AGENTS.md Makes Your Java Codebase AI-Agent Ready

The year is 2026, and the way software is built has fundamentally shifted. We are no longer just writing code for other humans to read; we are building systems that AI coding agents, such as Cursor, GitHub Copilot Agent Mode, Claude Code, and autonomous CLI tools, will navigate, debug, and extend. As Java developers, we are blessed with robust tooling. If you are using Quarkus, you already possess a superpower: Supersonic Subatomic Java with an ultra-fast developer loop, continuous testing, and

Level Up Your Column-level Security: Using IAM Data Governance Tags in BigQuery

Many BigQuery customers rely on policy tags for protecting their sensitive information in BigQuery. Policy tags were the go-to solution for applying column-level access controls, allowing only users with the right permission to view sensitive columns like personally identifiable information (PII). It was a robust and effective system — for its time. However, data ecosystems have grown in complexity, and the tools we use to help secure them need to evolve with them. New challenges include creatin

13 hands-on demos to build on Gemini Enterprise Agent Platform

Earlier this year, we introduced Gemini Enterprise Agent Platform, where you can build, scale, govern, and optimize agents. Today, we’re sharing 13 demos that walk you through what Agent Platform can do. Each one teaches a concept, a pattern, or an architecture you can put to work immediately. The best part? You don't have to follow them step-by-step. Install Agents CLI into your favorite coding agent (Antigravity, Claude Code, Codex, whatever you use) and it instantly gets seven skills that mak
