Most AI teams treat context as an application problem, optimizing retrieval pipelines, vector indexes, and prompts. But the real bottleneck may be the data layer. Learn why fragmented context stacks create latency and consistency challenges, and explore the principles of an agent-ready infrastructure for production AI systems. Live Webinar, August 27th, 2026 — Save Your Seat.

Thomas Betts talks with Clare Liguori, the technical lead on the open source Strands Agents SDK. The conversation covers how Strands Agents has grown from a Python SDK to a full agent harness running in production. Clare shares some lessons learned from building agents at scale, shifting to a model-driven architecture, and what comes next as the LLMs that underpin agents continue to improve. (Podcast)

The bottleneck in a mature SOC is rarely analyst triage; rather, it is the detection-engineering team's ability to keep the rule base aligned with a threat landscape that evolves faster than rules can be written. Learn how multi-agent system for production security operations has reduced mean times to detect and to respond by 40% and compressed the human work required by 12x. (Article)

Jörg Schad explains how to tame the complex "data management hairball" to build scalable, safe architectures for AI. He shares how autonomous data products act like containers for data, encapsulating pipelines, schemas, and metadata. Discover how progressive tool discovery via protocols like MCP limits context rot, enforces governance policies, and ensures reliable, multi-modal access. (Presentation with transcript included)

Jake Mannix discusses moving AI agents past chaotic "1970s BASIC" architectures. He shares how implementing an intermediate protocol layer allows engineering leaders to build versioned, encapsulated "virtual tools." This design enables interface mapping, dynamic schema projection, and runtime taint tracking to proactively eliminate data exfiltration risks without slowing velocity.

A configuration change in AWS's bill computation system showed customers estimated bills in the billions and trillions of dollars for over 24 hours. AWS's own alarms detected the anomalies but failed to halt bill generation or page engineers; customer escalations alerted the company 4.5 hours later. Budget and cost anomaly alerts were disabled platform-wide during mitigation. (News)

Ink & Switch published bijou64, a variable-length integer encoding where every number has exactly one byte representation, closing the canonicality bug class behind attacks on PKCS#1, JWT libraries, and Bitcoin. The design also decodes two to ten times faster than LEB128. Community ports to Elixir, Go, Perl, and Java followed, while HN commenters debated SIMD performance and residual range checks. (News)

The article discusses an experiment where a code assistant had to design an agentic system using LangChain4j documentation. The assistant created a coding framework capable of writing, testing, and debugging code autonomously. Results showed that two architectural patterns—supervisor and workflow—offered different trade-offs between flexibility and execution speed during debugging tasks. (Article)

When a new platform team set out to implement their roadmap through forced workflows with poor documentation, developer experience declined. Success came from simplifying governance, prioritizing what mattered, and rolling out compliance incrementally through prevention, detection, and communication. Empathy, focus, and shared purpose drove successful adoption. (News)
