• LLMs, PDFs, and Load Balancers: A Love Story
  By: Eugene Scray
  Experience Level: Intermediate
  Length: 15 Minutes
  Description:

  Join me for a whirlwind tour of building real apps with Large Language Models, where the PDFs are endless, the prompts are moody, and the alerts come at 2AM.

  We’ll cover:

  • Semantic search with KNN, Lucene, and TF-IDF (because one search method is never enough)

  • Parsing PDFs at scale without crying (much)

  • Prompt engineering with Semantic Kernel (AI therapy sessions included)

  • Web apps behind load balancers (hello, uptime!)

  • Datadog alerts when things catch fire (they will)

  Come for the LLMs, stay for the tech glue and mild existential dread.
