Network
Standard Ethernet can't handle AI. Early attempts were brittle patches on a flawed foundation. Now, a massive industry alliance is re-architecting it from the ground up. This is the story of the Ultra Ethernet Consortium's revolution.
Observability
LLM observability is key for reliable AI apps. Traditional monitoring misses semantic errors. This guide covers four essentials: tracing, evaluation, prompt management, and analytics to build robust generative AI solutions.
How To
Want to use an npm package without installing Node.js? Learn how to use a simple shell alias with Podman or Docker to run any tool in an isolated container. This keeps your host system clean while giving you on-demand access to any package. Here’s how to set it up.
Network
For over two decades, InfiniBand has powered the fastest AI clusters through native lossless design, RDMA, and in-network computing—making it the performance king. Yet, NVIDIA’s tight integration and high costs have hyperscalers seeking open, Ethernet-based alternatives.
Data Center
AI breakthroughs aren’t just about GPUs—networks are the real bottleneck. Large-scale AI training jobs depend on rapid, lossless communication; even a 0.1% packet loss can slash GPU utilization by 13%. Job completion time now depends on robust, predictable network design.
Leadership
Is your workplace saying one thing but doing another? Discover how cognitive dissonance erodes trust, sparks stress, and what leaders can do to build a culture of true alignment and engagement.
Artificial Intelligence
Agentic AI is transforming the field, enabling fast, efficient, and affordable automation far beyond chatbots through small, specialized models. These Small Language Models (SLMs) can outperform large models in real-world tasks, powering the next generation of enterprise and on-device AI.
OpenShift
Know Kubernetes? You're closer to mastering OpenShift than you think. It's the K8s you know, but with enterprise power-ups built-in. Learn the key differences—from its strict security model to traffic management—and use our cheat sheet to get your apps running on OpenShift today.
The post explores modern communication protocols—REST, GraphQL, gRPC, HTTP/2, HTTP/3, Protocol Buffers over HTTP, and WebTransport—offering practical recommendations for backend, frontend, and API layers, examining tradeoffs in performance, compatibility, and maintainability.
Security
Legacy IT security models stifle innovation, forcing engineers to fight slow VPNs and restrictive laptops. Zero Trust shifts focus: never trust, always verify. It removes friction, boosts productivity, and protects your business, unlocking true agility and competitive advantage.
