Constructive has launched a secure Postgres platform that incorporates Row-Level Security (RLS) at the time of table creation to enhance backend security. This platform aims to prevent misconfigurations that could lead to vulnerabilities. Constructive has also achieved over 100 million npm downloads for its open-source developer tools. The platform is designed to address the growing prominence of Postgres as a preferred database, especially in applications supporting OpenAI's infrastructure, which serves 800 million users monthly. The launch aligns with trends such as Postgres being the default database, the dual impact of AI-assisted development increasing both speed and risks, and the challenge of human oversight in software development. The platform establishes a trust layer for AI-generated backends, ensuring consistent policy enforcement and verifiable security measures. It operates beneath the application layer, utilizing abstract syntax trees to apply security deterministically. Constructive's tools are currently in use across over 10 million databases at companies like Supabase and Databricks, and the secure Postgres platform is available in commercial private beta.

A Microsoft distinguished engineer, Galen Hunt, clarified that a project aimed at rewriting parts of Microsoft's code using AI and Rust is strictly research-focused and not an official plan to phase out C and C++ from Windows by 2030. His team is developing technology for large-scale code migration between programming languages, aiming for "1 engineer, 1 month, 1 million lines of code." This project is part of Microsoft's Future of Scalable Software Engineering group and is not a roadmap for Windows 11 or future versions. Microsoft has been integrating Rust into its products, including rewriting segments of the Windows kernel in 2023, as part of its commitment to adopting memory-safe programming languages.
