Agent 2 Agent: A Giant Leap for AI Agents - And Why Enterprises Must Get Security Right

At Google Cloud Next, one statement particularly caught the attention of innovators and cybersecurity professionals alike: Google’s introduction of Agent 2 Agent (A2A) marks a major evolution in AI architecture. It enables autonomous agents to collaborate across services, platforms, and domains—unlocking powerful use cases across virtually every industry.

What is Agentic AI? Understanding the Next Evolution of AI

In the ever-evolving world of artificial intelligence, a new frontier is emerging—Agentic AI. This revolutionary concept goes beyond the traditional models of AI that we’ve grown accustomed to. Instead of simply following explicit instructions, agentic AI systems are designed to act autonomously, make decisions, and adapt dynamically. In other words, they can “think” independently to achieve specific goals.

Scaling up to 1 Million Requests per Minute: How Cloudsmith Delivers Extreme Performance

CI/CD pipelines don’t wait. When traffic surges and your artifact platform can’t keep up, it’s not just a few slow requests: builds fail, deploys become backlogged, and engineers lose confidence. We’ve seen it all: 502s from overloaded VMs, minutes-long pulls, and pipelines grinding to a halt. That’s why we built Cloudsmith to scale by default; no one should have to firefight with their registry at 2 a.m.

Testing LLM backends for performance with Service Mocking

While incredibly powerful, one of the challenges when building an LLM application (large language model) is dealing with performance implications. However one of the first challenges you'll face when testing LLMs is that there are many evaluation metrics. For simplicity let's take a look at this through a few different test cases for testing LLMs.

Unified Solution for IT and OT Asset Management: Equinix and Sunbird Integration

As businesses grow, the complexity of managing both physical and virtual assets across owned and leased data centers has become increasingly challenging. Traditionally, IT and Operational Technology (OT) teams have worked with siloed tools to manage their respective domains. On one hand, Data Center Infrastructure Management (DCIM) systems have focused on managing critical infrastructure like power, cooling, and in-rack devices.

Histogram Buckets in Prometheus Made Simple

Staring at a monitoring dashboard and still feeling like you're missing half the picture? Happens more often than you'd think. Especially when you're dealing with metrics like request durations or payload sizes—data that doesn’t behave nicely or fit into neat little averages. This is where Prometheus' histogram buckets step in. They're not just another metric type; they're a better way to track the messy, uneven world of performance data.
