We've all been there. You're clicking around your Rails application, and it just isn't as snappy as it used to be. You start searching for a quick-fix and find a lot of talk about caching. Take your existing app, add some caching, and voila, a performance boost with minimal code changes. However, it's not this simple. Like most quick fixes, caching can have long-term costs.

If there’s one thing SRE professionals and Development engineers lack, it’s time. After all, engineers need to oversee a variety of processes—like ensuring operational stability, conducting integration testing, and maintaining cybersecurity—to make sure their apps are working optimally.

Leaders know that making good, fast decisions is challenging under the best of circumstances. But, the trickiest decisions are those we call “big bets” – unfamiliar and high-stakes decisions.

A year ago, Harry Bagdi wrote an amazingly helpful blog post on observability for microservices. And by comparing titles, it becomes obvious that my blog post draws inspiration from his work. To be honest, that statement on drawing inspiration from Harry extends well beyond this one blog post – but enough about that magnificent man and more on why I chose to revisit his blog. When he published it, our company was doing an amazing job at one thing: API gateways.

The differences between microservices and web services deal with different concepts in modern application design. A microservice is a small, independent, application that performs a highly focused service as well as possible. A web service is an internet-based interface that makes the “services” of one application available to applications running on different platforms.

You did it. You have machine learning capabilities up and running in your organization. Success! What started as a few nascent experiments (and maybe a few failures) are now carefully constructed models racing along in full production—with the ability to scale into the hundreds or thousands of productional models in sight. Assembling your expert team of data scientists and custodians seems like a distant memory. Now you’re looking ahead to the future—growth, innovation, revenue!
