Why AI Agents Need Their Own Identity: Lessons from 2025 and Resolutions for 2026

Dec 23, 2025 By Ayesha Dissanayaka In WSO2
As we close out 2025, it's time to reflect on the hard lessons learned from deploying AI agents in production environments. The promise of AI agents is compelling: autonomous systems that can handle complex tasks, make intelligent decisions, and execute actions on our behalf. But as several high-profile incidents this year have starkly demonstrated, this autonomy comes with unprecedented risks when proper identity and access management controls are absent.

Apache Kafka Monitoring Is Costing You More Than You Think

Dec 22, 2025 By Bijoy Choudhury In Confluent
For organizations that rely on Apache Kafka, monitoring capabilities aren’t just a "nice-to-have"—it's a fundamental requirement for reliable performance in production and business continuity. However, the true cost of monitoring Kafka is often misunderstood. It’s not a single line item on a bill but a collection of hidden expenses that silently drain your engineering budget and inflate your total cost of ownership (TCO).

AI Prediction for 2026

Dec 19, 2025 By Matt LeRay In Speedscale
Every technology cycle comes with hype, backlash, and eventually… utility. AI is shaping up to be no different. As we head into 2026, the conversation is already shifting from “AI will replace everything” to “why isn’t this paying off yet?” This shift is heavily influenced by evolving market trends, as businesses and technologists respond to changes in customer behavior, operational patterns, and broader market conditions that shape expectations around AI.

Why You Should Run AI-Generated Code in a Sandbox

Dec 19, 2025 By Alisdair Broshar, Jen Person In Koyeb
At their best, code generation LLMs reduce cognitive load, accelerate iteration, and serve as a great pair programmer for well-scoped tasks. That said, they also introduce a level of risk. Whether it’s using a variable that was never declared, making up functions that aren’t part of a class, using code from outdated packages, or misdiagnosing an issue, code generation models can create problems.

Why Apache Iceberg & Open Lakehouse is the Foundation for Data & AI Workloads

Dec 19, 2025 By Cloudera, Inc. In Cloudera
In this discussion, Dipankar - Cloudera’s Director of Developer Relations sits with Navita - Director of Product Marketing to unpack why Apache Iceberg has emerged as the foundation of the open lakehouse - and why it’s increasingly essential for modern Data & AI workloads. Dipankar & Navita walks through how Iceberg became the de facto standard among open table formats, what it's design enables (interoperability, engine-agnostic access, reliable metadata), and why openness matters as organizations move toward multi-engine, hybrid data architectures.

What Is an MCP Gateway? Key Features and Benefits

Dec 19, 2025 By Dakshitha Ratnayake In WSO2
API protocols evolve every few years. We have moved from SOAP to REST, then to GraphQL, gRPC, and AsyncAPI for event-driven systems. Now with the rise of large language models (LLMs) and AI agents, organizations need a new class of interfaces that allow agents to take action across real systems, not just generate text. LLMs are powerful reasoning engines, but they lack context. They cannot perform actions by themselves, see real-time data, private information, or internal systems.

How to Engage AI for Calculating Credit Scoring?

Dec 19, 2025 By Radhakanth Kodukula In Antino
Across the globe, 1.5 billion people remain unbanked, without access to even the most basic financial services. For the rest, fewer than 50% of the banked population qualify for formal credit, limiting both financial inclusion and lending growth. In an era where traditional credit models struggle to assess evolving financial behaviors, AI credit scoring is emerging as a strategic differentiator for banks and fintechs alike.
