AI Is Not the Problem — Your Infrastructure Is
**Why do 70% of AI projects crash and burn before they ever see production?** Spoiler alert: it's not the AI that's broken.
In today's Platform Engineering Playbook, we're diving deep into the AI infrastructure crisis that's keeping CTOs awake at night. While everyone's racing to deploy the latest AI models, most organizations are discovering their legacy systems simply can't handle the load.
**What You'll Learn:**
• The real reason AI projects fail (hint: it's your infrastructure)
• How to build a unified data fabric that actually works
• Which legacy systems are sabotaging your AI ambitions
• Practical strategies for modernizing without breaking everything
**Episode Breakdown:**
00:00 - Cold Open: The 70% AI failure rate
02:15 - Platform Engineering News Roundup
08:30 - Deep Dive: The AI Infrastructure Disconnect
15:45 - Building Unified Data Fabrics
**Today's News:** Cloudflare & Mastercard's new security partnership, Amazon's R8g instance expansion, Pulumi's Google Sign-In support, Amazon vs. Perplexity AI legal battle, and Together AI's GPU cluster improvements.
