The United States is investing $500 billion into AI infrastructure, aiming to lead the global AI race. This initiative, backed by OpenAI, SoftBank, and Oracle, focuses on building data centers, chips, and scalable systems. But here's the catch: APIs are the key to making this investment work. APIs are the backbone of this effort, and their success will determine whether this $500 billion gamble pays off.

Modern data systems demand flexibility, tool interoperability, and strong data integrity. Legacy formats often create barriers with rigid schemas, inefficient partitioning, and weak transactional guarantees. Apache Iceberg overcomes these limitations with a modular design that decouples metadata from data storage, enabling smooth-schema changes, efficient query pruning, and ACID compliance across engines. This article explores Iceberg’s technical foundations.

Serverless Computing is considered to be the fourth wave of computing where x86 servers, virtual machines, and containers represented the first three generations. With this new paradigm, developers can squarely focus on the code and without the need to deal with the underlying infrastructure. They never have to plan the number of servers, amount of storage, and the network topology of deployments. Since the platform deals with one function at a time, and functions are the fundamental deployment units, this model is often called Functions as a Service (FaaS).
