Hexagonal Architecture for Provider-Agnostic RAG Pipelines

Demo stack: LangChain, Llama.cpp, Mistral.ai, Qwen Embeddings, PostgreSQL, Telegraf, Prometheus on Docker.

If you started your journey as a web developer, chances are the very first concepts you heard about were HTML and CSS. Perhaps you have already mastered these two skills and started building websites. If you have, I have good news for you: yes, these two skills are genuinely enough to build a website.

The Computer Explained

Hey dev.to ๐Ÿ‘‹ I've just published a new series about how computers actually work, starting from the fundamentals.

The goal is to understand computers from the ground up, one concept at a time. This is the first post in the series (1/9...
