I read some actionable content today, covering topics ranging from quickstart documentation to fixing architecture documentation. And there’s some educational content mixed in there too. Enjoy!

[blog] How we’re using AI to help transform healthcare. There’s so much opportunity for responsible AI in the healthcare space. I like where we’re heading.
[article] Oxide Launches the World’s First Commercial Cloud Computer. On-prem infrastructure could use a shake-up, and Oxide has a good shot of doing just that. Also read the Runtime story, and TechCrunch story.
[blog] Save up to 52 percent on your database compute costs with AlloyDB committed use discounts. “Cost” in the cloud is such a multi-faceted conversation. There’s the cost of services, opportunity cost, TCO, and much more. Long-term investments can save you money, as shown here.

[article] How to create SOAP services in ASP.NET Core. Are you creating SOAP services in 2023? I bet some of you are! Some systems still depend on this protocol, so it’s cool to see how to support that in modern frameworks.
