Build a Web-Based Linux Terminal Playground

Rafael Miguel2024-12-09T04:51:18+00:00

In this blog, I will guide you through creating a Simple Web-Based Linux Terminal Playground that enables running Linux commands directly in the browser. We will use technologies such as Podman for containerization, React for the UI, and Express and node-pty for the backend. WebSockets will handle real-time communication between the frontend and backend, creating a seamless, secure, and interactive environment to learn and execute Linux commands. Each connection will be isolated and ephemeral therefore ensuring security and separation between users. Why Use Podman, React, Express, node-pty, WebSockets, and Alpine? Why Podman? Podman is an open-source container engine that focuses [...]

Monitoring Amazon SES Complaint Rates with CloudWatch Alarms and Real-Time Slack Notifications

Nikee Tomas2024-11-29T07:53:29+00:00

Amazon Simple Email Service (SES) is a powerful tool for sending high volumes of emails quickly and efficiently. However, to maintain your email-sending capabilities and ensure high deliverability, it's essential to monitor your sender's reputation closely. One key metric for assessing this reputation is the Complaint Rate, which measures how often recipients mark your emails as spam. A high complaint rate can lead to your emails being filtered into spam folders, throttling, or even suspension of your SES account. This article will guide you through setting up a system to monitor your Amazon SES Complaint Rate in real-time using Amazon [...]

Methods in Evaluating Foundation Model Performance

Neil Rico2024-11-29T05:59:36+00:00

A foundation model is a large-scale, pre-trained artificial intelligence model that serves as a general-purpose system for various downstream tasks. These models, such as GPT for natural language processing or CLIP for vision-language understanding, are trained on extensive datasets and can be fine-tuned or adapted to specific applications. Foundation models are characterized by their ability to generalize across tasks, making them highly versatile and impactful in AI-driven solutions. Evaluating these models' performance is essential to understand their reliability, applicability, and potential business value. However, these models' vast scale and complexity pose unique challenges for evaluation, requiring a multifaceted approach. This article [...]
