In this post, we will share how we serve a TensorFlow image classification model as RESTful and gRPC based services with TensorFlow Serving on a Kubernetes (k8s) cluster running on Google Kubernetes Engine (GKE) through a set of GitHub Actions workflow

Building a Realtime Chat App with Django Channels and WebSockets
Building stateful web applications can be tricky, unless you use a framework, of course—Django to the rescue! In this article, learn how to build a realtime chat app using Django Channels and WebSockets.

A Python security fix breaks (some) bignums
Typically, an urgent security release of a project is not for a two-year-old CVE, but such is the case for a recent Python release of four versions of the language. The bug is a denial of service (DoS) that can be caused by converting enormous numbers to strings—or vice versa—but it was not deemed serious enough to fix when it was first reported. Evidently more recent reports, including a remote exploit of the bug, have raised its importance—causing a rushed-out fix. But the fix breaks some existing Python code, and the process of handling the incident has left something to be desired, leading the project to look at ways to improve its processes.

High-performance image generation using Stable Diffusion in KerasCV
In this guide, we will show how to generate novel images based on a text prompt using the KerasCV implementation of stability.ai's text-to-image model, Stable Diffusion.
