Face Recognition with Python

Some web platform, like Facebook, Google+, Google Glass, or cameras software are implementing face recognition. FBI, CIA and others government polices are using right now face recognition.

For this example we are using SimpleCV, an open source framework builh in Python, for machine vision. You can get it and install it like a python module.

I have commented every line, but if want to explore you can read the API Doc.

SimpleCV is very easy, just 9 lines to recognizing a face in a picture.

Imaging to merge drones and face recognition? Keep hacking. See you.

How to Build Your Own Internal Developer Platform (IDP) Using Crossplane

In the modern cloud-native landscape, the friction between operation stability and developer velocity remains a critical bottleneck. As organizations scale, the manual ticketing systems traditionally used to provision infrastructure become unsustainable. The solution lies in platform engineering: building an Internal Developer Platform (IDP) that enables self-service capabilities without sacrificing governance

Orchestrating State: Building and Deploying Stateful Applications on Kubernetes with Operators

While Kubernetes excels at managing stateless microservices via standard Deployments and ReplicaSets, managing stateful applications—such as databases, message queues, and distributed caches—introduces significant complexity. These applications require stable network identities, persistent storage, and ordered deployment and termination. To solve this in an automated, scalable manner, high-performing engineering teams

Automating Cloud Security Remediation with Policy-as-Code: A Blueprint for CTOs

In the modern cloud-native era, manual security reviews are a bottleneck that stifles velocity. As infrastructure scales, the "click-ops" approach to security management becomes untenable. For Chief Technology Officers and Senior Engineers, the transition to Policy-as-Code (PaC) is not merely a compliance exercise; it is an architectural imperative.

Deconstructing the Monolith: Implementing the Strangler Fig Pattern for High-Availability Migrations

Modernizing legacy systems is rarely a "rip-and-replace" operation. For Chief Technology Officers and Senior Architects, the risk of downtime, data inconsistency, and operational paralysis makes big-bang rewrites a non-starter. The Strangler Fig Pattern, named after the biological behavior of fig trees that grow around a host tree until
