EP 19: Demystifying Agents

Feb 24, 2026 By WSO2 In WSO2
In this episode, *Dr. Sanjiva Weerawarana* and *Asanka Abeysinghe* demystify what “agents” really are and why architects should care. They walk through core concepts and terminology—agents, agent loops, prompts, context, memory, RAG, tools, MCP, and skills—and discuss how agents observe, act, and evaluate. The conversation compares agents to traditional systems, explores where agents fit in modern architectures (including solo agents, agent-to-agent patterns, and multi-agent setups), and looks at orchestration challenges.

How to Break Off Your First Microservice

Feb 24, 2026 By Bijoy Choudhury In Confluent
The road from monolithic architecture to cloud-native, microservices application is rarely a straightforward engineering exercise. There's often a significant gap between understanding the theoretical benefits of microservices and successfully extracting each service from a mature, long-running codebase. Many teams exploring microservices migration struggle most with the first extraction. How do you make that initial step concrete, low-risk, and reversible?

Kotlin Annotations Explained: Guide for Android Developers

Feb 24, 2026 By Anupam Singh In Bugfender
Kotlin annotations allow compilers or libraries to understand our code. These metadata tags don’t directly change code logic, but they help modify how it is interpreted, optimized, or validated. This simplifies Android development by automating repetitive tasks and ensuring consistent code behavior. It also improves code readability, reduces boilerplate code, and introduces automated checks and generation.

From green checkmarks to real confidence: How qTest and SeaLights close the modern quality gap

Feb 23, 2026 By Jason Wides In Tricentis
In modern software delivery, test results often tell an incomplete story. Test suites run, dashboards turn green, and teams feel momentum. But one important question often remains unanswered: Did we actually test what we changed? This is a gap in traditional testing that is widening as more code is generated by AI. As engineering velocity accelerates (and AI generates increasing volumes of code), the gap between test activity and true coverage is widening.

Beyond RAID and Mirroring: A Next-Generation Approach to Data Resilience

Feb 23, 2026 By Andy Gremett In Hitachi Vantara
Imagine being forced to buy twice the storage you'll ever use, or watch your AI workloads grind to a halt when petabyte-scale data growth from training models exhausts capacity mid-project? Many teams remember when a few well-tuned arrays and RAID groups felt like more than enough, long before AI pipelines and container sprawl started eating capacity for breakfast. And then there’s reliability.

Automate Your Weekly Reports in 30 Minutes with n8n and Databox MCP

Feb 23, 2026 By Alexander B. Pavlinek In Databox
It’s Monday morning. Your team needs the weekly performance report. You open Google Ads and export the data. Then, GA4, export again. Then your CRM. Twenty minutes later, you’re still copying numbers into a spreadsheet, calculating week-over-week changes, and formatting everything for Slack and email. By the time you hit send, you’ve lost an hour you’ll never get back—and you’ll do it all again next week. There’s a better way.
