Understanding AI Agent Types:Guide to 8 Modern AI Architectures (Fri, 06 Feb 2026)
In this article, I will discuss eight major AI agent types: LCM, HRM, LAM, SLM, VLM, LRM, MOE, and GPT, optimized for specific problem domains, technological implementations, and practical applications. By understanding the strengths and limitations of each architecture, practitioners can make informed decisions when designing AI systems for production environments. Introduction The landscape of AI agents has transformed dramatically over the past five years. Rather than developing single models to address all problems, the industry has converged on specialized architectures, each tailored to specific computational and reasoning requirements. This article provides practitioners, researchers, and decision-makers with a detailed roadmap of eight foundational agent types, complete with technological stacks and implementation guidance.

Building Modern Full-Stack Python Applications: MVC Architecture Meets Enterprise-Ready Python (Fri, 06 Feb 2026)
The Model-View-Controller (MVC) architecture has been a cornerstone of software development for decades, but its relevance extends far beyond traditional web applications. As I was developing a curriculum for a free course on Industry Projects with Python aimed at college students, I realized that enterprise use of Python had changed dramatically in the last year, driven by Python's dominance in AI and data science. As Python continues its meteoric rise in AI backends and enterprise development, developers are building full-stack applications using Python across both frontend and backend layers. This article explores how MVC principles apply across diverse software projects, examines Python's growth in AI development, discusses the emerging trend of unified Python language stacks (beyond just TypeScript/Node.js), and highlights modern tooling that makes Python a first-class enterprise language.

Enabling Single-Sign-On in SaaS Application (Fri, 06 Feb 2026)
Introduction of SSO Single sign-on (SSO) allows users to log in to enterprise applications using central organizational credentials, which can be used across multiple internal applications without re-entering them. There will be a central Identity Provider that manages the same credentials across multiple applications. Once credentials are provided, they will remain in session for a set number of hours (6 or 8, as per organizational policy). Once credentials expire, the user has to re-enter them when they try to log in to any application, and again, there will be no login requirement for up to 8 hours. The Identity Provider handles authentication, authorization, and identity management across most aspects. Why SSO Is Important In a multinational organization, there are multiple applications for different purposes. Users of those applications need to maintain separate credentials for each application, which is hard to track, and maintaining safe password requirements across all the applications is hard for users.

The Real Cost of DevOps Backup Scripts (Fri, 06 Feb 2026)
Organizations rely on different methods for data backup, depending on factors such as data criticality. There are several options, ranging from DIY scripts to third-party backup vendors. The effectiveness of these approaches depends on how well they protect data and support timely recovery after an incident. In DevSecOps, data resilience is key, which puts backup and disaster recovery at the center of any effective security architecture.
