Combatting Sophisticated Cybersecurity Threats with AI
As AI continues to evolve, businesses are rapidly integrating it into their operations. But with this growth comes an urgent need to prioritise cybersecurity because ignoring security risks in an AI-driven landscape can leave businesses vulnerable to sophisticated threats. Cybersecurity isn’t about relying on a single tool but rather building layered defences.
Considerations when doing AI on Kubernetes
As more teams start weaving generative AI (GenAI) into their apps and workflows, Kubernetes naturally comes up as the go-to platform. It’s a tried-and-tested solution for managing containerized workloads, but AI workloads are a different beast. Here’s a rundown of what you should think about—and which tools can help—when running AI workloads in cloud-native environments. GenAI Workloads Need Event-Driven Infrastructure GenAI features often hinge on user prompts, streaming data, or background jobs.
The Debug Trap: Why Smart Engineers Waste Hours on Trivial Problems
Last month, I watched three senior engineers burn four hours debugging a “mysterious” Kubernetes issue that turned out to be a kubectl version upgrade. The same week, another team spent an entire night hunting phantom load balancer bugs when a certificate rotation had broken mobile clients with certificate pinning. These aren’t stories about incompetent engineers.
Beyond Terraform Modules: Infrastructure Design by Contract
It’s 2AM. You’re staring at a failed deployment pipeline, trying to figure out why your EKS cluster can’t find the right subnets. You’ve checked the variables, verified the outputs, and triple-checked your depends_on statements. Everything looks correct, yet it still fails. This scenario plays out daily across organizations that have adopted Terraform.
The Signal in the Storm: Why Chasing More Data Misses the Point

Combining GenAI & Agentic AI to build scalable, autonomous systems
A common pattern in today’s AI adoption is that businesses are investing heavily in GenAI capabilities, yet many are leaving significant value on the table by failing to pair it with Agentic AI. This matters because while GenAI can generate content, ideas, or responses, it can’t act on them. However, when combined with Agentic AI, your systems shift from being reactive and prompt-driven to autonomous and outcome-oriented.

From Terraform Modules to Platform Services: Simplify Infrastructure Management with the Kratix CLI
If you’ve worked with Terraform for any amount of time, you’ve probably experienced handing Terraform modules directly to application developers. Although this enables teams to get started quickly, it can lead to a world of pain. For example, does the following quote, from an internal developer platform team engineer at a large bank resonate with you? “I handed my developers a reusable Terraform module for Postgres.
Building Smarter, Scalable AI Applications
While GenAI has been driving transformative change, WebAssembly (WASM) works in the background to enhance performance and security in web and cross-platform applications.
