So lets say you have a project, where you want to write some code but you need some input from the chatbot somewhere in your execution. Maybe you want a sentence translated, or maybe you are trying to answer a question or analyze some data. So the first part of this, of course, is that […]

I recently came up against this topic while trying to solve a bottleneck issue in production. While the end result was still ‘throw cpu at it’, in the process I learned that pod cpu resource settings and how they translate into actual host cpu usage is a bit more of a twisting path than I […]
