Does running a Python function on Kubernetes just by adding @kubernetes on top of it sound too good to be true? Not to worry, we have a demo. Infrastructure Decorator resources in the 🧵 www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xyv8...

"Ramp moves fast. We need partners who do the same." Ryne Carbone and the team at Ramp moved 200 flows from Metaflow to Prefect in just 90 days. By the end of the quarter, they were managing 350+ flows with 70 active contributors. 🚀 www.youtube.com/watch?v=c0Jg...

Friends don't let friends re-run unchanged SQL. It’s Day 2 of launch week and today we're launching the Prefect dbt Orchestrator. Every model, seed, test, and snapshot runs as a Prefect task. Caching, per-node retries, and the same alerting your other Prefect work uses.

Every single complaint I’ve seen about MCP is either people thinking the only possible use case is developers using it to augment Cursor (30%) or the result of using the most lazily built MCP servers known to man (70%) and deciding that it’s the protocol’s problem. @jlowin.dev also wrote about this

Lastly, we're already working on FastMCP 3.1 with a new take on MCP Apps. I think it might be a bigger deal than 3.0.

Most of the work went into rearchitecting the framework to be production-ready for where MCP is going in 2026. But if we did our job right, you shouldn't be able to tell. You'll just notice everything works *better*. www.jlowin.dev/blog/fastmcp...

Kudos again to the @prefect.io crew on doing documentation right for the AI era. I love everything about this -- mcp server, llms.txt and copy as markdown shortcut behavior
The FastMCP documentation is available in multiple LLM-friendly formats:
​
MCP Server
The FastMCP docs are accessible via MCP! The server URL is https://gofastmcp.com/mcp.
In fact, you can use FastMCP to search the FastMCP docs:

Copy
import asyncio
from fastmcp import Client

async def main():
    async with Client("https://gofastmcp.com/mcp") as client:
        result = await client.call_tool(
            name="SearchFastMcp", 
            arguments={"query": "deploy a FastMCP server"}
        )
    print(result)

asyncio.run(main())
​
Plain Text Formats
The docs are also available in llms.txt format:
llms.txt - A sitemap listing all documentation pages
llms-full.txt - The entire documentation in one file (may exceed context windows)
Any page can be accessed as markdown by appending .md to the URL. For example, this page becomes https://gofastmcp.com/getting-started/welcome.md.
You can also copy any page as markdown by pressing “Cmd+C” (or “Ctrl+C” on Windows) on your keyboard.

In a recent post, @chris.blue argues that MCP is an unnecessary and temporary kludge on the decline and facing an uncertain future. IMO it standardizes how agents have stateful, identity-aware conversations. aaazzam.substack.com/p/the-apolog...

As an open-source maintainer, one of the hardest things is saying "no" to well-designed features that are simply not a good fit. With LLMs able to generate volumes of code without context, the maintainer's role as a thoughtful curator has never been more important. www.jlowin.dev/blog/oss-mai...
