Continuous experimentation

At the early stages of a project using pre-trained machine learning models is a quick way to get started. While this practice can help you figure out the problem to be solved, you often discover that your problem is beyond the basics and therefore requires more attention. In this blog post, we demonstrate how we build a machine learning training pipeline running on Kubernetes.

Recap

If you need help with working with APIs

This blog post discusses an alternative way of developing APIs in an internal project using a hybrid method between the Design First and the Code First approaches. It also describes why to provide an OpenAPI Specification, how it impacts the developer experience, and helps you understand some of the common pitfalls that you might stumble upon when you provide an OpenAPI Spec.
