Retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) is gaining traction, and for good reason. As businesses and AI experts search for more intelligent ways to process information, RAG combines the best of both worlds, i.e., the vast knowledge of retrieval systems and the creative power of generation models. But what exactly is RAG, and why is everyone talking about it?

In the world of LLMs, size doesn’t matter. It’s how you generate output that counts. Generative AI (GenAI) adoption rate in organizations jumped from 33% to 65% this year, which means if your organization isn’t leveraging AI, it’s time to get on board or get left behind. One powerful way enterprises are leveraging GenAI is by training and deploying private Large Language Models (LLMs).

Testing is a critical aspect of software development, as it ensures your application works as intended and meets quality standards. In Node.js, testing is essential for the early detection of bugs in public endpoints. However, there are many challenges associated with testing in Node. External dependencies, asynchronous operations, and several possible input scenarios make writing tests a daunting task.

Lambda functions in Python are a powerful way to create small, anonymous functions on the fly. These functions are typically used for short, simple operations where the overhead of a full function definition would be unnecessary. While traditional functions are defined using the def keyword, Lambda functions are defined using the lambda keyword and are directly integrated into lines of code. In particular, they are often used as arguments for built-in functions.

As a follow-up to our recent Kong Insomnia v10 release that shipped with an unlimited and free Collection Runner and one week after announcing our official SCIM support for automated user provisioning, we're now excited to announce Insomnia v10.1. This release ships with the general availability of the CLI to use the Collection Runner with CI/CD automation, a new in-app invite wizard that simplifies working with collaborators, and many other improvements.

In the last few years, there has been a lot of movement around new and exciting PHP testing tools. While this is great news, stepping back a little and understanding the underlying concepts before jumping in is vital to writing great PHP tests. When we talk about testing tools and methodologies, we're referring to automated testing tools. Writing code that tests your PHP apps is a great way to build confidence that your application will behave as you expect.

If you’re at all familiar with APIs, you know that REST APIs are the main API used, particularly when it comes to microservices and their applications. gRPC is a high-performance, binary, and strongly-typed protocol using HTTP/2, while REST is a simpler, text-based, and stateless protocol using HTTP with JSON/XML.

Did you know that 72% of SaaS companies plan to adopt usage-based pricing in the near future? It shows a growing demand for flexible, consumption-based billing models. If you want your business to stay ahead of the curve, you need the right tools to capitalize on this trend. Metered billing aligns revenue with customer consumption. It offers numerous benefits like improved customer satisfaction, increased trust, and reduced churn.

As organizations increasingly seek to enhance decision-making and drive operational efficiencies by making knowledge in documents accessible via conversational applications, a RAG-based application framework has quickly become the most efficient and scalable approach. As RAG-based application development continues to grow, the solutions to process and manage the documents that power these applications need to evolve with scalability and efficiency in mind. Until now, document preparation (e.g.
