The more senior you get, the fewer people are close enough to check your architecture calls before they ship. InfoQ's 5-week online cohort pairs senior architects and engineers from different companies to work through real open decisions. Starts Aug 13: bit.ly/4517Y2W #SoftwareArchitecture

Software Architecture Cohort for Senior Engineers | InfoQ

A 5-week online cohort facilitated by Luca Mezzalira. Pressure-test architectural decisions with senior engineers from other companies. Earn ICSAET.

In regulated industries, AI security and privacy guidance often arrives after the decisions do. Most engineers are navigating that with no external peer group making the same calls. InfoQ AI Security & Privacy cohort with Katharine Jarmul. Next cohort: Aug 26. ๐Ÿ”— bit.ly/4h7PvsT

Online AI Security & Privacy Engineering Cohort | InfoQ

AI security and privacy engineering for regulated industries. A 5-week online cohort with Katharine Jarmul, four hours a week.

Latency and cost don't surface until production load hits. By then, the architectural calls that caused them are expensive to reverse. The InfoQ Certified AI Engineering Program gives you a senior peer group to pressure-test decisions before they get locked in. Starts July 25. ๐Ÿ”— bit.ly/4eQ68X2

The InfoQ Certified Architect Program is for senior engineers and architects carrying a decision theyโ€™ve been sitting with for a while, finally getting feedback from people with no stake in how the answer lands. Starts August 13. ๐Ÿ”— bit.ly/4wd9WZu

Most AI experiments cover the happy path. The edge cases, inputs your eval suite missed, and scenarios that only surface with real users come later, in production. Hien Luu, author of MLOps with Ray, facilitates the first InfoQ Certified AI Engineering Program cohortโ†’ bit.ly/4v6zvL2

Production agents fail underneath the loop: durable state, daily deploys, sandboxes, model portability, observability. The Architecting for Agents track at #QConSF 2026 works through each layer with practitioners shipping agents in production today: bit.ly/43bRm7D

Halfway through Day 1 at #QConAI Boston, a few things are standing out: ๐Ÿ”น Context is becoming an architecture problem, not just a prompt problem ๐Ÿ”น Trust and safety at scale needs real infrastructure, not just policies ๐Ÿ”น KV cache is one of those levers teams notice when inference costs start to hurt

Day 1 of #QConAI Boston 2026 is ON! ๐ŸŽ‰ Two days of practical, production-focused AI, real systems, real teams, real constraints. Let's explore what practitioners are doing to ship AI safely, scale inference reliably, and build the agentic systems that actually hold up in production: boston.qcon.ai

Someone has to make the platform call, ship the first agent, and build the eval strategy that holds under real traffic. The InfoQ Certified AI Engineering Program is for staff engineers, engineering managers, and ML platform leads. Starts July 25, 2026. โ†’ bit.ly/4tT2HEp
