Writer RAG tool: build production-ready RAG apps in minutes

RAG in just a few lines of code? We’ve launched a predefined RAG tool on our developer platform, making it easy to bring your data into a Knowledge Graph and interact with it with AI. With a single API call, writer LLMs will intelligently call the RAG tool to chat with your data.

Integrated into Writer’s full-stack platform, it eliminates the need for complex vendor RAG setups, making it quick to build scalable, highly accurate AI workflows just by passing a graph ID of your data as a parameter to your RAG tool.

Kubernetes Mistakes Side Effects

This is so relatable, isn’t it?

The side effects are so impactful, especially the hidden nature of it, which makes it such a lethal experience that everyone wishes to avoid.

The sad reality is that no one can completely.

Coming to Kubernetes, considering its already complex nature, it requires a strong understanding of the system and awareness of the radius of its impact.

With almost 5.6 million+ developers using Kubernetes globally and over 60% of enterprises adopting it, I find it more surprising that not much material is available on this aspect.

Also, considering the nature of too many parameters and aspects in Kubernetes, it is really hard to create an encapsulated form of this.

Of course, I am not a big fan of 100s of pages of theoretical explainer documents.

Here, I’ve tried my best to cover most Kubernetes aspects and scale the impact of a mistake across the seven prime categories - Security, Availability, Scalability, Resource Efficiency, Maintainability, Compliance, and Cost.

Well, you may appreciate this partially or completely or even dismiss it.

But keep the conversation going within your team.

This is a crucial topic to understand. We all know a fix doesn’t always stop at the same point.

Unless you know the impact and touchpoints, it’s just guesswork.

Let's change that.

This is purely my subjective projection based on over a decade of experience in this domain, and I’m open to hearing your feedback. You can reach out to me via my LinkedIn or Twitter DMs.
