ACP vs MCP: What's the difference for agentic coding?

Jul 2, 2026 By Roger Winter In CircleCI

An AI coding agent holds many conversations at once. Not only is the user prompting it, the agent also talks to the IDE, showing diffs and asking before it touches a file. At the same time it talks to tools, pulling a failing build or querying a database. Two open protocols standardize those conversations. This guide compares ACP vs MCP in practical terms: what each protocol does and when each applies. ACP (Agent Client Protocol) connects a code editor to an AI coding agent.

Shipped: The Fastly spend that was hiding in plain sight

Jul 2, 2026 By Scott Castle In CloudZero

CDN and edge spend is easy to lose track of. Fastly bills on its own, off to the side of your cloud invoice – real money, often significant, sitting where none of your cost tooling reaches.

Jul 2, 2026 By OpsMatters In OpsMatters

From streaming platforms to banking networks, today's digital demands rest on advanced facilities that operate without pause. With companies relying heavily on constant connectivity, stability within these environments matters more than ever before.
