#058 - The Future of AI and Platform Engineering with Blake Sherwood (Smarsh)

In this episode, special guest Blake Sherwood joins the show to discuss his unique career trajectory from tourism and coal mining to leading massive-scale Kubernetes migrations. Blake shares insights from his experience managing petabytes of data in high-compliance environments, delving into the practical realities of integrating AI into enterprise workflows and observability systems.

Claude Code Sandbox: The Complete Guide to Sandboxing AI Agents in Production

How to sandbox Claude Code, Codex, and other AI coding agents for production use. Compare local Docker, Daytona, E2B, and Qovery approaches - with architecture diagrams and real-world examples. Romaric founded Qovery to make Kubernetes accessible to every engineering team. He writes about platform strategy, developer experience, and the future of cloud infrastructure.

AI startup on a budget? How to master GPU computing without overspending

This blog is based on the webinar, “Panel Discussion: Understanding the importance of GPUs for AI success”. You can watch the full recording by clicking here! Cheap GPUs don't kill AI startups. Cheap thinking about GPUs does. In 2026, the teams burning through runway fastest aren't the ones who can't afford compute; they're the ones measuring the wrong thing and scaling the wrong way.

What Architecture Ensures Long-Term Scalability in a Rails-Based B2B Platform?

Scalability is not a feature you add later; it is a choice made at the architectural level from day one. A Rails-based B2B platform that handles growing clients, data, and transactions without slowdowns or costly rewrites is built on a modular design, clear domain boundaries, background job processing, caching, and a database strategy that supports load distribution and horizontal scale. Get these foundations right, and you stay in control of growth instead of reacting to problems after they appear.

A New Era of Linux Kernel Vulnerabilities

There have been TWO major kernel vulnerabilities announced this week. Copy-Fail (CVE-2026-31431) was announced on April 30th. Dirty Frag (CVE-2026-43284), also known as 'Copy Fail 2: Electric Boogaloo' announced literally hours ago. Both have already been patched on Cycle, and our users can receive this update simply by restarting their nodes. The Linux patch was released less than an two hours ago, and we're the first to get it to our customers.

What is sovereign AI, and why does it matter for your business?

With AI reshaping every corner of the modern business, the highest-value workloads are often locked behind complex regulatory frameworks. Yet many organizations are still running them on infrastructure they don't fully control, trusting external platforms to decide where their data lives, where workloads run, and how their AI operates. Civo was built to change that.

The state of cloud and AI in 2026

Over the past decade, cloud computing has evolved from an emerging technology into the foundation of modern digital infrastructure. However, the latest industry research shows that the industry has now crossed a critical threshold. The conversation is no longer about whether to adopt cloud, cloud-native technologies, or AI. Instead, it has shifted toward operational efficiency, economic predictability, and infrastructure at scale.

Calculating The Kubernetes Integration Tax: What Your DIY Networking Stack Actually Costs

It was 11:47pm on a Thursday night, and a senior platform engineer at a large North American bank was rolling back a ‘simple’ configuration change. The change itself was small, a routine update approved through the usual review process, but when it was applied, pods began cycling and connections started dropping. For the next three seconds, mobile banking sessions already mid-transaction dropped. Customer support lit up.
