The Cloud Monitoring team believes in the power of the open source community and open source interfaces. Our stance is that you should be able to get the near-unlimited scalability of our metrics platform without giving up the platform neutrality of open source projects or the battle-tested breadth of resources created by the community. This […]

In recent years, there’s been a surge in the adoption of streaming analytics for a variety of use cases, for instance predictive maintenance to identify operational anomalies, and online gaming — creating player-centric games by optimizing experiences in real-time. At the same time, the rise of generative AI and large language models (LLMs) that are […]

Over 10 years ago we launched Earth Engine, Google’s cloud-based service for geospatial processing, to address the greatest sustainability challenges of our time. Since then, it has continually evolved alongside the growing urgency of environmental issues to include 90+ petabytes of analysis-ready geospatial data. With a wider range of options available for analyzing satellite data, […]

The FDA has a history of using real world evidence (RWE) as an integral component of the drug approval process. Moreover, RWE can mitigate the need for placebos in some clinical trials. The clinical records that make RWE evidence useful, however, often reside in unstructured formats, such as doctor’s notes, and must be “abstracted” into […]

Despite Kubernetes’ many automation features, running containerized applications comes with some challenges. One of them is the need to define resources required by the application. Those are typically CPU and memory but may also include local storage. Kubernetes provides a way of configuring resources for an application in the Pod templates. code_block <ListValue: [StructValue([(‘code’, ‘metadata:rn […]

In today’s fast-paced AI landscape, developers face numerous challenges when it comes to building applications that use large language models (LLMs). In particular, the scarcity of GPUs, which are traditionally required for running LLMs, poses a significant hurdle. In this post, we introduce you to a novel solution that allows developers to harness the power […]
