URL: https://developers.googleblog.com/developers-guide-to-ai-agent-protocols/
Published: 2026-04-23 10:20
Summary:
This blog post introduces a suite of six protocols, such as MCP and A2A, designed to eliminate custom integration code by standardizing how AI agents access data and communicate Using a “kitchen manager” agent as a practical example, it demonstrates how these tools handle complex tasks like real-time inventory checks, wholesale commerce via UCP, and secure payment authorization through AP2 By leveraging the Agent Development Kit (ADK), developers can also implement A2UI and AG-UI to deliver interactive dashboards and seamless streaming interfaces to users.

This post pulls back the curtain on the Live Operations teams that enable this rapid scale.Humble BeginningsIn March 2023, the engineers who built Netflix’s first live streaming pipeline also operated it In the earliest days of live streaming, there was no dedicated operations team or formal broadcast operations center The software engineers who wrote the code and built the live-streaming infrastructure were the same people manually operating the events on launch night
2. Evaluating Netflix Show Synopses with LLM-as-a-Judge
Published: 2026-04-10 16:26
Summary:
Using recent advances in agents, reasoning, and LLM-as-a-Judge, we score four key synopsis quality dimensions, achieving 85%+ agreement with creative writers To improve reasoning accuracy, we leverage two forms of inference-time scaling:Longer rationales: increase the length of the rationale or explanation generated by the LLM prior to producing a final score.Consensus scoring: sample several outputs from the LLM and aggregate their scores to produce the final result.Tiered rationales We correlate synopsis performance (take fraction or abandonment) with LLM quality scores
3. Stop Answering the Same Question Twice: Interval-Aware Caching for Druid at Netflix Scale
Published: 2026-04-06 22:15
Summary:
Older data lingers much longer, because our confidence in its accuracy grows with time.For a 3-hour rolling window, the exponential TTL ensures the vast majority of the query is served from the cache, leaving Druid to only scan the most recent, unsettled data.BucketingIf we were to use a single-level cache key for the query and interval, similar to Druid’s existing result-level cache, we wouldn’t be able to extract only the relevant time range from cached results Without special handling, the cache would treat these empty buckets as gaps and re-query Druid for them every time.We handle this by caching empty sentinel values for time buckets where Druid returned no data Crucially, KVDAL supports independent TTLs on each inner key-value pair, eliminating the need for us to manage cache eviction manually.This two-level structure gives us efficient range queries over the inner keys, which is exactly what we need for partial cache lookups: “give me all cached buckets between time A and time B for query hash X.”ResultsThe biggest win is during high-volume events (e.g., live shows): when many users view the same dashboards, the cache serves most identical queries as full hits, so the query rate reaching Druid is essentially the same with 1 viewer or 100
