Infrastructure as Code: A Solutions Architect’s Guide to Terraform and Pulumi
After two decades of managing infrastructure across enterprises of every scale, I’ve witnessed the evolution from manual server provisioning to the declarative, version-controlled approach we now call Infrastructure as Code. The shift isn’t just about automation—it’s about treating infrastructure with the same rigor we apply to application code: version control, code review, testing, and continuous […]

Introduction: Anthropic’s Claude SDK provides developers with access to one of the most capable and safety-focused AI model families available. Claude models are known for their exceptional reasoning abilities, 200K token context windows, and strong performance on complex tasks. The SDK offers a clean, intuitive API for building applications with tool use, vision capabilities, and […]
Read more →AI Agent Architectures: From ReAct to Multi-Agent Systems
Introduction: AI agents go beyond simple LLM calls by combining reasoning, planning, tool use, and memory to accomplish complex tasks autonomously. Different agent architectures suit different problems: ReAct agents interleave reasoning and action, plan-and-execute agents create upfront plans, and multi-agent systems coordinate specialized agents. This guide covers building robust agent systems: the ReAct pattern for […]

GitHub Copilot has fundamentally changed how I approach software development. After integrating it into my daily workflow over the past year, I want to share practical insights on maximizing its value while understanding its limitations. As someone who has been writing code for over two decades, I initially approached AI-assisted development with skepticism, but Copilot […]
Read more →Serverless AI Architecture: Building Scalable LLM Applications
Three years ago, I built my first serverless LLM application. It failed spectacularly. Cold starts made responses take 15 seconds. Timeouts killed long-running requests. Costs spiraled out of control. After architecting 30+ serverless AI systems, I’ve learned what works. Here’s the complete guide to building scalable serverless LLM applications. Figure 1: Serverless AI Architecture Overview […]
