The debugging crisis nobody's talking about: AI, abstraction, and the skills gap

Here's a scenario that's playing out in engineering teams across the industry right now. A developer uses AI to rapidly prototype a microservice. The code works. They deploy it to production. Six months later, something breaks. The system is under load, a database connection pools, and the service starts failing in subtle ways. The engineer pulls up the code, but here's the problem, they didn't write it. An AI assistant did. They don't understand the flow deeply. They don't know where to look first.

New in Kubex: KAI Scheduler Integration for Shared GPU Inference

Today, we’re launching Kubex support for the KAI Scheduler and automated GPU sharing for inference workloads. As AI inference moves into production, platform teams are being asked to serve more models, support more teams, and control GPU costs at the same time. But many inference workloads do not need an entire GPU all the time. When teams reserve full GPUs or oversized GPU fractions to stay safe, expensive capacity can sit idle across the cluster.

Why we built relaxAI, and where your AI data actually goes

Sandboxing your AI agent is only half the story. The other half is where your data goes when it hits your LLM provider's API. In this clip from our secure execution agents webinar, Ben Norris, founding engineer at relaxAI, explains why the sovereignty of your AI provider matters just as much as the security of your agent's environment and why relaxAI was built on a sovereignty-first principle, with inference running exclusively in the UK and no foreign data transfer.

What nobody tells you about platform engineering at scale

Platform engineering has become one of the most discussed topics in cloud native infrastructure. Yet despite the rising focus, most conversations around platform engineering skip over the uncomfortable truths. What actually works at scale? When should you build versus buy? And how do you avoid the traps that trip up even experienced teams?

How to build a hybrid private cloud strategy that scales with your business

Most hybrid cloud strategies fail not at launch but at scale. The architecture works fine for the first year. The team's workloads are modest, the integration points are limited, and the operational overhead is manageable. Then the business grows. Workloads multiply, data volumes climb, the team expands, and the seams between public cloud and private infrastructure start showing.

How to build sustainable AI infrastructure on GPU cloud

AI's environmental cost is real, and it's growing. Training a large language model can consume the electricity of hundreds of households for weeks. Inference at production scale runs continuously, with GPU clusters drawing power around the clock. The data centers that house all of this are some of the most concentrated energy consumers in the modern technology stack.

Platform engineering unplugged: What nobody tells you about platform engineering at scale

Most platform engineering stories are told in hindsight, with the rough edges smoothed out. On June 17th, we are doing it differently. Join us for Platform Engineering Unplugged, a frank conversation with a practitioner who has navigated the real challenges of building and scaling platform engineering. What worked, what didn't, and what they would do differently. If you lead engineering teams and are thinking seriously about platform engineering, this is the session for you.

How to build a secure AI agent sandbox with relaxAI and Claude Code

AI agents are powerful. They're also unpredictable, non-deterministic, and capable of doing things you didn't ask them to do, as the Rome Alibaba and Claude Mythos case studies make very clear. The answer isn't to avoid agentic AI. It's to run it properly. In this demo, Ben Norris, founding engineer at relaxAI, shows how to build a fully sandboxed AI agent environment from scratch, an ephemeral Civo VM provisioned via Terraform and GitHub Actions, locked down with egress policies, an unprivileged Linux user, and hard resource caps, running a Claude Code session pointed at the relaxAI API.

Klaudia Under the Hood: How We Built an AI SRE That Actually Earns Trust

In reliability engineering, being ‘mostly right’ is a liability. An AI SRE that sometimes misses the root cause or gives a confident, wrong answer at 2:17 AM has no place in an enterprise cloud environment. In this context, silence is better than noise. That’s the bar Klaudia is built to clear: genuine reliability that you can trust in production. The kind of reliability that earns a place alongside your best engineers. Getting there requires more than just a capable model.
