It was a sharp reminder of something every CIO and CTO already knows but sometimes underestimates: your Web Application Architecture is not just a technical foundation, it is the backbone of your business.

Gemini 3 is the latest state-of-the-art LLM from Google. It is not just an incremental update it’s a radical shift toward an agentic-first experience.
