Small teams, short runway, and constant pressure to ship faster — it’s the reality we see every day among the founders we work with at Google for Startups. When you are building a company from the ground up, every hour spent on operational overhead or infrastructure plumbing is an hour taken away fr

Agents represent a fundamental shift in cloud operations. They can act on behalf of users or autonomously, make non-deterministic decisions, and request data across projects at unprecedented speed and scale. Because agents are a distinct category of non-human identity (NHI), they require unique secu

As enterprises shift their AI usage from experimental chatbots to autonomous agents, teams are hitting a critical bottleneck: accessing and reasoning over data scattered across multiple clouds, SaaS platforms, and on-premises systems. To turn AI agents into true systems of action, organizations need

The open-source Temporal execution platform is rapidly becoming a foundational layer of modern software infrastructure — especially for orchestration in distributed systems and AI agent workloads. However, deploying and scaling workers in Temporal comes with unique challenges. Workers poll for tasks

Editor's note: Generative AI startups are moving rapidly beyond static clip generation to build interactive, real-time worlds. In this technical deep dive, we explore how AI startup Visko collaborated with Google Cloud TPU engineers to deploy Orbis — its continuously streaming Live World Model—on Cl

Welcome to the first Cloud CISO Perspectives for October 2026. Today, Stephanie Kiel explains the latest on our approach to post-quantum cryptography, and shares a new tool to help CISOs and executives prepare their organizations for PQC. As with all Cloud CISO Perspectives, the contents of this new

A new Goldman Sachs report shows combined hyperscaler cloud growth jumping from 24% to 48%, with nearly $1.7 trillion in backlog. Here is what that means for enterprise cloud strategy.

Stack Overflow's 2026 Developer Survey puts AWS at 41.8% with Azure and Google Cloud nearly tied — and reveals that AI still plays a surprisingly small role in production operations.

Hyperscalers say they are capacity constrained, prices diverge sharply between providers, and neoclouds are undercutting on-demand rates. Here is how AI teams are actually sourcing GPUs now.

Google Cloud's October 8 launch of a Gemini agent for knowledge work and code — with finance and legal specializations — is a direct threat to horizontal agent startups and point tools.

Clueso raised $10M for AI video workflows, OneByZero took $20M for enterprise AI deployment, and Santé secured $15M for vertical SaaS — a clear pattern in this week's funding.

Some numbers are hard to picture until you sit with them for a moment. Last week we published the Prime Day 2026 metrics, and the one that stuck with me is 2.3 quadrillion: the daily requests Amazon ElastiCache peaked at during the event. Prime Day ran back in June, so this post always lands as […]

The reality for most organizations is that data lives everywhere. As engineering teams expand and adopt specialized platforms for their workloads, enterprise data naturally disperses across multiple clouds and operational systems. When analytical and AI initiatives require context from across the en

Last week we announced that Gemini Enterprise has evolved to make it even simpler to get work done, and introduced the Gemini agent, your new universal agent for work. It's always on and ready to answer your questions. It will write code, complete longer and more complex tasks, or perform whatever y

When we talk about agents, that doesn't necessarily mean we're talking about Python. In today's modern ecosystem, an agent might run as a high-concurrency Go microservice on Cloud Run, or live inside a browser tab calling Chrome's on-device model. Yet many agent frameworks assume a Python-only stack

AWS Lambda Web Functions is a serverless compute primitive that runs your HTTP framework natively, delivering fast, consistent responses through multi-concurrent execution and automated global distribution.

As a business intelligence user, this probably sounds familiar: Most dashboards only provide you with a standardized canvas and a fixed library of charts, and the “analysis” consists of a CSV export that takes you to another system. Or sometimes it's designing the dashboard that’s the challenge: You

A decade ago, Google released Site Reliability Engineering: How Google Runs Production Systems with O'Reilly Media. What began as a collection of our practices for managing large-scale infrastructure became a bestselling book, and inspired many organizations to adopt the reliability practices it out
