Data collaboration, the act of gathering and connecting data from various sources to unlock combined data insights, is the key to reaching, understanding, and expanding your audience. And enabling global businesses to accurately connect, unify, […]
Today we are announcing the open-source GenAI Databases Retrieval App, now available on GitHub. This project is a sample application that demonstrates production-quality practices for using techniques like Retrieval Augmented Generation (RAG) and ReACT to extend your gen AI application with information from Google Cloud databases. Large language models (LLMs) have become increasingly powerful and […]
Workflows is a versatile service in orchestrating and automating a wide range of use cases: microservices, business processes, Data and ML pipelines, IT operations, and more. It can also be used to automate deployment of containerized applications on Kubernetes Engine (GKE) and this got even easier with the newly released (in preview) Kubernetes API Connector. […]
Many customers use Filestore for stateful applications running on Google Kubernetes Engine (GKE). For background on the benefits of using the two together, please see this blog. Filestore, Google Cloud’s fully managed file storage service, is a multi-reader, multi-writer solution that is decoupled from compute VMs, making it resilient to VM changes/failures.

LangChain is a popular framework that makes it easy to build apps that use large language models (LLMs). LangChain recently introduced LangServe, a way to deploy any LangChain project as a REST API. LangServe supports deploying to both Cloud Run and Replit. I asked Nuno Campos, one of the founding engineers at LangChain, why they […]
Google Cloud’s Apigee API Management allows the freedom to deploy your APIs anywhere — in your own data center or public cloud of your choice — by configuring Apigee Hybrid. You can host and manage containerized runtime services in your own Kubernetes cluster for greater agility and interoperability while managing APIs consistently with Apigee. Until […]
Money laundering and organised crime often go hand in hand. It is estimated that between 2%-5% of global GDP, or up to $2 trillion a year, is laundered each year as criminals attempt to conceal the illegal origins of their money. As one of the world’s largest banks, HSBC implements robust controls to prevent criminals […]
Shared VPCs adhere to the principle of least privilege, where only the centralized network and security teams have permissions to create and manage the networking infrastructure in the host project. Developers, on the other hand, only have permissions to deploy compute, storage, and other resources in the service projects. This approach works well in scenarios […]

When making changes to Terraform code that requires no alteration to deployed resources, the Terraform state needs to be updated. This process requires removing Terraform state, updating the Terraform code, then re-importing Terraform state from the existing resources. One of the times you might need to perform this operation is when there are new Terraform […]
In this post, we’ll be showing how to manage BigQuery costs with budgets and custom quota – keep reading, or jump directly into tutorials for creating budgetsor setting custom quota! Early in your journey to build or modernize on the cloud, you’ll learn that cloud services are often pay-as-you-go; and running analytics on BigQuery is […]
If you’ve had the chance to chat with Bard or another conversation AI tool in the last year, you probably, like me, walked away with a distinct impression that services like these are the future of enterprise technology.
