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.

Get Kafka-Nated S2E6: Omnia Ibrahim - KIP-1279, Cross-Cluster Replication

Nobody has much nice to say about MirrorMaker. Cross-cluster replication has been one of Kafka's sore spots for years, and KIP-1279 is the community's attempt to finally fix it. This episode I'm joined by Omnia Ibrahim, Software Engineer at Apple and Apache Kafka Committer, to talk about what's actually broken in multi-cluster Kafka today, what KIP-1279 changes, and what teams running active-active or active-passive setups should do in the meantime.

Why Houston Is Becoming a Hub for App and Web Projects

Houston gets a lot of credit for oil, space exploration, and incredible food, but tech rarely makes that list. That is starting to change in a big way. Founders all over the city are quietly building apps and websites that compete with anything coming out of the bigger coastal hubs. If you have been searching for mobile app developers in Houston or wondering whether to invest in custom web development services, you are in exactly the right place.

Beware of PII in Testing Data: The Security Iceberg and Where PII Actually Hides

If you run a platform tools or security team, you have likely heard this request from developers: “I just need a copy of the production database for staging so I can run realistic load and integration tests.” It is a completely reasonable request. Production traffic and data contain the actual request shapes, real-world value distributions, long-tail anomalies, and timing patterns that make tests useful.

Monitoring vs. observability: The future of IT operations in 2026

For years, monitoring was the gold standard of infrastructure management. Dashboards. Thresholds. Alerts. If everything on the dashboard was green, you didn't need to worry. If something turned red, you responded. It was a model built on predictability, and for a long time, it worked. But modern infrastructure is no longer predictable.

Integrating Digital Employee Experience (DEX) with ServiceNow: What IT Teams Need to Know

As CTO for Teneo, I get the opportunity to meet with many of our customers to talk about plans for the next few years. I often find we spend a lot of time talking about Digital Employee Experience, but far less time is spent fixing the operational friction that quietly erodes it. Slow devices, degraded application performance, and recurring service desk tickets are common themes in many organizations.
