Run cloud agents in your own infrastructure
Cursor has made self-hosted cloud agents generally available, allowing code, tool execution, and build artifacts to remain within an organization’s network. Each agent runs in an isolated virtual machine or dedicated worker with a terminal, browser, and full desktop; it can clone repositories, configure environments, write and test code, and push changes for review. A worker connects outbound to Cursor’s cloud over HTTPS, receives tool calls from the agent harness, and returns execution results, while organizations can run long-lived or single-use workers and manage large fleets through a Helm chart, Kubernetes operator, or fleet management API. The product retains cloud-agent capabilities including multi-model support, plugins, and team permissions, while giving teams access to internal caches, dependencies, endpoints, and security controls without maintaining a separate agent stack.
ClickHouse is data lake ready
ClickHouse announced expanded data lake capabilities, enabling direct querying, accelerated ingestion into MergeTree, and writes across Apache Iceberg and Delta Lake tables. Open lake architectures provide storage portability across cloud providers and catalogs, but standard query engines often struggle with latency for real-time workloads. Over two years of development, ClickHouse engineered a native Parquet reader with page-level parallelism, integrated the Delta Rust Kernel, and introduced support for schema evolution, time travel, and DML operations. The platform functions across AWS Glue, Unity Catalog, Polaris, and Iceberg REST Catalog on storage systems including Amazon S3, Google Cloud Storage, and Azure Blob Storage. These enhancements allow organizations to execute federated, high-concurrency SQL queries across multiple catalogs or write processed analytical results back to their lakes without vendor lock-in.
eBay Partners with Meta for New Affiliate Program, Boosting Social Commerce for Sellers and Creators
eBay is joining Facebook’s affiliate partnerships as a beta partner, allowing creators across Facebook’s global ecosystem to feature eBay inventory directly in content. Creators can access and embed listings in Reels, photos, and text posts, and earn a commission when followers click a linked listing and complete a purchase on eBay. The integration is intended to make discovery more direct within Facebook, helping sellers reach engaged buyers, expand market reach, and generate incremental demand through creator-led storytelling. The beta is scheduled to begin in the coming months, offering sellers a new visibility channel and creators an additional monetization stream as social commerce and the creator economy continue to evolve.
Supabase Joins the Stripe Projects Developer Preview
Supabase has joined the Stripe Projects developer preview, a Stripe CLI workflow for provisioning real services and obtaining working credentials with a single command. The integration provisions a complete Supabase project—including Postgres, Auth, Storage, Edge Functions, and Realtime—without requiring dashboard interaction, while supporting both developers and AI agents through deterministic, repeatable steps. After installing the Stripe CLI and adding supabase/project, stripe projects env --sync writes credentials to a local .env file and stores them in the Stripe Project for agent access; existing Supabase users can link their account. Projects remain in the user’s Supabase account with dashboard, connection-string, and data access, and database credentials can be rotated with stripe projects rotate supabase/project. The feature is a developer preview, and Stripe and Supabase are requesting feedback through Discord or GitHub.
Introducing Composer 2
Cursor has made Composer 2 available as a coding model in Cursor. It is priced at $0.50/M input and $2.50/M output tokens, with a faster variant priced at $1.50/M input and $7.50/M output tokens. The release reports higher scores across CursorBench, Terminal-Bench 2.0, and SWE-bench Multilingual, with Composer 2 scoring 61.3, 61.7, and 73.7, respectively. Its training combines a first continued pretraining run with reinforcement learning on long-horizon coding tasks, allowing it to handle challenges requiring hundreds of actions. Composer 2's standard pricing and included usage pool on individual plans are presented alongside the faster option, which is set as the default.
March 2026 newsletter
The March 2026 ClickHouse newsletter details major platform updates, community deployments, and architectural practices for high-throughput analytics. Recent product announcements include ClickHouse 26.2 featuring time-based block flushing for streaming feeds, general availability of native inverted indexes for full-text search, and the release of chDB 4 with a Pandas-compatible DataStore API. Community implementations show Cloudflare managing 1.61 quadrillion daily events, while Trigger.dev isolated multi-tenant SQL execution using a domain-specific query language that compiles safe ClickHouse queries. In data optimization techniques, Hookdeck accelerated webhook payload search from over 30 seconds to under 400 milliseconds by partitioning payload hashes into typed bucket columns and scanning iterative time windows. Additional operational guidance emphasizes setting the ttl_only_drop_parts parameter and aligning table partitioning with time units so background merges drop entire data parts cleanly without triggering mutation rewrites.
Updating the design of Notion pages
Notion revisited its page design after years of adding blocks with inconsistent spacing and related details. Rather than relying on baseline alignment, which is difficult across browsers and user-controlled block heights, the redesign uses standardized spacing to create rhythm while preserving flexibility. The team also changed paragraph spacing so readers can scan documents and see breaks more clearly, then addressed the resulting problem of lists feeling too loose or too tight. Its solution treats blocks above and below a block as adjacent and reduces padding when neighboring items belong to a list, including checklists, bulleted, toggle, numbered, and page lists. Notion says the system will roll out across all pages, including lists, headings, and mixed-content documents, over the coming weeks.
Introducing AI observability notebooks for Managed ClickStack in Private Preview
ClickHouse has launched AI Notebooks for Managed ClickStack in private preview to assist site reliability engineers during system investigations. Instead of isolating interactions in a standard chat window, the platform embeds Anthropic's Claude models directly into a cell-based notebook canvas. The system connects the model to internal ClickStack APIs, translating natural language questions into structured queries that leverage ClickHouse optimizations like materialized views and query chunking. Engineers can inspect reasoning, edit generated SQL queries, add manual visualizations, and branch investigations to evaluate multiple hypotheses independently. While currently utilizing a last-write-wins model for shared canvases, the roadmap includes true concurrent editing, customizable context, and external tool integration via an MCP server.
Enhance Your In-IDE Data Browsing Experience With MongoDB
MongoDB announced the general availability of an enhanced data browsing experience within the MongoDB for Visual Studio Code extension. The update introduces a paginated tree view that automatically detects human-readable fields like names or emails to create descriptive document titles instead of showing standard ObjectId hashes. An integrated action header inside the tree view enables developers to insert documents, refresh queries, sort by ObjectId, paginate results, and execute bulk deletes directly from the sidebar. Individual documents support hover-based contextual action menus for native deletion, copying, cloning, and editing. Furthermore, the extension now defaults to standard Shell syntax rather than Extended JSON across insert, clone, edit, and clipboard operations to maintain application code compatibility.
Holotron-12B - High Throughput Computer Use Agent
Holotron-12B is a multimodal computer-use model released by H Company and available on Hugging Face. Post-trained from NVIDIA’s Nemotron-Nano-12B-v2-VL-BF16 on proprietary data, it targets agents that must perceive, decide, and act in interactive environments while handling long contexts with multiple images. Its hybrid State-Space Model and attention architecture stores a constant state per layer per generated sequence instead of attention’s per-token key and value activations, reducing memory demands for long-context inference. In a WebVoyager evaluation on one H100 with vLLM, it reached 8.9k tokens/s at concurrency 100 versus 5.1k for Holo2-8B, and its benchmark score rose from 35.1% to 80.5% after training on localization and navigation data.
ClickHouse Release 26.2
ClickHouse version 26.2 introduces twenty-five new features, forty-three performance optimizations, and one hundred eighty-three bug fixes across the database engine. This release graduates both the text-index and the QBit vector embedding data type to production-ready status for search and retrieval workloads. For streaming ingestion pipelines where row arrival rates are low, the engine adds time-based block flushing configurations to write data parts before hitting default row or byte thresholds. The update also embeds the ClickStack observability user interface directly into the standard binary distribution, accessible through the local HTTP server port. Further enhancements include automatic min-max indexing for temporal columns in MergeTree tables, interactive time-based one-time password authentication in the client, and a high-performance prime number generator function.
Unordered mode for GCS ClickPipes is now available
ClickHouse Cloud has added unordered mode to its Google Cloud Storage (GCS) ClickPipes connector, enabling continuous data ingestion regardless of file naming or arrival sequence. Standard GCS ClickPipes rely on polling every 30 seconds and require files to arrive in strict lexicographical order, which causes out-of-order data and backfills to be ignored. Unordered mode replaces polling by consuming OBJECT_FINALIZE notifications from Google Cloud Pub/Sub whenever objects land in a bucket. State tracking is managed through a metadata store, and the connector automatically reprocesses batches upon failure while maintaining exactly-once insertion guarantees. Setup requires configuring a Pub/Sub topic and bucket notifications via tools like gcloud, followed by configuring the ClickPipe via the console or Terraform provider.
Securing our codebase with autonomous agents
After a fivefold increase in pull-request velocity over nine months, the team found static analysis and rigid code ownership insufficient for security at scale. It built a fleet of Cursor Automations powered by cloud agents, webhook and GitHub integrations, and a security MCP deployed as a just-in-time serverless Lambda function. The MCP provides persistent data, semantic deduplication using Gemini Flash 2.5, and consistently formatted reporting and follow-up actions, while Terraform standardizes review and deployment. Four templates cover PR review, segmented vulnerability hunting, dependency patching with reachability analysis and tests, and daily invariant-drift monitoring. Agentic Security Review has run on thousands of PRs in two months and prevented hundreds of issues from reaching production; the team says more automations are planned.
From resolutions to outcomes: Evolving how Fin delivers value
Fin is changing its pricing metric from “resolutions” to “outcomes” as its capabilities extend beyond fully autonomous support conversations. Historically, a resolution meant Fin solved an issue end to end without human involvement; the model gave teams a clear ROI comparison, and Fin’s average customer resolution rate now stands at 76% across more than 7,000 teams. Customers increasingly deploy Fin on complex, multi-step work involving external systems, policy constraints, and human oversight, where Fin may gather context and act before handing off for confirmation. An outcome counts when Fin successfully completes the action it was configured to perform, including a full resolution or a Procedure. The change keeps pricing simple while recognizing collaborative workflows, supporting compliance, and providing a metric that can scale as Fin takes on more roles beyond service.
From Fragmented Logs to Full-Stack Visibility with SolarWinds Papertrail
Heroku applications combine dynos, databases, third-party APIs, and user interactions, making fragmented logs, metrics, and dashboards costly to correlate during production incidents. The expanded SolarWinds Papertrail add-on addresses this “swivel-chair” workflow by unifying real-time log management, metrics dashboards, and alerting in one interface. It supports live tailing and contextual search through the web, CLI, or API, while ingesting native Heroku metrics for dyno CPU, memory, load averages, application throughput, response times, error rates, and database performance. Custom thresholds based on minimum, maximum, average, or summary values can filter transient-noise alerts, with notifications sent to Slack, PagerDuty, and Microsoft Teams. The post’s incident example correlates a response-time spike with R14 “Out of Memory” errors from Dyno worker.1, identifying an oversized batch job; Librato and AppOptics were deprecated at the end of January 2026.
Observability and OpenTelemetry: Introducing MongoDB Atlas Log Integration
During database latency spikes or unexpected outages, operations teams frequently waste valuable time downloading compressed archives and manually inspecting log files to isolate root causes. MongoDB Atlas resolves this operational friction by introducing a direct log integration feature for dedicated M10+ clusters. The system routes mongod, mongos, and audit logs directly to third-party tools such as Datadog, Splunk, Amazon S3, Google Cloud Storage, and Azure Blob Storage. Furthermore, built-in support for the OpenTelemetry standard enables teams to pipe database logs into any OTel-compatible logging backend. This setup eliminates operational silos, streamlines security auditing, and correlates database query diagnostics with application traces and infrastructure metrics in real time.
What's new in ClickStack. February '26.
ClickStack introduced several platform updates and query performance enhancements across both open-source and Cloud environments for February 2026. ClickHouse Cloud OpenAPI now exposes ClickStack resources including dashboards, alerts, sources, and webhooks to support automated configuration-as-code workflows. In addition, ClickHouse 26.2 embeds the ClickStack UI directly into the database binary with a 4.1 MB footprint for local exploration and diagnostics. Visualizations now support native SQL mode for tables, allowing users to join disparate datasets like logs and traces across injected dynamic time variables. Finally, query execution speeds improve through streaming skip indexes, index pruning on disjunctions, and an expanded 100,000-row lazy materialization limit alongside new threshold alerting on number charts.
Announcing chDB 4: write Pandas, run ClickHouse, now on Hex
chDB 4 introduces Data Store, a native component that allows users to write Pandas-like code that executes on the ClickHouse OLAP SQL engine. Standard Pandas workflows suffer from eager execution, excessive memory materialization, and lack of automatic query optimizations. To solve this, Data Store implements a four-layer architecture that lazily records operations as a chain of LazyOp objects and compiles them into optimized ClickHouse SQL plans upon evaluation triggers. When encountering operations unsupported by ClickHouse, the QueryPlanner splits the pipeline into segments, routing tasks between ClickHouse and Pandas while using Python's memoryview to minimize data copying overhead. This release also integrates natively into Hex notebooks.
Over 30 new plugins join the Cursor Marketplace
Cursor is adding more than 30 plugins to its Marketplace, including integrations from Atlassian, Datadog, GitLab, Glean, Hugging Face, monday.com, and PlanetScale. The plugins extend Cursor across infrastructure and productivity workflows: users can query observability data, manage GitLab repositories and pipelines, work with PlanetScale schemas and queries, handle Atlassian issues and backlogs, search company knowledge in Glean, and manage monday.com boards and tasks. Each plugin bundles capabilities such as MCPs with skills that instruct an agent how to use them, and those tools can support manually started or automatically invoked cloud agents. Cursor also supports community-built plugins, while Teams and Enterprise admins can create private team marketplaces. Automations can run agents on schedules or events with custom instructions.
