For many in the world of data science, distributed training can seem a daunting task. In addition to building and thoughtfully evaluating a high-quality ML model, you have to be aware of how to optimize your model for specific hardware and manage infrastructure. The latter skills are not often included

Cloud storage enables organizations to reduce costs and operational burden, scale faster, and unlock other cloud computing benefits. At the same time, they must also ensure they meet privacy and security requirements to restrict access and protect sensitive information. Best practices for securing your data with Cloud Storage Securing enterprise

In an ideal world HashiCorp Vault is neither the first nor last line of defense against an adversary. Most organizations have multiple layers of security, starting at the perimeter and continuing throughout their infrastructure to establish defense in depth. But we’ve built and architected Vault to stand against adversaries

Infrastructure as code (IaC) is undoubtedly changing how engineers approach the cloud. IaC, when coupled with dev tools and automation, opens up new avenues for infrastructure performance, scalability, and now security. By embedding IaC security and compliance controls into your version control systems and CI/CD pipelines, you can start

FastAPI is a fast, highly intuitive and well-documented API framework based on Starlette. Despite being relatively new, it’s gaining strong adoption by the developer community. Following the UNIX philosophy of “doing one thing, and doing it well”, separating parts of the application according to their task improves code readability
Why the GIL matters Edit: The original article, in its entirety appears here. There are plenty of articles explaining why the Python GIL (The Global Interpreter Lock) exists1, and why it is there. The TLDR version is: the GIL prevents multithreaded pure Python code from using multiple CPU cores. However,

Anti-cheat development is, by nature, reactive; anti-cheats exist to respond to and thwart a videogame’s population of cheaters. For instance, a videogame with an exceedingly low amount of cheaters would have little need for an anti-cheat, while a videogame rife with cheaters would have a clear need for an
