LLM Testing in 2025: Methods and Strategies

Dec 19, 2024 By Nate Lee In Speedscale
Large Language Models, or LLMs, have become a near-ubiquitous technology in recent years. Promising the ability to generate human-like content with simple and direct prompts, LLMs have been integrated across a diverse array of systems, purposes, and functions, including content generation, image identification and curation, and even heuristics-based performance testing for APIs and other software components.

Using gRPC with Python

Dec 18, 2024 By Kush Mansingh In Speedscale
Microservices are now the architecture of choice for many developers when crafting cloud-native applications. A microservices application is a collection of loosely coupled services that communicate with each other, enhancing collaboration, maintainability, scalability, and deployment. There are several options for enabling this communication between microservices. When it comes to Python, gRPC and REST are two extremely popular directions to go.

What is a Memory Leak?

Dec 17, 2024 By Josh Thornton In Speedscale
Memory leaks happen when a program fails to release memory it no longer needs, and can be a big issue for developers and system administrators alike, as the gradual depletion of available memory often makes for complex troubleshooting and debugging. Given how the consequences of a memory leak can range from decreased system performance to outright crashes, it’s crucial to isolate the root cause of the leak quickly and efficiently.

EP14: Platform Engineering for Architects

Dec 17, 2024 By WSO2 In WSO2
In this episode, hosts Sanjiva and Asanka are joined by special guest Daniel Bryant to explore the evolving practice of platform engineering through the lens of software architecture. They discuss why platform engineering should have a product mindset with developers as its primary customers, how platform and software architectures are symbiotic, and why good APIs, abstractions, and automation are essential for success. The conversation also highlights the role of internal developer platforms (IDPs) in enabling efficient and scalable software delivery.

The 4 Golden Signals: All You Need to Know

Dec 12, 2024 By Kush Mansingh In Speedscale
As a team, we have spent many years troubleshooting performance problems in production systems. Applications have become so complex that you need a standard methodology to understand performance. Our approach to this problem is called the Golden Signals. By measuring these signals and paying very close attention to these four key metrics, providers can simplify even the most complex systems into an understandable corpus of services and systems.

Traffic-Driven Testing: Shift Right With The Ultimate Guide

Dec 11, 2024 By James Konik In Speedscale
In the process of developing software, designing and performing testing is a critical aspect of ensuring high software reliability, improving software quality, and deploying strong fit and function. The shift-right testing approach moves testing to later in your production cycle as a way of doing this with more accurate user data and post-production testing practices. Also known as “testing in production,” with shift-right, you test software after it has been deployed.
