Eclipse Foundation

Open developer infrastructure matters. A new article from @devopsdotcom looks at how the Eclipse Foundation is expanding the scope and reach of the Open VSX Registry, the vendor-neutral extension marketplace for tools built on the VS Code extension API. As developer platforms and AI-enabled IDEs continue to grow, Open VSX plays a critical role in delivering trusted extensions across the open ecosystem.

⛵ New keynote announcement for Open Community Experience! We’re excited to welcome Dr. @Axel Uhl, Chief Development Architect at SAP, as a keynote speaker at #OCX26, taking place 21–23 April in Brussels. In his keynote, “Olympic sailing on #EclipseFdn technology: Eclipse Azimuth sailing analytics,” Axel will take us behind the scenes of a powerful analytics platform used to visualise and analyse competitive sailing. Originally developed by SAP to model the complexity of regattas, the system creates a digital twin of races on the water, helping commentators, teams, and fans understand every manoeuvre in real time. At its core? Open source technologies from the Eclipse Foundation, including Equinox OSGi and Jetty. Join us in Brussels to hear how #EclipseFdn technologies helped this project go all the way to the Olympics. 🔍 More about his talk: hubs.la/Q047hndr0 🎟 Register now: hubs.la/Q047hmjs0 #opensource #software #EclipseAzimuth #conference

Most developers don’t think about extension registries, but AI-native developer platforms depend on them. The Open VSX Registry now serves 300M+ downloads per month, powering extensions across a growing ecosystem of AI-powered IDEs and cloud development environments. New analysis from Efficiently Connected explores why extension registries are becoming critical infrastructure for modern software development, and why security, scale, and governance now matter more than ever.

Everyone is talking about AI coding tools. Fewer people are talking about the ecosystems behind them. Modern developer tools increasingly rely on extensions. Those extensions need a place to be discovered, distributed, and trusted. The Open VSX Registry just surpassed 300M monthly downloads, quietly powering extensions for a growing ecosystem of AI-native IDEs and cloud development environments. In many ways, extension registries are becoming the package managers of the developer tool world. Interesting coverage from ADTmag on why this matters as developer platforms evolve.

The Open VSX Registry is becoming critical infrastructure for modern developer platforms. A new article from The Register explores how industry support, including a strategic investment from AWS, is helping strengthen the reliability, performance, and security of this vendor-neutral extension registry operated by the Eclipse Foundation. As AI-native development environments and VS Code–compatible tools continue to grow, Open VSX plays an increasingly important role in delivering trusted extensions to developers worldwide.

AI agents are now hitting registries like Open VSX at 20 times the rate of human developers. That surge is pushing downloads past 300 million per month and forcing a rethink of how we fund and stabilise open source infrastructure. We’re in a race to build the asphalt for an AI superhighway, where traffic isn’t just increasing, it’s accelerating every millisecond. 🎧 Listen to the podcast “Why AI agents are redefining the open source supply chain.” Thabang Mashologu (Eclipse Foundation) joins Alan Shimel from hubs.la/Q046xVW30 to unpack what this means for open source infrastructure: hubs.la/Q046x-nj0
