Inevitable article about the AI revolution

ChatGPT: In the rapidly evolving landscape of technology, Artificial Intelligence (AI) has emerged as a disruptive force set to revolutionize the manufacturing process. As the potential of AI continues to grow, it is transforming traditional manufacturing systems, fostering greater efficiency, productivity, and innovation.

Ah yes, somehow it feels almost inevitable that at some point I would write something about AI. Probably something about how it magically generates content on demand, or how you no longer need artists to create art. And although the steps forward in usability with the wider availability of tools like ChatGPT (large language model) and Midjourney (diffusion model) have made AI appeal to a much larger audience, these ‘innovations’ aren’t necessarily the ones I’m mostly looking forward to.

I feel like not enough people are talking about Iterative Design powered by Artificial Intelligence.

Scalable data processing

“I’ve heard you like scalability, so what about some scalability to scale your scalability?”

The use-case of this architecture is to provide a very scalable data processing pipeline that handles both authentication with the data provider and processing the data into flexible datasets. For the purpose of this specific setup, the consumption of the data itself (which is managed by a separate application) is outside of the scope.

In this specific setup we are talking about authenticating with web sockets , processing this data through an application layer and writing this data into either our Clickhouse or MongoDB datasets. Though there will not be much detail, I will describe all three layers individually.
