With increasing complexity and demand for highly scalable and robust applications, conventional monolithic architecture is no longer the best choice. After a certain threshold, monolithic architecture tends to hinder application performance and scalability. Moreover, with an enormous codebase, making changes to the tightly coupled, dependent processes in the monolithic architecture drastically increases the impact of single process failure.

Chatbots have redefined the way customers interact with businesses. According to HubSpot, “47% of consumers are open to buying items through a chatbot”. Thus, majority of organisations have joined the race of augmenting or building these virtual agents on their websites.

Google has officially introduced Gemini, its latest artificial intelligence (AI) model equipped with capabilities in text, code, audio, image, and video. The entity claims that Gemini AI significantly outperforms Microsoft-backed OpenAI's GPT-4, potentially enhancing Google's standing in the AI competition.

In a world that is becoming increasingly interconnected, the importance of effective communication cannot be overstated. However, for the millions of individuals in the deaf and hard of hearing community, traditional communication methods often fall short, creating barriers that hinder their full participation in various aspects of life.

On average, a human speaks 700 words per day, which includes the words of actual value (i.e. words that have an intent to communicate to another person). Instant messaging, telephonic conversations, books, movies, songs, verbal (F2F) communication are amongst some of the common ways humans exchange their thoughts and information.

Businesses no longer need to bear the burden of expenses tied to dedicated cloud servers during periods of inactivity. Serverless technology has emerged as a practical solution, enabling businesses to allocate developers without the necessity of substantial spending on backend frameworks.

The key to a successful software development project lies in careful planning and a systematic framework. This framework acts as a roadmap, guiding developers to make well-informed decisions throughout the project. Predictive or Adaptive software development life cycle processes ensure a structured approach where all stakeholders can track the progress in multiple stages. Choosing the right software development method helps organizations manage potential risks, improve scalability, enhance project quality, control development costs, and increase team collaboration. 

Large Language Models (LLMs) have long been at the forefront of artificial intelligence, leveraging vast amounts of textual data to perform tasks ranging from language translation to content generation. These models have laid the foundation for numerous applications, fundamentally transforming the way machines understand and generate human-like text. However, as the landscape of AI continues to evolve, a shift is occurring with the rise of Multimodal LLMs.

The era of guessing your size and hoping for the best when ordering clothes online is becoming a thing of the past. In today’s digital world, shoppers are looking for a more tailored experience, one that mirrors the personal touch of in-store shopping but the convenience of doing it from their own home. This is where the idea of trying on clothes virtually, with the help of smart technology, comes into play.

The Internet of Things (IoT) is a technological framework that is being adopted in myriad industries at a fierce rate. There has been continuous innovation in this field of technology as it converges with various technology stacks associated with Big Data and Artificial Intelligence. Simultaneously, the number of connected IoT devices is also increasing rapidly, posing the need to improve one of the most important aspects of IoT - scalability.
