After a hiatus of a few weeks, we’re back with updates on fresh tools, insights, and integrations for developers. We’re excited to share Couchbase’s new support in the Google MCP Toolbox, a head-to-head look at SQL++ vs. Mongo’s Query API, and a framework for evaluating agentic AI workflows. Plus, we introduce a new project to halt pod evictions in Kubernetes for more stable stateful applications. Oh, and we won another award to round out a great week!
🧰 Announcing Couchbase Support in Google’s MCP Toolbox for Databases - As autonomous AI agents become more powerful and pervasive, developers need ways to securely and reliably connect these agents to operational and analytical data. Whether you’re building customer service agents, intelligent dashboards, or agentic workflows, data access is the backbone of intelligence. That’s why we’re excited to announce that Couchbase is now officially supported in the Google MCP Toolbox for Databases. Learn more >>
✚✚ Choosing the Right Query Language: SQL++ vs. Mongo - When you’re building apps, the query language you work with makes a big difference. It affects everything from performance to how quickly your team can ship features. In this post, we walk through a number of criteria and show how SQL++, used by Couchbase, and Mongo’s Query API (previously known as MQL) languages stack up. Whether you’re evaluating databases for a new project, or just curious about the differences between these two approaches, this should give you a clear picture of where each one shines and where it might fall short. Choose wisely >>
🤖 Evaluating Agentic AI Workflows - Agents and agentic pipelines are being built and released at an accelerated pace like never before. But how can we determine how good they are? Developing robust AI agent evaluation frameworks has become essential for several compelling reasons that we go through in this post. Read on >>
🪝 Rethinking Node Drains: A Webhook Based Approach to Graceful Pod Removal - Events like maintenance or resource pressure can trigger pod evictions in Kubernetes, which risk disrupting services if not handled carefully. The Eviction Reschedule Hook is an open source project that aims to address this issue by using Kubernetes Admission Controllers to intercept and reject eviction requests for operator-managed pods and act accordingly. Halt the eviction >>
