Mastering the AWS Well-Architected AI Stack: A Deep Dive into ML, GenAI, and Sustainability Lenses
(Fri, 27 Feb 2026)
As Artificial Intelligence (AI) shifts from experimental prototypes to mission-critical production systems,
the complexity of managing these workloads has grown exponentially. Organizations no longer just need models that work; they need systems that are secure, cost-effective, reliable, and
sustainable.
To address this, AWS has expanded its Well-Architected Framework with specialized "Lenses." For technical architects and lead engineers, three lenses are now critical: the Machine
Learning (ML) Lens, the Generative AI Lens, and the Sustainability Lens.

Hot Data: Where Real-Time Insight Begins
(Fri, 27 Feb 2026)
Hot data means the data currently being created, accessed, and queried in real-time or near real-time. The latest and most time-critical data, such as live events, user interactions, sensor
measurements, or transaction streams, often require the processing to be right away and latency to be low.
Hot (or warm for Gradient Data) has the greatest short-term value, so it is often kept in fast or streaming systems that are designed to process and return data very rapidly to provide instant
insights and make lightning decisions.

Rethinking Java Web UIs With Jakarta Faces and Quarkus
(Fri, 27 Feb 2026)
Nowadays, Java enterprise applications often default to Angular, React, or Vue for the frontend. But for this kind of application, the most natural UI framework already exists in the Java
ecosystem: Jakarta Faces.
Modern Java enterprise applications tend to follow a familiar pattern: a Java backend exposing REST APIs and a JavaScript/TypeScript frontend built with some library like Angular, React, or Vue.
This architecture has become so standard that we rarely question it.

End-to-End Automation Using Microsoft Playwright CLI
(Fri, 27 Feb 2026)
With the rapid adoption of AI coding agents such as Claude Code and GitHub Copilot, browser automation tools must prioritize efficiency and scalability. Traditional protocols like MCP (Model
Context Protocol) often flood the model’s context window with verbose data, such as full accessibility trees and page structure metadata. This leads to degraded performance, increased costs, and
lost reasoning context.
What's Covered in This Blog
The article provides a comprehensive and formal installation guide.
Complete the setup process in a clear, step-by-step manner.
Execution workflow with detailed instructions.
Fully implemented end-to-end practical demonstration.
Demonstration is performed using the site's online store
A detailed walkthrough VIDEO is attached at the end of the article for additional reference and clarity.
Why Separate Playwright CLI?
Traditional AI-driven browser automation often relies on MCP (Model Context Protocol). While MCP provides rich browser introspection, it introduces a critical limitation:
the server controls what enters the model’s context.
