The few lingering doubts I may have had about the mainstreaming of cloud computing were eliminated yesterday when I saw a television commercial touting cloud-connected stuffed animals that use a mobile app and a public cloud service to allow parents and children to exchange brief audio messages. I couldn’t help but think, had such a thing been available when I was a child, that my older brother would have used it to send me scary messages from the shadows of my bedroom in the middle of the night

Check out this post by Glenn Donovan: The History of Middleware. From the enterprise service bus (ESB) to the integration competency center (ICC), he has a lot to say about the good, bad and ugly of legacy enterprise application integration (EAI) and extract, transform and load (ETL) technologies. The central theme – it’s about the need for simplicity and speed, which has become even more critical for successful cloud integration deployments.

Last time I wrote an article on MCMC and how they could be useful. We learned how MCMC chains could be used to simulate from a random variable whose distribution is partially known i.e. we don’t know the normalizing constant. So MCMC Methods may sound interesting to some (for these what follows is a treat) and for those who don’t really appreciate MCMC till now, I hope I will be able to pique your interest by the end of this blog post.

Standard reports stink. Custom reports rock! If you are a regular reader of this blog, you are quite familiar with this sentiment. I've expressed it often. :). The primary reason is simple: You are unique. Your business is unique. Why would a report created for everyone work for the special someone that you are? There are other great reasons as well.

According to a recent article in the New York Times , “half of American adults had their personal information exposed to hackers last year alone. As more and more services , infrastructure , and personal information move online, they have all become targets for hackers, who constantly scan the Internet for potential security holes and entry points.” Other reports project cybercrime costs to exceed two trillion dollars by 2019.

The things that I find hard to understand push me to my limits. One of the things that I have always found hard is Markov Chain Monte Carlo Methods. When I first encountered them, I read a lot about them but mostly it ended like this. The meaning is normally hidden in deep layers of Mathematical noise and not easy to decipher. This blog post is intended to clear up the confusion around MCMC methods, Know what they are actually useful for and Get hands on with some applications.

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.
