🚀 New Blog Post Alert! Implementing Microservices Architecture: A Practical Guide to Getting It Right Moving from a monolithic structure to a microservices-based architecture isn’t just about breaking your application into parts - it’s about strategy, independence, scalability, and speed. In our latest blog, we cover: ✅ When to consider microservices ✅ How to define service boundaries using DDD ✅ Choosing the right tech stack ✅ Handling data and CI/CD pipelines ✅ Common challenges & how to overcome them ✅ Real-world case study with proven results 📖 Read the full blog here: https://lnkd.in/gGhV5p_X 💡 Learn how we increased deployment frequency 5x and reduced downtime through microservices implementation. #MicroservicesArchitecture #MonolithToMicroservices #DigitalTransformation #DomainDrivenDesign #CI_CD #DevOpsBestPractices #TechStackStrategy #SystemScalability #PerfawareInsights #DeploymentExcellence #TechCaseStudy #ModernArchitecture #perfaware

One of our customers from Tilt (formerly Empower) just shared how they wired the Augment CLI directly into their CI/CD pipeline for PR reviews. It’s a great example of what “agentic engineering” looks like in practice. Some lessons 👇 Their pipeline flow: - GitHub PR triggers Azure Pipeline - Pipeline hydrates a Docker image with PR code + metadata - Augment CLI runs review stages with access to MCP servers (Linear, LaunchDarkly, Notion, GitHub) 💡Lesson 1: Treat AI rules like code. They maintain “always apply” rules just for Augment. When something breaks, they triage it in Slack like a bug. Most teams fail by treating AI feedback as vibes. They treated it as engineering. 💡Lesson 2: Separate rules for humans vs. AI. - Humans get full docs in Notion (“why the rule exists”). - AI gets short enforceable rules (“always do X, never do Y”). The split makes both groups more effective. 💡Lesson 3: Hydrate context. With Notion + Linear + LaunchDarkly hooked up, Augment doesn’t just say “this violates a rule.” It explains why the rule exists, or checks tickets/flags directly. Feedback becomes coaching, not nagging. 💡Lesson 4: Modular prompts. They didn’t dump everything into one mega-prompt. Instead, the CLI runs in stages: - Code review - QA notes from Linear - Feature flag validation 💡Lesson 5: Centralize and version rules. - Rules live in the repo, next to the code they govern. - Same rules apply in IDE, CLI, and pipeline. No hidden logic. Developers see exactly what Augment enforces. The result: faster, higher-quality reviews that also teach developers the why. This is what agentic engineering feels like: less typing, more orchestration, agents enforcing consistency while explaining the reasoning. Big thanks to James Garrett for sharing this.

Jeremy Heller, Senior Product Manager for Databases at Aiven, is passionate about helping engineering teams who manage logs and search with different stacks. It’s a challenge most teams know too well - siloed tools, duplicated efforts, and higher costs. In his latest blog, Jeremy shares why OpenSearch is the ideal solution, plus the best use cases for making the switch. Read Jeremy’s full breakdown and see how to bring logs and search together with OpenSearch: https://lnkd.in/erZtXYGM #Aiven #OpenSource #OpenSearch
