A Practical Decision Framework for Enterprises Model Context Protocol has gone from a niche spec to the topic every AI engineering team is arguing about. The “MCP Part I: To MCP or Not (MCP)” thread making the rounds on Substack captured something real: teams are standing up an MCP server before they’ve asked whether they […]
Type “platform engineering vs DevOps” into any dev forum right now and you’ll find a fight. Half the thread says platform engineering is just DevOps with a new job title. The other half says DevOps promised self-service infrastructure a decade ago and never delivered it, and platform engineering is the correction. Both sides have a […]
Some weeks remind you why you’re in this industry in the first place. This was one of them for NextGenSoft. Our CEO Brijesh Shah and CTO Pranav Lakhani spent back-to-back days moving between two of the most important events on India’s fintech and cloud calendar this year, the Global Fintech Fest (GFF) and the AWS Pinnacle Summit, held […]
Every enterprise using generative AI eventually asks the same question: where does our data actually go once we hit “send” on a prompt? For a growing number of companies, the answer is a third-party API, processed on infrastructure they don’t control; it isn’t good enough anymore. That’s driving renewed interest in private LLMs: language models […]
If you’ve spent any time researching AI consulting firms this year, you’ve probably noticed two very different stories playing out at once. The household-name firms, the McKinseys, Accentures, and Big Four advisory arms, are announcing AI practice expansions, acquiring smaller AI shops, and rolling out proprietary AI “platforms” for clients. Meanwhile, a parallel conversation has […]
If you’ve ever watched a simple cloud migration turn into a six-month fire drill, you already know the problem isn’t the cloud. It’s the planning that happens, or doesn’t happen, before anyone touches a single workload. Most migration horror stories share a pattern: a team gets excited about cost savings or scalability, picks a go-live […]
Security budgets got tighter this year. Headcount plans got shorter. And the question landing on more CTO desks isn’t “How do we get better security?” it’s “How do we get better security with less?” That question is showing up everywhere from LinkedIn threads to board decks right now: do you hire and build an in-house […]
“Context engineering: what it actually is, why it broke our system, and how we fixed it.” We built an AI-driven observability and error-resolution system for a production platform. The idea was clean. Capture every log. When an exception occurs, an AI layer reads it and takes action. If it recognises the problem, it pulls a […]
Digital transformation has advanced beyond just replacing legacy systems and transferring applications to the cloud. By 2026, organizations will be investing in various technologies, including artificial intelligence, robotics, cloud platforms, data analytics, application modernization, and intelligent processes to enhance their operations. However, the investment in new technology does not guarantee the creation of business value. […]
A founder I talked to last year had a deploy problem that everyone at his company just called “Fridays.” Not because they deployed on Fridays; nobody had for over a year, out of fear. Because every deploy, whenever it happened, took the same one engineer, four hours, and a fair amount of luck. He was […]
