Personalized Flights to Intelligent Skies: How Agentic AI will Reshape the Future of Air Travel

Personalized Flights to Intelligent Skies: How Agentic AI will Reshape the Future of Air Travel

February 06, 2026

The aviation industry is already implementing AI solutions, but it is barely scratching the surface of the value AI can bring, according to Ali Pourshahid, Chief Engineering Officer and Alam Khan, Principal Architect, Solace. The industry is weighed down by diverse and siloed processes, preventing airlines from harnessing the full power of AI, in particular exploiting the undoubted potential of agentic AI. To release the power of agentic AI requires an event-driven integration strategy to connect masses of diverse and disparate data in real-time. Only then will airlines be able to understand the bigger picture and have the tools to transform the way we fly, from the point of customer booking, right down to in-flight emergencies.

The Digital Pulse of Smart Cities: How Real-time Data Fuels Urban Transformation

January 30, 2026 Scroll to page 71

As Southeast Asia continues to invest heavily in smart city infrastructure, the synergy between AI, sustainability, and urban development offers a pathway to greener, more resilient cities. According to Sumeet Puri, Solace CTSO, the real competitive edge lies in the seamless pairing of AI with a real-time data foundation. With seamless, real-time data, urban planners can anticipate challenges before they arise, respond faster to emergencies, and design city services that are both citizen-centric and environmentally sustainable. This way, smart cities can evolve beyond being engines of growth; becoming living, adaptive ecosystems that improve the quality of life while setting a global benchmark for innovation and resilience.

The hidden risk in Agentic AI

The hidden risk in Agentic AI

November 27, 2025

Solace Chief Engineering Officer Ali Pourshahid has one important thing to say about agentic AI: we can’t afford to repeat the mistakes of the microservices era. In this article, he argues that agentic AI promises enormous value, but only if it’s built on a foundation that supports independence, resilience, and scalability. Event-driven architecture provides that foundation, decoupling agents, supporting asynchronous operations, and ensuring the system can evolve over time without collapsing under its own complexity.

Future-proofing resilience for business continuity

Future-proofing resilience for business continuity

November 03, 2025

This feature article explores how the pace of digital transformation across the Asia-Pacific has created both opportunities and vulnerabilities. As more industries digitise operations, from manufacturing to finance, the potential consequences of downtime grow more serious. A single point of failure can now ripple through global supply chains, disrupt financial transactions, and even affect critical public services. For technology leaders, this is a moment to act rather than react. By embracing multi-cloud strategies and adopting event-driven architecture, organisations can move towards a state of constant readiness. They can transform uncertainty into confidence and ensure that the next outage, whenever it comes, will not define their future.

Optimise production with real-time data

Optimise production with real-time data

November 03, 2025

The promise of streamlining AI in manufacturing - with zero unplanned downtime, perfect quality, and optimal efficiency - is closer than ever. But that promise depends entirely on infrastructure that can keep pace, and not stand as a limiting factor to future AI innovation. This article argues that for manufacturing leaders, the mandate is clear: stop treating integration as a back-office IT concern and recognize it as the strategic capability that will define who benefits from the age of industrial AI. In a world where predictive maintenance can prevent million-dollar failures and supply chain AI can navigate global disruptions, the companies that thrive won't be those with the smartest algorithms. They'll be those whose data moves in real-time.

It’s make or break for Agentic AI: Don’t repeat the mistakes of microservices past!

September 29, 2025

Technology has a worrying habit of repeating its architectural mistakes. Early struggles implementing microservices — where tight coupling masked as modular design and point-to-point integrations often just descended into complex webs — introduced failures that brought entire systems down. Today, we’re witnessing the same mistakes with Agentic AI integration. Thankfully, the same remedy for microservices applies to the AI world in the form of event-driven architecture (EDA). This article explores how organizations who adopt EDA early can create AI systems that are inherently more resilient, scalable, and maintainable.

From vision to reality: Event-driven integration for the ASEAN Power Grid

From vision to reality: Event-driven integration for the ASEAN Power Grid

August 21, 2025

The ASEAN Power Grid (APG) is a major regional initiative aiming to connect electricity networks across 10 Southeast Asian countries. Its goal is to deliver clean, reliable, and affordable energy while addressing the region’s energy trilemma – strengthening security, ensuring equity, and advancing sustainability. However, since its proposal in 1997, progress has been slow, hindered by fragmented policies, infrastructure limitations, and financial challenges. Although momentum is once again building, there still remains one key oversight – building the physical grid isn’t enough; it needs a smart, real-time digital infrastructure to work. This article explores the merits of event-enabling the integration network, empowering energy systems to respond instantly to changes in supply and demand, mitigating power outages and safeguarding sustainability efforts.

Agentic AI is exposing the frailty of our creaking enterprise integration

July 31, 2025

Thousands of applications, potentially billions of data points, and increasingly intelligent agents are making decisions at the edge of operations. But beneath this surface lies an architectural flaw that’s about to become impossible to ignore – enterprise integration is broken.Today’s businesses demand more than data syncing and API orchestration. This article argues it requires real-time collaboration between people, applications, and now, increasingly, autonomous software agents powered by artificial intelligence. And those agents, unlike legacy systems, don’t wait for a nightly batch job or tolerate stale data. They act in milliseconds, they expect now.
