Progressive Deployments

Rolling out a product or improvement involves deploying and launching new features or updates to an existing user base.
A comprehensive rollout plan should address testing protocols, progressive deployment plan, rollback process, communication plan, and user documentation.
Progressive deployment strategies include canary deployments, blue/green deployments, rolling deployments, and shadow deployments.
Feature flags, or feature toggles, provide flexibility in the deployment process by enabling specific features for a subset of users before rolling out to the entire user base.

How to Deploy Your Rig App on AWS Lambda: A Step-by-Step Guide

Rig is a full-stack agent framework in Rust, which offers a unified and intuitive API that supports scalable AI workflows using multiple LLM providers.
To deploy an app built with Rig to AWS Lambda, developers use the lambda-runtime client with Rust runtime client and lambda events.
This blog post provides a step-by-step deployment guide for a simple Rig app on AWS Lambda that uses OpenAI's GPT-4-turbo, does not rely on a vector store, and is event-based.
Performance metrics for the Rig app running on AWS Lambda showed that the app used an average of 26MB of memory per function execution and had an average cold start time of 90.9ms.
The same app was also deployed using Langchain's Python library, Langchain-entertainer on AWS Lambda. It had an average cold start time of 1,898.52ms.
The blog post concludes with Rig's future plans including expanding LLM provider support, enhancing performance, and developing additional tools and libraries.
The author encourages developers to contribute to Rig's growth and offers a chance to win $100 and have their project featured in Rig's showcase.
Developers must have a clone of the rig-entertainer-lambda crate, an AWS account, and an OpenAI API key to begin building.
AWS Lambda supports Rust through the use of the OS-only runtime Amazon Linux 2023 in collaboration with the Rust runtime client.
The post highlights two ways to deploy Rust lambdas to AWS: AWS SAM CLI, and cargo lambda CLI; or by creating a Dockerfile for your app and using that container image in your Lambda function instead.

Building a Scalable Multi-Tier Web Application on AWS

This post covers a detailed implementation of a multi-tier web application, hosted on AWS, designed for scalability and high availability.
The application architecture includes an autoscaling group of EC2 instances to serve web requests, with a dedicated backend infrastructure for queue, database storage, and caching management.
Main requirements include a web application server, load balancing, autoscaling, backend servers for queuing, caching, and database storage, domain and SSL, DNS management, AWS CLI & Maven.
The three-tier architecture consists of Presentation Layer (Web App Frontend), Application Layer (Service Backend), and Data Layer (Database and Caching)
The implementation includes steps like creating key pairs and security groups, launching EC2 instances with user data scripts, configuring Route 53 for DNS, building and deploying the application code, setting up the application load balancer, configuring auto-scaling for the web application EC2 instances.
User access to the app, backend processing, scaling, and availability are key features that were levered to provide efficient handling of fluctuating traffic.
The AWS application helped in gaining valuable insights into scalable architecture, automated deployment, and cloud security.
In conclusion, the AWS set up provides a strong foundation for future applications.

Floating point: Everything old is new again

In the early days of computing, mathematicians focused on understanding and mitigating the limitations of floating point arithmetic.
With the shift to double precision, the need to consider floating point computation has decreased, but it still remains relevant in some cases.
There is now a growing interest in using lower precision numbers, such as half precision, particularly in applications like neural networks.
However, using lower precision numbers requires revisiting issues like different ways of rounding, which were studied in the past.
