Akamai Developers

Engineers are sharing the specific tools they are deploying right now to keep the focus on writing code. We interviewed folks at the AI Engineer World's Fair about their current builds. From policy enforcers checking architecture compliance to tools handling daily administration, everyone is focused on dedicating time to building software. Visit booth P14 to talk real systems architecture and grab some gear. You can also continue the conversation in our Discord server 👉 https://lnkd.in/gNS5NmdZ

The floor is open at the AI Engineer World Fair in San Francisco! To make finding us simple, we mapped out the exact route from the front doors right to our setup at Booth P14. If you are around the expo hall, stop by our space to: 🔷 Look under the hood of our live architectures and talk shop with our systems engineers. 🔷 Pick up some of our latest custom swag. 🔷 Enter our daily hardware raffle to win an open-source, analog Perceptron neural network kit. 👇 Check out the video below to spot the route, and we will see you out there!

Tomorrow evening, a group of AI founders, CEOs, and CTOs are gathering 39 floors up to talk straight infrastructure. No slides, pitches, or product presentations. This dinner reception is just a relaxed space to swap notes on the realities of running distributed networks, managing cloud nodes, and keeping latency steady under heavy production workloads. Join us to grab some great food, a drink, and catch up with peers navigating the same structural scaling hurdles. 🗓️ When: Tomorrow, Wednesday, July 1, 2026 | 4:30 PM - 6:30 PM 📍Location: Chic Soirees on the 39th Floor - The View Lounge 🎟️ Registration Page: https://ow.ly/rsva50ZiOCZ See you there! 🥂

We’re packing our bags (and our newest builds) for a multi-city summer tour! Our engineering and DevRel teams are heading out to connect with builders, creators, and tech leaders across two major upcoming events: 🌉 AI Engineer World Fair | San Francisco (June 29 - July 2) 🇪🇺 WeAreDevelopers World Congress | Berlin (July 8 - July 10) If you're attending either event, come by the Akamai Cloud booth to connect with our team and look under the hood of our live, interactive builds. We’ll be running infrastructure environments right on the showroom floor, featuring setups like our AI Orchestrator. Beyond the booth, our teams are also taking the stage for practical speaker sessions, breaking down how to deploy and scale production-ready infrastructure reliably. 👇 Check out a quick sneak peek of the booth tech in the video below, and let us know in the comments if you’ll be on the ground in San Francisco or Berlin!

Automating your inference environments ensures repeatable and reliable deployments. Developer Advocate Thorsten Hans mapped out a zero-touch infrastructure configuration on Akamai Cloud using a single Terraform manifest. When you execute terraform apply, the automation handles the entire stack: • Provisions a dedicated Linode instance with an NVIDIA RTX 4000 Ada GPU. • Configures the network firewall for secure inbound port access. • Leverages cloud-init to automate the kernel headers and NVIDIA driver installation. • Deploys Ollama as a systemd service and pre-pulls the qwen2.5:14b model. A few minutes later, you have a live endpoint fully configured and ready to receive incoming inference requests. 👉 Check out the blog post and access the code here: https://ow.ly/J9ZY50Zfje9

This Juneteenth, we’re taking a moment to reflect, learn, and recognize why this day matters. 🤎🖤 At Akamai, Ohana, meaning family, helps create connection and support for racially diverse talent, including Black, Hispanic, and Latinx Akamites and allies. It’s about building community, sharing resources, and making space for real conversations. Juneteenth reminds us that progress takes intention, and that showing up for one another matters.✊🏾

Heading to the AI Engineer World's Fair in San Francisco this year? The Akamai Cloud team will be on-site at Moscone West from June 29 to July 2. Members from our developer relations team, including Lena Hall, Du'An Lightfoot, Thorsten Hans, and Sheilah K. are hosting workshops and technical sessions throughout the event. 👉 Swipe through the carousel below to grab the exact dates, times, and topics to add to your schedule. If you will be on the floor, drop by Booth P14 to see the live setups, grab some community swag, or map out architecture ideas with the team. Let us know in the comments if you’ll be in town, we’d love to connect.
