  • How regulated companies build AI without sending data to third-party APIs
    Ilie Ghiciuc - 22 Apr 2026
    At some point in almost every AI project we work on with a regulated client, someone on the team says some version of the same thing: "We can't send that data outside." It usually lands like a problem. The obvious implementation path, connect your data to a capable hosted model, get results back, iterate, suddenly has a wall across it. SOC 2 compliance, data residency requirements, security perimeters built around credentials and sensitive client information: any of these can make the default approach to AI architecture a compliance violation rather than a technical decision.
  • Edge computing vs. cloud computing: how to choose your architecture
    Tudor Iordache - 16 Apr 2026
    The edge vs. cloud decision is a workload classification problem, not a technology preference. Five factors determine placement: latency tolerance, data volume, compliance requirements, resilience needs and infrastructure cost. Misallocation in either direction carries measurable consequences, defaulting to cloud accumulates latency debt and egress costs at scale, while premature edge investment introduces operational complexity before the business case is established. Organisational readiness is an independent variable that shapes when edge adoption is viable, separate from whether it is technically warranted.
  • Infrastructure-as-a-code-iac-mvp
    Tudor Iordache - 12 Dec 2023
    The conversations that surround a new product build tend to focus on the visible parts: which features ship in version one, what the design system looks like, how quickly the first users can be in front of it. These are the right things to discuss, and founders are equipped to discuss them. The decisions that get less attention sit underneath: how the cloud environment is set up, how new versions get deployed, how a second engineer hired six months from nowwill be able to work on the product without breaking it. These choices are usually made early, often in the first few weeks of a build, and they tend to stay in place far longer than anyone expects.
