📈

Perspectives

By October 2025, domestic companies are showing increasing interest in cloud-native security and zero-trust architecture. As a core component of zero-trust, the authorization engine OpenFGA fills the gap in open-source options for fine-grained and large-scale authorization in China. Many domestic companies are still at the RBAC or ACL stage for their permission systems, facing high self-research costs and maintenance difficulties when dealing with complex permissions in microservices and multi-tenant environments. OpenFGA provides a ready-made, Google-validated 'best practice' reference. If OpenFGA can gain more adoption cases and community contributions in the Chinese market, it has the potential to become the de facto standard in domestic cloud-native authorization. However, local support and integration with the domestic cloud ecosystem will be key to its success.

Amazon Keyspaces Now Supports Logged Batches, Enabling Atomic Multi-Statement Operations

AWS - Databases•Published on November 11

Insight•Cloud Computing & Backend•Score: 8/10

Amazon KeyspacesApache CassandraLogged BatchesAtomic OperationsData Consistency

🔬

Tech Insights

Logged batches allow multiple write operations (INSERT, UPDATE, DELETE) to be executed as a single atomic unit, either all succeeding or all failing. This ensures data consistency and durability when handling de-normalized data across multiple partitions or tables, preventing dirty data. Keyspaces achieves concurrency isolation through a lightweight locking mechanism, blocking conflicts when multiple batches attempt to modify the same row, which differs from Cassandra's 'last writer wins' strategy. This stronger isolation is crucial for applications requiring high data integrity. This feature is free and billed based on capacity units used. Additionally, CloudWatch metrics and CloudTrail audit logs now support monitoring of batch operations, providing comprehensive observability for tracking performance and compliance audits.

⚠️

Notable

Despite the atomicity guarantee, logged batches introduce additional coordination overhead, leading to higher latency compared to single writes or non-logged batches. Therefore, it's not a universal solution and should be used cautiously only when atomicity is truly needed, with batches kept as small as possible. In multi-region deployments, the atomicity and isolation of logged batches are limited to the source region. When replicated to the target region, these writes are treated as asynchronous single-statement executions, which may result in brief periods of data inconsistency in the secondary region, posing a challenge for businesses requiring strict cross-region consistency. Functional limitations still exist, including a maximum of 100 operations per batch (50 for static columns), 4MB maximum payload, no support for IN operators, no support for range operators (>, <, etc.), and no support for counter updates. These constraints may make it difficult to directly migrate complex batch logic.

📈

Perspectives

AWS's continuous enhancement of Keyspaces' compatibility with Apache Cassandra is a move to capture the existing market. For enterprises struggling with the operational costs and complexity of self-managed Cassandra, Keyspaces offers a more convenient and cost-effective alternative. Domestic cloud providers are also actively developing Cassandra-compatible services in the NoSQL space. Keyspaces' latest step will push domestic vendors to align features and optimize performance more rapidly. For architects, more options are available, but we must also be wary of compatibility traps, as cloud service providers' 'compatibility' is often not 100% equivalent to the open source version. Atomic operations are a core capability of databases, and Keyspaces has now filled this gap, strengthening its position in enterprise applications. However, we should also remind the team that 'atomicity' and 'high performance' are often mutually exclusive; trade-offs must be made based on specific business scenarios.

📈

Perspectives

By October 2025, cloud adoption is common among domestic enterprises, but hybrid cloud storage and data tiering management still pose significant challenges, especially in traditional industries. While AWS offers a mature approach, domestic enterprises are more likely to consider products from local providers like Alibaba Cloud and Huawei Cloud. Industry 4.0 and smart manufacturing are national strategies, with the collection, storage, management, and analysis of massive OT data (Operational Technology Data) at the core. This case study illustrates how to transform these data from a cost center to a value center, which holds reference value for domestic manufacturing transformation. When selecting similar solutions, domestic enterprises prioritize localization, data compliance, and overall total cost of ownership (TCO). How to integrate international leading solutions with China's national conditions is a challenge that both vendors and enterprises need to address.

⚠️

Notable

Although performance improvements are significant, the atomicity of Logged Batches introduces additional coordination overhead, potentially leading to higher latency. This is also mentioned in the official documentation. Therefore, do not expect it to solve all problems; misuse can lead to adverse effects. There are still several limitations, such as a maximum of 100 operations per batch, 4MB maximum payload, no support for IN operators, no support for range operators (>, <, etc.), and no support for counter updates. These constraints mean that in some complex transaction scenarios, you still need to find alternative approaches. In multi-region deployments, the atomicity and isolation of Logged Batches are only effective in the source region, with replication to the target region being asynchronous single-statement execution. This remains a pitfall for businesses requiring strong cross-region consistency.

📈

Perspectives

By October 2025, domestic internet giants and leading enterprises have largely moved past the 'data silo' phase and are advancing toward data middleware/data platformization. Spotify's experience confirms the trend of 'platform as a product' and 'self-service', but many companies are still debating the boundaries and responsibilities of the 'middle platform'. Emphasizing data governance and privacy compliance is essential in the context of China's Data Security Law and Personal Information Protection Law. The integration of cloud-native infrastructure with developer portals, such as Kubernetes Operators and Backstage, is key to improving development efficiency and data platform utilization. Domestic cloud providers and enterprises are exploring similar solutions, but achieving Spotify's level of maturity requires time and cultural transformation.

CNCF and SlashData Survey Reveals 15.6 Million Cloud-Native Developers

CNCF•Published on November 11

Insight•Cloud Computing and Backend•Score: 9/10

Cloud NativeDeveloper EcosystemHybrid CloudMulti-CloudAI Integration

🔬

Tech Insights

In my view: - Cloud-native is no longer 'the future,' but 'the present': 15.6 million developers, 77% of backend developers have already adopted cloud-native technologies, which is alarming. This directly indicates that our team's investment in cloud-native is entirely correct, and we must continue to deepen it. - Infrastructure strategy diversification: The adoption of hybrid cloud and multi-cloud has significantly increased, confirming enterprises' pursuit of elasticity, cost, and vendor neutrality. Our architecture design must consider these dimensions and cannot be stuck with a single cloud provider. - Challenges and opportunities of AI integration with cloud-native: Only 41% of AI developers have adopted cloud-native, but their reliance on infrastructure is deep. The rise of MLaaS platforms shows that AI developers prefer abstracting away the underlying operations. This reminds us: when providing AI infrastructure services, we must either offer highly abstracted managed services or provide extremely convenient cloud-native toolchains to lower the entry barrier for AI teams.

📈

Perspectives

In my view, this report serves as a warning: if our team is still hesitating whether to fully embrace cloud-native, we have already 'missed the boat'. The 15.6 million figure means this is a red ocean market, highly competitive. We must focus on differentiation and value creation. - AI integration with cloud-native is the next 'goldmine', especially for elasticity, cost, and operations optimization in AI training and inference. This is the top priority for technical investment in the coming years. Platform engineering will play a crucial role here, by encapsulating cloud-native capabilities and AI workflows, reducing the cognitive load on AI engineers, and improving efficiency. Otherwise, no matter how good the underlying technology is, AI engineers won't use it, and it's all for nothing.

Snowflake Launches Hosted MCP Server, Fully Supporting Secure and Governed Data Agents

InfoQ - AI & LLM•Published on November 12

Insight•AI and Frontier Technologies•Score: 8/10

SnowflakeMCPAI AgentsData GovernanceCortex

🔬

Tech Insights

1. MCP (Model Context Protocol): In my view, it is essentially the API gateway of the AI era, responsible for standardizing AI agents' data access, solving the industry-wide challenge of interoperability between AI agents and external data systems. This approach is correct; without standards, there can be no scaling. 2. Hosted Services and Unified Governance: Snowflake offers its MCP server as a hosted service and seamlessly integrates it into its existing security governance framework. This means enterprises can access structured and unstructured data under data security compliance without additional infrastructure deployment and management. For domestic financial and government sectors with high data security requirements, this is like delivering a solution when someone is just about to fall asleep. 3. Cortex Ecosystem Integration: Deep integration with Cortex Analyst, Cortex Search, and Cortex Knowledge Expansion not only provides powerful data analysis and retrieval capabilities but also introduces third-party authorized content, significantly enriching the AI agent's context. This makes AI no longer 'water without a source' but capable of reasoning based on trusted, high-quality data, naturally improving decision-making quality.

⚠️

Notable

1. The article emphasizes open standards but essentially presents a solution within the Snowflake ecosystem. Its generality and migration costs still need to be considered. For companies with mature data lake/warehouse systems that do not use Snowflake, this solution may not be as attractive. 2. The claim of 'eliminating integration complexity and management burden' is more relevant to Snowflake's existing customers. For new users, the learning curve and ecosystem dependency still exist. After all, no vendor can truly 'eliminate' all complexities; they only transfer or encapsulate them. 3. The popularity of the MCP protocol and community contribution activity are key to whether it can genuinely become an 'open standard'. Currently, more participation from leading vendors is needed to drive this, otherwise it will remain a 'private standard' among a few players.

📈

Perspectives

1. In the domestic market, data security and compliance are the first priority for enterprise-level AI deployment. Snowflake's move clearly targets this critical point. In my view, leading domestic cloud vendors and big data platforms (such as Alibaba Cloud, Tencent Cloud, Huawei Cloud, as well as StarRing and Dahuoyun) will inevitably launch similar 'AI agent data connection and governance' solutions within the next year, possibly even more deeply customized and optimized based on their own ecosystems. 2. The concept of 'AI agents' is gaining traction in China, but many enterprises are still in the POC stage. The core reason is the 'last mile' issue of data connection and governance. Whoever provides a ready-to-use, secure, and trustworthy solution will seize the initiative and gain the trust of large clients. 3. Predicting that in the next year, China will see a surge in AI agent platforms based on such protocols or private protocols. Their core competitiveness will lie in the breadth of data connections, depth of governance, and richness of the ecosystem. Those who talk only about AI capabilities without addressing data governance are just playing games.

Tech Insights

China's Changzheng-12 rocket successfully launched the 'State Grid Constellation' internet satellites, bringing the total number of satellites in orbit to 104. China has completed 72 launches this year (2025), setting a new historical record. This demonstrates China's accelerated layout in low-earth orbit satellite internet, with significant potential for commercial space in the future. Honda reduced its profit forecast for the 2025 fiscal year, mainly due to rising costs, semiconductor shortages, and declining car sales. This reflects the challenges traditional automakers face during electrification transitions and supply chain pressures. XPeng's 'Traveler X2' flying car made its debut at the Auto Show in Toulouse, France, showcasing the future of urban short-haul mobility. This indicates that low-altitude economy and flying cars are moving from concept to commercialization, although they are still far from mass adoption, their technological iteration speed is worth attention.

📈

Perspectives

China's investment in commercial space and low-earth orbit satellite internet signals a transformation in communication infrastructure, which will have a profound impact on various B2B and B2C applications that rely on network connectivity. Our team should pay attention to the development of low-earth orbit satellite communication technology and its integration with terrestrial networks, which could become a new traffic entry point and business model in the coming years. The US government shutdown lasted 41 days, with the consumer confidence index dropping to the second-lowest since 1978. This again proves the significant impact of political uncertainty on the economy, and for outbound businesses, geopolitical risks and policy stability are more unpredictable variables than technology. Flying cars, while impressive, are still in the concept validation and limited demonstration phase. To achieve true commercialization, they need not only technological maturity but also overcoming regulatory, airspace management, infrastructure, and cost challenges. Don't be fooled by PPTs—these vehicles are still far from becoming part of everyday life for ordinary people.
