• Building AI Agents Using Docker cagent and GitHub Models
  December 18, 2025 by Naga Santhosh Reddy Vootukuri
  The landscape of AI development is rapidly evolving, and one of the most exciting developments in 2025 from Docker is the release of Docker cagent. cagent is Docker’s open-source multi-agent runtime that orchestrates AI agents through declarative YAML configuration. Rather than managing Python environments, SDK versions, and orchestration logic, developers define agent behavior in a […]
• Infrastructure as Code: How Automation Evolved to Power AI Workloads
  December 18, 2025 by Vidyasagar (Sarath Chandra) Machupalli FBCS
  If you read my articles published on DZone this year, you would have sensed that I love automation and that Infrastructure as Code (IaC) is my buddy for automating infrastructure provisioning. Recently, I started exploring and learning about the major shifts happening in the IaC landscape.  As part of my weekend readings in the last […]
• Agentic AI in Cloud-Native Systems: Security and Architecture Patterns
  December 18, 2025 by Harvendra Singh
  AI has long progressed past statistical models that generate forecasts or probabilities. The next generation of AI systems is agents, autonomous cloud-native systems capable of acting and intervening in an environment without human intervention or approval. Agents can provision infrastructure, reroute workloads, or optimize costs. They can also remediate incidents or apply other autonomous transformations […]
• What Apple’s Native Containers Mean for Docker Users
  December 16, 2025 by Sylvain Kalache
  Did you know you can now run containers natively on macOS? At WWDC 2025, Apple announced Containerization and Container CLI — in other words, native Linux container support. Historically, running containers on macOS required launching a full Linux VM, typically via HyperKit or QEMU, to host the Docker Engine. That’s no longer necessary. This is […]
• Beyond Containers: Docker-First Mobile Build Pipelines (Android and iOS) — End-to-End from Code to Artifact
  December 15, 2025 by Swapnil Patil
  Introduction In many mobile app shops, builds are still done locally (on dev laptops) or through fragile CI scripts. This leads to inconsistent builds, wasted hours onboarding developers, or debugging “but it worked on my machine” issues. Using Docker — already popular for backend and microservices — mobile teams can also build a reproducible, scalable, […]

• Looking at the Evolving Landscape of ITSM Through the Lens of AI
  December 18, 2025 by Atish Kumar Dash
  As today’s businesses march forward alongside rapid developments in artificial intelligence (AI), progress has reached nearly every major functional area of technology. One such area on the cusp of transformational change is Information Technology Service Management (ITSM). For the last decades, traditional ITSM systems have relied heavily on manual workflows and unstructured processes. One can […]

• CMDB vs. IT Asset Management: Why Confusing Them Can Break Your IT Operations
  December 17, 2025 by Atish Kumar Dash
  Today, organizations are investing in technology more than ever before. However, many of them stumble — not because they lack resources, but because they confuse seemingly similar elements of technology implementation. A common example is the misunderstanding between two essential tools: Configuration Management Databases (CMDBs) and IT Asset Management (ITAM) systems. At a cursory glance, […]

• Engineering Smart Prefetch: Search With Foresight
  December 17, 2025 by VIVEK KATARYA
  Do you remember the hype for that final season of Game of Thrones? This was the only time I streamed a new episode within minutes of it being released. Millions of others did the same after waiting months to learn the fate of Westeros. Now imagine how amazing the viewing experience would have been if, […]
• Reproducibility as a Competitive Edge: Why Minimal Config Beats Complex Install Scripts
  December 9, 2025 by Con Hrisikos
  The Reproducibility Problem Software teams consistently underestimate reproducibility until builds fail inconsistently, environments drift, and install scripts become unmaintainable. In enterprise contexts, these failures translate directly into lost time, higher costs, and eroded trust. Complex install scripts promise flexibility but deliver fragility. They accumulate technical debt, introduce subtle environment variations, and create debugging nightmares that […]
• Data Ingestion Using Logstash: PostgreSQL to Elasticsearch
  November 14, 2025 by Mangesh Walimbe
  What Is Logstash? Logstash is an open-source data processing pipeline from Elastic. It is being used to ingest, transform, and ship data to different sources, including Elasticsearch, Kafka, flat files, etc. Logstash pipeline includes three different processes:
• A Developer's Guide to Mastering Docker Networking Concepts
  November 12, 2025 by Akaash Vishal Hazarika
  As developers, our first success with Docker is typically running a single container and accessing it through localhost. While this is a solid beginning, the true strength of containers emerges when you start running multi-container applications. This is also where most developers face challenges. You have a web application in one container and a database […]
• Event-Driven Architecture Patterns: Real-World Lessons From IoT Development
  November 10, 2025 by Bhavna Hirani
  Why This Matters for Back-End Developers I spent six years working with microservices before I truly understood event-driven architecture. Building a real-time IoT system with more than 50 distributed nodes, using asynchronous messaging and meeting latency goals under 100 milliseconds, made it all click for me. In this article, I’ll share practical patterns from real […]
