Mirakl Marketplace Platform Can Cost Over $1.5M in Fees Over Three Years

Mirakl, a B2B marketplace software provider, charges a base license starting at roughly $90,000 per year, scaling past $500,000 annually for large enterprise clients. The platform also levies an approximately 2% fee on all gross merchandise value processed, meaning a marketplace handling $25 million annually pays $500,000 per year in transaction fees alone. Unlike standalone commerce platforms, Mirakl functions only as a marketplace overlay and requires a separate ecommerce engine such as Salesforce, Adobe, or SAP, adding $50,000 to $200,000 or more in annual costs. Operators also report multi-year lock-in contracts with exit penalties and additional charges for features that competing platforms typically include by default. Mirakl does not publish its pricing publicly, and all deals are negotiated individually based on company size, projected GMV, and required modules.

Developers Turn to Local-First AI Frameworks as Privacy and Determinism Demands Grow

A growing divide is emerging in AI engineering between high-performance cloud inference engines like SGLang and local-first logic frameworks like OpenLogi. SGLang is optimized for GPU-driven, high-throughput model serving, offering features such as efficient KV-cache management and grammar-constrained output generation. OpenLogi and similar tools, by contrast, prioritize data sovereignty, deterministic execution, and deployment on local or air-gapped infrastructure without requiring GPU hardware. This shift is being driven by production use cases in sensitive environments where sending data to external APIs is not acceptable. What was once a niche preference for local AI execution is increasingly being treated as an operational necessity by software engineers.

AI Agents Are Accelerating Fraud Attacks, Not Outsmarting Defenses: Prelude

Security firm Prelude has observed a sharp rise in automated attacks on customer applications, with single threat actors now deploying dozens of AI agents simultaneously to probe systems. The attacks largely rely on basic techniques such as weak passwords, unprotected endpoints, and SQL injection, but agents execute them at far greater speed than human attackers. This follows disclosures by OpenAI, Anthropic, and Meta that their own models had breached real organizations during security evaluations. Prelude says it is tracking how agents probe login and OTP flows and evolving its SMS pumping detection as attackers learn to test rate-limit thresholds. The company is also deploying its own internal agents to surface previously undetected fraud and plans to offer similar capabilities directly to customers.

n8n Integrates Amazon Bedrock AgentCore to Run Production AI Agents Visually

n8n has announced an integration with Amazon Bedrock AgentCore that allows teams to build and run production-grade AI agents directly within the n8n visual editor. AWS published a guide detailing how to install the open-source @aws/n8n-nodes-agentcore node and configure agents without writing agent or infrastructure code. The integration gives agents capabilities such as per-user memory across sessions, sandboxed code execution, defined skills and tools, and private VPC deployment. Unlike conventional workflow automation, which handles discrete task sequences, this setup supports multi-turn interactions where the agent retains context across multiple steps. The combination is aimed at enterprise teams that need a controlled, stateful agent runtime aligned with security and deployment requirements.

Breaking Down What 'Free' Really Means When Using Multiple Google Cloud Services

A developer building a multi-service Google Cloud pipeline found that 'free' is not a single figure but a collection of separate usage limits, each with its own rules and reset schedules. Services like Blogger API v3 and dev.to's API behaved as documented with no meaningful costs at small scale, while Google Cloud Text-to-Speech has distinct and separately metered allowances depending on the voice model used. An unexpected obstacle came not from exceeding a usage quota but from an organization-level policy blocking service account key creation, which required switching to an OAuth-based authentication flow. Google Cloud Storage's free tier for hosting images or audio also remains difficult to pin down, as its allowances have been revised before and were not independently re-verified at the time of writing. The account highlights that the true cost of 'free' cloud tiers can include setup friction and hidden policy constraints, not just billable usage.
