AI can produce code. Organizations still have to produce software. Agentic development is changing how software gets made, but it hasn’t changed what it costs to be wrong. Six months ago, we began publicly experimenting with agentic development environments. Around the same time, we introduced JetBrains Central as an open control and execution system for […]

Version 3.8 of the Toolbox App restores keyboard navigation in project and tool lists. On macOS, manual IDE updates stay available even when the system reports the installation directory as protected. IDE updates remain available on macOS macOS was sometimes incorrectly reporting an IDE installation directory as non-writable, causing the Toolbox App to needlessly disable […]

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 […]

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 […]

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 […]

Toolbox App 3.6 gives you better control over local storage and makes Windows installation failures easier to diagnose. Clean up removable Toolbox App data from Settings The Toolbox App now shows how much removable data it can safely clean up, providing a breakdown for the download cache, previous versions, temporary leftovers, and leftover tool directories. […]

Every developer has tools they rely on daily. The workflows they’ve built around them, the ways they’ve learned to move faster, debug smarter, and write better code – that kind of hands-on experience can be hard to put into words. We’re collaborating with LinkedIn to make it easier for you to showcase your expertise with […]

Many organizations are already deploying agentic workflows. Some are still experimental, while others are running in production. Once an AI agent can take action on behalf of a business, the question is no longer whether it’s useful, but what happens when something goes wrong. It’s tempting to focus on blame: the AI vendor, the manager, […]

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 […]

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 […]

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, […]

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 […]
