Unlock Efficiency: Slash Costs and Supercharge Performance with Semantic Caching for Your LLM App!

A semantic cache for large language model (LLM) based applications introduces a plethora of advantages that revolutionize their performance and usability.  Primarily, it significantly enhances processing speed and responsiveness by storing precomputed representations of frequently used language elements.  This minimizes the need for repetitive computations, leading to quicker response times and reduced latency, thereby optimizing […]

OpenTelemetry: How to Observe a Dockerized Python Service in Google Cloud

Over the last couple of years, OpenTelemetry became the de-facto instrumentation standard for collecting and observing distributed service trace information. OpenTelemetry allows users to add standardized instrumentation code within their applications with the purpose of observing traces, metrics, logs and events independent of service implementation technologies and across all the major cloud vendors. Within this […]

Observability and the Challenge of detecting Anomalies in High Cardinal Data

Observability and monitoring of software service infrastructure is the basis for modern Site Reliability Engineering (SRE) and to successfully run and scale your IT infrastructure. As the digital transformation of business processes and the shift towards highly dynamic cloud infrastructures keeps on accelerating, the dependency on human operation teams poses a critical bottleneck.  Especially with […]

Learn to Deploy Cloud Apps with Google Cloud Skill Boost

Last week I stumbled across a great opportunity that was announced within the Google Cloud Blog, which I am regularly scanning for latest GCP innovations. They offered a 30 days free subscription for their new Google Cloud Skill Boost learning platform, which I immediately accepted. Eager to deepen my existing knowledge on GCP cloud services, […]

Explore your Dynatrace monitored Service Topology with an Open Source 3D Graph Browser

While designing the new generic Smartscape topology model in Dynatrace, I came across a tremendously useful 3D graphing project: force-3d-graph by vasturiano. Cudos to Vasturiano and his valuable contribution to 2D and 3D graph visualisation in JavaScript and within your local Browser. This library enabled the implementation of an Open Source 2D and 3D graph […]
