Imagine a teammate who needs to find a user across thousands of accounts with only a partial email address, a last name, and a known access level. How quickly can your team respond?

Processing millions of user reviews in real-time, under strict latency and cost constraints, is no easy task. Trustpilot has been doing exactly that with custom machine learning since long before large language models (LLMs) were cool. Now, as the company transitions its core stack to generative AI, here is a look at how we teamed

AI agents possess incredible reasoning capabilities and can perform increasingly complex actions. But the reliability of agentic outcomes depends entirely on the quality of the context they can access — context that is frequently locked away in operational databases. To bridge this gap, we are excited to announce the Remote Model Context Protocol (MCP) Server

Application owners and platform engineers have long faced a difficult choice: spend excessively by over-provisioning to guarantee quick startups, or minimize costs but endure slow cold starts. We are excited to announce a solution to this compromise: Google Kubernetes Engine standby buffers. This builds on the launch of GKE active buffers earlier this year, a

However, the “last mile” of ad-hoc analysis, modeling, and reporting often happens where business users are most comfortable: Google Sheets. Bridging this gap usually involves exporting data as CSVs. But this is inefficient, creating data silos,
