Interest in vector databases is skyrocketing, as evidenced by Google Trends data. In its latest report, “Vector Databases Landscape, Q2 2024,” Forrester highlights over 20 vector databases, classifying them into two main categories: specialized native vector databases and multimodal databases that integrate vector storage within a broader data ecosystem.

Vector embeddings are essential in AI for converting complex, unstructured data into numerical vectors that machines can process. These embeddings capture the semantic meaning and relationships within the data, enabling more effective analysis and content generation. OpenAI, the creator of ChatGPT, offers a variety of embedding models that offer high-quality vector representations that can be used across various applications, including semantic search, clustering and anomaly detection.

SEATTLE — Kubernetes is a good fit for the scale needed to run generative AI applications. But GenAI poses a security problem that requires new approaches to protecting runtimes in Kubernetes applications. If anything, CloudNativeSecurityCon earlier this summer showed how deeply complex the problems become with new attack vectors that compound with GenAI.

Retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) is a widely used technique that augments large language models (LLMs) and GenAI apps by providing contextual information from external sources. This method can significantly mitigate LLMs’ annoying hallucination issues. For example, if you ask a GenAI app to write an article about sharks, a RAG approach helps to ensure that the AI doesn’t make up a new type of shark or create new “facts” about known species.

SEATTLE – Thomas Graf, one of the creators of Cilium, sees the cloud native security market changing, with the widespread adoption of containers used for AI APIs and new approaches to microsegmentation. Cilium, a Cloud Native Computing Foundation graduate, is built on eBPF (extended Berkeley Packet Filter). Graf also helped develop NSX and Open vSwitch at Nicira, which VMware acquired. At the heart of NSX is software-defined networking, which turns hardware switches into software.

Last month, Google announced that some of the engineers on its Material Web Components (MWC) team had been reassigned to work on its internal framework, Wiz. That’s led to questions about ongoing support for Angular Material. MWC is a library of reusable, customizable UI components built on the web component standard. The components follow Google’s Material Design guidelines, making it easier to create a consistent look for web applications.

In my first review of Tauri in January 2022, I noted that it is a framework to build desktop applications with any frontend framework and a Rust core. Since the Rust language has significantly advanced in popularity over the past two and half years, I thought it was worth revisiting Tauri again — especially since it recently introduced version 2.

Site reliability engineers (SREs) rely on service-level objectives (SLOs) to set the standards that the service-level indicators (SLIs) of an application must meet. These can include metrics like availability, response time, error rate or any other relevant indicator. Using SLOs is not new; they have long been used to align technical operations with business goals.

Cloud services are all over the place. For most people, the usual options (such as Google, iCloud, etc.) are fine. For others who demand more security and control, there are additional options, such as Nextcloud. Nextcloud is an open source platform that includes all the features you’ve grown accustomed to (such as files, editors, chat, version control and much more) and can be deployed to hardware on your network.
