Cohesity dives deeper into MongoDB – Blocks and Files

MMS Founder
MMS RSS

Posted on nosqlgooglealerts. Visit nosqlgooglealerts

Cohesity is getting closer to MongoDB by providing more advanced performance and control capabilities for backup and recovery of MongoDB databases.

Cyber resilience supplier Cohesity says it’s among the first data protection software providers to deliver MongoDB workload protection through the MongoDB Third Party Backup Ops Manager API with its DataProtect offering. Rubrik also supports this API. 

Document database supplier MongoDB produces one of the top five NoSQL databases and has a massive user community. It is a publicly owned business that earned revenues of $2 billion in fiscal 2025 and competes against traditional relational database heavyweights like Oracle and IBM. MongoDB sells both an on-premises version of its database and a cloud version, called Atlas, which is sold through the AWS, Azure, and GCP clouds.

Vasu Murthy

Vasu Murthy, Cohesity SVP and chief product officer, stated: “With ransomware attacks now commonplace, cyber resilience is a strategic priority for all organizations. This is particularly true of large enterprises, which have a very low tolerance for risk. Downtime for any reason can mean millions of dollars and massive reputational damage. As trusted providers for many of the world’s largest companies, Cohesity and MongoDB are working together to strengthen our customers’ ability to bounce back fast.” 

Cohesity said its DataProtect-MongoDB integration, now generally available, features:

  • Parallel data streams to enable billions of objects to be processed instantaneously.
  • Cohesity’s backups get customers’ MongoDB databases back online 4x faster than traditional methods. 
  • A scale-out architecture providing petabyte-sized support on a single platform. Customers can reduce their data footprint with global, variable-length deduplication and compression.
  • Immutable write once, read many (WORM) storage, data encryption in flight and at rest, continuous data protection, secure SSL authentication, and a multi-layer defense posture based on Zero Trust security principles.
  • Business continuity and redundancy with protection of replica sets and sharded clusters with flexible secondary, primary, or fixed preferred backup nodes – enabling continuous availability and failover readiness. Customers can achieve stricter SLAs (both RPOs and RTOs) and eliminate data loss in high-velocity environments. 
  • Support for sharded and Replica Set deployments.
  • Application-consistent backups across complex MongoDB deployments through tightly integrated snapshot orchestration.
  • Disaster recovery with restoration of MongoDB clusters in-place or to new environments following failures or ransomware events.
  • Safe evaluation of performance enhancements or upgrades on alternate hardware with no production downtime.
  • Seamless refreshment of development environments using out-of-place recovery from clean, consistent MongoDB backups.

A Cohesity blog says the integrated DataProtect-MongoDB offering “is designed for enterprises with large-scale, mission-critical MongoDB environments – think global banks, financial services firms, and Fortune 500 companies.”

Cohesity MongoDB integration

It “auto-discovers MongoDB Ops Manager (OM) objects, enabling a frictionless and intuitive user experience. It also fully supports OM instances running in High Availability (HA) mode and with SSL encryption – ensuring secure, resilient protection for even the most demanding environments.”

Benjamin Cefalo

MongoDB’s SVP of Product Management, Benjamin Cefalo, said: “As the leading document database for modern applications, MongoDB empowers organizations to build, scale, and innovate faster. Our collaboration with Cohesity reinforces that mission by helping customers protect their data with robust, enterprise-grade resilience – without compromising the agility and performance developers expect from our platform.”

AlphaWrite: Improving AI Narratives Through Evolution

MMS Founder
MMS Robert Krzaczynski

Article originally posted on InfoQ. Visit InfoQ

AlphaWrite is a new framework designed to enhance creative writing with structure and measurable improvements. Developed by Toby Simonds, it employs an evolutionary process to iteratively boost storytelling quality during inference.

Creative generation has long been a challenge for large language models (LLMs), not due to a lack of fluency, but because of the difficulty in evaluating subjective qualities such as character development, emotional impact, and narrative cohesion. AlphaWrite addresses this by borrowing ideas from evolutionary algorithms and systems like AlphaEvolve, applying them to story generation.

The system operates in iterative cycles. It first generates a broad population of diverse stories, varying in author style and theme. Then, an LLM-based judge conducts pairwise comparisons using a detailed narrative quality rubric and Elo rating system. Top-performing stories are selected to spawn variants with guided improvements in structure, dialogue, or prose, among other dimensions. This process is repeated across generations, aiming to refine stories over time.

Source: tobysimonds.com

As Toby Simonds, a creator of AlphaWrite, shared on X:

The magic is in the evolutionary pressure. Stories don’t just get generated once – they compete, mutate, and improve across generations. Top performers become ‘parents’ for the next generation, while weak stories get replaced by promising variants.

Early experiments using Llama 3.1 8B suggest notable gains. Stories produced by AlphaWrite were preferred 72% of the time over initial single-shot generations and 62% over stories created through sequential prompting, both statistically significant. The system also supports recursive improvement: refined outputs are distilled into the base model, which can then undergo another round of evolution.

Source: tobysimonds.com

While the results are promising, not everyone welcomes the development. One user on Hacker News commented:

If there is something that I would like AI to never touch, it’s that. Please stop making the world worse.

In response, another user added

Not everyone shares your same worldview… You don’t have to participate; ignore AI-generated or AI-assisted content… But you also don’t have to devalue and dismiss the interests of others.

These differing reactions reflect broader cultural tensions around AI’s role in creative domains—whether it enhances or erodes human expression. The AlphaWrite team acknowledges that evaluating story quality remains subjective and warns of risks like prompt bias and creative convergence.

Nonetheless, AlphaWrite’s potential reaches beyond fiction. The authors note that the system helped draft parts of their paper and could be adapted to technical writing, marketing, and academic content. With suitable rubrics, the method could be applied to optimize specific writing tasks or even to improve foundation models themselves.

The code is available in the AlphaWrite GitHub repository for developers and researchers to explore.

Docker Launches Hardened Base Images

MMS Founder
MMS Mark Silvester

Article originally posted on InfoQ. Visit InfoQ

Docker has introduced a new range of security-focused base images designed for production use, aiming to reduce vulnerabilities and support secure software supply chains across containerised applications.

Docker Hardened Images (DHI) are a curated set of minimal images built from source using a distroless approach. By removing shells, package managers, and other unnecessary components, the images are designed to reduce the attack surface of containerised workloads significantly.

According to Docker, the hardened images reduce the vulnerability footprint by up to 95% compared to traditional base images. Each image is maintained with automated patching and ongoing security updates, aiming for a near-zero number of known CVEs. Critical and high-severity vulnerabilities are patched within seven days, backed by a defined service-level agreement.

The hardened images are designed to be drop-in replacements for popular base images, such as Alpine and Debian. Docker has focused on ensuring compatibility with existing Dockerfiles to minimise disruption to build pipelines. A customisation layer allows teams to add their own certificates, packages, and configuration files on top of the secure base.

DHI images also include signed Software Bill of Materials (SBOMs) and provenance metadata, supporting increased transparency and supply chain visibility. These features may be particularly relevant for teams operating in regulated industries or security-sensitive environments, where additional assurance and traceability are valued.

Docker has announced early integration partners, including Microsoft, GitLab, JFrog, NGINX, Sysdig, Wiz, and Sonatype. These collaborations aim to ensure DHI works seamlessly with popular security and CI/CD tooling.

In internal testing, Docker reports that swapping a standard Node.js image for a hardened variant led to a 98% reduction in the number of installed packages and the elimination of known CVEs. The initial catalogue includes hardened images for common runtimes, including Python, Go, and Java.

DHI is now available via Docker Hub, with access determined by Docker’s subscription tiers. The setup documentation and customisation tools are included as part of the release.

The Void IDE, Open-Source Alternative to Cursor, Released in Beta

MMS Founder
MMS Bruno Couriol

Article originally posted on InfoQ. Visit InfoQ

A new open-source AI-powered code editor, Void IDE, was recently released in beta, positioning itself as a privacy-focused and free alternative to popular closed-source AI editors like Cursor and GitHub Copilot. Backed by Y Combinator, Void IDE is a fork of Visual Studio Code. While Microsoft recently announced plans to open Source its GitHub Copilot Chat Extension possibly in a few months, the beta release is available now for the community to fiddle with.

The primary motivation behind Void IDE is to address concerns surrounding the privacy and cost associated with proprietary AI coding tools. Closed-source editors may require sending private code data through their backends, raising privacy issues and leading to ongoing subscription costs. While the backend may often keep only embeddings computed from the code, the original code may sometimes be recoverable. As the authors of the paper Mitigating Privacy Risks in LLM Embeddings from Embedding Inversion explain:

The surge in popularity of embedding vector databases in LLMs has been accompanied by significant concerns about privacy leakage. Embedding vector databases are particularly vulnerable to embedding inversion attacks, where adversaries can exploit the embeddings to reverse-engineer and extract sensitive information from the original text data.

Void IDE aims to provide options for keeping developers in control of their data. Void IDE can leverage various Large Language Models (LLMs), supporting direct integrations with services like Claude, GPT, and Gemini, as well as local model hosting via Ollama. This ensures that AI processing can happen locally or via direct API calls, avoiding a third-party middleman.

Void IDE offers a range of AI-centric features familiar to users of tools like Cursor. These include inline code editing, contextual AI chat, and code generation. The editor also features advanced capabilities like file system awareness for codebase-wide context and the ability to view/edit the underlying prompts sent to the AI.

Being a fork from VS Code, Void IDE is able to let its users migrate their themes, key bindings, and settings.

Developers on Hacker News and Reddit expressed interest, particularly regarding its open-source nature and privacy stance. Discussions include comparisons to other AI coding tools and editors. Some developers expressed skepticism about the proliferation of VS Code forks, with others asking why not use an extension instead. The project is actively developed, with the team encouraging contributions from the community to shape its future roadmap.

Android 16 Introduces Wide-Ranging Features and Changes

MMS Founder
MMS Sergio De Simone

Article originally posted on InfoQ. Visit InfoQ

Google has released Android 16, now available for supported Pixel devices. The new release introduces a wide range of new APIs and changes, some of which affect existing apps and require developers to update their code. Material 3 Expressive, the new paradigm for Android user interfaces, is not yet included and will roll out later this year.

Android 16 introduces a wealth of new features and changes across nearly all areas of the OS, from accessibility and connectivity to camera support, privacy, core functionality, security, and more. Notable new behaviors include improved notifications, extended support for full screen apps, advanced protection against USB attacks, desktop-style multitasking, and several enhancements to camera and media capabilities.

Adaptive apps are the default on Android 16 for any “large” device, that is, devices with displays larger than 600dp in both dimensions, such as the inner screens of foldables, tablets, and Chromebooks. The option to restrict an app’s resizability via the manifest is no longer available. For developers, this means adopting good practices to avoid stretched UI components, ensuring the camera works correctly in both orientation, and preserving state across window size changes.

Changes needed to support adaptive apps are also essential for desktop-like multitasking, which is enabled when connecting an Android device to an external monitor. In addition, apps displayed on an external monitor may benefit from more advanced behaviors like allowing multiple instances, support data sharing via drag and drop, support configuration changes, and more.

Android 16 introduces an extended notification system supporting progress-centric notifications, which can be used to denote how a process progresses through multiple states and milestones, such as for ridesharing, delivery, and navigation. The system uses points and segments to visually represent progress. These new features lay out the foundation for the upcoming Live Updates capability.

Google has already scheduled a minor Android 16 update for Q3 and a major feature drop in Q4, which will include the release of Material 3 Expressive. Notably, the current release is the only one that will require updates to existing apps to ensure compatibility with Android 16 devices.

Developers should pay close attention to changes such as new JobScheduler quotas that could stop an app when the developer does not expect it; ART changes potentially crashing apps using reflection, JNI, or accessing Android internals; stronger security against intent redirection attacks; the adoption of 16KB page size; new Bluetooth handling affecting device re-pairing, and more.

As mentioned, Android 16 is currently available exclusively on supported Pixel devices. According to Google, support for third-party models will follow soon. In the meantime, developers can test their apps using the Android emulator in Android Studio to ensure compatibility and expected behavior on Android 16.

Snowflake Trades Near 52-Week High: Buy, Sell or Hold the Stock? – TradingView

MMS Founder
MMS RSS

Posted on mongodb google news. Visit mongodb google news

Snowflake SNOW shares closed at $212.08 on Wednesday, very close to the 52-week high of $214.83, hit on June 4, 2025. SNOW shares have jumped 37.3% year to date (YTD), outperforming the Zacks Internet – Software industry and Zacks Computer and Technology sector gained 12.8% and 1.5%, respectively. 

The upside in Snowflake is driven by strong first-quarter fiscal 2026 results, consistent product innovation and robust customer expansion. Revenues increased 25.7% year over year to $1.04 billion, beating the Zacks consensus mark by 3.74%. Snowflake reported non-GAAP earnings of 24 cents per share, surpassing the consensus estimate of 22 cents and rising from 14 cents reported in the year-ago quarter. The company added 451 net new customers during the quarter, reflecting 18.8% year-over-year growth.

SNOW Stock’s Performance 

Snowflake shares are trading above the 50-day moving average, indicating a bullish trend.

SNOW Shares Trade Above 50-Day SMA

Snowflake Shares Trading at a Premium

Snowflake shares are trading at a premium, as suggested by the Value Score of F.

In terms of forward 12-month P/S, SNOW stock is trading at 14.49X compared with the industry’s 5.67X. The stock is expensive than competitors like Teradata TDC and MongoDB MDB.

Shares of Teradata and MongoDB are currently trading at P/S ratios of 1.28X and 6.91X, respectively.

Price/Sales (F12M)

With shares trading near 52-week high and valuation metrics stretched, the key question is whether SNOW still offers compelling upside at current levels. Let’s take a closer look.

Snowflake’s Strong and Innovative Portfolio Drives Growth

Snowflake’s expanding portfolio has been noteworthy. Products like Generation 2 Warehouses, Adaptive Compute, Openflow and Snowflake Intelligence are helping drive new enterprise adoption.

Building on this momentum, in June 2025, Snowflake launched Generation 2 Warehouses with 2.1x faster analytics and Adaptive Compute to enable automatic resource scaling. The company also introduced Openflow, a managed service built on Apache NiFi, to simplify batch and streaming data ingestion into the AI Data Cloud, supporting faster integration for AI and real-time workloads.

Snowflake’s investments in AI and machine learning, including the introduction of Snowflake Intelligence and enhancements to the Marketplace with agentic native apps and AI-ready datasets, continue to gain traction. These capabilities are helping customers accelerate GenAI deployment across business functions and reduce time to insight.

Strong Clientele and Partnerships Support SNOW’s Momentum

Snowflake’s platform continues to gain adoption among large enterprises across industries. Companies like JPMorgan Chase, AstraZeneca, Siemens, Samsung Ads and Dentsu are leveraging the AI Data Cloud to unify workloads, improve visibility and drive more personalized customer experiences. As of the first quarter, more than 5,200 customers were actively using Snowflake’s AI and ML features weekly.

Snowflake also benefits from a robust partner ecosystem that includes Microsoft MSFT, Amazon, ServiceNow and NVIDIA, along with consulting leaders like EY and S&P Global. In partnership with Microsoft, the company continues to enhance data interoperability and simplify AI development.

The Zacks Consensus Estimate for SNOW’s fiscal 2026 revenues is pegged at $4.51 billion, indicating year-over-year growth of 24.50%. The consensus mark for earnings is pegged at $1.06 per share, which has decreased nine cents over the past 30 days. This indicates an increase of 27.71% on a year-over-year basis.

How Should Investors Play SNOW Stock?

Snowflake’s expanding customer footprint, continued platform innovation and strong ecosystem of partners provide a solid foundation for long-term growth. However, intensifying competition from hyperscale cloud providers like AWS, Azure and Google Cloud continues to be a competitive hurdle.

The company also faces increasing pressure from enterprise data cloud and analytics providers such as Teradata and MongoDB, which are enhancing their offerings and capturing market share. In parallel, elevated infrastructure spending, particularly on GPUs to support AI-driven initiatives, is adding to cost pressures. Stretched valuation remains a concern.

SNOW currently carries a Zacks Rank #3 (Hold), suggesting that it may be wise to wait for a more favorable entry point in the stock. You can see the complete list of today’s Zacks #1 Rank (Strong Buy) stocks here.
