Agentic AI Delivery in Practice: Autonomous Enterprise Execution with the Ralph Loop

David Pitt Agentic AI & AI-Accelerated Development, Architecture, Articles, Artificial Intelligence, Automation, DevOps Leave a Comment

Agentic AI delivery is a software delivery model where autonomous agents execute development tasks inside a governed software development lifecycle (SDLC), operating within architectural guardrails, dependency-ordered backlogs, and test-gated workflows. In Part 1 and Part 2 of this series, we introduced agentic AI delivery as an enterprise software delivery model and explored how governed, autonomous execution can operate within a …

How to Prevent Retry Storms with Responsible Client-Side Retry Policies

Rachel Walker All Industries, Architecture, Articles, DevOps Leave a Comment

A retry storm occurs when large numbers of client applications retry failed requests simultaneously, spawning additional traffic that overwhelms already unstable systems.
