By Rajiv Shringi, Kaidan Fullerton, Oleksii Tkachuk and Kartik Sathyanarayanan Introduction Netflix’s TimeSeries Abstraction is a scalable system for ingesting and querying petabytes of temporal event data with millisecond latency. We use Apache Cassandra 4.x as the underlying storage for these main reasons: Throughput, latency, and cost: Cassandra can handle millions of low‑latency reads and writes …

Large language models (LLMs) deliver strong results on general tasks, but they often struggle with specialized work that requires understanding proprietary data, internal processes, or domain-specific terminology. Amazon Nova Forge addresses this by enabling you to build your own frontier models using Amazon Nova. You can start development from early model checkpoints, blend proprietary data …

AI agents are only as powerful as the tools they can access. Whether retrieving customer data from a CRM, posting updates to Slack, or querying a GitHub repository, agents need to call external APIs, and that means securely passing credentials at runtime. Getting that right, without hardcoding secrets in code or exposing them in agent …

Processing millions of user reviews in real-time, under strict latency and cost constraints, is no easy task. Trustpilot has been doing exactly that with custom machine learning since long before large language models (LLMs) were cool. Now, as the company transitions its core stack to generative AI, here is a look at how we teamed …

Editor’s Note: This blog post was written by Greg Little, Senior Counselor at Palantir, with Aaron Jaffe, Senior Vice President at Palantir. Over 10 years of implementing Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) systems, I remember one project where the CFO stopped the room cold. It was 11:30 at night during a mock cutover. People were exhausted …

By Oleksii Tkachuk, Kartik Sathyanarayanan, Rajiv Shringi Introduction Netflix has a diverse range of graph use cases, each serving specific business needs with unique functionality and performance requirements. These use cases fall into two broad categories: OLAP: These use cases typically involve open-ended and algorithmic exploration of large graph datasets. They often utilize industry-standard models and …

Deploying large language models (LLMs) at scale on Amazon SageMaker AI Inference makes observability a critical pillar of any production machine learning (ML) strategy. Unlike conventional software that returns deterministic outputs, LLMs generate variable, free-form responses that are difficult to validate with standard metrics. LLM output quality can change over time as input distributions shift, …
Welcome to the second Cloud CISO Perspectives for May 2026. Today, Usman Chaudhary, Field CISO, Google Public Sector, offers a guide for CISOs protecting government agencies and critical infrastructure on how to get started — and get the most out of — defending with AI. As with all Cloud CISO Perspectives, the contents of this …
