Software leaders who are building applications based on Large Language Models (LLMs) often find it a challenge to achieve reliability. It’s no surprise given the non-deterministic nature of LLMs. To effectively create reliable LLM-based (often with RAG) applications, extensive testing and evaluation processes are crucial. This often ends up involving meticulous adjustments to prompts.

The Need for Visibility in the Cloud. The cloud is science, not magic. By now, we should all appreciate that cloud providers take away the huge overhead of building, maintaining, and upgrading physical infrastructure, and allow organizations to better focus on their own core competencies. However, with public clouds abstracting organizations’ underlying physical layers, only showing the logical/virtualized views, and with distributed systems across on-prem and multiple public clouds, system oper

Clia was handed a pile of legacy code and told to upgrade it, but with a very important rule attached: the functionality couldn't change. Any change could break someone's workflow, and thus in the upgraded system, even the bugs had to be reproduced. Unlike most "legacy" code , this wasn't all that old- it was written in C#. Then again, C# is old enough to drive, so maybe it is old.
