Accelerating Performance by Incrementally Integrating Rust into Existing Codebase

Lily Mara explains how to avoid high-risk software rewrites through incremental FFI refactoring. She shares how engineering teams can replace Python bottlenecks with Rust via PyO3, demonstrating how to achieve dramatic function-level speedups, seamless integration testing, and meaningful infrastructure cost savings without microservice overhead.

Agentic AI Architecture: Current Challenges and Future Opportunities

Agentic AI architecture extends microservices and cloud-native architectures with AI agents that work with context, memory, and protocols such as MCP and A2A. The article covers bounded-context integration, task-dependent coordination strategies, new security risks, and observability needs. It expects gradual adoption alongside existing architectures, with platforms absorbing common components.

Opening the Black Box: Critical Explainability for AI Agent Tool Selection with Kiji Inspector

Hannes Hapke shares how Dataiku’s open-source Kiji Inspector applies Sparse Autoencoders (SAEs) directly to decision tokens to expose why agents pick specific tools. Moving past superficial chain-of-thought narratives, he discusses causal ablation, layer activation extraction via patched vLLM engines, and production monitoring workflows for software architects and senior engineering leaders.

The Socio-Technical Staff+ Engineer: Architecture, Culture and Organisational Change

Vanessa Formicola shares how technical leaders can move beyond "wishful architecture" by practicing holistic socio-technical engineering. She discusses why engineering leaders must account for organizational maturity, reward structures, geopolitical climate, and team dynamics, framing the staff-plus role as designing the conditions for technology to thrive rather than just picking tools.

Uncorking Queueing Bottlenecks with OpenTelemetry

Oli Lane and Julian Wreford share how Gearset replaced guesswork in distributed asynchronous queues with OpenTelemetry tracing. They explain why traditional metrics fall short, how to implement user-centric SLOs based on latency distributions, and share practical debugging tips to help senior developers, software architects, and engineering leaders improve system reliability and team culture.

Five Ways to Use AI Coding Agents to Improve Your Software Architecture

Modern architectures often use legacy services for specific tasks, but these services may lack accurate documentation and using them can be risky if you don't understand them well. AI coding agents can help close that knowledge gap.
