Data engineering’s getting flipped.AI agentsandLLMsaren’t just tagging along anymore - they’re the main users now. That means engineers need to buildcontext-aware, machine-readable data systemsthat don’t just store info but actually make sense of it. Think:vector databases,knowledge graphs,semantic .. read more  

Slack broke down how it's threading AI into its product without torching user trust.Slack AIleans hard ontenant-specific data isolationandzero data retention- no leftover crumbs from LLM interactions. Instead of piping user data through someone else’s APIs, Slack runs LLMs onits own infrawhere it ca.. read more  

2025 was the year LLMs stopped just answering questions and started building things.Reasoning modelslike OpenAI’s o-series and Claude Code took over tool-driven workflows. Asynchronous coding agentsbroke out. These models didn’t just write code - they ran it, debugged it, then did it again. That loo.. read more

A long AWS smackdown in US-EAST-1 traced back to a ticking time bomb inDynamoDB’s automated DNS system. The flaw torpedoed EC2 networking, hobbled Lambda and Fargate, and dragged down theNetwork Load Balancer. Endpoints ghosted. Configs stalled. Everything snowballed. AWS says they’ll upgrade EC2 th.. read more  

AWS just made a big dent in NAT gateway bills. You can now runLambda in VPCs with IPv6 and an egress-only Internet gateway- no more always-on NAT draining your wallet. Keep the private subnets locked down. Still get outbound Internet access. IPv6 handles the traffic, slicing out the NAT middleman... read more

A former NASA engineer - now a Google Cloud AI infra alum - rips apart the idea of building GPU datacenters in orbit. His verdict: space is a terrible server rack. Power delivery? A nightmare. Heat dissipation? Worse in a vacuum. Radiation? Frying time. Even a 200kW solar rig (think ISS-sized) could.. read more
