Proactive Monitoring: How DinoCloud Uses CloudWatch to Save Clients Money

At MetricFire, we love talking with engineers about their tech stacks, SRE challenges, and how they approach infrastructure monitoring. Recently, we had a great chat with Yoimer Roman from DinoCloud, a Latin American company that helps clients make smarter business decisions by leveraging AWS CloudWatch monitoring. Yoimer wears many hats: mentoring his team on all things AWS, designing custom cloud environments, and bridging the gap between technical challenges and non-technical stakeholders.

Using CircleCI to test and deploy Python serverless functions on Microsoft Azure

Serverless computing simplifies app development by abstracting away server management. Azure Functions provides a robust platform for event-driven, on-demand code execution. In this tutorial, we’ll create and deploy a Python-based Azure Function—one that parses incoming JSON—using CircleCI. For a more granular and enable programmatic access to Azure resources, we’ll use service principal for secure authentication and the Azure CLI orb to streamline our CI/CD pipeline.

Unlocking Edge AI: a collaborative reference architecture with NVIDIA

The world of edge AI is rapidly transforming how devices and data centers work together. Imagine healthcare tools powered by AI, or self-driving vehicles making real-time decisions. These advancements rely on bringing AI directly to edge devices. However, building a robust architecture for diverse edge environments presents significant hurdles. This blog introduces our new reference architecture, designed to simplify edge AI deployment.

Building optimized LLM chatbots with Canonical and NVIDIA

The landscape of generative AI is rapidly evolving, and building robust, scalable large language model (LLM) applications is becoming a critical need for many organizations. Canonical, in collaboration with NVIDIA, is excited to introduce a reference architecture designed to streamline and optimize the creation of powerful LLM chatbots. This solution leverages the latest NVIDIA AI technology, offering a production-ready AI pipeline built on Kubernetes.
