Ryan hosts SmartBear’s VP of AI and Architecture Fitz Nowlan to explore how we’re moving away from old assumptions about software development, the challenges of testing MCP servers as LLM-driven agents introduce non-determinism that breaks tradition, and how data locality and data construction are becoming more valuable when source code is so easy to generate.
How can you test your code when you don’t know what’s in it? Read More »
Welcome to the second Cloud CISO Perspectives for March 2026. Today, Nick Godfrey details his conversation with Francis deSouza at RSA Conference, and how it’s part of our approach to bold and responsible AI use. As with all Cloud CISO Perspectives, the contents of this newsletter are posted to the Google Cloud blog. If you’re

This post is cowritten with Yuri Brigance, and Usman M. Khan from Aigen. Aigen builds autonomous robots designed to help farmers remove herbicide-resistant weeds and improve crop yield through AI-driven technology. These robots operate without chemicals, using renewable energy, and provide real-time, field-level data to enhance decision-making. Using advanced computer vision AI, Aigen’s robots autonomously
Upgrading from AWS Command Line Interface (AWS CLI) v1 to AWS CLI v2 brings valuable improvements, but requires attention to several changes that may affect your existing workflows, such as failing commands, or misconfiguration. The AWS CLI v1-to-v2 Migration Tool helps you identify and resolve issues before upgrading, making transition easier. It analyzes bash scripts

For skiers and snowboarders, every moment on the mountain is about maximizing the fun — chasing fresh lines, perfecting a new trick, or exploring new terrain. Whether they’re exploring a familiar favorite or visiting a new mountain for the first time, riders want the right info at their fingertips so they can move with confidence,
As developers build AI agents with more sophisticated reasoning systems, they require higher-quality fuel–in the form of enterprise data and specialized tools–to drive real business value. To get the most out of that octane-rich mix, we offer Google-managed model context protocol (MCP) servers: an engine purpose-built for AI agents to interact securely with Google and

Every dollar that you spend on model inference buys you a position on a graph of latency and throughput. On this plot is a curve of optimal configurations, where you’ve squeezed the maximum possible performance from your hardware. That curve, borrowed from portfolio theory in finance, is the efficient frontier. With the assumption that you

If you’re architecting cloud systems for AI development on AWS, you’ve likely discovered that traditional architectures create friction for AI agents. Many cloud teams are experimenting with AI coding assistants but quickly discover a gap between what these tools promise and what their architectures allow. When an AI agent generates code, it often takes minutes—or
