Presentation: Beyond Prompting: Context Engineering and Memory Management for AI Systems at Scale
Adi Polak discusses the architecture required to transition from stateless prompts to state-aware, context-rich AI agents. Drawing on 15 years in distributed systems, she shares how engineering leaders can leverage Apache Kafka and Flink for real-time stream processing, dynamic memory tiering, and tool orchestration via MCP to solve token limits, cost spikes, and latency bottlenecks.
By Adi PolakAzure API Management Ships Unified Model API and MCP Content Safety at Build 2026
Azure API Management shipped a Unified Model API that lets clients speak one format while APIM transforms requests to Anthropic, Vertex AI, and other backends. Content safety policies now cover MCP tool calls and Agent-to-Agent payloads alongside LLM traffic. Token metrics expanded to track reasoning, cached, and audio tokens across providers.

Netflix engineer Casey Bleifer shares how to achieve rapid, automated code changes across a massive, diverse software fleet. She discusses building an event-driven orchestration platform using composable, Lego-like steps, and explains how Netflix utilizes automated canary validation, compliance checks, and a custom "confidence metric" to eliminate the long tail of manual engineering migrations.

By Craig RisiMicrosoft Foundry Adds Runtime, Tooling, and Governance for Production Agents
Microsoft used their Build 2026 event to announce new functionality for Microsoft Foundry. Citing Foundry as "the place where AI agents move from experiments to production systems," in a blog post, Nick Brady writes that the release brings “runtime, tools, memory, grounding, models, observability, and governance” that developers need for production agents, rather than just new model endpoints.
