Erik Steiger discusses the operational pain of legacy PDF generation in regulated banking and manufacturing. He explains how transitioning from resource-heavy engines like Puppeteer and LaTeX to a serverless Rust architecture powered by Typst can drop render latencies below 2ms. He shares how applying Git and Docker concepts to template registries ensures ironclad compliance and rapid debugging.
In this eMag, we try to establish agentic AI architecture as a new type of software architecture that will likely dominate the industry for years to come. The articles, written by industry experts, cover various elements and aspects of agentic AI architecture. We aim to present the latest trends and developments shaping the new type of architecture as it enters the mainstream.
The speakers discuss Agent RFT, OpenAI’s platform for fine-tuning reasoning models via real-time tool interactions and custom reward signals. They explain how reinforcement learning solves complex credit assignment challenges within the context window. They share enterprise success stories, showing how Agent RFT eliminates long-tail token loops and drives extreme efficiency.
In this podcast, Shane Hastie, Lead Editor for Culture & Methods spoke to Craig McLuckie, co-creator of Kubernetes and CEO of Stacklok, about the impact of AI coding tools on open source communities and engineering teams, designing deliberate organisational culture, and navigating evolving career paths for engineers in the age of AI.
Sean Klein discusses why "human error" is a dangerous myth in complex systems. Sharing the inside story of Azure’s 2023 global WAN outage, he explains how modern incident analysis looks past the "Five Whys" to uncover systemic issues. Learn how engineering leaders can move away from blame, improve Standard Operating Procedures, and design resilient systems that actively protect their engineers.
