The edge computers are transforming personalization into e-commerce. The cloud is becoming the factory, not just the showroom, as personalization moves to the edge. Here’s a common scenario we see with our retail customers. Buyer Click through your homepage. Their intention is clear. You have five seconds, maybe less, to try to understand them. Only […]
Why AI systems use vector databases to improve performance and reduce costs
AI training is resource-intensive. It takes massive data sets, advanced algorithms, and specialized hardware (read: expensive GPUs) to teach a model how to understand language, image, or audio. But even after that training is complete, the inferences that run (the process of generating outputs) may be taxed in the same way. Real-time LLM question for […]
Open source & full managed: Databases working with AIVE on AKAMAI
Virtually there is no application without a database in one form or another. User data and behavior, product information, and all operating details need to be stored and made available for recovery and manipulation. There are different databases for different needs, but we can say that the most widely used are relational databases. Mysql and […]
Three ways to launch Linode Kubernets Engine Enterprise
Linode Kubernets Engine Enterprise (LKE Enterprise) launched in limited availability on June 5, and with this launch, we wanted to emphasize three ways to create the first cluster of your enterprise. This blog includes brief instructions for the use of Cloud Manager, The Linode Cli, and Terraform. If you do not already have access to […]
Because observability tools tend to fail scale
Observability is no longer just about capturing error or checking if a server is added. In modern distributed systems, it is about understanding behavior around dozens, if not thousands, of services, all that work in different environments and generate massive amounts of data. That level of complexity is exactly why choosing the right observability tool […]
Ensuring border-security navigation in integrated LLM systems
In previous parts of this series, we have explored the exciting new ways of large language models (LLMs) can integrate with APIs and act as smart agents. We have seen how LLMs and arousal interact, and we have seen how to move from basic tool descriptions to complex rules-based book design to guide them. But […]
A year of hot migrations
A year ago Akamai released hot migrations to the Linode platform for both data and host migrations, and size operations. During a traditional cold migration, the target linode is turned off, its data copied to a new host, and the new linode is started. Hot migration is different from traditional cold migration in […] Game […]
Introduction of Akamai Cloud Pulse: Observability for your cloud infrastructure-now in open beta
We are excited to announce that Akamai Cloud Pulse is now entering the open beta for all managed Akamai database customers. After successfully closed beta testing, we are ready to provide you with real-time insights into your database performance and resource use. Because observability is important in the world driven by today’s application, cloud infrastructure […]
Prompt as a Rules Book-guide LLM agents beyond the basic instructions
In our journey of integrating large language models (LLMs) with traditional APIs, we have seen how the new Prompts become the new “Docs API”, which describe what a tool can do. All this sounds from the first simple at first. You give LME access to some tools, describe them, and voilà, you have a smart […]
Skip complexity: Akamai platform app makes kubernets ready for production-now in ga
Kubernets is a platform platform. However, Kubernet platform engineering initiatives are not always a guarantee for success. In addition, there is a good chance of exceeding the initial budgets. Why? Because building kubernet-based platforms is not an easy task! Platform engineering involves a wide range of tools and technologies that can be great and time […]
