Integrate Microsoft Outlook with Amazon Quick to automate email management, calendar scheduling, and workflow coordination. This post walks through the end-to-end setup and shows automation scenarios using Amazon Quick chat agents, Amazon Quick Flows, and Amazon Quick Automate.
Deploy a customer-operated LiteLLM gateway on Amazon ECS with AWS Fargate, connect it to an OpenAI model on Amazon Bedrock, and configure Codex to route requests through the gateway's Responses API with scoped identities, budgets, rate limits, and telemetry. We also compare direct IAM Identity Center access and a managed Portkey deployment.
Learn best practices for building production-grade, agent-based business process automations with Amazon Quick Automate: choosing the right process, designing focused agents, combining them with deterministic steps, applying human-in-the-loop review, and building in evaluation and observability.
Learn how to embed individual Amazon Quick Sight visuals into a React application with per-user access control. This walkthrough uses Amazon Cognito authentication and a serverless AWS Lambda backend to generate scoped embed URLs, deployed with a single AWS CloudFormation stack.
We’re introducing ZGateway, the proxy we are using to unify traffic through ZippyDB, Meta’s most widely-used key value store. As a bonus, it also enables admission control, load balancing, cross-region resilience, and richer operations. ZippyDB is the most widely used key value store at Meta, backing product metadata, counters, and configuration, and can serve billions [...] Read More... The post ZGateway: Learnings from Putting a Proxy in Front of ZippyDB appeared first on Engineering at Meta.
Any input/output operation, be it accessing a file, handling an HTTP request, or a database connection, is based on 3 fundamental system concepts — file descriptors, kernel memory, and heap size. This article discusses how modern languages help developers handle behind-the-scenes file descriptor, kernel memory, and heap management. These three concepts are major bottlenecks for scaling.
Invisible Unicode characters popularized for hiding instructions from AI models are now being used to obfuscate words before email filters parse them. The post ASCII smuggling crosses over from AI prompt injection to phishing evasion appeared first on Microsoft Security Blog.
