Quick Sight in Amazon Quick now supports sparklines, enabling authors to embed compact, inline trend visualizations directly within table cells. Sparklines allow users to display line or area charts inside individual table columns, providing at-a-glance trend context alongside their data without requiring separate chart visuals. Authors can add sparklines to tables by configuring a metric with a date dimension, and Quick automatically renders a miniature trend line within each row. This enhancement helps organizations quickly identify patterns, anomalies, and directional trends within tabular data — such as revenue over time by product, weekly ticket volumes by team, or monthly utilization by region — without navigating away from the table view. Sparklines support customization options including visual type (line or area), line color, line interpolation (linear, smooth, or stepped), and Y-axis behavior (shared or independent scaling across rows), giving authors flexibility to tailor ...

AWS today announced the general availability of Smithy-Java, an open-source Java framework for generating type-safe clients and standalone classes from Smithy models. Smithy-Java addresses one of the most consistently requested capabilities from enterprise Smithy users: production-grade Java SDK generation. The framework allows you to generate clients from models and async patterns that increase cognitive load and maintenance burden for developers building modern Java applications. Built on Java 21's virtual threads, Smithy-Java provides a blocking-style API that is both simpler to use and competitive in performance with complex async alternatives. Key benefits include auto-generated type-safe clients from Smithy, protocol flexibility with runtime protocol swapping for gradual migration paths. The GA release includes the Java client code generator, support for AWS SigV4 and all major AWS protocols (AWS JSON, REST-JSON, REST-XML, AWS Query, and Smithy RPCv2-CBOR), standalone type c...

A customer reported a problem with a system header file.

Azure Functions makes hosting MCP apps simple: build locally, create a secure endpoint, and deploy fast with Azure Developer CLI (azd). This guide shows you how using a weather app example. What are MCP Apps? MCP Apps let MCP servers return interactive HTML interfaces such as data visualizations, forms, dashboards that render directly inside MCP-compatible hosts (Visual Studio Code Copilot, Claude, ChatGPT, etc.). Learn more about MCP Apps in the official documentation . Having an interactive UI removes many restrictions that plain texts have, such as if your scenario has: Interactive Data : Replacing lists with clickable maps or charts for deep exploration. Complex Setup : Use one-page forms instead of long, back-and-forth questioning. Rich Media : Embed native viewers to pan, zoom, or rotate 3D models and documents. Live Updates : Maintain real-time dashboards that refresh without new prompts. Workflow Management : Handle multi-step tasks like approvals with navigation buttons...

Today, we're thrilled to announce that Microsoft Agent Framework has reached version 1.0 for both .NET and Python . This is the production-ready release: stable APIs, and a commitment to long-term support. Whether you're building a single assistant or orchestrating a fleet of specialized agents, Agent Framework 1.0 gives you enterprise-grade multi-agent orchestration, multi-provider model support, and cross-runtime interoperability via A2A and MCP. When we introduced Microsoft Agent Framework last October, we set out to unify the enterprise-ready foundations of Semantic Kernel with the innovative orchestrations of AutoGen into a single, open-source SDK. When we hit Release Candidate in February, we locked the feature surface and invited the community to put it through its paces. Today, after months of feedback, hardening, and real-world validation with customers and partners, Agent Framework 1.0 is ready for production. [video width="1280" height="720" m...

Amazon CloudWatch announces Query Studio in public preview, a unified query and visualization experience that brings native PromQL querying to CloudWatch for the first time. Query Studio combines PromQL and CloudWatch Metric Insights in a single interface, enabling you to query AWS vended metrics and OpenTelemetry metrics using the language you prefer without switching between consoles. Query Studio provides a visual form builder with autocomplete and a code editor with syntax highlighting, making it accessible to both new and experienced users. For example, a team running applications on Amazon EC2 can correlate their custom OpenTelemetry application metrics with EC2 vended metrics side by side, quickly spot issues across their stack, and create alarms or add charts to dashboards directly from their query results. Amazon CloudWatch Query Studio is available in public preview in US East (N. Virginia), US West (Oregon), Asia Pacific (Sydney), Asia Pacific (Singapore), and Europe (Ir...
