The more autonomous AI becomes, the more binaries it will create. The more binaries created, the more security is required at the gate, and the more governance is needed before deployment to production. 🐸 https://bit.ly/4seEMPq #JFrog #LiquidSw

Today, I want to share with you something both massive and inescapable — a force reshaping software development as we know it. Our Co-Founder and CEO Shlomi Ben Haim is writing about the wave — the tidal wave — of binaries. Not metaphorical. Literal. Real. Growing exponentially. As AI advances, as automation replaces hand-coded source lines, the sheer number of compiled artifacts — the executable outputs — is skyrocketing. In this new world, you need a single source of truth — a system of record — not just for source code, but for every binary that flows through your software supply chain. Check it out via the link in Shlomi's post below.

Yesterday, the IBM acquisition of Confluent officially closed...and if the Red Hat acquisition taught us anything, it’s that $11B valuations usually lead to "Cloud Pak" bundles and gated source code. As Jeff Mery breaks down in his latest deep dive, the "IBM Cycle" often trades community-driven innovation for high-margin proprietary features and aggressive audits. If you’re tired of the "Streaming Tax" and want to see how 100% upstream, diskless Kafka can slash your infra costs by 97% before your roadmap gets "IBM-ified," this is the one article you need to read today. Read the full analysis and see the breakdown here: https://lnkd.in/dZ9bBt5V

The quantum shift in SDLC/app lifecycle is upon us and no one can do it alone. Shlomi Ben Haim, CEO of JFrog was joined on stage at #swampUP by our key platform ecosystem partners on this journey - Justin Boitano, VP of Enterprise AI at NVIDIA; Rahul Tripathi, GVP and GM ITSM at ServiceNow, and Tariq Shaukat, CEO of Sonar. What is the quantum shift? With the explosive pace of releases, ubiquitous AI apps, and higher security threats - the way we do software releases has to shift. We need a application lifecycle that is - faster, more secure, with a unified ecosystem approach and a single system of record. Shlomi and our partners shared how our collective tech integrations enrich JFrog as the system of record for your application lifecycle: 1. JFrog platform incorporates code qaulity from Sonar for more reliable releases 2. ITSM information and DevOps practices are deeply intertwined for faster and trusted app lifecycle 3. And with JFrog - the secure model registry - you can more confidently release your AI apps. Proud moment for us, watch all the innovation launching today. #jfrogFly, #jfrogAIcatalog, #AppTrust and more.
