The rise of AI agents has reshaped software economics; businesses have been increasingly adopting them for efficiency, scale, and delivering values faster. However, pricing them has remained a hard problem. By the established norms, you would tie cost to headcount or access, but that doesn’t fit; traditional methods misalign with how agents deliver value. And newer approaches often create more confusion than clarity.

AI coding tools like ChatGPT, GitHub Copilot, and Claude have completely changed how we write software. From humble beginnings where non-AI-enabled code assistants made intelligent code suggestions, like Intellisense, the latest agentic tools can generate entire functions, suggest optimal algorithms, and even scaffold complete applications in minutes. However, as any developer who’s worked with AI-generated code knows, the output isn’t always perfect.

Imagine that you need to know the exact location of the train that you’re about to catch. Trains can be equipped with IoT sensors that can publish location coordinates via Kafka streams in real time. You will be using a mobile application to view a train’s location. Mobile applications and web applications are compatible with WebSocket, a web-friendly protocol, but the location data is received via a Kafka stream. How do we convert the real-time Kafka feed into a real-time WebSocket feed?

When your application crashes during peak traffic or returns cryptic error messages to frustrated users, the culprit is often hiding in plain sight: untested APIs. According to recent industry data, APIs now account for 71% of all internet traffic, yet many businesses still treat API testing as an afterthought.

BugSnag now supports applications built with the Vega Developer Tools from Amazon Devices & Services, giving developers immediate visibility into the stability of their TV-first apps. This launch is part of a deeper collaboration between SmartBear and Amazon, extending beyond tooling support into a broader partnership that accelerates software quality across the Amazon ecosystem.

The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) finalized the CMS-0057-F Interoperability and Prior Authorization Rule, which marks a pivotal shift in U.S. healthcare, requiring payers, providers, and health IT vendors to enable seamless data exchange through FHIR APIs. The rule is designed to reduce administrative burden, improve care coordination, and empower patients with timely access to their health information.
