  1. Presentation: Panel: Who Builds the Frontend Now? (And What Breaks When They Do)

    The panelists explain how AI tools and vibe coding reshape frontend and mobile engineering. They share insights on evolving junior developer roles, managing AI-generated code review fatigue, designing systems for autonomous agents, enforcing architectural guardrails, and navigating economic shifts in open-source software sustainability.

  3. Amazon ECS Gateway Arrives with Generated Hostnames and No Custom Domain Support

    AWS has released Amazon ECS Gateway, an account-level ingress resource letting platform teams define networking once and application teams opt services in with a connector. Each service gets a generated hostname and routing is host-based, and neither the announcement nor the documentation covers custom domains. By Steef-Jan Wiggers

  5. Docker Urges Isolation and Governance for AI Agent Security

    Docker has published a guide to five security risks that arise when AI agents are allowed to browse, run code and call tools with limited human oversight. They argue that the autonomy that makes agents useful also makes conventional application security controls insufficient. The company positions isolation and governance, rather than model improvements alone, as the main defences. By Matt Saunders

  7. Article: The App Is Just the Tip: What It Takes to Build Mobile Infrastructure at Scale

    What determines whether your app feels fast, ships often, and stays stable at scale is not the app itself. It is what sits behind it. This article is about that layer: what it does, why it exists, what it takes to design it correctly, and what happens when you try to migrate a live, high-traffic product onto it without a safety net.

  15. Presentation: Beyond the Harness: Canvas for AI Agents

    Nimisha Asthagiri shares how applying proven product engineering and architecture principles creates a bounded canvas for AI agents. She explains how this model provides agents with bounded autonomy, continuous drift detection, and decision records to scale software development resiliently. By Nimisha Asthagiri

  21. Uber Builds MCP Gateway to Govern Access to 800+ Servers and 5,000+ AI Agent Tools

    Uber has built an MCP Gateway to standardize how AI agents discover and invoke internal services across more than 800 MCP servers and 5,000 tools. The gateway separates tool registration from runtime execution and includes automated API discovery, access controls, sensitive data redaction, incremental tool discovery through Omni MCP, and response filtering.

  23. Article: Systemic Approach to Memory, Knowledge, and Context in Agentic AI Architectures

    The article argues that reliable agentic AI architecture depends on a context engine that selects, injects, compresses, and expires information before it reaches the model. It separates context, memory, and knowledge, and recommends tiered memory, curated knowledge, and token budgeting. It also covers common anti-patterns, such as context stuffing and stale data loops, with mitigations. By Adi Polak

  25. Podcast: Educating an Architect: A Conversation with Luca Mezzalira

    In this podcast, Michael Stiefel spoke to Luca Mezzalira about software architecture as a socio-technical discipline that balances technological design with an organization's social and managerial context. They explored how architectural choices must be adapted to a company's unique culture and team structure rather than relying blindly on universal best practices. By Luca Mezzalira

  29. AWS Capacity Largely Sold out through 2027, with On-Demand Headroom Reserved

    Amazon CEO Andy Jassy says AWS’s large committed cloud capacity is largely sold out through 2027, with part of 2028 already allocated, while the company continues to reserve headroom for On Demand, EC2 and Bedrock. Practitioners discussing the remarks report difficulty obtaining On Demand capacity for ordinary EC2 instances, and similar constraints at other providers. By Steef-Jan Wiggers

  33. Cloudflare’s Post-Quantum GeoKey Manager Enters Closed Beta Without Attribute-Based Encryption

    Cloudflare has moved a post-quantum rebuild of GeoKey Manager into closed beta, guarding geo-fenced keys with hybrid ML-KEM-768 and X25519 instead of the attribute-based encryption used since 2022. Keys live only in kernel memory on verified regional servers, and any failed check rejects the request, a fail-closed choice practitioners ask could cause a regional outage. GA is planned for Q1 2027. By Steef-Jan Wiggers
