Everyone’s talking about AI agents, including us. But making agents actually useful in a business context – not just a clever demo – requires more than a chat prompt. You need orchestration: a way to give agents access to real tools, enforce structure on their outputs, and debug them when things go sideways.

At Beezwax, we’ve been building AI agents on top of n8n, an open-source workflow automation platform. n8n acts as the control plane: it handles triggers, authentication, tool routing, and LLM orchestration so we can focus on the business logic.

Maintaining the health and security of your Linux servers is more crucial than ever. With any server, you should be using real-time monitoring solutions, and performing backups every day (or more often, depending on data use). And, while you can rely on the OS to automatically install updates–especially on Windows and Mac–with Linux you benefit from a more “managed” approach to regular maintenance.

When making changes to a FileMaker file or a FileMaker Server’s configuration, it is often useful to know if the changes have helped, or made things worse, or perhaps had no effect at all. FileMaker’s Stats.log generates some data needed to summarize this, with some help from monitoring and analysis tools, or in this case, a Python script.

This is an introduction to git. I designed this first for non-coders, and have tried to make it useful for anyone who wants to learn more fundamentals of git. We’ll do everything locally, so feel free to follow along.

Hopefully this introduction will show you how git can be used, and how it fits into things like GitHub.

GitOps with GitHub Actions

Today we’re going to talk about GitOps with GitHub Actions, including an example of this workflow:

A developer team creates a new branch, with a Pull Request (PR), which triggers a GitHub Action, which runs AWS CodeDeploy, which deploys the application code update from GitHub to a web application on an Amazon EC2 instance.

Originally presented at Beezwax’s internal “Developer Show & Share”, this video presentation covers “GitOps with GitHub Actions” by Victor Olivo, Beezwax DevOps Engineer.
