Retrieval-augmented generation emerges as the standard architecture for LLM-based applications Given that LLMs can generate factually incorrect or nonsensical responses, retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) has emerged as an industry standard for building GenAI applications. This is equivalent to driving 123 gas-powered cars for a whole year.

Most organisations go through an architecture modernisation effort at some point as their systems drift into a state of intolerable maintenance costs and they diverge too far from modern technological advances. What architecture will be optimal for enabling that business vision? How are we going to deliver the new architecture?

Across the cloud operations lifecycle, especially in organizations operating at enterprise scale, the sheer volume of cloud-native services and dynamic architectures generate a massive amount of data. IT operations teams need ways to monitor infrastructure, even if it’s not within their data centers and under their direct management.

Spiraling cloud architecture and application costs have driven the need for new approaches to cloud spend. Today, many global industries implement FinOps, including telecommunications, retail, manufacturing, and energy conservation, as well as most Fortune 50 companies. This practice isn’t just about reducing costs.

Only space system architects don’t call it request-response, they call it a ‘ bent-pipe architecture.’.

This results in delays of up to 5.5
