Snapshot Organization: NETINT, Supermicro, and Ampere® Computing Problem: The demand for high-quality live video streaming has surged, putting pressure on operational costs and user expectations. Legacy x86 processors struggle to handle the intensive video processing tasks required for modern streaming.
Text-to-SQL is quickly becoming one of the most practical applications of large language models (LLMs). The idea is appealing: write a question in plain English, and the system generates the correct SQL query. But in practice, the results are mixed. Without structured schema information, models often:
This series is a general-purpose getting-started guide for those of us wanting to learn about the Cloud Native Computing Foundation (CNCF) project Fluent Bit. Each article in this series addresses a single topic by providing insights into what the topic is, why we are interested in exploring that topic, where to get started with the […]
As large language models (LLMs) continue to grow in scale, the underlying hardware used for training has become the single most critical factor in a project’s success. The industry is currently locked in a fascinating architectural battle: the general-purpose power of NVIDIA’s GPUs versus the purpose-built efficiency of Google’s Tensor Processing Units (TPUs). For engineers […]
The site reliability engineering (SRE) community has tended to view reliability as a mechanical problem. So we have been meticulously counting “nines,” working on the failover groups, and making sure our autoscalers have all the least settings they need. But something appears to be metamorphosing threateningly: people are becoming increasingly lost in high-availability metrics like […]
In many enterprises, the transition from a “working” pipeline to a “production-ready” pipeline is gated by a manual checklist. In most enterprises, a “simple” Glue review involves answering questions like: Is the Glue job deployed? Was it provisioned via CloudFormation? Does the expected crawler exist? Is the code production-grade? Does it follow internal best practices? […]

Balancing process and progress is possible when actively pursued. Environments are distributed, constraints are real, and coordination across integrations can be complex. Companies deploy shared architectures and systems across business units that often maintain their own directories and applications alongside enterprise identity, service, and governance components. Maintaining perspective by knowing who the system serves, what […]

The Problem Pipeline failures interrupt development workflows. The typical remediation process: Scan through thousands of lines of build logs to find the error Understand the root cause Write the fix Test the change For common, repetitive failures — missing Terraform variables, incorrect region names, syntax errors—this wastes significant engineering time. We measured an average of […]
