Imagine a user waiting several seconds for an app to load due to slow API responses. Frustration builds, user retention plummets, and scaling becomes a nightmare. API performance is a critical determinant of user experience and system reliability. Fast APIs ensure seamless interactions and support scalability. Among the strategies to enhance API speed, caching stands out as a powerful, cost-efficient approach.

It’s impossible to learn about containerization without hearing about Docker and Kubernetes. These two tools together dominate the world of containers, both being the de facto standard in what they each do. When you’re first getting started learning about containers, it can be quite a challenge to figure out the differences between these two tools.

In the 21st-century business world, application programming interfaces, or APIs, have become a critical tool for modern organizations. APIs have proven integral when it comes to application development. In addition, APIs help add better functionality and scalability to modern apps. From automating tasks to improving services, APIs provide organizations with various benefits. However, the benefits of API development don't come without some challenges.

For years, companies have operated under the prevailing notion that AI is reserved only for the corporate giants — the ones with the resources to make it work for them. But as technology speeds forward, organizations of all sizes are realizing that generative AI isn’t just aspirational; it’s accessible and applicable now.

Sorry for the click-bait title, but everyone is talking about AI Agents, and for a good reason. With the proliferation of LLMs, everyone – from software engineers using LLMs as a coding copilot to people using AI to plan vacations – is looking for new ways to use the technology that isn’t just answering questions or searching knowledgebases.

As organizations increasingly integrate AI into day-to-day operations, scaling AI solutions effectively becomes essential yet challenging. Many enterprises encounter bottlenecks related to data quality, model deployment, and infrastructure requirements that hinder scaling efforts. Cloudera tackles these challenges with the AI Inference service and tailored Solution Patterns developed by Cloudera’s Professional Services, empowering organizations to operationalize AI at scale across industries.

In today's interconnected web ecosystem, modern applications frequently need to communicate across different domains, making Cross-Origin Resource Sharing (CORS) a fundamental concept for web developers to master. This comprehensive guide explores CORS from its basic principles to advanced implementation strategies, helping developers understand how to enable secure cross-origin communications in their applications.
