There are many ways to deploy your microservices, each offering different levels of control, simplicity, and scalability. One approach is using Elastic Beanstalk , a fully managed service that simplifies deployment, scaling, and management. Another option is to deploy manually, giving you full control over the infrastructure but requiring more setup and maintenance.

TL;DR: Enterprise AI teams are discovering that purely agentic approaches (dynamically chaining LLM calls) dont deliver the reliability needed for production systems. The prompt-and-pray modelwhere business logic lives entirely in promptscreates systems that are unreliable, inefficient, and impossible to maintain at scale. A shift toward structured automation, which separates conversational ability from business logic execution, is needed for enterprise-grade reliability.

One of the things I love most about OpenTelemetry (OTel) is that its vendor-neutral, which means you can send the same OpenTelemetry data to different vendors.

As per the saying If you dont measure it, you cant manage it by Deming , observability and monitoring is our way to measure our services. Kubernetes is pretty revolutionary when it comes to the way it handles deployments and scales. But the way containers are continuously created and destroyed can sometimes present challenges with monitoring. This is where observability comes into play, offering critical insights into how your system is performing and why issues occur.

Multi-tenancy has become an important feature for modern enterprise applications that need to serve multiple clients (tenants) from a single application instance. While an earlier version of Hibernate had support for multi-tenancy, its implementation required significant manual configuration and custom strategies to handle tenant isolation, which resulted in higher complexity and slower processes, especially for applications with a number of tenants.
