The Cost of Conversations

The Cost of Conversations

Table of Contents

This post was originally published on Israeli Tech Radar.

We’ve all been there: a simple question to an AI model turns into a lengthy, back-and-forth “vibe session.” It’s effortless, it’s creative, and it feels free. But behind every token is a hidden cost, and the bill at the end of the month can be a surprise.

How much does 1 question cost ?!

This isn’t just about a few dollars here and there. For businesses, unmanaged AI usage can become a significant and unpredictable expense. Over the next three posts, we’re going to pull back the curtain on AI costs and show you how to move from a reactive user to a strategic master.

  • Part 1: The Cost of Doing Nothing … 🤔 read it here We’ll expose the difference between “vibing” and “building” with AI, and reveal why one model can be a financial trap.
  • Part 2: The LLM Gateway 🔂 read it here We’ll introduce the essential tool that brings order to the chaos, providing centralized visibility and control over your AI spending.
  • Part 3: The Ultimate Efficiency 🔋🔋🔋 We’ll show you how to achieve near-zero cost on your most common requests by leveraging caching and deploying proactive, autonomous agents.

I couldn’t wait to release this series as continuation to the 2 previous post on the subject part1 and part2.

we hope to pay less to nothing for questions we already asked …

⚠️ Spoiler Alert if your not new to A.I this won’t come a shock to you that it costs to ask a question, especially if it’s a good one 😉 … there are some caveats for newcomers and being mindful about A.I could go a long way, get ready to transform your AI usage from a conversation you’re paying for to an investment that pays off.

Get started with part 1, please feel free to share & LMK what you think.

Your’s sincerely, HP

Building a Developer Platform: “Behind the Scenes” of application lifecycle management

Originally posted on the Israeli Tech Radar on medium.

In the dynamic realm of software development, particularly within agile and cloud-native landscapes, the ability to swiftly adapt and innovate is paramount. This agility, however, often comes with its own set of challenges, especially when it involves the coordination and management of numerous microservices and processes. Herein lies the crux of our narrative: the establishment of a robust developer platform, metaphorically dubbed “The Show” for its ability to seamlessly present the final act to the audience — our customers — without exposing the countless hours and effort invested backstage by developers and operations personnel.

AWS KMS Best Practices: Securing the Secret Ingredients of Your Infrastructure

TL;DR

AWS KMS gives you three flavors of encryption keys — AWS-owned, AWS-managed, and Customer Managed Keys (CMKs). For anything resembling production, CMKs are the only real choice: they give you control over rotation, deletion, cross-account access, and most critically — the ability to kill a key in an emergency. Think of KMS like a hotel’s key management system: the entrance guard has one master card, but the security manager holds the safe with all the master keys. Designing your KMS strategy right is what keeps you from handing that safe to an attacker.
