Why model development does not equal software development. Artificial intelligence is still in its infancy. Today, just 15% of enterprises are using machine learning, but double that number already have it on their roadmaps for the upcoming year. With public figures like Intel’s CEO stating that every company needs a machine learning strategy or risks being left behind, it’s just a matter of time before machine learning enters your organization, too—if it hasn’t already.

Overcome the challenge of maintaining code quality in a CI/CD workflow with Continuous Reliability. CI/CD practices encourage frequent code integration in development, speed up preparations for new releases and automate deployments. And with this new tooling, these parts of the software development lifecycle have all improved and accelerated. At the same time, the data that we use to evaluate the overall quality of a new release and of our application as a whole hasn’t changed much at all.

No two companies define Artificial Intelligence (AI) the same way, but they all insist they are doing it. Or at least some version of it. However, if AI is to mean something and be a useful term to help delineate different technologies and approaches from others, then it has to be meaningful. A term that [.].

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 story of hybrid application development is a never-ending one. Each framework has to continuously strive and innovate to remain relevant, and the discussion of which framework to use is a question often asked. Most hybrid applications are built using a combination of HTML, CSS, and JavaScript. These applications can range from WebView-based solutions (such as Cordova/PhoneGap) to ones that aren’t actually “hybrid”, but run natively on device (such as NativeScript ).

About two years ago I paid a visit to my university and some teachers and I were discussing the possibility of opening an embedded software lab for the students.

Multi-tenant architecture allows software vendors to realize tremendous efficiencies by maintaining a single application stack instead of separate database instances while meeting data privacy needs. When you use a data warehouse to power your multi-tenant analytics, the proper approach is vital. Multi-tenant analytics is NOT the primary use case with traditional data warehouses, causing data security challenges.

I have learned so much by following the Koa Js community and framework over the years. My first post on the topic was written in March 2014, when Koa was just a little tiny bird trying out its wings (look up that reference…). From that point I’ve written many posts , done a few screencasts for fun and other for profit. 4 years (MY GOD!) is a long period but in the JavaScript world it’s eons of time.

Environment variables are declared with the ENV statement and are notated in the Dockerfile either with $VARIABLE_NAME or ${VARIABLE_NAME}. Passing variables at build-time. The ENV instruction sets the environment variable to the value. The environment variables set using ENV will persist when a container is run from the resulting image. For example: FROM node:9 ENV PORT 3000 ENV NODE_ENV development.
