Symmetric encryption vs asymmetric encryption
Symmetric encryption and asymmetric encryption are two types of cryptographic techniques used to secure data and communications, but they differ in their methods of encryption and decryption.
๐น In symmetric encryption, a single key is used for both encryption and decryption of data. It is faster and can be applied to bulk data encryption/decryption. For example, we can use it to encrypt massive amounts of PII (Personally Identifiable Information) data. It poses challenges in key management because the sender and receiver share the same key.
๐น Asymmetric encryption uses a pair of keys: a public key and a private key. The public key is freely distributed and used to encrypt data, while the private key is kept secret and used to decrypt the data. It is more secure than symmetric encryption because the private key is never shared. However, asymmetric encryption is slower because of the complexity of key generation and maths computations. For example, HTTPS uses asymmetric encryption to exchange session keys during TLS handshake, and after that, HTTPS uses symmetric encryption for subsequent communications.

How do companies ship code to production?
The diagram below illustrates the typical workflow.
Step 1: The process starts with a product owner creating user stories based on requirements.
Step 2: The dev team picks up the user stories from the backlog and puts them into a sprint for a two-week dev cycle.
Step 3: The developers commit source code into the code repository Git.
Step 4: A build is triggered in Jenkins. The source code must pass unit tests, code coverage threshold, and gates in SonarQube.
Step 5: Once the build is successful, the build is stored in artifactory. Then the build is deployed into the dev environment.
Step 6: There might be multiple dev teams working on different features. The features need to be tested independently, so they are deployed to QA1 and QA2.
Step 7: The QA team picks up the new QA environments and performs QA testing, regression testing, and performance testing.
Steps 8: Once the QA builds pass the QA teamโs verification, they are deployed to the UAT environment.
Step 9: If the UAT testing is successful, the builds become release candidates and will be deployed to the production environment on schedule.
Step 10: SRE (Site Reliability Engineering) team is responsible for prod monitoring.

We're rolling out new features and improvements that developers have been asking for:
1. Our new model GPT-4 Turbo supports 128K context and has fresher knowledge than GPT-4. Its input and output tokens are respectively 3ร and 2ร less expensive than GPT-4. Itโs available now to all developers in preview.
2. Assistants API and new tools (Retrieval, Code Interpreter) will help developers build world-class AI assistants within their own apps.
3. The platform is becoming multimodal. GPT-4 Turbo with Vision, DALLยทE 3, and text-to-speech are all now available to developers.
Ohโฆ and weโre doubling GPT-4 rate limits. https://t.co/BMnsBAHorI
