Microservices and Machine Learning: Harnessing AI in Distributed Systems


The fusion of microservices and machine learning represents a pivotal evolution in software architecture and artificial intelligence.


Microservices architecture, characterized by its compartmentalized yet interconnected design, offers benefits such as improved resilience, increased development speed, and more efficient deployment processes. Machine learning empowers systems with the ability to learn from data, improve decision-making, and offer personalized experiences.


Smart companies are putting these two revolutionary technologies together with amazing results. Together, these technologies allow for the scalable, flexible implementation of AI across distributed systems, driving continuous improvement and innovation.

Maybe GenAI’s Impact Will Be Even Bigger Than We Thought?


Generative AI, while objectively game-changing, has some practitioners wondering if its true power is still underestimated, not over-hyped. That's a hard prospect to wrap your head around for anyone who's read up on the topic of AI over the past year or so.


Alex Woodie at Enterprise AI relates some of the current thinking among industry leaders, of whether or not we're looking at a bigger force in the business world than it seems even now.

Making Code Explain Itself – Observability Through AI


As any coder will tell you, the amount of time actually spent coding can be a fraction of the overall job. Credible studies show the amount of time a coder spends coding is somewhere near 10%.


A large chunk of the remainder of your time might be spent communicating software design and behavior in meetings and the like. A great way to reduce the amount of time needed to do it is by having the code do the work explaining itself.


That way, we can spend more time doing what we love: coding.
