The Ultimate Guide to AI Infrastructure
A curated Kiwi edition of TechDay news, analysis, interviews, reviews, job moves, and related resources for AI Infrastructure.
What to know about AI Infrastructure
AI Infrastructure explores the hardware, software, and systems that make modern artificial intelligence possible. This tag covers everything from compute and storage architectures to networking, data pipelines, and observability stacks that keep AI workloads reliable and efficient.
Stories here dig into practical questions: how to design scalable training and inference clusters, choose between GPUs and emerging accelerators, manage feature stores, and orchestrate distributed workloads. You’ll find discussions of MLOps practices, cost optimization, performance tuning, and the trade-offs behind different infrastructure patterns.
Whether you’re building a new AI platform or evolving an existing stack, this tag helps you understand the components, constraints, and design decisions that sit underneath AI products. Reading these pieces will give you concrete examples, architectural patterns, and lessons learned that you can apply to your own systems.
