In this podcast, Michael Stiefel spoke to Sarah Wells about the relationship of governance to software architecture. Governance enables teams to work effectively by establishing procedures that minimize system complexity, improve security, and reduce repetitive tasks. Targeted checklists help engineers by reducing the stress over these procedures. (Podcast)

Ben O'Mahony discusses building custom AI-powered Language Server Protocols (LSPs) that go beyond standard rule-based checkers. He explains how to instrument AI agents natively with OpenTelemetry to track concrete user actions (accepting, dismissing, or regenerating code fixes) as implicit labels, creating a continuous data flywheel to distill frontier capabilities into cheaper, local SLMs. (Presentation with transcript included)

Gwen Shapira shares how teams are scaling AI features using PostgreSQL for mission-critical apps. She explains how to leverage Postgres's multi-modal capabilities - including JSONB parsing and high-recall HNSW vector indexing - to deliver deterministic and semantic context to LLMs. She also discusses vector quantization to speed up queries by 4x and strategies for managing agentic memory.

New data from 1,000+ SRE and DevOps pros exposes a broken status quo: 78% had incidents customers found first, 40% of engineering time lost to triage instead of driving the roadmap, and a stark divide on AI adoption. Key findings also highlight early tool-sprawl in observability, a critical lack of operational context, and a clear preference for trusted human oversight. Discover how to move from reactive firefighting to a prevention posture. Explore the findings.

Uber explained how it keeps its OpenSearch deployments running during a zone outage. It does this by using OpenSearch's built-in shard allocation and its own isolation-group system, which relies on the Odin container orchestration platform. This way, it maintains both query and ingestion capabilities. (News)

When a series of regional outages forced a rethink of a multi-region AWS API, the team discovered that an obstacle to global failover was hiding in plain sight: a pre-flight discovery call baked into every client session years earlier as the only available option. This article describes what it took to remove it, and what the rollout actually cost. (Article)

AI makes the first 80% of development feel fast, but hides architectural complexity until it's too late. To prevent system instability, engineering leaders must shift from raw throughput to systemic comprehension. By unifying spec-anchored SDD, TDD, and automated fitness functions into a repo-bound "Context Store," teams can ensure AI agents and human reviewers evolve code safely. (Article)
