Machine learning operations (MLOps) has become the backbone of efficient artificial intelligence (AI) development. Blending ML with development and operations best practices, MLOps streamlines deploying ML models via continuous testing, updating, and monitoring. But as ML and AI use cases continue to expand, a need arises for specialized tools and best practices to handle the particular conditions of complex AI apps — like those using large language models (LLMs).

The wins just keep coming! Today we celebrate fresh evidence of the mark we're making in the industry.

This is part four of seven in our Frugal Architect blog series. Read the rest of the series here. In case you weren’t as giddy as CloudZero was at re:Invent this past year, we wanted to recount the seven laws outlined by Werner Vogels, Amazon’s CTO, which he’s bundled into a framework called “The Frugal Architect” (check out the whole framework here). What is “The Frugal Architect”?

It’s been nearly ten years since “The Ultimate CPU Alert – Reloaded” and its Linux version were shared with the SolarWinds community. At that time, managing CPU data from 11,000 nodes, with updates every five minutes to a central MSSQL database, was a significant challenge. The goal was to develop alerting logic to identify when a server was experiencing high CPU usage accurately.

Imagine driving a car at night without headlights. It's risky, right? Without them, you can't see where you're going, and you might crash. Well, the same goes for visibility in enterprise networks. If you can't see how they're performing, you might run into problems with important apps, slow Internet, and unhappy customers. That's why having the right tools to see what's happening on your network is crucial. It's like turning on those headlights to make sure you're going in the right direction.

Backstage is gaining wide adoption for platform engineering teams looking to build internal development platforms. After implementing Backstage, data has shown an improvement in 2X of code changes, and a decrease of 17% in cycle time making a huge impact on the business delivery pipeline for organizations. Backstage with its rich plugin ecosystem, makes it possible to get full troubleshooting and security coverage you need across your entire pipeline in a single dashboard and interface.

Speeding up your website can feel like a complicated task. You might not understand all the technical terms you come across, like “leverage browser caching.” And if you are trying to fix everything yourself, it can take up a lot of time. Which I am sure you would not get into! So, you must be trying to decide between NitroPack and Perfmatters to speed up your WordPress website. As these are the two most commonly used plugins for speed optimization of WordPress sites.

The IT landscape is currently evolving faster than ever before, and the move to cloud-based solutions has emerged as a game-changer for businesses looking to future proof their infrastructure. However, the move to cloud solutions is not always straightforward and comes with challenges due to changes in management access.

The collaboration between development (Dev) and operations (Ops) teams is crucial for delivering high-quality software products and services efficiently. DevOps has emerged as a transformative approach that bridges the gap between these two traditionally siloed functions, fostering a culture of collaboration, automation, and continuous improvement.
