Beyond source code: The files AI coding agents trust — and attackers exploit

As AI coding agents become deeply embedded in developer workflows, defenders must evolve their definition of malicious files and rethink how to protect against them.  Autonomous AI agents operate across integrated development environments (IDEs), editors, terminals, and extension runtimes, and they often have access to local files, command execution, and external services. As a result,

Building hybrid multi-tenant architecture for stateful services on AWS

Running a large-scale ad-serving infrastructure presents unique challenges when balancing tenant isolation with operational efficiency. Our infrastructure handles millions of requests per second and generates billions of dollars in annual advertising revenue, serving ads across multiple properties and systems. The cellular architecture problem Earlier, we had a cellular architecture where we allocated each AWS account

Meet the latest Database Center, now with Gemini-powered fleet intelligence

Managing a modern database fleet is both a scale and cognitive problem. As database estates grow, the effort required to monitor, troubleshoot, and optimize them often outpaces teams’ capacity, who find themselves fighting database issues in isolation, buried under a mountain of fragmented signals. We designed Database Center as a single pane of glass that

Cluster-level reliability for trillion-parameter models on TPUs

Frontier AI models have redefined the unit of compute. At trillion-parameter scale, AI training requires thousands of interconnected components, orchestrated in industrial-scale deployments to operate as a single, massive entity.  Likewise, when it comes to reliability, aggregate infrastructure availability is what matters. Yet for almost two decades, instance-level reliability has been the cloud standard. Designed
