<p>Welcome back to <strong>The Everyday Backend Engineer: Practical Design Patterns</strong>. In our last post, we made our core algorithms interchangeable using the Strategy Pattern. Today, we close out our design patterns roadmap with arguably the most native pattern in the entire Node.js ecosystem: <strong>The Observer Pattern</strong>.</p> <p>Let’s look at how to master event-driven decoupling to trigger secondary workflows seamlessly without bloat.</p> <h2> 🔴 The Problem: Direct Inline Sid

Agent runs often fail after expensive model calls and executing tools that have real-world side effects. This problem is made even worse by how common it is to deploy agents to serverless environments. When your agent dies, it needs to be restarted, but doing so safely isn't easy and everyone building agents has to solve this same problem of durability. The stack you're running probably already has half of what you need for durable execution already though, ie, a queue or job runner that can inv

In this tutorial, we reconstruct the VideoAgent workflow as a runnable, API-key-free multi-agent pipeline. We build an intent parser, an agent library, a tool router, a graph planner, and a textual-gradient optimizer that repairs the execution graph. We wire these planning components to FFmpeg, Whisper transcription, scene detection, keyframe sampling, captioning, cross-modal indexing, and beat-synced editing. By the end, we have a system that answers questions about a video, summarizes it, and

<p><strong>TL;DR</strong></p> <ul> <li>This loop runs on a schedule and succeeds by doing nothing almost every night.</li> <li>The pass/fail check is plain deterministic code, with no AI in the decision.</li> <li>It can run entirely free on your own machine.

Hi, my name is Kam, and today my cofounder Josh and I are shipping Finterm, a CLI that gives coding agents direct access to financial data: stock prices, options data, SEC filings, and Ticker Deep Research, a filtered ticker news search. I’m a developer and have been a full-time trader for the past few years.Recently I have been using LLMs more and more in my trading and strategy. I always found it frustrating that Claude Code or GPT did not have direct access to actual financial information and

OpenAI has released a prompting guide for everyday users, not developers. Instead of rigid formulas, it suggests four optional building blocks: goal, context, format, and constraints. The core advice is simple: describe the result you want, not the steps to get there. It's the first time OpenAI covers both Chat and Codex in a single framework.

I thought this might be useful to C++ engineers working on games, graphics, content in C++ looking for a good lightweight html5 Electron style UI engine. AffineUI is deeply optimized and meant to run as close to 120hz as possible, but supports (most) of html5 and is easy to integrate with your app. It also is highly crash resistant using weakrefs, handles, etc. to avoid footguns. A zero-dep drop in lib that could be a cross between DearIMGUI and Electron. A full featured GPU accelerated html5 re

In this post, we describe how Bluesight used two AWS engagements and Amazon Bedrock AgentCore to evolve from a single-product AI prototype to Prism, a unified agentic AI solution spanning six healthcare compliance products. Prism Assistant for ControlCheck launched in May 2026 and is already in use by 20 health systems. A more complex multi-product agentic solution is on track for later in 2026.

Building multi-tenant agents with Amazon Bedrock AgentCore and Apply fine-grained access control with Bedrock AgentCore Gateway interceptors establish the conceptual foundation for on-behalf-of (OBO) token exchange in agentic systems. This post is the implementation guide. It walks through a complete multi-tenant OBO setup against Okta, shows the JSON Web Token (JWT) claim transformations on each hop, and demonstrates how audience binding produces defense in depth that scales across tenants.

We build AI agents to find vulnerabilities in other AI agents. The playground started as an internal tool that we used to test our own offensive agent Nyx. But we realised that hacking an AI is about have as wide a distribution of attacks as possible, especially those which aren't in the distribution of the models. So we are launching playground as a platform to crowdsource agent jailbreaks. And although hacking AI is super fun and we are sure people will do it for free, we want to reward those
