Dropbox deepens AI infrastructure with Tigris Data acquisition
Dropbox has acquired Tigris Data to deepen its AI infrastructure, a move that will power DBX Agent Cloud, a new storage platform built for developers creating AI models and agents. This isn't about incremental improvement; it's a bet on the infrastructure needed for the next generation of data work. For a parallel look at how logistics is evolving with AI, see our coverage of Zipline's $1.5B raise and its expanded Walmart partnership.
Asos customers alerted by hackers in cloud storage breach
A push notification from hackers informed ASOS customers that the company's cloud storage had been "fully compromised." That direct alert is unsettling, but it also highlights a growing reality: cloud breaches are becoming harder to hide. For anyone tracking how attackers exploit infrastructure, this incident connects naturally to our coverage of how AI models stress-test Cloudflare's firewall. Understanding those weaknesses is the first step toward building defenses that work.
Reclaim control over your spreadsheet's author and edit history
Managing a spreadsheet's version history is often a locked door, OneDrive's AutoSave records every edit, and changing the author or timestamp feels out of reach. It's a frustrating constraint when you need clean attribution. While Excel doesn't offer a native way to rewrite that metadata, the request highlights a deeper need: true ownership over your data's story. If you're already exploring how to track changes more effectively, our article on finding deleted rows between two spreadsheet versions offers a practical path forward.
GKE Pod Snapshots Cut Startup Lag by 89% While Easing the Load
GKE Pod snapshots are delivering the kind of results that make you pause: up to 89% lower startup latency and a 70B model loading in 37 seconds. That's a serious step forward for teams wrestling with cold starts. By checkpointing CPU and GPU memory through gVisor into Cloud Storage, Google is easing a real bottleneck. Still, the community is asking the sharper question: is invalidation the harder problem?
Perplexity Transforms Search with CobbleDB, Achieving 5x Faster Queries
Perplexity has quietly rebuilt its search backbone, moving from Amazon DynamoDB to CobbleDB, its own key-value store written in Rust. The result is a fivefold speed boost and lower costs on large document batches, all while handling serious production traffic. That is the kind of infrastructure bet most teams talk about but rarely pull off. For deeper looks at similar moves, Cloudflare's blog migration to EmDash shows how internal tools can reshape performance.
