Four hot startups aim to keep AI data centers cool
Posted on August 24, 2025, Level beginner Resource Length short
Data centers consume up to one-third of their energy for cooling, driving demand for innovative solutions. Direct-to-chip cooling, a emerging technology, uses cold plates to target heat sources directly on CPUs/GPUs, improving efficiency and sustainability. Traditional cooling relies on large chillers and water systems, while direct-to-chip cooling attaches cold plates to processors. These plates use liquid or advanced materials to absorb heat locally, reducing reliance on centralized cooling and lowering energy use. By Heather Clancy.

Amazon DocumentDB serverless: Auto-scaling database solution for variable workloads
Posted on August 16, 2025, Level intermediate Resource Length medium
The primary goal of Amazon DocumentDB Serverless is to simplify operational overhead and reduce costs for developers using DocumentDB, a MongoDB-compatible database service. AWS recently announced the general availability (GA) of Amazon DocumentDB Serverless, an on-demand, auto-scaling configuration for Amazon DocumentDB. However, it's important to note that while AWS markets it as "serverless," it aligns more with an auto-scaling model rather than a scale-to-zero model, which is a key differentiator often associated with true serverless offerings.
