Details of incidents and what we did to prevent more in the future Starting in May, we had a series of feature launches with agentic AI partners that gained far more momentum than we predicted. In two short timespans, the rate of new database creation increased more than 5x, and the rate of branch creation increased more than 50x. While we were humbled by the uptick, the significant burst in operational load caused a lot of strain in the Neon platform, manifesting as more incidents over the cou

CNET's key takeaways I've been using Google's Pixel 9 Pro for months. I like its solid overall performance and quirky new AI skills. The element that stands out most is how easy it is to use. Android phones often get a bad rap for being overly convoluted. And to be fair, that's often well justified.
