I can't remember the last time I went through a day without listening to music.

This morning I fell into a rabbit hole reading about companies quietly walking back their AI bets.

I was having a conversation with a friend the other day who was stuck on a decision.

Recently my mom told me something I had never heard before.

We recently built a hotel management agent for a customer.

I don't know about you but for me, every single morning starts the same way now.

86,000 lines of code generated. 1,897 messages. 680 files changed. 188 sessions. 2 Developers. 2 months.

Trigger Warning: One of the stories might make you cry.

Modern software teams are rapidly embracing AI-powered workflows, from generating boilerplate code to analyzing entire pull requests.

Cloudflare has introduced AutoRAG, a fully managed Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) service that enables developers to create intelligent, context-aware applications grounded in proprietary data.

As more applications rely on large language models (LLMs), prompt caching has become essential for making these systems efficient and cost-effective.

Handling customer emails efficiently is critical for any organization.

As we build more and more Gen AI-integrated applications, it has become hard to identify the costs associated with using third-party AI APIs like OpenAI, and Amazon Bedrock.

Over the past year, the focus on Generative AI has been expanding, and if you are a developer who has been in the JavaScript ecosystem for a long time, having to switch to Python would be holding you back from building AI-first applications.

The serverless tech space is changing, offering new opportunities in the database architecture scene.

Managing access to multiple AWS accounts and applications within an organization can be complex and time-consuming, leading to several challenges especially during serverless application development process.

Since serverless is designed to scale to infinity, one of the questions we get asked very often is whether a DDoS attack on the serverless application can result in a hefty Cloud Bill.

As we bid farewell to another year, it's natural to look back and reflect on all that has happened.

We all know one (or more) person(s) who has at least 3000 unread emails in their inbox.

2020 and 2021 have been roller coaster ride for everyone.

Building Serverless Applications that use various cloud resources can be tricky.

Back in my college days, my imagination of software development was mostly people sitting in isolated cubicles and getting the work done.

AWS App Runner is a fully managed service that makes it easy for developers to quickly deploy containerized web applications and APIs, at scale and with no prior infrastructure experience required.

Previously I had written about how can we disable targeted ads on various social media and e-commerce sites.

Even though it was obvious for most of us, a lot of people lost their minds when Social Dilemma came out on Netflix explaining how their behavior and thoughts are being controlled by social media "platforms".

Till now my website, blog, URL shortener were distributed over different repositories as I had hosted everything on GitHub pages.

Recently I came across this website which had the complete guide on web development.

In one of my early posts I explained how we can set up an API gateway for a serverless lambda which can talk to DynamoDB.

It has been almost a year of me switching constantly between working on Tableau and JavaScript.

Managing side-projects or freelance projects can be hard when you have to do everything by yourself.

Were you ever been in a situation where you had to fetch a lot of data from a website manually or to extract a small piece of information from a website which did not have an API?

One question I am asked very often is that how come I have my interests and knowledge in Web Dev / Front End even though I work on totally different things at my office.

Hold on, before you start judging me for the title, I'm not referring to looks of humans or any other living things.

"be a unicorn in a field of horses" Sounds cool, isn't it?

It's somewhere between 11PM - 1AM, you are already deep into social media scrolling game.

I have been traveling a lot because of work these days.

Since it's the beginning of the new year, I see a lot of rewind videos on YouTube.

If you have been around me, then you would have already asked me why my palms are sweaty.

I spent most of my last week building my first React Application that fetches data from AWS DynamoDB and adds data to DynamoDB.

TL;DR - I use too many note taking apps.

Disclaimer: If you are considering taking 10 selfies a day and putting random filters on it is photography, I'm sorry.

I think I was little overconfident on myself when I decided to start blogging (Again!).
