AWS – Amazon Keyspaces (for Apache Cassandra) now supports Change Data Capture (CDC) Streams
Amazon Keyspaces (for Apache Cassandra) now supports Change Data Capture (CDC) streams, enabling you to capture row-level changes in your tables in near-real time. CDC streams in Amazon Keyspaces automatically capture insert, update, and delete operations as change events, delivering them in order with automatic deduplication. With CDC streams, you can build event-driven applications and […]
GCP – A guide to converting ADK agents with MCP to the A2A framework
The evolution of AI agents has led to powerful, specialized models capable of complex tasks. The Google Agent Development Kit (ADK) – a toolkit designed to simplify the construction and management of language model-based applications – makes it easy for developers to build agents, usually equipped with tools via the Model Context Protocol (MCP) for […]
GCP – How to build a simple multi-agentic system using Google’s ADK
Agents are top of mind for enterprises, but often we find customers building one “super” agent – a jack of all trades – instead creating multiple agents that can specialize and work together. Monolithic agents often crumble under their own weight because of instruction overload, inaccurate outputs, and brittle systems that are impossible to scale. […]
