Jay Jenkins @jay.social · 29/10/2025Exciting! Akamai Inference Cloud with Nvidia is effectively extending the AI factory to the edge of the internet. This is the next logical step for cloud computing, and it’s a transformation we are uniquely positioned to lead. #AIinference #AIfactory 020
Jay Jenkins @jay.social · 03/04/2025In one hour, I'll be at the Wiz booth to talk about Wiz integration to Akamai Cloud and how they helped with our multicloud infrastructure for our own products. #KubeCon 020
Jay Jenkins @jay.social · 02/04/2025Just sat down for the keynote at KubeCon. Stop by the Akamai booth (N160) after if you want to catch up. #KubeCon 020
Jay Jenkins @jay.social · 12/12/2024Locating compute near power is a constraint, but the real goal, the vision, is to bring compute to the users. 000

Jay Jenkins @jay.social · 10/12/2024Their geek out led to more ideas from me. We were completely in a "yes, and" state of mind. Every time we hold back and don't share, we're killing ideas. Don't apologize -- they should thank you. 000
Jay Jenkins @jay.social · 10/12/2024Sometimes I get really excited about tech and its potential -- but only sometimes. I just received an email from a colleague talking about all of the things that might be true in the future. They apologized for geeking out. DON'T APOLOGIZE. We should allow ourselves to geek out more. 100
Jay Jenkins @jay.social · 28/11/2024Sideloading is a horrible term. We don't call installing apps outside of the Windows or Apple stores (on macOS) sideloading. Does it allow malware? Yes. Even active scanning and digital sigs aren't foolproof. However, gatekeepers extract a fee and small apps are hit the hardest. 🤷🏻♂️ 000
Jay Jenkins @jay.social · 28/11/2024Why doesn't Microsoft let us sideload it for now? Oh, it's because it undermines the court case. 150
Jay Jenkins @jay.social · 27/11/2024"Why pay $15 for pad thai when you can pay $45 for the ingredients to cook a worse pad thai?" There are a combo of things going on -- undervalued time, underestimated effort, stopgaps and layers of band-aids that hide the toil, business case limbo. 010

Jay Jenkins @jay.social · 23/11/2024Not "Challengers." "Contenders" is the better word. Each can have their own place. 010
Jay Jenkins @jay.social · 22/11/2024We launched some edge VMs this year. The feedback from customers is that containers were a better solution. Elasticity and portability are a priority. Challengers? Wasm, Hyperlight 110
Jay Jenkins @jay.social · 22/11/2024Excellent doc. I spend a lot of time thinking about how to enhance on-prem apps with #edgecomputing. Modernizing those on-prem apps with these concerns and approach in mind makes that a lot easier. 120

Jay Jenkins @jay.social · 20/11/2024When building any products for developers and engineers, it's important to keep this quote in mind. "Simple things should be simple and complex things should be possible." - Alan Kay 020
