LLMOps is a considered, well structured response to the hurdles that come with building, managing and scaling apps reliant on large language models. From data preparation, through model fine tuning, to finding ways to improve model performance, here is an overview of the LLM lifecycle and LLMOps best practices.

An overview of stream processing: core concepts, use cases enabled, what challenges stream processing presents, and what the future looks like as AI starts playing a bigger role in how we process and analyze streaming data

Deploy a reference application that shows you how to do real-time predictive analytics on sensor data from a simulated fleet of 3D printers.

Analyze clickstream data in real time using Python. Trigger frontend events and show aggregations in a real-time dashboard using Quix, Streamlit and Redis Cloud

The main difference between these two serverless compute platforms is that AWS Fargate takes care of the underlying VMs, networking, and other resources you need to run containers using ECS or EKS, whereas AWS Lambda lets you run standalone, stateless functions without having to consider any of the infrastructure whatsoever.

The main difference between them? ECS and EKS are container orchestration services for Docker and Kubernetes that simplify the deployment, management, and scaling of containerized apps. Meanwhile, Fargate is a serverless compute engine that works with both ECS and EKS, removing the need to manage underlying server infrastructure.

Learn how to fork our new computer vision template and deploy an application that uses London's traffic cameras to gauge current congestion by leveraging object detection to count vehicles.

Discover event-driven programming (EDP) use cases and technologies, and learn about the relation between EDP and event-driven architecture (EDA).

The main difference between them? Kafka is an established Java-based data streaming platform, with a large community and a robust ecosystem. Meanwhile, Redpanda is an emerging, Kafka-compatible tech written in C++, with an architecture designed for high performance and simplicity.

We explore the differences between Kafka and ActiveMQ, and which use cases each are best suited to.

Quix 2.0 is here 🚀 Designed around the concept of Infrastructure-as-Code, Quix 2.0 makes it easier to build and run reliable, powerful event-streaming applications that scale, with a single source of truth powered by Git.

The main difference between them is that Kafka is an event streaming platform designed to ingest and process massive amounts of data, while RabbitMQ is a general-purpose message broker that supports flexible messaging patterns, multiple protocols, and complex routing.

The main difference between Spark and Beam is that the former enables you to both write and run data processing pipelines, while the latter allows you to write data processing pipelines, and then run them on various external execution environments (runners). But what are the other differences between Spark and Beam, and how are they similar?

Explore the characteristics, challenges, and benefits of machine learning pipelines, and read about the steps involved in training and deploying ML models to production.

An in-depth comparison of Apache Kafka and Pulsar, covering criteria such as architectural differences, operational attributes, developer experience, ecosystems, deployment options, and security.

Teams can now build AI applications on Confluent’s data in motion, with Quix, the AI-ready event streaming application framework.

What is real-time machine learning? How is it different from batch ML? What are common real-time ML use cases? What are the challenges of building real-time ML capabilities? All these questions and more are answered in this article.

Explore the evolution of new tools for real-time pipelines that aim to solve the ongoing problem of data scientists' need for more infrastructure expertise.

Should data scientists know Java? Java and Scala underpin many real-time, ML-based applications—yet data scientists usually work in Python. Someone has to port the Python into Java or adapt it to use a Python wrapper. Neither of these options is ideal, so what are some better solutions?

Explore the fundamentals of time series analysis in this comprehensive article. Learn about key concepts, use cases, and types of time series analysis, and discover models, techniques, and methods to analyze time series data.

Gain a thorough understanding of telemetry data and how it works, learn about its benefits, challenges, and applications across different industries, and discover technologies you can use to operationalize telemetry.

Explore the unique features and limitations of Apache Kafka and Apache Flink and learn how these open source streaming titans can either join forces or operate independently.

A look at the most common causes of Kafka's "unknown topic or partition" error along with practical steps and solutions to help you fix it.

Using ksqlDB for real-time feature transformations isn't as easy as it looks. I revisit the strategy to democratize stream processing and examine what's still missing.
