Why Reliability Starts with the Network, even in the AI era, with Marino Wijay

In this episode, we explore how networking has shaped reliability as we know it. Marino Wijay cloud networking expert and Staff Solutions Architect at Kong shares how his journey began not as an SRE, but with cables, routers, and switches. Marino explains the evolution of the fabric holding systems together through virtualization, and how software-defined networking, which is now a key element to resilient applications.

The Hidden Cost of DIY AI in Network Operations

While AI offers powerful benefits for network operations, building an in-house AI solution presents major challenges, particularly around complex data engineering, staffing specialized roles, and maintaining models over time. The effort required to handle real-time telemetry, retrain models, and manage evolving environments is often too great for most IT teams.

Creating and testing a RAG-powered AI app with Gemini and CircleCI

Have you ever asked an AI model a question and received an outdated or completely off-base response? I’ve been there too. The problem is that most AI models rely solely on their pre-trained knowledge, which becomes obsolete over time. This is where RAG can help: RAG is a hybrid AI technique that combines the advantages of retrieval systems and generative models. It bridges the gap by bringing in real-time information from external knowledge sources to improve the generation quality.
