A language model that can use tools. It decides which of your systems to call, such as looking up an order or booking a slot, and carries out a task step by step within limits you set.
AI chatbots and agentsApplication programming interface: a set of rules that lets one piece of software talk to another, for example a mobile app asking a server for data.
Custom softwareContinuous integration and continuous delivery. Every code change is built and tested automatically and can be deployed the same way every time.
DevOps and CI/CDMoving servers, applications and databases from your own hardware or a hosting provider to a public cloud, often with some modernization on the way.
Cloud migration checklistA package that holds an application and everything it needs to run, so it behaves the same on a laptop, a test server and production. Docker is the best-known tool.
DevOps and cloud servicesGoogle's measures of how fast a page loads, how soon it responds and how stable it looks. They affect user experience and can affect search ranking.
Website developmentPermission from the state pollution control board that an industry needs before it is built or expanded. In Gujarat it is issued by the GPCB.
GPCB consent explainedPermission from the state pollution control board to run an industrial unit. It must be renewed, so deadlines matter.
GPCB consent explainedA set of colours, type styles, components and rules, so every new screen looks like it belongs to the same product and can be built faster.
UI/UX designA way of working where the people who build software and the people who run it share one process, with automation for testing, releases and monitoring, so changes ship often and safely.
DevOps and cloud servicesDevOps with security checks built into the pipeline, such as code, dependency and container scans, so problems are found early.
CybersecurityIndia's Digital Personal Data Protection Act. It sets out how personal data may be collected and used and gives people rights over their data.
Our privacy policyEmbeddings turn text into lists of numbers that capture meaning. A vector database stores them so similar passages can be found quickly. They power search in RAG systems.
Generative AI and LLMEnterprise resource planning: one system for people, money, stores and approvals, instead of many separate tools.
ERP developmentTraining an existing model further on your own examples to teach it a style, format or behaviour. It shapes how a model responds, not what is true today.
RAG vs fine-tuningA practice that brings finance, engineering and the business together to manage cloud spend: see what you spend, optimise it and operate with ongoing control.
Cloud cost optimization guideTwo tools for building iOS and Android apps from one codebase. Flutter draws its own interface; React Native uses native components and JavaScript.
Mobile engineeringRunning deployments from Git. The repository describes the desired state and a tool such as Argo CD keeps the system matching it, so every change is reviewed and reversible.
Do you need Kubernetes?The Gujarat Pollution Control Board, which issues and monitors environmental consents for industries in Gujarat.
Compliance software in GujaratDescribing servers, networks and permissions in files, for example with Terraform, so they can be reviewed, repeated and rolled back like code.
DevOps and CI/CDAn international standard for managing information security. A company can be certified against it by an independent body.
SOC 2 and ISO 27001Software that runs and manages containers across a group of machines. It restarts what fails, scales up and down and rolls out new versions in stages. Managed versions are EKS (AWS), AKS (Azure) and GKE (Google Cloud).
Do you need Kubernetes?The prepared foundation in a cloud: accounts, networks, access rules and logging, set up before any workload moves in.
Cloud migrationA model trained on large amounts of text that can read and write language, answer questions and summarise documents. GPT, Claude and Gemini are examples.
Generative AI and LLMA team operates your cloud environment for you, covering monitoring, patching, backups, security and cost, while you keep ownership of the accounts.
Managed cloudBuilding, releasing and running machine learning with the habits of DevOps: automated pipelines, versioning, testing, deployment and monitoring.
MLOpsThe slow loss of accuracy that happens when real-world data moves away from the data a model was trained on. Monitoring catches it early.
MLOpsOne product serving many customers, each in its own workspace with its own data kept separate. It is how most business SaaS is built.
What SaaS costsBeing able to see what a system is doing from the outside, using metrics, logs and traces, so problems are found and explained quickly.
Managed cloudA widely used list of the most critical web application security risks. It is a common starting point for testing web applications.
VAPT testing 101A controlled attempt to break into your application or systems to show what an attacker could really reach, with a report of what to fix.
What VAPT costsWriting clear instructions and examples for a language model so it gives accurate, consistent answers.
Generative AI and LLMA way to make a language model answer from your own documents: the system looks up relevant passages first and gives them to the model, so answers use your facts and can show their sources.
RAG vs fine-tuningSoftware as a service: software you use online and pay for by subscription, instead of installing and running it yourself.
SaaS developmentSoftware bill of materials: a list of every component and library inside a piece of software, so known vulnerabilities can be traced.
Security Compliance ManagementApplying engineering practice to keeping a service reliable, with clear targets, monitoring and incident response.
DevOps and CI/CDAn independent auditor's report on how a company protects customer data. Business customers, especially in the US, often ask for it.
SOC 2 and ISO 27001A tool for writing infrastructure as code. It shows a plan of what will change before it changes anything, and works across AWS, Azure and Google Cloud.
Hire DevOps engineersSeven options for each application when moving to the cloud: retire, retain, rehost, relocate, replatform, repurchase and refactor.
Cloud migrationVulnerability assessment and penetration testing. It combines scanning for known weaknesses with a person trying to exploit them the way an attacker would.
VAPT testingA security approach that trusts no user or device by default. Every request is checked, and each person gets only the access they need.
