What is Scalability?

The number of simultaneous requests that an application can successfully support is a measure of its scalability. The point at which an application can no longer successfully handle more requests is its scalability limit. When a key piece of hardware is exhausted and new or more machines are needed, this limit is reached. Scaling these resources can include any combination of CPU and physical memory (different or more computers), hard disc (larger hard drives, less "live" data, solid state drives), and/or network bandwidth (several network interface controllers, larger NICs, fibre, and so on).

AI in Customer Service: Revolutionizing the Helpdesk with 10 Cutting-Edge Examples

In the bustling world of customer service, where speed, personalization, and seamless interactions reign supreme, a new technological powerhouse has emerged to transform the support landscape—Artificial Intelligence (AI).

Crafting Prompt Sandwiches for Generative AI

Large Language Models (LLMs) can give notoriously inconsistent responses when asked the same question multiple times. For example, if you ask for help writing an Elasticsearch query, sometimes the generated query may be wrapped by an API call, even though we didn’t ask for it. This sometimes subtle, other times dramatic variability adds complexity when integrating generative AI into analyst workflows that expect specifically-formatted responses, like queries.

The Leading MLOps Tools

MLOps stands for Machine Learning Operations. MLOps refers to the set of practices and tools that facilitate the end-to-end lifecycle management of machine learning models, from development and training to deployment and monitoring. The primary objective of MLOps tools is to address the unique challenges associated with deploying and managing machine learning models in real-world scenarios.

Monitor gRPC calls with OpenTelemetry - explained with a Golang example

gRPC (Google Remote Procedure Call) is a high-performance, open-source universal RPC framework that Google developed to achieve high-speed communication between microservices. gRPC has Protobuf (protocol buffers) by default which would format or serialize the messages to a specific format that will be highly packed, highly efficient data. By its virtue of being a lightweight RPC, gRPC is suited for many use-cases. gRPC can be considered a successor to RPC, which is light in weight.
