Developer Question- How to connect Vision API to app?

Hello,I am working with a developer on how to create an app that uses Face Recognition (Vision API product). How do I connect the app to the vision API so the app works with the Vision API? I have not found the documentation that shows how to connect the two, so it can work as one. Can someone share the documentation or strategy on how to make it work?

An introduction to MLOps with TensorFlow Extended (TFX)

Machine Learning (ML) model code accounts for approximately 5% of the total code needed to train, deploy, and run ML models in production according to Google research. The goal of MLOps is a production-level process, similar to DevOps, but with data as a first-class citizen.  Robert Crowe, Tensorflow Developer Engineer, introduces TFX, an open-source project, in this 13 minutes I/O 2022 video. If you are interested in getting started with MLOps, this video is for you.https://io.google/2022/program/8f7765f2-2357-4829-8c87-e54d81e999a0/

What's Postgres transaction ID utilization and why it matters

PostgreSQL uses transaction IDs (also called TXIDs or XIDs) to implement Multi-Version Concurrency Control semantics (MVCC).To prevent transaction ID wraparound, PostgreSQL uses a vacuum mechanism, which operates as a background task called autovacuum (enabled by default), or it can be run manually using the VACUUM command. A vacuum operation freezes committed transaction IDs and releases them for further use. You can think of this mechanism as “recycling” of transaction IDs that keeps the database operating despite using a finite number to store the transaction ID.Vacuum can sometimes be blocked due to workload patterns, or it can become too slow to keep up with database activity. If transaction ID utilization continues to grow despite the freezing performed by autovacuum or manual vacuum, the database will eventually refuse to accept new commands to protect itself against TXID wraparound. To help you monitor your database and ensure that this doesn’t happen, Cloud SQL for PostgreSQL

Setting SLOs: How to select and implement them?

 Architecture of web-based e-commerce applicationSLOs are well-defined, concrete targets for system availability. They represent a dividing line between user happiness and unhappiness, and they frame all discussions about whether the system is running reliably as perceived by users. The SLO Adoption and Usage Survey reveal that, despite the importance of SLOs in ensuring the reliability of services, many organizations have not implemented SLOs. The survey also shows that organizations using SLOs fail to update them regularly as their businesses evolve. These missed opportunities can keep organizations from gaining all of the benefits SRE offers.It's because defining SLOs is a difficult task and many do not know where to start. In addition, our experience with customers suggests that teams may lack executive support, a critical component in SLO definition, alignment, and success. This blog from the Google Cloud SRE & DevOps blogs explain a step-by-step guide for building SLOs and de

Faster model training and experimentation with Vertex AI

When developing a machine learning model, running multiple Trials of your training code with different values can be very time-consuming. Serverless hyperparameter tuning and multi-GPU setup are two services to make model training faster with Vertex AI, Google’s managed AI platform. Nikita Namjoshi demonstrates in this I/O 2022 video how to use these features. They are real time-savers.https://io.google/2022/program/934cbc5f-42bb-4f6c-99fe-4972995eb381/

First recipient of the Google Cloud DevOps Award is ...

Google Cloud has created a new award to recognize excellence in DevOps implementations, and the inaugural awardee is Broadcom.Reading through the linked article, it makes sense why Broadcom was recognized! With an average of 6,500+ deployments across multiple environments in a day, and by consolidating from 60 data centers globally to 27 Google Cloud Regions and points of presence, Broadcom has reduced their teams’ maintenance burden and enabled a new focus on innovation.It’s always fun, to me, to see companies getting DevOps right. There are real benefits that can be realized with good practices!https://symantec-enterprise-blogs.security.com/blogs/feature-stories/broadcom-software-honored-first-ever-google-cloud-devops-award
