Introduction

Modern cryptography has been used to enable secure communications between individuals or servers, even if these entities do not share any pre-established secret. The cryptographic primitives allow kickstarting a secure channel primarily to deliver two main functionalities: protected channel establishment (known as key establishment) and authentication of digital information/parties (by the use of digital signatures). Once the channel is established, it can use other cryptographic primitives to secure communications over the Internet, provide the root of trust for secure transactions in the digital economy, and keep data private by encrypting it.

First of all, what is this Micro-frontend thing?

Alright, let’s get into it – Micro-Frontend Architecture, a game-changer in web development. Say goodbye to those bulky monolithic structures we’re all tired of. Micro-Frontend Architecture breaks down the frontend into smaller, more manageable chunks. It’s like breaking a big rock into smaller stones – easier to handle, right?

In software architecture, it is always about finding the best solution for your use case and your application in your specific context. Based on that, you have the challenge to find the right balance between flexibility and simplicity. We often must decide between a monolithic system and a microservice architecture. For a long time, the monolithic architecture has been the way to go. Then, microservices came up and most architectures followed way. This blogpost is about the relatively new architecture approach of modulith that finds its place in-between the other two approaches and tries to combine their benefits.

Prerequisites

• Basic knowledge of pros and cons of LLM APIs
• Preliminary knowledge of RAG structure

Introduction

Retrieval Augmented Generation (RAG) is commonly used to enhance the performance of LLM-based systems or incorporate domain-specific knowledge to improve the generated answers of the LLM. However, effectively evaluating and tracking the performance of a RAG system is not straightforward, posing a real challenge in the development and monitoring of such systems in a production environment.

In our team (Worldline TechSquad), we develop and maintain a CRUD REST API for managing our internal events. We use Kotlin and Quarkus as our base language and framework respectively. The project started at the time with Quarkus 1 which was upgraded to Quarkus 2. Since July 2023 Quarkus 3.2 is the current LTS release . Thus, we wanted to update our app as soon as possible to remain on a proper long term support version.
