If you define your infrastructure as code, shouldn’t your workflow automation use the same as-code approach? That’s how Flowpipe works. Define workflows with HCL (HashiCorp configuration language), then run them using a single binary that you deploy locally, in the cloud, or in any CI/CD pipeline. Flowpipe embodies the same architectural ingredients you’ll find in any workflow tool: pipelines, steps, triggers, control flow. And it integrates with everything you’d expect from a tool in this category. But this isn’t ClickOps. You don’t use a diagramming tool to build integrations. Pipeline definitions are code artifacts that live in repositories as first-class…

OpenAI finally launched the much-awaited GPT store, which allows users to purchase and sell different GPTs based on OpenAI’s large language models. The store serves as a marketplace for personalized AI applications, allowing users to access various AI applications. Some examples of customized applications, shared by OpenAI, include Khan Academy’s Code Tutor for learning coding skills and Canva to design presentations or social posts. “The store features a diverse range of GPTs developed by our partners and the community,” said the OpenAI press release. The company claims that users have already created over 3 million versions of GPT in the…

Cloud Finops is the discipline of accounting and optimizing cloud computing expenses. It’s a reaction to years of undisciplined cloud spending, or a way to realign the use of cloud resources. All in all, this is a step in the right direction. However, it is rarely discussed as a path to improved security. Links to cloud security Effective cloud controls require a strong understanding of cloud usage patterns. What happens during normal operations? By identifying and monitoring cloud usage, Finops teams can detect anomalies. They can also spot most misconfigurations in cloud security and therefore potential security threats. The best…

AWS researchers are working on developing a large language model-based debugger for databases to help organizations solve performance issues in such systems. The new debugging framework, called Panda, is designed to work similarly to a database engineer (DBE), the company said in a blog post, adding that troubleshooting performance issues in the database can be “very difficult.” Unlike database administrators, who are tasked with managing multiple databases, database engineers are tasked with designing, developing, and maintaining databases. The researchers explained that Panda is an effective framework that provides context foundation to pre-trained LLMs to produce more “useful” and “in-context” troubleshooting…

I often spot trends by looking for common patterns in the questions reporters ask me. In most cases, they are much more in touch with the market than I am and are a good data point. First, if this happens, it probably won’t last long. Second, other viable options should be considered. Of course, the outlook is doom and gloom, with concerns that if businesses can’t get these processors for use in on-premises systems or in the cloud, they won’t be able to take advantage of the productive AI revolution. On demand. Fake problem? I’m the first to admit that…

Analysts believe that very few buyers will be able to get their hands on Pinecone’s new serverless vector database, called Pinecone Serverless. “If you can get the same functionality from the database you’re already using and managing your data with, why would you set up and manage a separate database, even if it has the scalability benefits of serverless?” says Principal Doug Henschen. said. Analyst at Constellation Research. Outside of mainstream vector databases such as Milvus, Weaviate, and Chroma, vector embedding and search features have either already been added or will soon be available to database service providers such as…

It’s been fun watching the recent evolution of .NET. Since .NET became an open source platform, it has finally fulfilled its cross-platform promise. Having cross-platform capabilities means you can also run .NET on any cloud. All you need is a supported Linux virtual machine host or a Kubernetes instance that supports distributionless containers. This is enough to run .NET code on infrastructure-as-a-service platforms like AWS or managed Kubernetes like Google Kubernetes Engine (GKE). Code can migrate from platform to platform using REST APIs to access platform services. In some cases, SDKs are available from the platform provider or developed by…

The salary transparency movement is on the rise, but on average women have a harder time talking about personal finances than men. Wells Fargo, in partnership with Female Quotient, a company that aims to increase the visibility of women, surveyed a representative sample of 3,200 American adults to understand how these taboos operate across genders. Here’s what they found: Women are more reluctant to share their financial information. On average, 52% of women were comfortable talking about their financial health, while 62% of men were comfortable. Additionally, 48% of women and 57% of men can talk freely about their debts.…

Walmart announced it will increase store manager pay and tie annual bonuses to store profits, according to a memo to employees from Cedric Clark, vice president of store operations. The first of the two-way wage changes involves store manager salaries. The average salary for a Walmart store manager will increase from $117,000 to $128,000 annually. But a Walmart store manager’s total annual earnings also depend on bonuses. Previously, this bonus was tied to store sales. That will still be the case, but now the store’s profits will play a larger role in determining the manager’s annual bonus. If a store…

Giannis Antetokounmpo is one of the NBA’s biggest, most popular stars. He led his team to the 2021 title, was named Finals MVP that year and was named the league’s overall MVP twice. But the 29-year-old, who grew up in Greece, never returned to his family’s native Nigeria. Until now. Ugo: A Homecoming Story is a short documentary from WhatsApp that follows the star’s first trip to Nigeria, seeing, touching and feeling a country, culture and family members he had only experienced from afar. Directed by Rick Famuyiwa (Dope, The Mandalorian, The Wood), the documentary follows Antetokounmpo through markets, cities…
