In the agentic era, the role of the database has fundamentally changed. It is no longer a passive repository; it’s a critical context engine designed to ground generative AI apps, models and power autonomous workflows. To do this effectively, databases must move beyond fragmented architectures and embrace a unified, multi-model foundation, facilitating deep reasoning and […]

In this post, we share our journey and the lessons learned from building and running a fully serverless, multi-account software as a service (SaaS) platform at scale. We’ll explore why true scale-to-zero is critical, how we handle quota management, why engaging AWS service teams early saved us from outages, and which unexpected practices emerged once

If you’re building machine learning solutions with sensitive data, you face a persistent challenge: preventing data exfiltration while enabling data scientists to work productively. iBusiness, an AI-driven fintech organization, needed its data scientists to work with sensitive data to fine-tune and improve machine learning models. As the data science team scaled, traditional air-gapped environments and

When your game server needs both a managed identity provider and its own session system, players face a broken experience if authentication forces a redirect or stalls gameplay. Dual-token authentication for Nakama game servers with Amazon Cognito solves this by connecting two independent session systems, each with its own token lifecycle, without interrupting the player.

We recently announced the preview of the BigQuery AI.AGG() function. With AI.AGG(), you can use natural-language instructions within a single line of SQL to summarize or synthesize information over millions of rows of unstructured or even multimodal data. Summarize millions of rows with one line of SQL: AI.AGG While BigQuery already offers powerful AI functions

Welcome to the second Cloud CISO Perspectives for June 2026. Today, we’re discussing how we use AI to chart a path to autonomous software development lifecycle security. As with all Cloud CISO Perspectives, the contents of this newsletter are posted to the Google Cloud blog. If you’re reading this on the website and you’d like

Written by: James Sadowski, Alden Wahlstrom Introduction Four years into Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine, the pro-Russia influence ecosystem has evolved from a tool of war back into a global strategic asset. Since the mobilization of this ecosystem to support frontline objectives, we have witnessed the expedited development of new influence assets linked to multiple,

Editor’s note: Today’s post is by Scott Gatreau, Director of Information Security, at Turner Industries, a privately owned industrial contractor that provides construction, maintenance, and fabrication services. To streamline their one-stop shop service model and support their mission to reduce costs and increase efficiency, Tuner Industries turned to ChromeOS, Google Workspace, Chrome Enterprise Premium and

As enterprises scale autonomous AI agents into production, enabling safe innovation requires robust architectural guardrails. AI agents connect across tools and datasets, so it’s essential to establish clear network-level boundaries for comprehensive data protection.  To help organizations confidently deploy these workflows, we recommend VPC Service Controls (VPC-SC) to establish an essential network-level, destination-based perimeter.
