Daily Reading List – August 16, 2024 (#378)

It was a fun Friday with more vacation time, and a morning reading list. Enjoy your weekend!

[blog] The Atlassian method: The power of developer joy. Whether you’re serving internal or external devs, how focused are you on “joy” and ensuring developers like using what you deliver?

[article] The Product Model in Outsourcing. Fascinating piece from Marty and Josh that offers specific advice for those that want more product-oriented thinking from their outsourced/service partners. It requires major changes on both sides!

[blog] Reliable Generative AI Multi-Agent Solutions with Gemini, RAG and Grounding in MongoDB Atlas. Big demonstration of an agent-based app that grabs trusted data from a MongoDB database instance.

[blog] Serverless Is Trending Again In Modern Application Development. Great post from Devin that looks at why “serverless” (redefined) is making a comeback. I’m seeing some of this too.

[article] MIT researchers release a repository of AI risks. This is useful for researchers, customers, and even vendors. I’m sending this to my docs team to see if we should improve our documentation.

[blog] Bash to Terraform with Gemini 1.5 Flash. All those scripts you have laying around might be turning into tech debt. Maybe converting to something like Terraform is more maintainable? Either way, this is an interesting look at how to do that.

[article] Walmart used AI to crunch 850M product data points and improve CX. The financial benefits aren’t spelled out here, but I’m assuming this newfound insight is adding value.

[blog] Meet the nine new web delivery partner integrations coming via Service Extensions. Augment the request traffic through our Load Balancers? Cloud customers can use these partner solutions as part of our Service Extensions.
