Testing LLM backends for performance with Service Mocking

While incredibly powerful, one of the challenges when building an LLM application (large language model) is dealing with performance implications. However one of the first challenges you'll face when testing LLMs is that there are many evaluation metrics. For simplicity let's take a look at this through a few different test cases for testing LLMs.

Using Proxymock with AWS Services

Amazon Web Services, or AWS, offers a variety of cloud services ranging from AWS resources such as CDNs and data lakes to cloud computing and transformation services such as compute resources, virtual servers, and dynamic availability zones. For this reason, AWS cloud is one of the most broadly adopted cloud solutions, offering a global network of solutions at generally lower costs compared to on-premises solutions.

OpenTelemetry's Hidden Superpowers: The OTEL Collector

Catch the replay of this in-depth and practical webinar where experts Nočnica Mellifera and María de Antón unveil the real power of the OpenTelemetry Collector. In this hands-on session, we cover: Whether you’re new to OpenTelemetry or deep into building observability pipelines, this session will help you fine-tune your setup, reduce noise, and boost performance.

Critical Requirements for Modern API Monitoring

Enterprises lose millions annually due to API outages and performance degradation. Modern observability strategies are crucial to mitigate these risks. Today, almost every system is dependent on APIs. Data integration, authentication, payment processing, and many other functions rely on multiple reliable and performant APIs. Banks around the world, for example, have adopted the Open Banking API for payments, credit scoring, lending origination, fraud detection, and lots more.

Calico Open Source 3.30: Exploring the Goldmane API for custom Kubernetes Network Observability

Kubernetes is built on the foundation of APIs and abstraction, and Calico leverages its extensibility to deliver network security and observability in both its commercial and open source versions. APIs are the special sauce that help automate and operationalize your Kubernetes platforms as part of a CI/CD pipeline and other GitOps workflows. Calico OSS 3.30, introduces numerous battle-tested observability and security tools from our commercial editions. This includes the following key features.

How to Use Playwright to Validate an API Response Schema (PWT-Native and Zod)

In this video, Stefan Judis, Playwright ambassador, explores ways to apply schema validation for API responses. We dive into three detailed examples: By the end of this tutorial, you'll learn how to employ Playwright's native methods or a JSON validation library such as Zod to ensure your API responses meet expected schemas.

Benefits of Developers Using Service Mocks #speedscale #shorts #mocks #servicemocks #programming

Nate Lee discusses the benefits of developers using service mocks, highlighting how they allow teams to simulate APIs and external services during development and testing. This approach enables developers to work independently of backend systems, reduce dependencies, and catch issues early, ultimately improving productivity and software quality.
