How AI Agents Are Changing API Architecture (opens on the source site)
AI agents have rapidly become a new kind of software consumer. Where traditional applications analyze and recommend, autonomous agents can now interpret goals, make decisions, find tools, and take actions. Through API integrations and interactions, agents can coordinate actions across a range of systems and chain together their own workflows that might initially seem fairly ...
How Instagram Direct engineers built AI-native UI architecture with Jetpack Compose and reduced token cost per agent session by 33% (opens on the source site)
Android ·
Posted by Pavlo Stavytskyi, Software Engineer, Meta and Rebecca Franks, Developer Relations Engineer, Google This blog post is written in collaboration with the Meta team. Instagram Direct is one of the core surfaces on Instagram, handling billions of user messages every single day. Over years of iteration, the team squeezed every micro-optimization possible out of the legacy Android View system. However, maintaining and expanding a heavily optimized legacy surface creates significant technical debt and engineering overhead, especially as teams increasingly adopt declarative UI and AI coding…
Ce que le numérique responsable doit à l'autonomie stratégique (et réciproquement) (opens on the source site)
Numérique responsable et souveraineté numérique sont parfois traité séparément, alors qu'ils reposent sur une même logique décrite dans deux vocabulaires distincts. Tous deux refusent le même réflexe : faire payer ailleurs, ou plus tard, le prix de ce qu'on décide ici et maintenant. Et ces deux agendas peuvent être un levier l'un pour l'autre.

What a Write-Only Architecture Bought Our Health App (opens on the source site)
If you’ve built software in healthcare, you know the usual arrangement. The firm signs a business associate agreement, the developers get PHI access, and everyone agrees to be careful. Careful means scrubbing logs, keeping patient data out of screenshots and tickets, and trusting that nobody pastes the wrong thing into the wrong window. The health […] The post What a Write-Only Architecture Bought Our Health App appeared first on Atomic Spin.

Reference architecture for HA scanning with Red Hat Advanced Cluster Security for Kubernetes (opens on the source site)
Red Hat ·
Red Hat Advanced Cluster Security for Kubernetes provides an image scanning API through its Central component that CI/CD pipelines depend on for vulnerability assessment. Red Hat Advanced Cluster Security upgrades and restarts introduce downtime windows that can block critical build paths. This post describes a reference architecture that eliminates scan API downtime by running two Central service instances with a client-side failover mechanism.

L'IA a divisé par 10 le coût du refacto. Pas la nécessité de refactorer (opens on the source site)
Un jour et demi, 50 $ de tokens : c'est ce qu'a coûté un refacto structurant que je n'aurais jamais lancé dans le monde d'avant. L'IA rend-elle la conception moins critique, puisqu'on peut désormais rattraper sa dette à moindres frais ? Retour d'expérience, méthode, et convictions.

No Dumb Questions: What is AI context architecture? Why not just build your own? (opens on the source site)
In this No Dumb Questions, Phoebe asks Stack’s Engineering Manager Doug Whitley and Product Manager Ash Zade everything she wants to know about AI context architecture. What exactly is it? Why is it so important? What makes for good AI context architecture? Why buy one when you can build your own?
Are REA’s Architecture Principles still relevant in an AI-assisted world? (opens on the source site)
Introduction At REA, we use a set of architectural principles to guide how we build and evolve the systems behind our products. My colleague Shane previously shared these principles in the article Scaling technology with architectural principles. Every year we review these principles, not because we expect them to change every time, but because we want to test them against the environment we’re working in now. This year, that review felt particularly important as AI-assisted development became a more visible part of software delivery. AI-assisted coding has quickly become part of day-to-day…
Why Scaling AI Compute Performance Requires a New Power Architecture (opens on the source site)
Nvidia ·
Every new generation of accelerated computing demands more from the infrastructure underneath it — more compute performance, higher rack density and more efficient, scalable power distribution. The bottleneck isn’t just wattage. It’s how power gets from the grid to the GPU. In traditional power delivery, electricity travels from the grid as an alternating current (AC) […]
The importance of agent delegation architecture (opens on the source site)
The job description has been changing for years This didn't start with AI. The move toward cloud platforms, DevOps and distributed architectures had already expanded the boundary of software delivery. Work that had once been separated across application development, infrastructure and operations increasingly had to be designed and managed together, often within more cross-functional teams. Hiring expectations expanded alongside that boundary. Entry-level job postings began asking candidates to understand not only how to write code, but how that code moved through cloud infrastructure and…

Every day, Meta’s recommendation platforms handle billions of user interactions, generating rich temporal signals that capture individual preferences and intent across products, ads, and content. In our 2024 post on sequence learning for ads recommendations, we showed how modeling the order and timing of user actions (rather than relying on static, manually engineered sparse features) [...] Read More...

This tutorial was written by an external contributor. APIs are frequent targets for bad actors since they expose data and functionality. Securing them while maintaining usability is often one of the most challenging and time-consuming parts of API development.

RFC 9880 and the IoT Validation Problem (opens on the source site)
The IoT/IIoT world has a data model problem and the concept of Digital Twin has made this issue more important. Plenty of people have tried to fix it. RFC 9880 and its Semantic Definition Format (SDF) are a serious attempt: a JSON-based, ecosystem-neutral way to describe what a device is and what it does. I have had some experiences with this specification, and I’ve understood that the format shows its full value once you treat it as source code, something you compile.

Stop Defaulting to "use client": A Practical Mental Model for React Server Component Architecture (opens on the source site)
How thinking in server-first component boundaries can simplify data flow and reduce client JavaScript in Next.js applications.When I first started working with the Next.js App Router, I kept running into the same situation.Components would suddenly break — usually after adding a hook or a click handler. The fix felt obvious: add "use client".But after doing this a few times, I realised something: I was slowly turning my application back into a traditional client-side React app.Which defeats the whole point of React Server Components.The real challenge isn’t learning how to use Client and…

Making Changes in a Distributed System (opens on the source site)
You have a change to make in a distributed system. How many pull requests will it take to make a change? An Easily-distributed App A distributed system has two or more independent deployables. In this most common of scenarios, we have a frontend (FE) client and a backend (BE) server. It's just so easy to start. We push this architecture all the time. The two apps are not independent, however. They are inter-dependent at runtime. The FE and BE work in coordination to do something. Let's say they want to set a date on an object. There's a contract between the two so that they can talk together.…
Devoxx 2024 (opens on the source site)
Do queues in the ladies’ toilets signify success at an IT conference? Is a half-hour sit-down worth more than a T shirt? These and other deep questions pondered. Capgemini’s Cloud Development team are returning from our annual pilgrimage to Devoxx UK, the best and biggest annual IT developer conference in the UK. As is becoming usual, a train strike limited my attendance on the Wednesday, but even in a couple of days there has been much to inspire and mull over. This year, instead of a full booth, Capgemini sponsored a corner filled with super-comfy bean bags, and it was the most popular our…
