemetry graphs, and visibility into audience membership, permissions, and join/leave logs. 

And finally, this version also includes a package that provides telemetry data that can be funneled into any analytics tool. This allows application developers to monitor application usage and look for issues or areas that could be optimized. 

Additionally, Microsoft announced that several of its new experiences are powered by Fluid Framework 2 as well, including:

  • Microsoft Loop, a collaborative workspace similar to Notion
  • Edge Workspaces, which allows Edge users to organize browsing tasks into dedicated windows 
  • Teams Live Share, which is an SDK that can be used to create collaborative experiences within Teams

2022: The year of hybrid work

Remote work was once considered a luxury to many, but in 2020, it became a necessity for a large portion of the workforce, as the scary and unknown COVID-19 virus sickened and even took the lives of so many people around the world.  Some workers were able to thrive in a remote setting, while others felt isolated and struggled to keep up a balance between their work and home lives. Last year saw the availability of life-saving vaccines, so companies were able to start having the conversation about what to do next. Should they keep everyone remote? Should they go back to working in the office full time? Or should they do something in between? Enter hybrid work, which offers a mix of the two. A Fall 2021 study conducted by Google revealed that over 75% of survey respondents expect hybrid work to become a standard practice within their organization within the next three years.  Thus, two years after the world abruptly shifted to widespread adoption of remote work, we are dec...

October 2025: AI updates from the past month

OpenAI announces agentic security researcher that can find and fix vulnerabilities OpenAI has released a private beta for a new AI agent called Aardvark that acts as a security researcher, finding vulnerabilities and applying fixes, at scale. “Software security is one of the most critical—and challenging—frontiers in technology. Each year, tens of thousands of new vulnerabilities are discovered across enterprise and open-source codebases. Defenders face the daunting tasks of finding and patching vulnerabilities before their adversaries do. At OpenAI, we are working to tip that balance in favor of defenders,” OpenAI wrote in a blog post . The agent continuously analyzes source code repositories to identify vulnerabilities, assess their exploitability, prioritize severity, and propose patches. Instead of using traditional analysis techniques like fuzzing of software composition analysis, Aardvark uses LLM-powered reasoning and tool-use. Cursor 2.0 enables eight agents to work in pa...
