Hi Community,
We have some exciting news! It's time for the next InterSystems writing competition:
✍️ InterSystems Technical Article Contest 2026 ✍️
Write an article on any topic related to the InterSystems products and services.
🎁 Gifts for everyone: A special gift for each author participating in the competition!
Hello to all the esteemed members of the InterSystems developer community in Spanish!
Although I often consult the developer community and have occasionally left a question here, this will be my first article, and what better occasion to do so than by participating in the 3rd technical article contest.
The topic I will cover in this article is the different tools that InterSystems IRIS provides us to optimize both the databases and the queries we run, as well as the new types of storage and data.

Picture a dark room. The only light comes from a wall of displays and a blinking prompt that politely informs you:
“LINK TO M-U5K-3T: HIGH LATENCY – DIRECT CONTROL DISABLED.”
Perfect.
You are supposed to be a Rover Commander in the Musketeer Corps. Somewhere absurdly far away, you have an autonomous unit parked on a hostile exoplanet. It wants you dead, but it’s also covered in minerals that could fund a small civilization.
The ore on M-U5K-3T is everywhere. Unfortunately, everything else on the surface is actively trying to kill you.
So, we don't pilot. We script.
I created iris-budget app for the InterSystems Full Stack Contest in 2026. By full stack, we mean a frontend web or mobile application that inserts, updates, or deletes data in InterSystems IRIS via REST API, Native API, ODBC/JDBC, or Embedded Python.
My app uses multiple REST APIs to add a new category or retrieve a list of categories of expenses and income.
I inherited /csp/coffee from module.xml in iris-fullstack-template.
For this project, I created a swagger file called "budget.json.
You’ve seen how tools like Lovable are shaking up web development. People are spinning up entire apps just by talking to an AI, almost like pair‑programming on steroids.
Now imagine bringing that same “vibe coding” experience into healthcare. know, it sounds crazy. Healthcare is complex, full of regulations, and usually gives us a headache just thinking about the interoperability rules.
That’s exactly the space where withLove lives: an AI‑Native, Low‑Code platform built entirely on InterSystems IRIS for Health.

Hi Community,
We're super excited and thankful to our 52 InterSystems colleagues who participated in the 📺 Demo Games for InterSystems Sales Engineers 📺 and created 19 amazing videos.
Our colleagues worldwide put their creativity, technical know-how, and demo magic to the test. What started as an internal contest to showcase technical skill and demo excellence became a true stage for imagination with some entries looking less like demos and more like short films, complete with acting, storytelling, and even a cinematic touch.
Also, we'd like to thank all the members of the Community who took the time to watch them and vote for their favourites!

If you’ve ever watched a true artisan—whether a potter turning mud into a masterpiece or a luthier bringing raw wood to life as a marvelous guitar—you know that magic isn’t in the materials, but in care, craft, and process. I know this firsthand: my handmade electric guitar is a daily inspiration, but I’ll admit—creating something like that is a talent I don’t have.
Yet, in the digital world, I often see people hoping for “magic” from generative AI by typing vague, context-free prompts like “build an app.” The results are usually frustratingly shallow—no artistry, no finesse.
