You went to Spot VMs for the discount and did the homework: checkpoint code, a drain handler, a preemption survived. Then a job sat in Pending for days across three regions and never got a single L4. Scarcity grew a second half. Interruption is losing capacity you have; obtainability is failing to get capacity at all, and you can't checkpoint your way out of a stockout. Part 1 of the series that builds the probe the Compute Fallback Ladder left unbuilt.
Every resilience pattern you know assumes the machine shows up. Accelerator scarcity breaks that assumption, and the pattern catalogs have not caught up. Here is the Compute Fallback Ladder—an ordered set of rungs your workload can run on, a selector that picks the highest obtainable one, and a promotion path back up when capacity returns.
Traditional SDLC fails for autonomous AI. The Agentic Manifesto introduces the Agentic Delivery Lifecycle (ADLC)—a new operating model for engineering, governing, and tuning non-deterministic systems at scale.
A deep-dive playbook for building scalable, enterprise-grade AI agents. Learn how to move beyond monolithic designs by decoupling tools with a powerful microservices architecture using ADK, the Model Context Protocol (MCP), and Google Cloud Run.
