Welcoming Anastasia Mallikopoulou
Anastasia Mallikopoulou joins NOFire AI as a Member of Technical Staff on the Orchestration & Context team, working on how production knowledge is retrieved, represented, and served to agents. She joins from Nubificus, where her centre of gravity moved from building machine learning models to building the systems that have to run them.
Following a Kafka Stall Across a Hop
The outcome that matters with Kafka isn't access to the topic. It's visibility end to end: from the application, through the topic, to every application depending on it. Here's what that looks like in practice, following a stall past a healthy consumer into a downstream service that touches no Kafka at all.

Panagiotis Mavrikos joins NOFire AI as a Member of Technical Staff on the Core Infrastructure team, building the isolated, reproducible, and observable environments that let agents run safely in production.
The Sandboxing Manifesto
A sandbox is a falsifiable claim. "Sandbox" has been diluted until it guarantees nothing. Ours is a definition sharp enough to be proven wrong: seven checkable properties, enforced by hardware-level microVM isolation, not by configuration.
Introducing Kafka: Naming Poison Pills and Silent Lag
Kafka clusters, brokers, and topics join NOFire's Production Context Graph as first-class entities, and every consumer group resolves to the service that actually runs it. A broken message or a stalled consumer now gets the same evidence-backed root cause as a service incident, tied to the team and change behind it.
Welcoming Alexandros Sapranidis
Alexandros Sapranidis joins NOFire AI as Engineering Lead, owning engineering execution and helping turn the Context and Control Model into shipped, production-grade software.
Your service catalog is already wrong
Every service catalog is declared by hand and drifts from reality within weeks. That was a productivity tax when humans read it. Now that agents act on it, a stale catalog is a production risk. The fix is to stop declaring the catalog and start observing it.
