The newest of them: “Cloudflare's K2 Beta Turns Object Storage Into a One-Second Event Stream”, “Unlock stronger encryption by moving Kubernetes keys to Vault Enterprise”, and “Simplify infrastructure governance with policy-as-code built into Terraform”. Cloudflare's K2 beta turns R2 object storage into a serverless event stream with roughly one-second produce latency at p99. Vault Enterprise now lets Kubernetes hand off envelope encryption to an external trust domain, moving the key encryption keys that guard etcd data out of the cluster entirely. Acme AI is the next-generation, AI-powered spreadsheet platform built to replace Excel and redefine how analysts, data scientists, and enterprise teams work… The list below is every public beta story on Beyond Market Intelligence, newest first.

Cloudflare's K2 Beta Turns Object Storage Into a One-Second Event Stream

Cloudflare's K2 beta turns R2 object storage into a serverless event stream with roughly one-second produce latency at p99. That's a compelling shift for teams already invested in Cloudflare's ecosystem, though the 7.5-second end-to-end p99 reported by one tester suggests the full path still has room to tighten. Consume charges matching produce charges keeps pricing predictable. For deeper context on Cloudflare's AI ambitions, Clef offers a sharper decision-making model worth exploring.

Unlock stronger encryption by moving Kubernetes keys to Vault Enterprise

Vault Enterprise now lets Kubernetes hand off envelope encryption to an external trust domain, moving the key encryption keys that guard etcd data out of the cluster entirely. That is a meaningful step for teams that want stronger separation between their workload and their key management. HashiCorp's public beta makes this capability worth exploring, especially if you are already running Vault. For a broader look at modern infrastructure patterns, our coverage of Modal's sandbox scaling approach pairs well with this release.

Simplify infrastructure governance with policy-as-code built into Terraform

HashiCorp has rolled out tfpolicy, a new HCL-based policy-as-code framework for Terraform, now in public beta within HCP Terraform. The move targets a persistent pain point: governance has long meant juggling separate tools and languages, which slows down teams. By embedding policy creation and enforcement directly into Terraform workflows, tfpolicy keeps things simpler and more intuitive. It's a practical step toward modernizing infrastructure governance. For more on how AI is reshaping related workflows, our piece on bridging retrieval and action offers useful context.

Automate Security Backlog as AI Coding Tools Accelerate Development

GitLab 19.2 takes a pragmatic step forward by putting AI agents to work on the security backlog. As AI coding tools accelerate production, review work has piled up faster than human hands can manage. Four features now move out of beta, including Dependency Scanning Auto-Remediation and Security Review Flow. That's a sensible response to a real bottleneck. We're not talking about flashy promises here, just practical automation for work that matters.

Siri's AI upgrade arrives in the iOS 27 public beta for everyone to explore

The iOS 27 public beta is out, and that means anyone can finally try the revamped Siri without a developer account. Apple is opening the door for everyday iPhone owners to test this AI-powered assistant ahead of its fall launch. It is a smart move, letting users explore these tools early and see what actually works for them.
