Ask any developer, and they will tell you that good and timely application telemetry is essential to building, maintaining, and optimizing apps. Without proper feedback, developers are left in the dark to identify logic errors, compliance issues, and areas for optimization. Application logging is a core part of the development process, providing key insights as […]

Edge computing is transforming personalization in e-commerce. The cloud is becoming the factory, not just the storefront, as personalization moves to the edge. Here’s a common scenario we see with our retail customers. A shopper clicks through your homepage. Their intent is clear. You have five seconds, maybe less, to prove you understand them. But […]

AI training is resource-intensive. It takes massive datasets, advanced algorithms, and specialized hardware (read: costly GPUs) to teach a model how to understand language, images, or audio. But even after that training is complete, running inferences (the process of generating outputs) can be equally taxing. Querying an LLM in real time for every user request […]

Linode Kubernetes Engine Enterprise (LKE Enterprise) launched in Limited Availability on June 5th, and with this launch, we wanted to highlight three ways you can create your first Enterprise cluster. This blog includes brief instructions for using Cloud Manager, the Linode CLI, and Terraform. If you don’t have access to LKE Enterprise already, you can […]

As of June 12, 2025, the active version of the Linode Terraform Provider is v3.0.0. This is an upgrade from version 2 of the provider, with version 3 supporting future product and feature releases on the Akamai Cloud platform. The current version of the provider can be viewed on the Terraform Registry Linode page. Changes […]

Kubernetes is a platform for building platforms. However, Kubernetes platform engineering initiatives aren’t always a guarantee for success. Plus, there’s a good chance of exceeding the initial budgets. Why? Because building Kubernetes-based platforms is not an easy task!  Platform engineering involves a wide range of tools and technologies that can be overwhelming and time-consuming to […]

During KubeCon in Salt Lake City 2024, we announced the availability of Akamai App Platform in public Beta. Since then, we’ve focused on reducing operational overhead for platform teams while continuing to deliver on our promise: enabling developers with a structured yet flexible environment to efficiently build, deploy, and manage containerized applications.  Beta users may […]

As part of our mission to build the leading cloud for developers to create and scale applications, we’re continuing to add free intuitive features and products to secure your cloud resources. Our new Local Disk Encryption feature is the latest compute feature that we are gradually rolling out to all of our core compute regions. […]

As AI models continue to evolve into operational cornerstones for enterprises, real-time inference has emerged as a critical engine driving this transformation. The demand for instantaneous, decision-ready AI insights is surging, with AI agents – rapidly becoming the vanguard of inference – poised for explosive adoption. Industry forecasts suggest a tipping point, with over half […]

As your application scales, the manual toil of setting up and configuring a compute instance should evolve from a task to an automated pipeline. Images are a cornerstone to that pipeline, making it easy to capture and deploy the latest version of your golden image across multiple instances. We’ve made some recent improvements to our […]

Let’s set the scene for a gamer: you’re having the game of your life (and you wish you were streaming today of all days). You’re lining up the perfect winning headshot, and you’re already picturing the win-screen display popping up…and then the game lags. You’re taken out by your opponent. Game over. We’ve all been […]

As the holiday season approaches and we bid farewell to another year, there’s no slowing down in developer content and releases. Last month, we launched the latest Akamai Terraform Provider and enhanced the Terraform CLI. We also have new details about the latest Edgegrid Golang releases, along with a comprehensive guide on in-memory data management […]
