Lucene has a lot of options for configuring similarity. By extension, Solr and Elasticsearch have the same options. Similarity makes the base of your relevancy score: how similar is this document (actually, this field in this document) to the query? I’m saying the base of the score because, on top of this score, you can apply per-field boosts, function scoring (e.g. boost more recent documents) and re-ranking (e.g. Learning to Rank).

Earlier today, CVE-2019-5736 was announced regarding a runC container breakout. Given the high CVSS rating of 7.2, it is imperative to quickly patch your systems.
“I want to optimize cloud costs, my monthly bills are running high and we are overshooting our budgets, I thought by migrating to cloud we would end up saving!” Heard that before? This is the basic question from the senior management as to how can we lower the high-infrastructure cost once on the cloud.

Serverless has, for the last year or so, felt like an easy term to define: code run in a highly managed environment with (almost) no configuration of the underlying computer layer done by your team.
