InfoQ Reading List
Cloudflare and ETH Zurich Outline Approaches for AI-Driven Cache Optimization
Cloudflare and ETH Zurich highlight how AI-driven crawler traffic challenges traditional caching in CDNs and databases. They propose AI-aware strategies including separate cache tiers, adaptive algorithms, and pay-per-crawl models to balance performance for human users and AI services while maintaining cache efficiency and system stability.
By Leela KumiliGitHub Actions Custom Runner Images Reach General Availability
GitHub has just announced the availability of custom images for its hosted runners. They've finally left the public preview phase that started back in October behind them. This feature will enable teams to use a GitHub-approved base image and then construct a virtual machine image that really meets their workflow requirements.
By Claudio MasoloPresentation: Local First – How To Build Software Which Still Works After the Acquihire
Alex Good discusses the fragility of modern cloud-dependent apps and shares a roadmap for "local-first" software. By leveraging a Git-like DAG structure and Automerge, he explains how to move from brittle client-server models to resilient systems where data lives on-device. He explores technical implementation, rich-text merging, and how this infrastructure simplifies engineering workflows.
By Alex GoodArticle: Stateful Continuation for AI Agents: Why Transport Layers Now Matter
Agent workflows make transport a first-order concern. Multi-turn, tool-heavy loops amplify overhead that is negligible in single-turn LLM use. Stateful continuation cuts overhead dramatically. Caching context server-side can reduce client-sent data by 80%+ and improve execution time by 15–29% .
By Anirudh MendirattaPresentation: State of Play: AI Coding Assistants
Birgitta Böckeler discusses the rapid evolution of AI agents, moving beyond "vibe coding" to sophisticated context engineering. She explains how architectural constraints and "harness engineering" create the safety nets required for autonomous code generation. She shares vital insights for leaders on balancing speed with maintainability, security risks, and the cost of AI autonomy.
