Garage vs MinIO vs AWS S3: Object Storage Comparison and Feature Matrix

AWS S3, Garage, or MinIO - overview and comparison.

AWS S3 remains the “default” baseline for object storage: it is fully managed, strongly consistent, and designed for extremely high durability and availability.
Garage and MinIO are self-hosted, S3-compatible alternatives: Garage is designed for lightweight, geo-distributed small-to-medium clusters, while MinIO emphasises broad S3 API feature coverage and high performance in larger deployments.

Observability for LLM Systems: Metrics, Traces, Logs, and Testing in Production

End-to-end observability strategy for LLM inference and LLM applications

LLM systems fail in ways that traditional API monitoring cannot surface — queues fill silently, GPU memory saturates long before CPU looks busy, and latency blows up at the batching layer rather than the application layer. This guide covers an end-to-end observability strategy for LLM inference and LLM applications: what to measure, how to instrument it with Prometheus, OpenTelemetry, and Grafana, and how to deploy the telemetry pipeline at scale.
