Recording of my AI platform engineering talk
The talk discusses how platform engineers can navigate AI support, emphasizing the need for middleware, customer engagement, and rapid experimentation.

Somewhere between 40% and 60% of apps run on private cloud, you just never hear about it.
 
                        
                    
                
            How to make MCP Prompts in Java with Spring AI - Coding Model Context Protocol Prompts - Solo roleplaying D&D with agentic AI, #04
Let’s get the AI to build D&D adventures for us with a Model Context Protocol Prompt. I haven’t found much value in MCP Prompts until now. What makes them excited is when you use them a “recipe” to chain together other tool calls. In this episode of my MCP programming series, I show you how to make two MCP Prompts. First, a simple one that boot-straps playing D&D. Second, a more complex one that pulls together an adventure overview using multiple tools and “reasoning.
                        
                            
                        
                    
                
            How to create a Model Context Protocol Resource - Solo roleplaying D&D with agentic AI, #03
The AIs are good at being a Dungeon Master for Dungeons & Dragons, but their memory is limited. How can you make sure they don’t forget all that loot you just got, or ensure that cobbler back in the village remembers the type of boots you orders and paid for up front? I’ll show you how to use Model Context Protocol (MCP) to create a DM Journal. This is done by writing an MCP Server tool that write journal entries and then an MCP Server Resource that allows you to read them.
                        
                            
                        
                    
                
            Spy on the DM with Model Context Protocol Servers in Java - Solo roleplaying D&D with agentic AI, #02
Not only can you give more direction to the AI when you’re playing solo D&D with it, you can start to understand how it thinks. I walk through how to use MCP Server tools to enhance solo roleplaying with Claude (and ChatGPT, etc.) and how to get extra information about how the AI is thinking. Also, I show you how to do logging despite the weird setup Claude Desktop requires.
                        
                            
                        
                    
                
            Make an oracle with an MCP Server in Java with Spring AI - Solo roleplaying D&D with agentic AI, #01
Playing D&D with ChatGPT, Claude, or whatever is fun. But sometime you want more control over how it behaves and what it does. Check out this video for a quick tutorial on creating an oracle plugin for Claude. This “plugin” is a Model Context Protocol Server written in Java using Spring AI. Once you create the MCP Server, you can hook the oracle into Claude which will use it while you play as a simple yes/no oracle.
                        
                            
                        
                    
                
            What to put in tech marketing newsletters
I’m always telling my marketing friends that they should do more newsletters. They have so many objections and hurdles - mostly self-imposed ones. Here’s why I think they’re good, easy, and how to come up with things to put in them.
