We’re about to start rolling out a new set of AI capabilities that provide shared context, reusable agentic workflows, organization-level governance, and cost control for software production. Developers use different AI tools depending on the task – from JetBrains IDEs to terminal-based agents such as Claude Code, Codex, and other emerging solutions. That freedom is…
We’re proud to share that JetBrains was recognized in the 2026 Gartner® Magic Quadrant™ for DevOps Platforms for Ability to Execute and Completeness of Vision. JetBrains solutions for DevOps include Qodana for code quality, TeamCity for CI/CD, and YouTrack for planning and project management. The DevOps landscape is crowded, and a lot of vendors compete…
Toolbox App 3.7 enables JVM memory optimization by default, improves the reliability of updates and session expiration recovery, and ensures compatibility with Windows Smart App Control. Action required: Update Toolbox App on Windows If you’re using an older version of the Toolbox App (3.4 or earlier) for Windows, update to v3.7 or later to keep…
For us lot, who strive to clean up and make our code look pretty, Kotlin has a nifty little feature. It’s called type aliasing, and we can harness the functionality with the keyword typealias. This week, we will be seeing where and how type aliasing makes sense and how to start using type aliases in…
Investing in static code analysis tools might seem straightforward, but finding one that truly fits your team can be tough. Most tools promise the usual benefits: cleaner code, fewer bugs, better security, and more consistency in code reviews. Yet in reality, there’s a big difference between a tool the team embraces and one that everyone…
Two valid ways of writing code. One place to own it. Quick version for AI-news-tired readers: press here There are two ways developers create code now: The classic way: By typing, refactoring, debugging, and building up intent line by line. The new way: Through collaborating with AI – sometimes via autocomplete and other times by…
Cloud9 and JetBrains have been working together on projects that connect software development and esports, from the Sky’s The Limit hackathon to custom tools built for live events, podcasts, and team content. One of the latest results of this collaboration is Cloud9 JetStream, a custom theme for JetBrains IDEs. The theme brings Cloud9’s visual identity…
AlphaEvolve is a Google DeepMind algorithm-discovery system that uses Gemini to generate, test, and refine possible algorithm improvements. Its job is not to answer questions; it searches for faster ways to solve complex algorithmic problems. We tried it on a narrow but important part of IntelliJ-based IDEs: indexing, the background work that makes navigation, search,…
Toolbox App 3.5 focuses on making daily work smoother and managed development environments easier to monitor. The app now supports interface zooming with familiar shortcuts, provides OpenTelemetry metrics for enterprise remote development connections, and handles several long-standing reliability issues more gracefully. Remote development observability The Toolbox App now emits OpenTelemetry metrics for remote development connection…
Most programming languages follow a familiar trajectory: early experimental releases, rapid iteration, and then – at some point – a 1.0 version that signals stability and the potential for serious adoption. Zig hasn’t followed that well-trodden path. What could be the reason? Andrew Kelley quit his job in 2018 to build a programming language. Eight…
