This article provides insights into how LLMs can be utilized to debug codebases, detailing their core capabilities, the methodologies used for training, and how the applications might evolve further in the future. Despite the issues with LLMs like...
Securing modern web applications is an important skill for any developer, and a foundational part of this is understanding how to manage user access. We just posted new course on the freeCodeCamp.org that will teach you about authentication and autho...
Today, Java is still one of the widely used languages to build and run applications, and for the same reason, organizations prioritize measuring its performance. When running a Java application on a multi-NUMA (Non-Uniform Memory Access) memory node, we need to pay attention to the remote accesses, if any, otherwise, that can result in increased latencies and hence result in reduced performance. The libnuma kernel...

In 2025, AI isnβt just about individual models doing one thing at a time, but itβs about intelligent agents working together like a well-coordinated team. Picture this: a group of AI systems, each with its own specialty, teaming up to solve complex problems in real time. Sounds futuristic? Itβs already happening β thanks to multi-agent systems. Two tools that are making this possible in a big way are Azure AI Foundry...
The Problem No One Talks About In an era where screens dominate bedtime routines, millions now fall asleep to YouTube videos, podcasts, or streaming apps. However, this habit has a hidden cost: uncontrolled volume exposure, especially for children. As a parent and developer, I faced this problem firsthand β my childβs late-night YouTube binges led to restless sleep and morning irritability. Free apps in the Google Play...
FOSDEM 2025 has come to a close, and it certainly was not without a lot of content and participation from Apache Software Foundation (ASF) members, committers, and contributors! We asked ASF participants to provide summaries and observations from this yearβs premier free software event, to share a small part of the work that ASF community members do for open-source software development. This blog provides a brief...

Large retail systems today, much like Walmart, operate multiple types of checkout registers across various services β pharmacy, auto care, fuel stations, photo centers, and more. These checkout points are not just limited to traditional frontend registers for scanning and payment, but encompass a broad array of service-specific interfaces. As the breadth of services grows, retailers are often left managing fragmented...
Ideas of creating a distributed computing cluster (DCC) for database management systems (DBMS) have been striking me for quite a long time. If simplified, the DCC software makes it possible to combine many servers into one super server (cluster), performing an even balancing of all queries between individual servers. In this case, everything will appear for the application running on the DCC as if it was running with...

A year nine student walks into class full of ideas, but when it is time to contribute, the tools around them do not listen. Their speech is difficult for standard voice systems to recognise, typing feels slow and exhausting, and the lesson moves on w...
When you talk to a large language model (LLM), it feels like the model understands meaning. But under the hood, the system relies on numbers, vectors, and math to find the relationships between words and sentences. One of the most important tools tha...
Keeping track of AWS spend is very important. Especially since itβs so easy to create resources, you might forget to turn off an EC2 instance or container you started, or remove a CDK stack for a specific experiment. Costs can creep up fast if you donβt put guardrails in place. Recently, I had to set up budgets across multiple AWS accounts for my team. Along the way, I learned a few gotchas (especially around SNS and...
Are you familiar with the Worker Pool Design Pattern? Yes, that design pattern is commonly used to limit the memory used. I made a visual interactive simulator where you can see it in action in a more visual way! You can also tune it: change the number of workers, task interval, and process time so you can play with it and see in real time how it behaves! Just scroll down to find it. It must be around the middle of the...
Building on what we started earlier in an earlier article, here weβre going to learn how to extend our platform and create a platform abstraction for provisioning an AWS EKS cluster. EKS is AWSβs managed Kubernetes offering. Quick Refresher Crossplane is a Kubernetes CRD-based add-on that abstracts cloud implementations and lets us manage Infrastructure as code.
Enterprise data solutions are growing across data warehouses, data lakes, data lakehouse, and hybrid platforms in cloud services. As the data grows exponentially across these services, it's the data practitioners' responsibility to secure the environment with secure guardrails and privacy boundaries. In this article, we will learn a framework for implementing security protocols in AWS and learn how to implement them...
For the vast majority of businesses, it's necessary to define when they are available to the public, and when we talk about availability, most of us tend to imagine a very simple example: "we're open Monday to Friday from 9 AM to 12 PM". It seems sufficient. But in real life, clients present much more varied scenarios: night shifts, specific exceptions, summer and winter seasons, schedules that depend on rules like...
Rigid structures are not sustainable. The same is true in project management and organizational agility: anything rigid is not sustainable β whether itβs a process, a framework, or an architecture. From my experience in leading technology programs across industries, the learning and observation are clear:rigid approaches may deliver in the short term, but adaptability is a must for long-term sustainability.
In Terraform, many configurations are dynamic, and you may build a list using conditional expressions that return null when not applicable. If those null values are passed directly to a resource (for example, in security_group_ids or depends_on), they can cause validation errors. The compact() function ensures that only valid, non-null elements are included, helping prevent such runtime errors during the apply phase.
Hi, Iβm the author of uuidv47. The idea is simple: keep UUIDv7 internally for database indexing and sortability, but emit UUIDv4-looking faΓ§ades externally so clients donβt see timing patterns. How it works: the 48-bit timestamp is XOR-masked with a keyed SipHash-2-4 stream derived from the UUIDβs random field. The random bits are preserved, the version flips between 7 (inside) and 4 (outside), and the RFC variant is...

Retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) enhances the factual accuracy and contextual relevance of large language models (LLMs) by connecting them to external data sources. RAG systems use semantic similarity to identify text relevant to a user query. However, they often fail to explain how the query and retrieved pieces of information are related, which limits their reasoning capability. Graph RAG addresses this...
Writing the same code repeatedly is poor practice in C# and doesnβt follow the Donβt Repeat Yourself (DRY) principle. But, there are many times in programming where you need to repeat commands, operations, or computations multiple times β perhaps cha...
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 topic, and howto get hands-on with learning about the topic as it relates to the Fluent...
TL; DR: AI FOMO β A Paradox AI FOMO comes from seeing everyoneβs polished AI achievements while you see all your own experiments, failures, and confusion. The constant drumbeat of AI breakthroughs triggers legitimate anxiety for Scrum Masters, Product Owners, Business Analysts, and Product Managers: βAm I falling behind? Will my role be diminished?β

Hey folks, Iβve been working on something I call SevenDB, and I thought Iβd share it here to get feedback, criticism, or even just wild questions. SevenDB is my experimental take on a database. The motivation comes from a mix of frustration with existing systems and curiosity: Traditional databases excel at storing and querying, but they treat reactivity as an afterthought. Systems bolt on triggers, changefeeds, or...
Hey folks, Some hours back there was a lively discussion here: Why is Protobufβs C API so clunky? I was in that thread too, tossing around ideas like βwhat if we could do user["id"] = 123; and have it fail at compile time if you tried user["id"] = "oops";β. The feedback I got there was super helpful β a few people pointed out I was basically forcing JSON-style dynamics into a static Protobuf world, which doesnβt really...
