Meta is developing plans for a cloud infrastructure business, selling access to AI compute power and models. The move would pit it against the big cloud providers like Amazon Web Services, Google Cloud, and Microsoft Azure.
The panelists explain the realities of running AI systems reliably at scale. While building models is solved, maintaining production databases under constant pressure is not. They discuss the emerging architectural decisions separating teams that scale gracefully from those facing catastrophic outag
Editor’s note: Today’s post is by Scott Gatreau, Director of Information Security, at Turner Industries, a privately owned industrial contractor that provides construction, maintenance, and fabrication services. To streamline their one-stop shop service model and support their mission to reduce cost
The future does not belong to the person who works the hardest. It belongs to the person who builds systems that keep working after they walk away. A coffee shop around lunch is an interesting place to watch modern work. Someone is bouncing between Slack notifications, another person is rewriting th
Google has placed limits on Meta’s use of its Gemini AI models because it cannot provide as much computing capacity as the social media company wanted, the Financial Times reported on Sunday. The restrictions have affected several Google clients, with Meta hit particularly hard. The move has had a k
Organizations are racing to apply AI across the enterprise, and infrastructure is one of the most compelling targets: automated provisioning, The post Agentic infrastructure operations begin with accurate, reliable infrastructure data appeared first on The New Stack.
Cloudflare Security Insights system now processes over 120 scans per second, providing frequent insights for all customers. By optimizing Kafka consumers, Postgres queries, and our API, we scaled our throughput 10x without adding hardware.
Pipeline & Prompts | Byte size guides on DevOps, Cloud and AI When I first started working in Cloud and Infrastructure, I assumed most servers ran Windows — because that's what I grew up using on my laptop. Then I got access to my first cloud environment and was greeted with a black screen, a blinki
This is part 3 of the Adaptive Model Routing series. Part 1 built an LLM categorizer with Groq — 8 categories, 3 tiers. Part 2 added k-NN embedding lookup in shadow mode, discovered 83% tier accuracy, and found 61% cost savings on paper. This post covers what happened next. When Phase 2 ended, I had
Something strange happened in late 2025. Engineers at Anthropic noticed that their AI agents were choking on their own capabilities. The more tools they connected, the worse their systems performed. A typical setup linking five common enterprise services (GitHub, Slack, Sentry, Grafana, and Splunk)
How URL Shorteners Generate Unique Links Every day, millions of people share links using services like TinyURL, Bitly, and Rebrandly. Instead of sharing a long and messy URL, these platforms convert it into a short, clean link that is easier to remember and share. But have you ever wondered how thes
The Pain Point Exposed by the AWS Outages June 2026 · An analysis of infrastructure concentration On the night of May 7, 2026 (around 7:48 PM US Eastern Time), nearly all trading on Coinbase stopped. The cause was neither the market nor a hack. In a single availability zone (use1-az4) of AWS us-east
We investigated why firmware updates were causing our core servers to take four hours to reboot. By diving into UEFI data structures and iPXE automation, we eliminated unnecessary timeouts and cut boot times back down to minutes.
Why I Open-Sourced Only Layer Zero For the past months I’ve been building a deterministic infrastructure foundation in Rust. Today I decided to publicly expose only the lowest layer of that system: "sovereign-kernel" This layer is intentionally minimal and highly constrained. Its purpose is not “fea
After years of working across capital markets, client accounts, investment management, investor relations, and financial-market advisory, I have started moving into a new direction: building practical software systems that connect financial-market knowledge with artificial intelligence and modern en

Dynamic module sources With the Terraform 1.15 release, practitioners can now use variables within Terraform dependencies, encompassing aspects such as module sources and versions. For example, we are introducing a new const attribute for variables. This attribute takes a boolean value (true/false)
