Semantic Caching: What We Measured, Why It Matters

Jul 31, 2025 By Rahul Raj In Catchpoint

Semantic caching promises to make AI systems faster and cheaper by reducing duplicate calls to large language models (LLMs). But what happens when it doesn’t work as expected? We built a test environment to find out. Through a caching system, we evaluated how semantically similar queries would behave. When the cache worked, response times were fast. When it didn’t, things got expensive. In fact, a single semantic cache miss increased latency by more than 2.5x.

Smarter debugging with Sentry MCP and Cursor

Jul 31, 2025 By Cody De Arkland In Sentry

Debugging a production issue with Cursor? Your workflow probably looks like this: Alt-Tab to Sentry, copy error details, switch back to your IDE, paste into Cursor. By the time you’ve context-switched three times, you’ve lost your flow and you’re looking at generic suggestions that don’t show any understanding of your actual production environment or codebase.

Jul 31, 2025 By Sandeep Tiwary In Broadcom

If you're feeling like your network operations just keep getting more complicated, you're not wrong. One of the core promises of cloud models was improved simplicity. However, the ensuing reality for your network operations teams has been anything but simple. Suddenly, users and applications are everywhere. Traditional, on-premises equipment now coexists with software-defined wide area networks (SD-WANs), cloud-hosted resources, and hybrid connections that hop across public and private networks.
