Oct 1, 2026 By Estefany Aguilar In NodeSource
Node.js 20 reached End-of-Life (EOL) on April 30, 2026. Now, the consequences of that lifecycle milestone are becoming increasingly visible across the JavaScript ecosystem. GitHub Actions removed Node.js 20 from its runners on September 23, 2026, moving JavaScript actions to Node.js 24. Vercel will follow on October 1, 2026, when Node.js 20 will no longer be available for new Builds and Functions. These are not isolated platform decisions.

Human Judgment Is the Missing Variable in Your AI Strategy

Sep 30, 2026 By Jackie Jubien In Appian
Across teams, organizations, and industries, people are starting with AI instead of the problem they want to solve. As a result, AI outputs from different tools: This is a process failure, and it's accelerating. Human-in-the-loop (HITL) AI is a framework that integrates human oversight directly into the machine learning lifecycle. Rather than relying on fully autonomous systems, HITL uses humans and machines collaboratively to train models, evaluate outputs, and handle complex decision-making.

API + AI Summit 2026 Launch Recap

Sep 30, 2026 By Alex Drag In Kong
Standing up a production agent means taking it through six stages: At API & AI Summit, we announced the evolution of Kong Konnect into the AI Connectivity Platform and announced a slate of launches built around that idea. Here's what we launched, where each piece fits, and what you can use today. An agent that only runs when a person prompts it isn't autonomous.

Introducing Advanced AI Observability: See the Whole Agent Journey

Sep 30, 2026 By Alex Drag In Kong
Traditional observability was built around requests. A request comes in. A service processes it. A response goes out. You trace what happened in between. That model works well for APIs. It breaks down for AI. With agents, a single user request can trigger multiple model calls. An agent might invoke a tool, call another agent, query an MCP server, retry a model, hit a guardrail, and call another tool before finally producing a response. And all of this happens non-determinstically.
