What we’re learning by building and running platforms - written by the engineers doing it.
LiteLLM turns model choice into configuration instead of a rewrite, and makes it possible to route regulated data to hardware you own. It also concentrates every key you have in one process, which is the part worth engineering for.
Four one-off integration scripts, none of them composing. The answer was not a fifth script - it was a platform, and a runnable simulation that demonstrates the design rather than asserting it.
BigCommerce published its own case study on the platform we build and run for Blooms The Chemist: 130 independently owned pharmacies on one system, prescription checks in the checkout, and vaccination bookings at national scale.
In 2020 we argued the cloud had become an operating system for the internet. Six years on the argument holds, but the shell moved, and it was never about one provider.
A new IETF draft proposes a credential broker for AI agents: the agent never holds the real key. It is early, it is unfinished, and it is pointed straight at a problem we keep meeting in production.
Google published its own customer story about us: two engineers took Sundays Insurance live with Strava across Australia, the UK and the US inside twelve weeks - then held it together through a 20-million-user mailout.
The most dangerous AI failure isn't a crash - it's a model that keeps answering, confidently, after the world changed underneath it.
Everyone builds. Almost nobody stays. Why running platforms - including ones we didn't build - is the most valuable thing we do.
Pharmacy retail ran on a gap: the point of sale knew the price, the shelf label didn't. Closing it meant building something that had never existed.
AI makes each of our engineers several. Here's what that actually means inside real client work - and what never changes.
Our Bondi Icebergs innovation event, in an 8-minute film: Blooms The Chemist's CIO Martin Olds, futurist Ross Dawson and 33BONDI's Jim Watts on where the customer is heading - supported by BigCommerce, Google Cloud, WP Engine and Okta.
